FISH WITH GoOGOo EYES.
Same Being About the Size of Loco
motive Headlights.
u the San Francisco Call

from the san Francisco Call.
Capt. Ross of the Standard OIL com
pany's steamer Dakotah, which arrived
here yesterday from Manila, enjoyed
a brief but sou1-stirring Irritation july
IL with a strange fish. On the Da :
kotahs log the finny flirt is described
as being forty feet long and ten feet
wide, with a cavernouS mouth and very
large eyes.
Capt. Ross was on the bridge when
his mate called attention to what he
thought was whale on the port bow
When within about hundred feet Of
the monster they saw that while very
like whale at distance an intima tc
view showed no resemblance.
AS we came along said Capt. Ross.
the creature turned It's head toward
the ship. II waa the fierceSt fac l
ever saw. The mouth was like the ca
trance to a railroad tunnel and tie
eyes big as locomotive headlights. For
all the ferocity OF the face the eyes hal
a kind look in them.
I'VE watched the brute intently. Just
as we came almost alongside he CAV,
those eyes q regular gocgoo roll ala
sank OFT of sight. A whale would have
gone down head first and waved good
bye with his tail. We never saw thls
fellows tail. and whether he said good
is more than | can tell. I've been 10 sea
for many years. but never saw another
fish like that one.
AS proof that the fish was all lie de-
scribes, Capt. Ross points to inc lo-.
which says the encounter took place in
latitude ~ degrees 80 minutes norti,
longitude lJa degrees west.

PROFIT IN CASTOR BEANS.
A Crop Of Southern California
Which Yields 800 Per Acre.

From the Technical World Magazine.
4 novel industry. vet one which IL said
by It's owner to be very remunerative on
small capital. has been quietly carried on
in southern California for some time by
an elderly German rancher. who brought
the secret, II secret it can be called. from
southern Europe when he migrated west
ward several years ago.
Castor beans are the sole crop grown
by this German. and for their growing lie
uses nothing but bare, semi-arid valleys
and gently sloping hillsides, on which,
owing to lack of water, nothing else will
grow to good advantage. He supplies, of
course, only a small part Of the castor
beans in use in the world. but his is be-
leved to be the only ranch Of its kind in
California, II not in the United States,
much Of the oil being prepared from the
seeds Of the wild shrubs. which grow in
great profusien in some parts of America
and Mexico.
When the beans were sacked and
weighed. all the small ones having been
culled out in the winnowing process,
Grass discovered that he had between
could be produced in the world. For these
he received cents per pound. almost siOO
per acre for his Ave acres.
The work done on the beans had been
all his own, with the aid OF one horse,
and had been performed at spare times
from caring for a large barley field which
he owned The beans were so much more
profitable than the barley that the thrifty
German the next season set out fifteen
more acres to the oil producing shrubs.
From these he has consistently, during
the eight or nine years since that first ex-
pertinent. received an income averaging
$1D0 per acre. At times OF great yield, ap-
parently when the castor bean producers
OF other parts Of the world were unload
ing big stocks on the market. prices have
gone down. but Mr.. Brass has never re-
ceived less than 3 cents per pound for
his beans, and during one or two years
the price went as high as cents The
demand for the beans is always good,
and Brass believes that field Of 100
acres would be more profitable than 100
acres Of alfalfa. one Of the best-paying
crops Of southern California

Place Your Advertising Agent
On His Mettle

Don't give him contract for from one to
three years.
Don't say, "For this period, all the advertis-
ing place is to be placed through you"
Make him fight to keep your business as
hard as he fights to get it.
And let the keeping or the getting be decided
by comparative results.
This policy will come like bomb, we know,
into the old-time agency camps.
They will say, "How can agents sleep if
their business becomes as unstable as that?"
You don't want them to sleep-thats exactly
the point. You want them to keep to the mark.
Make an agent prove, when he solicits your
business. that he can outsell the rest.
And make him prove so long as he keeps it,
that no other concern can outsell him.
What would be the result if advertisers in
general adopted this sensible policy?
It would simply be this
No srnooth-tongued statesmen, no improved
boasts. no snowy ads would 60.
Soliciting expense would be largely wiped
out. The cost of getting contracts signed
would be spent on increasing clients results.

Under Severe Ban.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 1.-The
laws enacted by the state Of Alabama
this week against the sale Of liquor are
United States, and will come very near
making Alabama territory the dryest in
the world.
Every possible safeguard against the
SALE distribution or giving away Of any
kind Of liquors or beers In the state has
been adopted, and all possible loopholes
of escape or evasion on the part of the
men who undertake to do a blind tiger
Or boot-legging business have been plug
ged up. The most rigid provisions are
made for the enforcement Of the laws.
and the matter Of arrest and prosecu-
ton, even on suspicion, is made easy for
an; citizen.

their passage this week. and which are
to be supported by constitutional
amendment provided for submission to
the vote of the people In sixty days. and
which will be adopted by an overvhelm-

century, overturning the traditions of
hospitality tor which Alabama is SO
widely known, and introducing an entire
ly new order Of things In matters of So
cial entertainment, and abolishing GUS

vailed ever since Alabama became

Carmichael Law.


What is known as the Carmichael law.
named for the speaker of the house Of
representatives who was is patron. the
general law which defines what liquors
beers, manufacturers and dealers in the
same are, and establishes the penalties
for violation, is the one upon which the
main pressure Of tile structure stands. II
prohibits the sale, barter. exchange or
giving away Of liquors. wines. beers, bit
tiers or beverages of any kind that CON-
tain more than one-haif OF one per cent
OF alcohol. Retail dealers are defined as
those who sell in less quantities than five
gallons at one time, and wholesale deal
ers those who sell not less than Ave gal
Ions.
Ali clubs and other places that are not
private residences are outiaWed for the
sale. exchange or giving away of liquors
or beers and even private homes that are
used as places for congregation for the
purpose of tipping. Any such place as
may be used for drinking may be deemed
a common nuisance and stopped by writ
Of injunction by solicitors or prosecuting
dence and the practice and procedure that
pertain to courts Of equity generally in
the state may be invoked and applied In
such injunction procedure. Chartered
clubs violating the provisions OF the Law
are required to forfeit their charters.
and such forfeiture be declared in quo
warranto proceedings against the club.
The punishment provided for violation OF
the law is fifty dollars to FIVE hundred

for the first offense. and for each SUISSE
uuent offense from three to six months at

Which Should Controlt

dominate Alabama The speaker Of the
house and the overwhelming majority OF
the members Of the legislature were to-
tally in sympathy with the movement.
and q large majority Of the people of the
state are behind 1t. In the smaller towns
and In the rural districts the sentiment
for the strictest anti-liquor provisions
possible is almost solid, while the larger
cities are about evenly divided In senti-
Inent.
With the passage Of the new laws every
social club in the state ordered all liquors
owned by their members to be moved out
and the lockers discontinued. This In
cludes the country clubs III the state. the
golf clubs and every organization where
members IN their private lockers. They
are all as dry as the desert Of Sahara
Last week the Southern Club. which is
one OF the oldest and most influential in
the state. held funeral services over the
death of the old system. The lockers
were all draped in mourning. the idol
Billiken, was decked in crepe, and flu
neral march with the dirge proceeded
through the clubroons, after which
speeches were made setting forth the
virtues Of the deceased.
The new laws were framed by former
Chief Justice Samuel D. W'eakley OF the
supreme court OF Alabama, one OF the
study OF the prohibition laws Of the Diff
ferent states which have stood the test
of the United States Supreme Court and
a close comparison with the ycrbiase of
the federal statutes. Judge Weakley
stakes his reputation as lawyer that
no one can upset them in the higher
courts. When the constitutional amend
