The GREEN MORAY.
A Savage and Voracious Eel Found In
Bermudian Waters

The experienced sea fisherman takes
care to kill every large conger eel as
soon as it is brought into the boat. The
conger has not only extraordinary Jaw
power-it can triturate shellfish, shells
and all but is also so abominably ac.
tive that the fisherman's opinion OF IL
comedies with that held of the Indian
by the western plainsman, "No good
conger except dead conger."
Ugly and savage brute as the conger
Is. 1t Is a lamb compared with it's rela-
tive. the green moray Of Bermudian
waters. This great eel is Of an un.
naturally brilliant green and has an
eye which is the very epitome of IN
tense and malignant ferocity. 1t is
voracious and savage beyond words.
The negro bOatmen have such holy
horror Of it that they absolutely re-
ruse to allow moray into the boat.
An acquaintance Of the writer, a ma
rine officer. fishing in a small boat of
Bermuda, hooked one Of these fish. but
as soon as his boatman saw the hid
eOus head above the water he whipped
out his knife and made to cut the line.
The officer shouted to him to stop. but
had to threaten to throw the man
overheard before he would put up his
knife. When the great eel was pulled
over the side the negro went absolute
ly ashy with fright. AS for the moray.
no sooner was 1t In the boat than It
doubled upon itself. and its jaws met
with clash in its own side. cutting
out chunk Of white flesh as neatly
as a scoop would cut cheese. That
was enough for the officer. He picked
up boathook and forked the uncanny
creature overboard-C Jour.

TWO REFTNERIES PLANNED.
Charleston to Be Distributing Point
For Sugar.

Charleston, Nov. 15.-The publica-
tion or the proposed establishment Of
sugar refinery in Charleston was
the first which has been made but il
Is expected that in a few days the
FORMAL and authorized announcement
of the enterprise will be made known.
Instead of one refinery, plans are
making for two plants of the kind.
and according to the information at
hand. progress has been made and
1t is only matter of a few days when
at least one of the enterprises will
take life with the formal application
for charter for the organization of
the company in which considerable
local capital is to be invested.
The matter of establishing a sugar
plant in Charleston was started by
parties Independent of the so-called
trust but recently representative
OF the American Sugar Refining Com
pany was in Charleston, following
correspondence with parties here.
and now instead of there being only
ont plant, there is likelihood of two
plants being constructed and operat-
ed.
The close proximity Of Charleston
to the West Indies and the other ad-
vantages of the port have especially
commended Charleston to the sugar
manufacturing interests and seeming
ly insured the success of the venture.
1t is prepared to bring the raw sugar
into Charleston from the West Indies
and refine it here. 1t is understood
that the sugar people have figurtd out
that Charleston commands particu-
larly favorable advantages, not only
for the refining of the product but for
Its distribution through this section
or the country. The success of the
enterprise seems to be assured

No Drums In the Middle Aces.

AS we come to the middle ages.
when the nations Of modern Europe
were struggling into existence, we find
that at first the drum was not used
at all. So, although melody had been
known and practiced for many GEN.
turies. rhythm had been qnite forgot

the music Of the middle ages contains
no bars. and we know that it was
slowly and monotonously chanted,
without the least accent.
In the eleventh century, however.
things began to improve. more partic-
ularly as the crusaders brought into
Europe all sorts of percussion instru-
ments from the east. Various kinds Of
drums. tambourines and cymbals were
then seen in Europe for the first time
since the days Of savages. and they
have been used. with very little
change. ever since.-St. Nicholas.

OF the money distracted from the
railroad to Mrs. Ford and that the
last payment was made on October I.

dramatic sequel to the sensa-

handsomely furnished apartments of
Mrs. Stewart-Ford and placed her
under arrest. She was indignant, but,
after protesting, was removed to the

In April the Lapp let's his reindeer
loose to wander as they please, and
when the mosquitoes begin to abound,
about midsummer, he collects his herd
simply by catching one deer. fitting it

which leads the animals to gather into
herds for protection against the mos

mer, when mosquitoes are few, this
instinct does not come into play, and

A MANUFACTURED CLIMATE.
Methods Of the Paris Market Garden.
ers In Forcing Nature.


The gardeners Of Paris get their
products on the market weeks before
the regular season for them. This
forcing of nature is described by Err.
nest Poole in Success Magazine.
The secret is simply this: The French
maraichers have manufactured q cli-
mate to suit them. AS one observer
has said, '"rhey have moved the cli-
mate Of Monte Carlo up to the suburbs
of Paris"
Some new prodigy Of modern SCI
ence. this? Not at all. Only enor-
nous expense in money and in time.
The gardens, whenever possible. arc
placed on land with slope to tho
south and are well protected by walls
on the north and east. walls built to
reflect light as we'll as to give protec.
ton from the northeast winds.
The ground is practically covered
with glass, not as In q greenhouse, but
by glass frames in the open. "three
light" frames of uniform size, IL by
4h feet. and also by glass bells. These.
too. are Of uniform size. about the
shape Of chapel bell. little less
than seventeen inches in diameter and
from fourteen to fifteen inches high.
The French call them cloches. You
may often see over thousand frames
and over 10000 glass bells in one two
acre plot In the suburbs Of Paris.

The Experts Who Prospect and Dig
For Prehistoric Creatures.
Mammoth miners are experts who
know where to prospect for nam.
moths and how to dig them out, even
as the mining engineer knows where
to prospect for silver and how to ex.
tract It.
In the west, in Alaska and In Sibe.
ria mammoth miners are always at
work. They are always unearthing
creatures that died 100000 years ago.
Siberia was the mammoth's true
home. Siberia 100000 years ago was
one luxuriant forest. Here the fur
covered beasts, with their ten foot
trunks and their fifteen foot stature.
swarmed. Then an earthquake re-.
moved barrier range between ST..
IBERIA and the Arctic ocean, and those
low lying forests were inundated. All
their animal and vegetable life was
killed.
The first of the drowned Siberian
mammoths was found in 1899 by an
Eskimo villager on the banks of the
Lena. 1t was imbedded in a vast cake
of Ice. The villagers melted the ice,
they feasted on the 1OO.OOO-vear-old
flesh. and then they sold the tusks.
Only the bones remained when Zlo
tower OF the Petersburg Imperial mu.
seIm reached that outlandish village
after a journey Of 1900 miles. He
took the bones back to the museum,
whers you may see them mounted to-
day. He bought the tusks from the
ivory traders and fixed them on the
skeleton. and the book he wrote about
his find Is still text book among the
mammoth miners Of our day.
