FISHING TIME IN THE PASIG
Swimming In Myriads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by FiIIpln6s.

Friday morning Filipinos sharing
cells and other fish In the Pasig near
the old captain Of the port building by
the aid OF fish snares caught the
largest eel ever seen on the water
front. It was fully ten feet In length.
Both banks OF the Pasig and all the
ships and lighters moored in the
stream were thronged with hundreds
of Frlipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that In myri-
ads we're swimming near the surface
OF the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement TO the et-
feet that at this time Of the year the
bottom OF the river gets hot and that
the fish have to leave the depths OF
the stream and fash back and forth
on or near the surface.
Another theory that seemed TO have
a great many adherents was TO the ef-
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
of the water. this change acting on
the fish as a stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children Of Today Puzzle over Inem
Jus, as They Did a Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England. a thousand
years ago, school children pondered
over problems in sFithmfts much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book of that day:
The swallow once invited the snail
TO dinner. He lived Just one league
three English miles, from the spot.
and the snail travelled at the rate OF
only one inch a day. How long
would II be before he dined?"
An old man met a child. Good
day. my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived. and as
much more. and thrice as much as all
this: and IL God gives you one year
