of Saturn the comet should be found,

FISHING TIME IN THE PAslG
Swimming In Myrfads Near Surface
They Are Shared and speared
by Filipinos.

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 Ftlipinos with snares and spears
trying to catch the fish that in myri-
ads were swimming near the surface
of the stream.
Natives when asked in regard to
the phenomenon were almost unani-
mously in their statement to the eff
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 eff
feet that at this time every year
there was a change in the character
Of the water, this change acting on
the fish as stimulant.
This theory was advanced by an old
pilot who has witnessed the phenome-
non for many years.-Manila Times.

FLYING Versus FLIES.
Morrison is an iconoclast.


"All this hysteria over flying ma
chimes makes me tired" he said. Il
wish the newspapers and the maya
zines would can such stuff. What use
Is flying? What use is the mile-a-
minute train or the fVe-day boat? We
have a fit every time a freak liner
takes a few minutes off the r~ean
record, or some fool railroad puts on
q train to clip the time to Chicago by
an hour, and now the biggest hero is
the man who goes highest in the air
or who skins through the air the long
est distance.
IF this sort OF thing does anything
2or the welfare of mankind I have not
all my buttons 1t is nothing but
mania-speed mania A thousand
thousand times greater benefactor to
the human race than the Wrights and
the Bleriots and all such persons will
be the man who does away with the
mosquito, or the fly. More persons
are killed by flies than fall from aero
planes. are drowned at sea or are kill
ed in railroad wrecks, and what the
mosquito means in human sacrifice is
enough to stagger belief If the world
ever gets its proper bearings we are
likely to have less flying and less
flies, fewer Mauretanias and fewer
mosquitoes, but I'm afraid that time is
"a long way off.

TaIkInq to the Child.

Mrs. x talks to little Madge
just as Mr., x talks to their dog"
said a little girl of a neighboring fam
lily. And 1t was indeed true. Mrs.
x is very well-meaning woman
and would be greatly surprised If she
should hear the foregoing statement
She has simply unconsciously acquired
a harsh tone of voice in dealing with
her children. This Is altogether I'M
necessary and is not. as many moth
ers seem to think, a mark of good dis
cipline The mother whose manner Is
quiet but firm Is generally much
more successful disciplinarian than
the harsh-Voiced mother who issues
her commands in dictatoriaI manner.
Kindness never spoils children. It is
fabby indecision, sometimes mistaken
for kindness, which spoi1s them.

When the Fish Exploded.

Somebody discovered that fish are
fond of gasoline, and this led to the
idea of soaking worms in gasoline in
order to make them more a1lur1ng
when used for bait.
Mark the result.
Two of those gasoline-tempted fish
exploded in the frying-pan, and broke
the kitchen window, and blew the
cooks face full Of mashed potato, and
hurled the teakettle into the flour
barrel, and painted the kitchen ceiling
with stewed tomatoes.

GlobuIar LIGHTNING.

Yesterday the inhabitants of Lewis

of that curious phenomenon known as
"globular lightning" 1t is what is
commonly called the fire ball." and
as 1t persists for several seconds it is
obviously of a totally different char
acter from any other form of light
ming. 1t Is much less brilliant than
ordinary lightning, and its brightness
appears to be that of iron at the red
hot" stage.
It is not, as some accounts might
lead one to infer, solid missile, but
1t is always spherical and appears to
fall from a thunder cloud by its own
gravity, sometimes rebounding after
striking the ground-London Globe.

All Of us become confused and all Of

the preparation of an old negro

had reached his "Twenty-third and

following elaborate figure:
