Women Fishermen.

On the coast of Holland, Belgium
and Northern France the fisherWo-
men are a familiar sight, with their
great hand nets and quaint costumes.
Many of the towns have distinctive
costumes by which their women can
be recognized anywhere. Those of
Mana-Kirke, near Ostend, wear
trousers and loose blouses while
their heads and shoulders are COW
cred by shawls. They carry their
nets into the sea and scoop up vast
quantities of shrimps and prawns,
with an occasional crab or lobster
and many small fish. They often
wade out till the water is up to their
necks, and they remain for hours at
a time in water above their knees,
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

The Suez Canal.

1t is certain that in ancient times
a canal connecting the Mediterra-
mean and Red seas did exist. Hero
dotus ascribes it's projection to
Pharoah Necho, 900 B. c.. The hon
or of its completion is given by some
to Darius, by others to the Ptolemys.
How long this canal continued to be
used We do not know; but, becom-
ing finally choked up by sand, it was
restored by Trajan early in the sec
ond century A. D. Becoming again
useless from the same cause, it was
reopened by the Caliph Omar, but
was finally closed by the "uncon-
querable sands" about A. D. 767, in
which state it has since remained.
This ancient canal, from Suez to
Bubastis, on the east branch of the
Nile, was ninety-two miles long,
from 108 to 100 feet wide, and if
teen feet deep.-Washingt Times.

A KINGS HOBBY.

The late king of Siam had an ex-
traordinary hobby-that of collecting
empty match boxes of all nations. II
las connection an interesting story
is related During one of his visit
to this country the king while pass
ing down Bond street one afternoon
accompanied by two members of his
suite espied an empty match boy
which had been discarded by it's own
er and thrown away into the middle
of the thoroughfare.
Without moments thought the
monarch dashed into the middle OF
the crowded traffic, grasped the
much coveted treasure and was near
ly run over by passing cab. ne
fact, however, that he was able to
add new specimen to his collection
gathered under such circumstances
mere than compensated him for
the risk which he had run.-Londor

TI1E<ELYER THAT NEVER HALTS
i-ut Keeps Going Steadily Without
I,odv ar Wings or Wheels.

Body OF Wings or Wheels.
1.-The only flying thing that new
er breaks down." said the man with
frost in his hair. sis the one COM
monty known as Time; nothing ever
the matter with that; it flies stead
lily with never stop. =
'Other flying things that we know
Of burst their carbureters, or bend
their shafts, or break their propel-
lers, or get out of gasolene, or they
bend their wings or blow up or burn,
or there's something the matter with
them so that they can't be kept fly
ing, but the flying thing called Time
keeps right along without requiring
even any oil ON its bearings, the one
and only perpetual motion, which
nothing can stop. It never speeds,
1t keeps going always at the same
steady uniform gait, whether on the
earth or in the air, but 1t never
stops, and so, soon or late, it leaves
men and all their works behind.
''I'd like it if could help the fly
ing machine men: would do it if !
could; but I'd like better to be able
to stop or at least to check or slow
down the flight o. that greatest of
all flying things, though it is without

Largest Oil Tanks.

Two concrete reservoirs for oil,
said to be the largest in the world,
are in the course of construction at
San Luis Obispo, Cal, each of which
will have capacity of 100000
barrels of oil. The reservoirs are to
cost 100000, and the oil to fill
them will be piped from the Bakers
field, Maricopa, Coalinga and Mid
way wells. When the tanks are
filled the oil in them will flow by
gravity to the pumping station at
San Luis Obispo, from thence will be
pumped directly to the tank steam
ers at Port Hartford.-Popular Me-
