Chestnut Dealers Under Scrutiny OF

The seaIer of weights and measures is

the measures are apparently about the

Inspectors visited i number of shops

frauding customers by the use of the

PLENTY OF Cash IN
ALL EASTERN BANKS
CASH SURPLUS IS SWELLING
TO ENORMOUS PROPOR-
TIONS IN BANKS.

Washington, April 25.-Bankers re-
ports from all sections indicate an
enormous piling up OF cash. Reserve
and central reserve cities especially
teport large holdings Two conclu
sions are drawn from this condition
BY the treasury. One is that a slack
ening condition of business, ascribed
70 many different causes, is driving
the money into the banks
The other is that the banks are be-
ginning early to prepare for late sum-
mer and autumn business from the
interior. A conservative loan policy
rs reported in all sections. in view OF
the fact that the federal treasury
gives no promise OF the aid in the
way OF public deposits in the crop
moving season.
Treasury officials predict the next
call on national banks will show a
continued close handed policy or
commitment and corresponding gains
n cash.

CAPTURING THE sW0RDFIsH
Most Peculiar Occupation Followed
by Fishermen in the Straits
Of Messina.

In the straits of Messina during
July and August there is most Pc
culiar occupation followed by the fish
ermen, this being the capture of the
swordfish. This creature, the Xiphias
gladius, varies from 6 to IA feet in
length and in weight from 100 to 900
pounds. The long bone which gives
1t its name projects like broad two
edged sword yard or more from the
upper jaw. The chase is conducted
thuswise:
A number of large barks take up
their positions. at regular distances
along the shore, each with very tall
mast, at the head of which a man is
stationed to look out for the fish He
observes it at considerable distance,
for 1t often shows its dorsal fin above
water and 1t generally swims near
the surface.
When he gives the signal a light
attendant boat called 'luntra,"
starts in pursuit and, guided by the
calls of the lookout man, soon comes
up with the fish, when the harpooner
in the bow throws his weapon with
almost merring aim. To the head of
the instrument is attached a long
line, by which the animal is gradually
Wearled out. Sometimes, however,
sWordfish turns upon its pursuers and
even pierces the boat with it's sword,
to the imminent peril of the boatmen.
The meat of this fish is somewhat
like veal and is much relshed by the
S1cilians, who esteem it above all the
finny tribes of their seas.
