sence of six years, Edward e. Pratt,
about forty years old. entered one OF

declared that he had returned to end
his days at the institution.

not to leave the asylum. The police
were summoned and the patrol wagon
of precinct No. II carried him to the
Washington Asylum Hospital for obser-
walton as to his mental state. Police
man Louis Gee. could extract no infor-
nation from Pratt about himself.
The statement was made, however,

policeman reached the asylum he was

ious to remain.

Cod Industry is Growins.-The cod
is probably the most prolific Of all sea
fish, though its habitat does not extend
over as large an area as other species,
says the Wide World. The cod Is only
found in northern waters, and will live
and thrive only in certain tempera-
lures. Some day, owing to the Won
derful asset which Newfoundland pos
sesses in her cod fishery, she is destin-
ed to be the great fish depot Of the
world. It is not alone on the great
banks" many miles off her coasts, that
cod are found in countless millions, but
around the island-on the 'ledges"
and grounds" off the capes and pro-
montories that jut into the Atlantic, as
we'll as on the Labrador coast, for
stretch Of 1000 miles. In these regions
you require no hatcheries to aid the
wonderful fecundity of nature; indeed,
1t is doubtful II you require any laws or
regulations to protect these fisheries
unless 1t be in the shoal waters of
the bay.
Notwithstanding that for 300 years
the fisheries of these waters have been
prosecuted by rival fishermen Of two
hemispheres, the largest catch Of cod
ever taken on the Newfoundland and
Labrador coasts that was secured in
1909. the yield being estimated in
weight at 100000 quintals, or 01,0O0,-
900 pounds; to which may be added
100000 quintals-the quantity locally
consumed in Newfoundland during and
after the fishing season. The value of
the fish alone, without any regard to
the by-products-oil, roes, skin, offal,
etc.-is $10,000,000.

In the presence Of a woman OF noble
birth men cover their faces and heads
altogether. The women give the chill

The stick he carries and the great
wooden box into which he puts what

coming More Popular.
The motorcycle Is the younger
brother to the automobile and is
growing in popularity. Within the
last twelve months greater progress
has been made in motorcycle con-
struction than in any previous year
Of its history.
In the days of the bicycle CEN
tury run was considered a fine test of
physical endurance. To cover the
hundred miles the bicycler bent low
over the handlebars and peddled in
cessantly up hill and down dale. His
eyes were blind to all beauties Of land
scape that the winding road unfold
ed. Only when he coasted down the
slope that he had surmounted did he
have a chance to straighten his back
and look about him.
The motorcycler sits erect. A hun
dred miles on his swift wheel leaves
him less tired than ten miles pump
ing at the pedals used to. On the mo-
torcycle the days ride is one long
coast. A run of a hundred miles
costs only a few cents and brings a
fortune In the way Of enjoyment.
