U. S coDFIsHERs GO FAR
'zany Gloucester Ships Obliged to
Seek the Waters Off Western
Alaska.

Seattle, Wash.-Off the bleak shores
of western Alaska the world is now
drawing on it's last and greatest store
Of Goldfish. Branches of all the large
eastern codfishing packing plants are
now established on Puget sound. The
supplies come from the shores of Alas
ka, 1000 miles westward from the
Strait Of Juan de Fuca.
Over one hundred codfshing boats
are now on the fishing banks, each
manned with its complement Of dories,
men and appliances for cleaning and
sailing away the catch. OF these ships
some sixty once claimed Gloucester,
Mass, their home port.
For six months the codfshers will
work as long as there is light to haul
into their dor1es their daily catch. The
men are paid an average Of 10 cents
per fish, and a usual days work is
from $50 to $50 fish, weighing from
three to fifteen pounds. Each ship
carries eight dories, with five men to
dory.
Each morning the fish are piled up
on the deck Of the ship, where they
are cleaned and then sa1ted away in
the hold, one pound Of salt to four
pounds OF fish.
The men earn from $40 to $50 per
day. Prizes are given to the fisher
who makes the largest catch during a
season. Last season the champion
caught 1890 Goldfish. Anacortes,
Wash. in mid-Puget sound, Is the Pa
cific home OF the worlds largest cod
fishing fleet. The cod fshing pay roll
/ ia $1,000, 900 annually.

Iron Braces on Artificial Limb Attract
Electricity Which Badly Burns
Railway Signal Man.

Kansas City, Mo.-During q severe
thunderstorm G. Richards, fifty-eight
years old, 3O19 Durham avenue, a
signal man for the Kansas City Belt
Railway company, was struck by
lightning in his tower at Twenty
fourth and Penn streets. He Is In
the General hospital being treated for
serious burns.
Richards was at work at the time
the lightning struck the tower. The
bolt first struck the stove pipe that
extends through the roof of the signal
station and 1t followed the pipe to the
interior, where the lightning contin-
| ued its downward course with Rich
ards in its path.
'If Richards had not worn an arti-
fetal leg 7 don't believe the lightning
would have struck him." DR.. G. G.
Remley, a police ambulance surgeon,
said. Ills left leg is cut off below the
knee and his artificial leg has iron
braces which are held in place by a
belt that encircles his body. 1t is my
opinion that this metal attracted the
electricity to the man.
The effect of the lightning is shown
| IN burns over the lower portion Of
Richards abdomen and legs. The
| lightning followed the artificial left
leg from a point few inches below
| the knees. The limb was gplintered
and at the toe Of the shoe hole was
torn In the leather, giving appearance
of something having been thrust
| through from the inside. The pipe
