SIDE LIGHTS

Washington, Dec. 26.-The capitol
Of the United States is in receipt
of one of the most extraordinary re
quests received In many years. It
comes from an Ohio woman whose
name the Secretary of the Senate
has for obvious reasons, declined to
make public.
1t calls upon the Capitol of the
United States" to repair a piece of
paper. about two inches wide, evil
IDENTIFY torn from the end of q dollar
bill. The Secretary, who has fallen
heir to the missive. says he has hand
led many documents, delicate COM
mu1ications and all variety of re-
quests, but this one has his goat"
1t has been recommended that the
communication be referred to the
Senate Committee on Banking and
Currency, but the Secretary does not
look upon the suggestion favorably
and retains the letter.

Paris. Dec. 26.-F1shing b. tefe-
phone is the latest sport In France.
An inventor who has patented the
device had discovered that fish when
swimming produce certain sounds
that can be detected by telephone.
His apparatus consists OF a receiver
and a detonator, which are sunk In
the water and connected by wires to
a post of observation on the river
bank. When fish in any number pass
the receiver a sound is heard by the
watcher, who has only to press a
button to explode the detonator.
Fish killed by the detonator come
to the surface and are removed with
a net.

but il also shows his close touch with an
other phase of Maine life and character.
and is an intensely interesting portrayal
of life not hitherto exploited by the gifted
Maine author.
The setting is MIR. Days stronghoLd and
actually contains all the elements out OF
which the author has skilfuily woven his
web OF history with little golden thread
OF romance. 1t is not only readable but
clean, educational and inspiring-a book
to launch new principles in the young and
to arouse dormant ambitions in we'll
ripsned age. Truth, courage aud hope
alternate with greed, lawlessness and evil.
in the warp; while the shuttle carries
religion, politics and passionate good
and the bad OF all three.
"rhe Red Lane" is story worth while
to read aloud by the fireside in the family
group, for it contains an absorbing love
story garnished with historical fact and
moral inspiration. The author always
nnds quaint types and takes them along
with MN into the presence and acquaint-
ance of his readers.
