FISHING WITH STEAM PUMP.
Practice Which French Authorities
Had to Stop.

One of the most singular fishing
devices imaginable was discovered by
accident in France. Though extremely
simple, the system is revolutionary.
A pond on the farm OF La Marie
quette, bordered on rocky shores. was
drained one year by the aid OF u.
steam pump. Each stroke of tina
piston drew up twenty-five gallons OF
water and the pond was emptied in 50
few hours, and not only was the wa
ter drawn off, but all the fishes also
were transferred to new element.
This was a revolution. The owners

ants of the region called 1t the Dish

brought up torrents of water, in which
were fish and crawfish, together With
mud and debris.
One pond of several acres was
cleared of fish at an expense OF So
francs, or $3.50. The process was in

4se BRITISH.
Words of Capt Smith That Gained
Officers and Crew.

New York, April 1a-But for the
unparalleled self sacrifice and heroism
of Captain Smith and the THAMES of
ficers, the sea would have claimed an
even greater toll when the gigantic
ship went down. From the bridge
Captain Smith called through his
megaphone. BE British and that be-
came the rallying cry of officers and
crew.
Such was the graphic description of
the conduct of men responsible for the
saving Of human souls on the smitten
Titanic as told. today. by John John
son, a member of the crew. who took
an oar in a lifeboat. He gave his ver-
sion Of how the ship struck the lee
berg and went down; how officers and
male passengers stood unafraid on the
deck awaiting the inevitable hour.
how the lifeboats were lowered. and
how husbands and wives said their
last farewells.
When the crash came" he said,
THE Titanic was going s23 knots an
hour She ripped herself clear apart
There was no panic. 1t was very quiet
When the boats were lowered there
were many who refused To go. One
of the most pathetic scenes was the
refusal of Mrs. Isidor Straus to leave
her husband She remained With him
To the last. When the first signal was
given TO lower the boats, some of tbs
crew pressed forward. 1t was thef
that the rallying cry came through the
megaphone from the bridge, Be Brit

voice. Every man obeyed the com
mand and faced death calmly. They
knew there was no hope, and as the
big strong English seamen assisted
the women and children into the boats,
they gave no sign that they realized
that Captain Smiths words Be Brit
ish' had sealed their fate. They re-
| manned at their posts and died like
men"
When J. Bruce 1smay. managing d.
rector of the International Mercantile
Marine Co. stepped into the last life
boat, Johnson said. there was no wo-
men left on the deck. He was forced
into the boat by officers of the ship
and this was done. Johnson said, just
as the boat was being lowered.

NO SPECIAL MESSAGE.
President Believes Congress Needs No
Suggestions on Steamship Legislation.

washington, April 19-President
Taft will not send special message
to Congress urging legislation to
strengthen the present laws regulat--
ing supervision of steamships clearing
from American ports.
The President believes Congress
needs no such suggestion, since the
Titanic disaster.
Moreover, he is satisfied that the
existing laws of the United States
are, adequate if enforced as the COM
meree and labor department would
be able to enforce them with the re-
strietions of present international
agreements removed.
Under agreement with Great Brit
ain, the certificate of the Titanic that
she had met with the requirements OF
the British Board of Trade as to life
saving equipment would have been
accepted in New York, and the Ii
tanic would have been allowed to
clear again fer England.
The disaster however, will un-
doubtedly bring about new agree
ment between the United States and
Great Britain and with other nations
in the same class, in the opinion of
officials here.
The regulation of the United States
rs applied to vessels that sail under
the American flag or under the flags
of nations not in the agreement. are
strict enough to compel the carrying
of life saving equipment sufficient TO
take care of every passenger and
every member of the crew.
An act of Congress multiplying the
existing agreement would make it inn
possible for officials of the department
of commerce and labor to accept a
certificate from any Board of Trade
or similar organization unless the re-
quirements of this country were met
AS well. Such action by Congress was
regarded as probable here, today.

seemed to few who read his article
that all the joy of the story had gone
if Turpin never actually rode Black
Bess, over hill and dale, from London
to York, in a single night. Still time,
which softens so many things. has sunk
that article in oblivion. and Dick. Tur-
pin once more rides his triumphant
way undisturbed.

other matter Here it stands at the
mercy of the matter of fact, something

capes the adversary and destroyer. ant
gets clean away mounted only on tina
wings of fancy. The pity of 1t Is that
it seems sabnndantly clear that Miles
Standlsh never sat in the pew at Choir
ley any more than Dick Turpin ever
rode to York; and that we ere de-
prived of a stage setting for tina
dreams which throng the old church
at Ghorley, as completely as for those
which haunt the road to York.
The old Jacobean pew is a perfect ex-
ample of its period, and must be filed
with legitimate histories every BIT as
| romantic as that of Captain Miles. it
we only knew them; and, perhaps. aft
er all, the weavers of fancies who
strive to throw an unreal glamour OF
| romance over place that has a right
| only to its own past. are all the better
| for the heavy hand of the destroyer OF

dreams of Miles Standish, Dick Turpin
and others. they must be placed be-
ynnd the reach of the iconoclast safe
