A UNIQUE NEW ENGLAND JOB.
ScOOping "Bony Fish" Out of Water
With Steam Shovel.


In the New England states, where
the number of workers usually far
exceeds the demand for their ser
vices, necessity compels men to re-
sort to unusual methods of earning
money. Yankee ingenuity is gener-
ally equal to almost any emergency,
and that is what led a Connecticut
man to discover that supposedly
worthless fish, which is common in
Long Island Sound, is valuable for
use as a fertilizer. The oil obtained
also has a commercial value.
The fish closely resembles black
bass in appearance, but is unfit for
eating, owing to the number of bones
it possesses. That is why it is call
ed "bony fish," and hundreds of tons
of these salt water fish are caught
and sold every season, furnishing
employment to many persons. The
best fishing grounds are at New Eng
land, Conn, the beautiful seaside
resort recently opened by the Grand
Trunk railway, and it is an inter
esting sight for persons from all
parts of the country to watch the
steam shovel fish scoop the fish out
OF the water by the thousands.

Ate Raw TRIBE and Died.

Seven negro children in Thomas
county ate some raw tripe and they
all became very sick. Four of the
negroes have died and the others
are in bad shape. Several physicians
have made examinations of the cases,
and all agree that the raw tripe was
responsible for the poisoning. All
the negroes were under eight years
of age and sisters. The doctors are
not certain the remaining three will
get well.

INAUGURATION or IRON AGE
Authorities Differ as to the Time and
Place of Its First introduction
to the World.

Some authorities incline to the
view that the iron age was inaugur-
ated in Asia or in Africa. The hives
legations OF recent years have pointed
to the conclusion that 1t was not
worked in Egypt until the ninth cen
fury before Christ, or in Iibya until
450 b. c.; that the Semitic adopted its
use still later, and that it has been
known in Uganda only within tho
last five or six centuries. There are
Chinese records Of dato about four
centuries before Christ that mention
iron. Bronze weapons were employed
in China until about 700 A. d.
It is thought that the metallurgy of
iron must have originated in Central
Europe, especially in Noiieum, which
approximately represented modern
Austria and Bavaria. Only at Hall
stett and In Bosnia and Pennsylvania,
from which countries the Achaians
and Dorians are supposed to have MI
grated to Hellas, are found evidences
of gradual introduction of iron, at
first as an ornament applied to the
bronze which 1t ultimately replaced.
Everywhere else iron was introduced
in no gradual fashion, fact that
implies foreign origin
Meteoric iron was known in Egypt
In remote antiquity, but no doubt it
was worked as fiints are worked, by
cutting or chipping, and was not
smeltcd. In other wor}s, 1t was the
motallulT, not the knowledge Of iron.

Concerning the Mole.

have been collected,
Under the edilice which the mole

The Time to Stop Your

If every one who had property to

Washington. July 19.-Representa-

of rule in the house which will
place his farm extension bill on the

tial place on the house calendar.
If this bill passes, and there i, lit
tie doubt now that it will, the agri-

be much benefited. AS the name inn
plies, it is an extension measure intro
duced to increase the usefulness of
agricultural colleges by giving them
a more liberal allowance of govern
ment funds along the lines of the
Hatch and Morrill, funds. Mr.. Lever
said today that he was well pleased
that he secured the adoption of this
rule and that he felt satisfied the bill
would pass very soon.
