FISHING WITH A STEAM PUMP
Each Stroke Of Piston Brought Up
Torrents Of Water In Which
Were Fish and CrawfIsh.

One Of the most singular fishing de-
vices imaginable was discovered by
accident In France. Though extreme
ly simple, the system is revolutionary.
says the Scientific American
A pond on the farm Of La Marie
quette, bordered by rocky shores. was
drained one year by the aid of a
steam pump. Each stroke Of the PTS
ton drew up rs gallons Of water, and
the pond was emptied in a few hours.
and not only was the water drawn on.
but all the fishes also were transferred
to new element
This was a revolution. The owners
of ponds In the neighborhood followed
suit, and the proprietor of the pump
made a specially of this sort OF work.
He "let" one of his pumps. modified
for the purpose. The peasants Of the
region called it the fish pump" Each
stroke Of the piston brought up tor
rents of water, In which were fish and
crawflsh, together with mud and de-
bris.
One pond of several acres was
cleared OF fish at an expense of about
$3.50. The process was ingenious, but
as one cannot have his fish and eat
it, too, and as such rapid consumption
would have led to equally rapid ex'
termination, the authorities stopped
the practice.

CIVIC LEAGUE

Last week Just before going to
press we were banded an article for
publication by member of the Civic
League in which they appealed to
other ladies OF the city to join their
league and help to beautiy the city.
As part of our paper had already
gone to press we could not add our
"Amen" to their statements, but we
are heartily in accord with them in
all their efforts which tee to i'm
prove our city; not that we are in
such a deplorable condition at
present. but while we now have the
reputation of having the cleanest
little city in sou heastern Kentucky
let us not grow lax in keeping it
such.
The clean and attractive appear
ance of our Public Square is some
thing that is appreciated by every
citizen Of Barhourville, and the re-
sponsibility ofkeepingit such should
not fall upon two or three of the
ladies of the city but such move
should be joined into by every one.

Letter Stamping Box.

letter stamping machine, which,
when coin or coins are dropped in
the slot, will automatically af1x a
stamp in an envelope. The upper sec
ton of the box has a coin slot at the
top and in a lower corner, back Of a
little window, a roll Of stamps. A
slot at one end admits the letter and
the window allows the user to see
that the corner Of the envelope Is ex-
actly in front OF the roll Of stamps.
A coin is inserted and the plunger at
the top of the box pushed down. This
presses the end stamp against a mois-
tener; and from there on to the enve-
lope, which is then withdrawn and
dropped into the lower compartment
for collection.

Since the time OF Aristotle people
