FISHING WITH A STEAM PUMP
Each Stroke Of Piston Brought Up
Torrents Of W-ter 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 25 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 ueighborhood followed
suit, and the proprietor OF the pump
made a speciality 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 W tor
rents OF water, in which we're fish and
crawfish. together with mud and de.
bris.
One pond Of several acres was
cleared OF fish at an expense of about
1920. The process was Ingenious, but
as one cannot have his ash and eat
IL, too, and as such rapid consumption
would have led to equally rapid ex
termination, the authorities stopped
the practice.

which is wound about She edge with
folds of maline and adorned at the

folds that surround the hat are held at
two points by big rings Of rhinestones.

frozen to a solid block the skin is
sawed of with a circular saw. Il can
be further utilized for the manufac.
ture OF leather. The surface OF the
Ice block is allowed to melt down a
small distance so as TO bring out the
ends OF the hairs. and then a number
OF layers Of rubber solution are aD-
piled. After this has set the ice
block is melted on, leaving the hair
firmly rooted In the rubber. The re.
suit perfectly resembles natural fur.

Wherever the Romans lived in the
days Of the empire they carried luxury
and art They occupied for centuries
a large part of the northern coast of
Africa. II is not surprising therefore
TO learn by a dispatch from Tripoi
that a body of Italian troops digging
trenches near the Oasis OF Sciara, on
the spot formerly occupied by Roman
imperial gardens, has unearthed an
ancient Greek Venus of remarkable
beauty. The head and arms are miss
ing, but the torso is in excellent
preservation and reminds beholders Of
the famous Capitoline Venus. The
statue has been sent to Rome, where
1t will be placed in the National
museum. In nearly every spot where
soldiers have tapped the ground to
throw up defensive works they have
uncovered traces OF the ancient Ro-
man occupation of Tripoli, including
tOmbs, mosaics and ruins of splendid

NOVELTY FOR DINNER TABLE
oulnt Ornamentatlon Charming In its
simplIcity--Flowers Appear
With the Dessert.

A we'll known hostess the other
night placed a number Of rare Ores
den china birds about her table, and
very quaint and pretty they looked,
affording her guests no little amuse-
ment. Not a flower was visible until
dessert, when the finger glasses we've
brought in. Each finger glass was
trimmed with a single row, around
the edge, of flowers and the flowers
were different in each case-yellow
jonquils in one finger glass, pink car
nations in a second, gardenias in a
third, violets in a fourth, snowdrops
in fifth and so on.
It is now the mode by the way, not
to set a handful of flowers in any
vase or bowl, or otherwise to fill one
up. The most popular arrangement is
to put flowers in singly all around the
edge of the vase or bowl.

FIGHTING MACHINES.

Il ia a half century since Ericsson's
Monitor was launched. We have just
passed the anniversary OF that event.
II was an evolution in the art OF naval
armament which at the time seemed
to promise a permanent change In
theory and practice. What the
Monitor did for Us in the crisis which
II was designed 10 meet Is matter OF
history. says the Boston Post. That
low-lying, vicious craft was perhaps
the salvation OF our navy. But what
change in the years that have since
elapsed! The Monitor type has gone
10 the scrap heap, and the massive.
towering. stupendous dreadnought has
taken its place. Torpedoboats have
come in, followed by torpedo de-
stroyers. And the range Of naval op
eration1 has been extended. Every
maritime nation has equipped itself
with submarines, and the very latest
is a submarine that can fight above
the water and descend with safety
after delivering the fire Of its battery.

In the air the power Of destruction is

hshment Of universal peace as an in

Heating and Cooling House.

BY the use of a Swiss invention
which has been recently exploited,
the system made use of in winter
for heating a house by hot water
may be utilized in the summer
months for cooling the interior. The
piping is used just as it stands, but
the boiler is cut out and its place
taken by an apparatus which COM
prises the essential part of the inven-
don, called "frigator." The water
which circulates in the pipes in the
winter months is displaced with
brine for cooling, which is main
tanned in motion by small pump.
The device has been given a practical
test and found to be quite successful.
