FISH INTOXICATED ON BEER
Brewery Output Emptied Into Stream
Causes Chaos Among Pts
catorlal Tribe.

Mendoza, Hl.-There will be no more
fishing in. the Mendoza creek for
months to come. It is improbable that
the fish will be able to see the bait
for several weeks. The banks recent
ly were lined with hundreds of dead
fish and the creek was full of others
dead drunk.
Because Of failure to pay the gov
eminent tax the Mendoza brewery was
closed and 1881 barrels of beer were
emptied into the creek.
An hour later a conglomeration of
queer sounds, arose from the creek,
from the mewing of cat fish to the
deep bass of the bass. Several tur-
ties were seen disporting themselves
absurdly on a log and three bullfrogs
staggered arm In arm down Main
street, until taken into custody by a
policeman. They couldn't hop, despite
the fact that they were full Of them.
Many of the fish imbibed too freely
and climbed out on shore, where they
were fatally FRUSTRATED by the heat.
Those who survived followed the beer
down stream In large schools.

When the new minister made his

little girl refused to kiss or be kissed.
She squirmed loose and ran into the
next room, where her mother was put
ting a few finishing touches to her
adornment before going into the draw
ing room to greet the clergyman.
Mamma" the little girl whispered,
the man in the drawing room wanted
me to kiss him"
Well" replied mamma, why didn't
you let him? l would if l was you"
Thereupon Anna ran back into the
drawing room, and the minister asked:
We'll, little lady. won't you kiss me
now?"

Some of Continents Attitudes.

The maximum difference in eleva-
ton of land in the United States Is
14,777 feet, according to the United
States geological survey. Mount
Whitney, the highest point, is 1851
feet above sea level, and a point in
Death Valley is 276 feet below sea
level. These two points, which are
both in California, are less than nine
ty miles apart. This difference Is
small. however, as compared with the
figures for Asia. Mount Everest
rises $4,000 feet above sea level,
whereas the shores Of the Dead sea
are 1920 feet below sea level, a total
difference in land heights of 30,292
feet. Mount Everest has never been
climbed. The greatest ocean depth
yet found is 32,088 feet, at a point
about fifty miles north Of the Island
of Mindanao, in the Philippine islands.
The ocean bottom at this point is
therefore more than eleven and a
half miles below the summit of Mount
Everest.

SAW COMING STAR IN cALVE
Al Hayman First to Recognize Sing
er's Great Powers, and Henry E.
Abbey Did the Rest.

Several years ago Al Hayman, who
was in London, met the late Henry
E. Abbey. who was then our greatest
impressairo. Mr.. Abbey was present
ing opera at the Metropolitan and was
searching Europe for new singers. AS
they sat over their coffee after a com
Portable dinner in their club Mr.. Hay
man described the trip he had just
taken through provincial France.
And, by the way" said he, Il heard
a most remarkable young woman sing
Carmen at some little ou~t-of-the-way
place"
Searching through his pockets he
finally came upon her nam in his
note book and gave it to Abbey, who
seized his hat and called a cab.
Where r you going?" said Hayman.
I'm going to Paris Immediately and
find where she is and go to hear her."
replied the impulsive Abbey. He
found her in a dingy little opera house
in a small provincial town and heard
her sing Carmen. That night he had
her signature to a contract, and that
is how New York came to hear and
acclaim the great Calve before ever
Paris had heard of her.

"All the buildings, with the excep-
ton of the mosques and the towers,
are built of clay, and the method of
the builders is simplicity itself. A
wooden framework is put up, and in
the spaces between the wooden
boards are pressed sun dried balls of
mud. Then over all comes more mud,
and in a very short time a house is
built and ready for occupation
Miss Christie was fortunate enough
to see the emir going to mosque and
she also photographed him, which is
considered something of a feat, for

many mosques he intends to enter. 1t

Appliances for Measuring Time.

Mechanical appliances for measur-
Ing time were in use from the earliest
ages and clocks of one kind or an
other were made in Europe before the
discovery of America. Brass wheel
clocks with weights, standing six
feet high, such as are now called
grandfather clocks, were common in
England and Germany long before the
revolutionary a The first clockma-
ker in the United States was Eli Ter
ry, who made his first clock with
wooden wheels in 1892, and afterward
made a great many, and they were
good timekeepers. In 1907 he con
tracted to deliver 1000 wooden wheel
movements to a certain firm, and it
took him three years to fill the order.
Seth Thomas, once a well known Yam
kee clockmaker, learned his trade
with Eli Terry, Brass wheel clocks
were first made in the United States
in 1887.

larger, forming a scale or scab with a
