Howe. Howe was successful trades
man in Jermyn street, and one morn

that he had business in the city. He
never came back, and after some years
an act of parliament was specially
passed to enable Mrs. Howe to admin
lister her husbands estate. Then one
evening in 1923 the widow" received
letter requesting an Interview. Mrs.

Curious Fish spearinc.

In spite of the march of civilization
there remains much that is still print
tive in Sicily, and curious sight at
Palermo is to see the fishermen spear
ing fish in the harbor by the aid Of
glass bottomed buckets, says the Wide
World Magazine There are many
corners of the world where fish are
speared. but perhaps the use of the
glass bottomed bucket in this connec-
ton is to be seen only at Palermo.
The fishermen lean far over the side
of their boats and hold the bucket on
the water with one hand, poking their
heads into it as if engaged in the Hal
loween game of ducking for, apples
They hold spear poised in the free
hand and thus await the arrival OF
their victims. who are sighted through
the glass bottom of the bucket, which
acts as kind of telescope.

directly on the canal route from Sche-

southeast of Cairo. The well itself is

Near by is "the CITADEL the second

bears signs of having ben bricked up.
Yet it is easy to see that Joseph's dis

as one might imagine, for this well,
like all the wells of Egypt, is of cir

today, and Joseph would have been
able to exercise his limbs with ease by
walking around it. Moreover, when
