LIVE ON FISH THEY CATCH
Remarkable Breed Of Banker Ponies"
Natives Of the Coast Of
North Carolina.

On the coast OF North Carolina there
are several miles OF low, sandy shore
where nothing grows except a coarse
grass. a few salt water weeds and Wild
parsley. On these banks lives a strange
breed OF half.wild horses known as
banker ponies" These creatures are
generally about twice the size OF Shot

and catch some OF the older animals
to sell to the dealers.
North Carolinians say that the beasts
must be starved into eating grain, hay
or grass. for they have always lived
on the rank salt marsh grass OF the
marshes and on Ash. They catch the
FISH for themselves at low tide; with
their hoofs they dig deep holes in the
sand below high.water mark. and when
the tide falls they greedily deyour the
fish that are stranded in these holes.
Often they fght brisky over an espe'

NEWSPAPERS AND THE BIBLE


When some OF our editorial friends
around the country were cunning for
US. they spoke scornfully because the
editor OF this erudite weekly said you
arc a man who do" instead OF "A man
who does" we came back at them with
quotations from Carlyle, Longfellow
and Macaulay. As some have not been
satisfied with these writer's, we now
offer them II Chronicles, 20;7:
Art thou not our God. who didst
drive out the inhabitants Of this land
before thy people Israel, and gavest II
to the seed OF Abraham thy friend for
eyer?"
Probably most OF them will admit
that the King James version OF the

p,u.r Saws to Cut Wood.

Circular saws made OF paper, for
use in making veneer and fine fur
niture, are being turned out in a fac
tory in England. Thin plates OF wood
cut by these saws are 80 finely I'm
ished that cabinet makers do not
have to plane them at all before they
are used
Such saws were originally shown
at an English exposition and were
driven by an electric motor. They
arc manufactured from compressed
drawing paper. Indeed. compressed
drawing paper OF such hardness has
been made In England that II has
even been ueed in place OF building
stone
Experiments in the manufacture OF
car wheels from compressed paper
have been made in America for a
number OF years, but the product has
never competed seriously with the
ordinary steel wheels. II is only in
the production OF certain articles. as
the veneer saw. that any advantage
is found.

Portuguese oysters, which. accord

oysters some time ago supplanted the
native oysters In the region OF Area

the danger was limited. as It was be-
lieved the southern gryphaea could
