THE PLACE..

The place, whose price has in
creased so enormously on account of
the restriction of the fishing area, is
re c@@:ef foo! fish 0! Great!. Britain.
Over G1,200,000 worth Of plaice are
landed here each year, and it is es-
ssntially the !. t9Fl 9f The fried 1 fish ;
shops of our own East end, some of
which have had to cease business
owing to the Billingsgate prices. The
East Ender prefers plaiee even to
more costly fishes, as was brought
out in evidence before parliament
tary commission, and sometimes even
halibut is made to masquerade as its
more plebeian relative. The tales of
dogfsh and sharks may be dismissed
as mainly fiction, and | offer no solu-
ton as to the mystery of the large
quantity of dogfsh landed annually
on these shores.-London Chronicle.

ANClENTS USED DIVING BELLS
Writings Of Aristotle Prove That They
Were in Use at Least az
Early as 1926 q. C.

That the diving bell has been in
use for many centuries is proved
by the fact that Aristotle makes ref
erence to the use of this device for
exploring ocean depths about 325
B. G. A diving bell was first used
in Europe in the sixteenth century
a. D. In 1862 one was used on the
Scotch coast in searching for the
wreck of a ship of the Spanish at
NADIA.
In 1716 HALEY made great i'm
provements in this machine and he
was the first to set foot on the bot
tom of the sea by means of a diving
bell. The talpa marina, or sea mole,
a diving machine to be used for lay
ing torpedoes and the like, being a
cylinder provided with compressed
air sufficient for two people for fifty
hours, was invented by Tosselli, a
Venetian, and was used in the Bay
of Naples in 1S71.-American Boy.

DEER SEES SUNDAY PARADE.

As persons in this town were on
their way to church full-grown
male deer walked in from the old
Pittsburgh and Philadelphia pike
road and slowly ambled down the
main street, taking no heed of the
group on each side of the street. 1t
walked about for time, perfectly at
ease, and stopped in side streets,
shifting about apparently for food.
No effort was made to disturb the
buck, and after church service it
was found standing directly across
from the entrance of a church, where
it boldly watched the congregation
as it left the building.
When but a few stragglers re-
manned it slowly trotted off in the
direction from which it had origi-
nally entered town. 1t is believed
to be one of a herd placed in small
forest near here by the state.-Ligo-
nier (Pa.) Dispatch to New York

ENGAGE IN SINGING "DUELs"
Intense Rivalry Among Gagged Chat.
finches Has Been Noted by
Lovers of the Birds.

It is well known that Gagged chat
tnches are celebrated for their ca
gerness to compete with one another
in singing. They deliver their
songs alternately until one is ex-
hausted and unable to take up his
turn. So excited do the birds be-
come that it occasionally happens
that one of the competitors drops
down dead, The originating and
directive causes of the particular
song Of different kinds of birds is
not understood. But it is estab-
lished that they have great gift
of imitation. Parrots, piping crows,
ravens and other such birds are IA
miliar instances, while little birds
such as bullfnches can be trained to
whistle the melodies which human
beings have invented. Even the
house sparrow, which, though allied
to singing finches, never sings when
in natural conditions, has been con-
verted into a songster by bringing
it up in company with piping bull
finches.

LIGHT ON PREHISTORIC MAN
Discoveries Made in New Mexico Arc
Of Great Interest TO the
Antiquarian.

Prehistoric man on this continent
stands revealed in a new light
through the discoveries made by an
expedition of the American Museum
of Natural History of this city,
headed by Nels c. Nelson, who has
returned from the Southwest. He
found in a refuse heap, near an an
cient pueblo community house near
Santa Fe, N. NJ, relics which evil
IDENTIFY date back from one to two
thousand years.
The strata show the rise and the
decline of the races of the South
west in the industrial arts, and espe-
cially in the making of pottery. The
old tribe of the Tanos, whose col
lapsed dwellings are at least two
thousand years old, lived in the re-
gions over which the expedition has
been carrying on its work. The ref
use heap has on its lower layers
broken pottery, implements of stone
and utensils of all kinds, which
show race emerging from savagery.
The vessels which Mr.. Nelson has
rescued from oblivion are mostly in
fragments and his will be the task
of piecing them together again.

The new company will be establish

With the organization of this COM

confronting the borough of Steelton

for years, that of providing fire pro-
lection for the Mohn street district,
will be solved.
Plans for organizing this COM
pany were formulated following
the disastrous blaze in Mohn street
last summer. in which one man was
burned to death and several dwellings
We're destroyed. The Steelton tiremen
had considerable trouble in lighting
this blaze and complained to council
and the Swatara commissioners about
the lack of proper facilities.
The organization of the Good VIII
Company was then suggested and met
with instant approval. The company
has purchased the old hose carriage

British Shells Fall Wide
By l4SSocfntcd Prcss

Dardanelles. Sunday. March :, via
Constantinople. March s, Berlin,
March 3, and London, March 13, 1925
a. m.-The fire to-day of the British
ships upon the Dardanelles forts was
scattered and virtually without effect.
From the point of vantage occupied by
the Associated Press correspondent on
shore, British shells could be seen fall
ing wide of the mark.
During the early afternoon of to-
day, March I, the Turkish fire forced
British battleship in the gulf of
Saros to retreat.
The bombardment to-day of the
Turkish positions on the straits led to
no more results than did the fire of
yesterday. At about twenty minutes
past nine in the morning four British
vessels of the re-dreadnought type
had taken up positions at a point off
Dardanelles, on the Asiatic side. Their
fire, observed from shore, was very
scattered and as usual in the last three
days it was without effect.
