territory by troops of the belligerents,

warning powers should be sent across
the Porentruy salient. He replied:
THE federal council would never
tolerate such a proceeding. General
Ulrich, the ommander-in-chief of
our army, would order the-lmmediate
of all our forces which
would Immediately be sent into action.

per cent were being made there in

Millions for Jack Tars.

A vast sum Of money-it will run into
millions of pounds before the war Ia over
is steadily accommodating for distribution
among the officers and men OF the royai
navy when peace comesA
The money represents the value Of en-
emy warships sunk or captured In battle
and trading vessels and their carEoes
captured at sea and subsequently "con-
demned" by q prize court, less O small
percentage taken by the government
The money is known. respectively, as
bounty money and prize money.
Bounty money is awarded in connection
with the sinking or capturing of enemy
warships, aid is paid to the men of the
ship or ships actually responsible for the
feat Bounty money is generally paid on
a basis of SO much for every man in the
sunk or captured vessel, the money being
awarded in a descending scale according
to rank and seniority, the commander, of
course, getting the lions share.
Where a difficulty arises in deciding
how many men were aboard an enemy
ship, or-as might easily happen in argen-
eral engagement-what ship could .claim
the credit OF having sunk a particular
enemy vessel, the matter has to be
thrashed out in a prize court. The whole
Of the prize money awarded In connec-
ton with the capture Of an enemy trad
ing vessel as distinct from warship Is
not, however. given to the ship responsi-
bic for the capture. In former wars Il
has been the practice to reward the cap
tors only, but IL will easily be seen how
unfair system this Is. and now the
money Is pooled among all the ships of
the navy.
How prize money mounts up was strik-
ingiy Illustrated by the sale Of five cap
tured German trading vessels at the Bal
tic Exchange, London. some time ago.

Fishermen Fear Monster Eel.

Fishermen not only hate the monster
Muraena-they fear him. He robs the
sea of shellfsh and other Inhabitants that
the fishermen want him to leave for
their nets. In addition, he isn't backward
about attacking a fisherman now and
then. This bold outlaw received its name
from the Romans.
The muraena Is a deep-sea eel. His
weapons Of attack are two rows Of SHARP
teeth, strong enough to crush the hard
shelled fish on which he feeds. They
range In size from snake-like creatures
about q foot long, in the Mediterranean,
to monsters six and eight feet long
These giants the fisherman fears, for
they viii attack him either In or out of
the water. Their bodies are spotted or
decorated In varied colors.
For the most part these eels inhabit
seas In the tropic or temperate zones, but
a few will ascend rivers where there are
tides.-Philadelphia North American.
