fatal spot was missed by q few inches However. the force of the blow. which was delivered with both hands without releasing the handle, was so great. that il depressed the ereature's head, and the head-on collision did not crash in the side of the boat as it probably would have done otherwise. The top of the head struck the bottom of the boat, breaking the lance handle short off against the side, and was con fronted with q very serious defect in my equipment. l had acquired, by years of work with the lance, such confidence in my ability To place it where l desired that had not thought it necessary to provide more than one spade lance; but now my fish was very much alive and fighting mad and was without q spade lance.
 The water was so thick that the Manta could not be seen until very near the surface, but Charlie kept the slack of his harpoen hauled in and the line showed the direction h which the fish WAS travelling under water. Cap tain Jack steered the boat, which was kept running, and that it was well handled is shown by the fact that not once in more than Ii dozen rushes did the devilfish reach the surface without finding our boat on her back Each time l drove the lance through her heart or brain one or more times. and after the fight she showed 23 such wounds.
 Through all this fight there was one uncertain and disturbing factor that we were not in a position to guard against-namely, that the great male mate of the wounded Manta kept near us until the fight was over and three times nearly capsized us by pushing the boat from the back of the female. Once, just after We had been nearly capsized by q heavy blow from the head of the male and when the female was fighting most violently, when we were all covered with the blood of our victim and the boat was almost filled with water, the youngest member of the crew Uuther Dixon), thinking that the end for all of us was near, tried to force harpoon into my hand as he screamed Iron the big bull and let's all go to h in tow of team of devils '" l quote this to show the tenn per of the men. for while Luther. and probably others of the crew, thought this our last fight, neither he nor any other man showed even trace of fear. Then the dying Manta raised her head against the side of the boat and gave d loud harsh bark or cough, and as I ex- claimed, Watch her eyes looking two ways at oncei", the stricken creature slowly rolled one of her eyes, unth with that one only, she seemed to look at all of us behind her in the boat.
 Before striking the Manta 1 had looked at my watch and called out the time. and as the big fish died. 1 again pulled it out and asked, How long?' Not one of the crew placed the time of the fight at less than two hours and when 1 told them that it had taken on ly % minutes, they wanted to see if the watch had not stopped. The fight was now over, the great female Manta that we had come for was dead; but there was still man-sized job in front Of us and We at once made the fish fast 10 our stern and headed for Blind l Pass. more than q mile away.

peeially for vegetables is the French dressing and the mayonnaise These are both made with oil as the chief ingredient
 To make French dressing, which is the simplest form of salad dressing, have the mixing bowl cold as well as the oil mix the condiments. using half teaspoonful of salt few dasheS of cayenne, six tablespoonfufs of oil and two to four of vinegar de pending somewhat upon the taste, the combination of foods, or the acidity of the vinegar. The ice is sometimes used as q mixing spoon by pressing q fork into it or against it. Mix the condiments, add the oil and mix again, then add the acid, few drops at q time, beating until an emulsion is formed. Another way to use this dress ing is to pour the oil over the vege- tables, tossing until evenly mixed, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and add the vinegar and toss again. When a quantity of dressing is need- ed it may be put into mason jar all ready for mixing; put on the rubber cover and give it a good shaking 10 mix the dressing
 Mayonnaise Dressine.-Take the yolks of two eggs, beat well and then add teaspoOnful of mustard. d half teaspoonful of salt, dash of red pep per a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and mix again; then add oil, drop by drop, until it is very thick when the acid may be added also a few drops at time beat until a pint of oil Is lemon juice and vinegar. After the dressing has used q cupful of oil. the oil may be added faster. Have all the dishes and ingredients cold and the dressing will not separate. If this should happen, start the process all over again. using fresh egg yolz, and use the dressing to beat into it as if it were the oil
 Roquefort Cheese Salad Dressing.- Make a French dressing by using four of vinegar one and a half tea spoonfuls of salt. a dash of red pep per and two tab1espoonfuls of sugar When blended add three tablespoon fuls of ehili sauce and two table spoonfuls of thick sweet cream Put on ice and chill. Just before serving add a fourth of a pound of Roquefort cheese. cut in fine pieces. This will serve ten people

PLAN YOUR HOUSE WISELY
Your Own Interests and the Interests of the City Alike Demand Care
 in Building.

One factor often overlooked in fix ing the value of a house is the mis- takes in judgment that often occur in planning and locating it.
 You have often heard the remark, "There stands a 5000 house on d $30O0 street."
 Meaning that whils the house point ed out cost So,00O to build, the other houses on the street average only $3O00.
 Such mistakes in judgment in build- ing would be less frequent if two ideas were kept in mind by more peo- pie when building.
 Real estate men have found that, as a general rule, ratio of about three to one should exist between the value of single family dwelling and the value of the land it occupies.
 Also, houses should be made to har- inonize with other buildings in the block. Keep these two facts in mind when buying.
 Then-fne houses are sometimes built near undesirable surroundings, such as noisy factories, livery stables and the like-which are sure to lessen the value of the house.
 Under mistakes in planning comes the freak" house, built to suit some mans personal whim. Such a house may be very costly and yet not at all salable.
 The cost of unusual or unduly or. nate fixtures and decorations is gen erally disregarded in fixing the value of a building.
 These things must all be considered In fixing the value of house-in con- nection with the cost to replace, de- nreciation and ohSolescence if any
