Fish mortality on Florida coast,

Reports received by the United
States bureau of fisheries show that
there were two recent periods of heavy
mortality among the fishes on the west
coast Of Florida, between Naples and
Sarasota, for ID or 20 miles off shore.
Outbreaks of this phenomenon, which
appears to be due to natural causes,
occurred on October ard October Is,
1916. The beaches were lined with
windows of dead fish. Persons living
in the vicinity were affected with in
Illumination of the mucous membrane
induced by some gas, presumably sui

tiers. There is ground for the belief
that the conditions are attributable to
subterranean disturbances and the poi
sonous gases which rise and pollute
the waters.-Ciommerce Report.

bag contained sandry packages with
sundry sharp corners, but this was
known only to the mysterious stranger.
He found the window unlocked, ac-
cording to specifications. but to his as
constituent it opened outward instead
Of Inward. He also made a horrify-
ing discovery. He had expected TO
drop lightly to the basement floor, find
his way to the stairway, whose loca-
ton had been described to him, and
make his way upstairs to surprise the
family. But Jones had said nothing
about 6 coal chute. YET here was u
chute with sides that were unsur-
mountable. A flicker of flame shin
ing through the mice of the furnace
showed that the way was clear. But
what would coal chute do to his
Santa Claus outfit? To chute or not
to chute, that was the question.
Fate decided him. He distinctly
heard the click Of the back gate.
Good gosh" thought Henry. there
comes somebody And, without
pause for further thought, he seized
the bag and shot the chute into the
unknown.
He landed in coal bin nearly
empty of coal, but plentifully gar
nished with dust. A minute later an
interior door opened from the region
above, excited voices were heard, and

Is g x
True Friendship.

What is sure key to the conf
dence of the other person? Some peo-
pie invariably win that confidence;
others seldom do. A little girl of nine
was telling her mother with great en-
thusiasm how much she liked a certain
friend who was past seventy years of
age. In spite of the difference in ages,
there was a deep, warm bond between
them. "Why is it you like her so
much?' the mother asked. "Well,
mother. there are a great many rea-
sons" was the little girls reply; "but
one thing is, she's the understanding
est person I ever met" She did not
need TO say more. The older friend
had put herself in the nine-year-old's
place. thought her thoughts, and then,
without talking down" to her, made
her feel that they two had common
interest and could talk together as
equals. We can always do that In our
relationships with others-if we will
love, and think. No one gets into the

Custom Had orioin in PLAQUE

For many centuries plague was a
menace 10 all Europe. st intervals
it would spread like wildfire, wiping
out whole populations. In its ordi-
nary, or 'bubOnic," manifestation, it
depended for it's distribution upon
rats. But after u while it was liable
to assume the pneumonia" form, at
lacking the lungs.
In this form the malady spreads
with frightful rapidity. The plague
germs are in the air. People acquire
the infection by breathing. The af-
flicted scatter the germs by coughing
and SneeZing.
1t will be understood, then, how
it came about that people, centuries
ago, adopted the precaution of shield
ing the mouth by turning away the
head when coughing. sneezing, or
yawning. Today we continue to do
the same thing, for the sake of polite.
ness; but in reality the custom is a
survival of the days when the common
prevalence of plague made it a neces-
sity.

LOOK OVER CARS CAREFULLY
n,v;d Harum Had Nothing on the Men
Who Make Practice OF Selling
Secondhand Autos.

Many dozens of places are now oper-
oting secondhand motor car bust
nosses and while some of them are
unite reliable, it is still sad fact that
sfaEing" cars is a common occurrence,
observes the Scientific American.
One purchaser of a so-called rebuilt
car in New York paid 5000 for a ma
chine which is no longer built. 1t was
Guaranteed to be in running order, and
worked fairly well on the way home,
4 distance of ten miles. The follow
ing morning he was unable to crank
the car, and upon removing the cylin-
ders he discovered a very unique hard
wood piston in the front cylinder. The
car being out of date, the dealer had
been unable to obtain piston for it,
and had imprOvised one. The oil and
heat of the cylinder combined to warp
the wood and make the motor stick.
The wood had evidently been treated
with some heat-resisting compound, as
the charring on the surface which had
been exposed to the heat of combus-
ton was not severe.
In another case, purchaser of a
secondhand runabout detected a most
Deculiar noise in his timing gears,
which in that model were mounted on
the front of the engine. Removal OF
the gear case revealed the fact that
the gears had been packed in heavy
grease in which was mixed chopped
cork and sawdust. The bearings OF
the gears were badly worn and the i'm
perfect meshing which resulted made
them very noisy. The cork and saw
dust effected temporary remedy.
A third purchaser of the running
order gamble found that after he had
driven his car dozen miles, three
leaks developed in the cylinder cast
ing. In the pan he found three pieces
of dried chewing gum that exactly fit
ted the holes.
Among some of the other features
of such bargains" are cast iron ball
bearings, papier-mache radiator, hose
covered with aluminium paint, steel
breaker points in magnetic instead of
platinum, window glass in wind
shield, and cracks in crank case filed
with putty painted over. In view Of
all this, who can wonder what has be-
come of the good old-fashiOned horse
trader?

"Good Gosh! Here Comes Somebody"
of the basement. The chute seemed
to offer the only protection. Back
into it he climbed and lay there qui-
city.
"Oh, it's just the man with the coal"
said female voice above. And the
door closed again.
Poor Henry now pondered what to
do. He couldn't go up in the state he
was. He had never seen any pictures
of st. Nicholas represented as an Eth
opian. Anyway, his perils were over
for the moment. Were they? 2 here
was a footstep outside and into the
chute came pouring bagful of mixed
nut and egg. Henry had quite for
gotten about the mysterious click Of
the gate, the coal man and all, and had
no way of knowing, of course, that the
holiday rush had made that coal MAJ
late.
There was no time or way to escape
or dodge. The coal, sliding merrily
on its way, came with just enough
force to give him 40 kinds of head
ache in 40 different parts of his
head and brought along with it
enough dust to finish the chronological
transformation. II also carried him
back into the bin. He picked him
self up, found the corner Of the bin
most removed. and witnessed, as bess
he could in tile dark, the rather un-
interesting ceremony of putting in a
ton of coal. He wanted to sneeZe, but
would not permit himself the luxury
He had to cough, but luckily timed it
to coincide with the passage of bag
full of coal down the chute. He won
dered when the goldman would reach
the last bagful. When he reached it,
Henry Immediately knew, for the ac-
commodating goldman carefully hooked
the window, on the outside, and
snapped the paddock.
Meanwhile the fun-loving Jones fam
lily anxiously awaited the return of
Mr.. Henry Carruthers. alias Santa
Claus. Half an hour. "They must be
having q jolly time" Forty-f1ve min
utes. No remarks. An hour. Some
body run over. No, We'll all 60"
In the Williams household nothing
unusual seemed to have happened.
They were delighted to see the
JoneSes, of course. After five min
utes. a happy idea sent Jones home to
see if he had locked the door. His
investigation really concerned the Will
liams house instead. The back win
dow was securely locked-on the out
side. There was no sign of Henry in
the neighborhood.
Half an hour later Jones made a
clear breast of 1t. Abigail herself led
the rescue expedition. Henry would
have preferred to see anybody else.
An hour in the bathroom, and suit
of Williams, and Mr.. Carruthers was
presented. 1t was really a very merry
party that Christmas eve, after all-al-
together too merry, for Henry.
Yet, had Henry only known it, SYM
patty is often the awakening of love.
