GO TRAVELLING IN LAGOONS

The natives Of Barotonga, one Of the
islands in the South Pacific ocean,
have singularamethod of catching
fish in which the whole community
takes part, according to the New York
Evening Journal. On the shore OF
the island there are many long, mar
row lagoons, each lying between a
beach and an outer reef of coral, that
usually swarm with fish. The natives
choose one of these stretches of shall
low water for the fish drive and close
all breaks in the reef by laying nets
across them or building up rough bar
riers with pieces of coral.
When they have done that, 600 or
700 men, women and children wade
into one end Of the lagoon carrying
little plated fiber bags filled with utu
nut. In most places the water 10
about three feet deep and nowhere
more than four feet; so the natives

Indeterminate sentences and the pa;

mended in the annual report Of the
District of Columbia board OF chari-
ties. The short-sentence system is
1eplored on the ground that in most
cases of commitments Of ten, fifteen or

commended system prisoners would be
sentenced to a maximum of two years,
subject to parole on record Of good

Every few seconds during the ten

through his field, flying in south

eve not a bird could be seen.
Our ears really tell us more than
our unaided eyes about the day fliers
which are travelling far up in the
sky. With nothing to turn them
from their course, sound waves carry
surprising distances either up from
the earth or down to it.
Balloonists tell us how clearly they
can hear voices of people who are
scarcely visible to them. SO we may
hear the noise OF passing birds which
are travelling at too great height to
be seen.
The mellow whistles of certain
snipe and plover tell us that they
are passing along the birds airline
when 1t is impossible for us to see
them. But, if we answer, we may in
