Modern lzaac Walton Uses
Electric Lights as Aid ii
Making Raid on Finny Tribe

LuriDg fish by electricity is simply
new and very efficient stunt to which
few batteries and an electric light may
be applied. In Il recent patent for this
purpose an inventor has provided de
vice. which is intended to induce timil
fish to venture from their hiding places
in drifts, into the open water, where
they may be easily caught by the pa
tient and persistent fisherman, says
the Electrical Experimenter.
The device consists merely of an
electric lamp incased in strong glass
ccntalner, Il float to regulate the depth
of the glass, coil of wire ana few
batteries to energize the lamp. The
wires are insulated from the water by
a length of rubber tubing and the bat
teries stored in IL portable box on
shore. The heXibility of the tubiEr,
however, does not permit it TO bend un-
der the stress of flowing water. \
small switch mounted on the outside
of the box completes q. opens the cir
cuit to the lamp at will.
When the fisherman is ready for op-
erations he sets his float at the proper
place and drops the lamp into the wa
ter. He then allows his line to hang
alongside the lamp and proceeds to
make himself comfortable. The fish
soon crowd around to view the cleo
trical display and when one attempts
10 relieve the hook OF its bait. the
angler pulls him in. After all of the
fish at one place have been drawn from
their hiding places, the fisherman turns
off his light ard draws it shoreward.
The tubing is now coiled and placed
with the lamp and float in the-box CON
taining the batteries and, picking up
his box and fishing tackle, the merry
angler proceeds to invade another
choice spot where the fish have as yet
not been introduced to the wonders of
electricity.

Making Soap from Sugar.

The discovery is announced of
method of manufacture of soap from
sugar, of which Germany has plenty,
instead of from oil, which is scarce.
In the past 1t has been possible to use
sugar only in soaps that had little val
ne. BY the new method, it is claimed,
the soap produced is not fine and deli
cate, but it acts as efficiently in salt
water as in fresh-a fact that may
make the soap valuable for the navy!
Articles that formerly had to be sent
to chemical laundries can be washed
with this new kind of soap. The fin
est kinds of silks, it is alleged, not,
only are not harmed by it, but their
colors are brought out brilliantly as
if new. In addition, the sugar-soap
seems to be responsible Tor Il min

Six Flags Have Flown Over
The Territory That Now Is
Included in State of Texas

Six flags have flown over Texas, in
Guiding the banners of three foreign
powers-France. Spain and Mexico.
First came the French flag, which was
carried down the Mississippi river to
the Gulf of Mexico by the intrepid La
Sale; following this was the Spanish
emblem, first thrown to the breeze un-
der the direction of the Franciscan
priests; then came in succession the
Mexican flag and the Lone Star en-
blem OF the Republic of Texas.
The Stars and Stripes followed the
Lone Star, but was supplanted for II
time by the Stars and Bars of the
Confederacy.
In the struggle for ascendancy
among these various groups. it is need
less to say that much blood has been
spilled and countless tragedies have
taken their places on the pages of his
tory.
The history of the Republic of Texas
Is one of TIE most unique examples Of
national sovereignty that the world has
ever seen.
a province of 10000 people won in
dependence from nation of several
millions. But these 10000 We're gen
orally men of sturdy Anglo-Americau
stock.
a few years later these same fearless
and Independent Texans voluntarily
gave up their sovereignty to become
one of the galaxy of stars under the
banner of the United States.

The effect Of an abundance Of food
on the breeding of rodents should be
kept in mind. Well-fed rats mature
quickly, breed often, and have large

trary, reproduce less frequently and
have smaller filters. In addition,
scarcity Of food makes measures for
destroying the animals far more effec-
tive.

IF the country there is serious eco
nomic drain in the destruction by rats

How many people realize that the
familiar mortgage Of today has been
handed down to us from generation to
generation In practically unchanged
form since the time of ancient Baby
Ion?
Yet this is fact. The mortgage Is
one of those few things which has sur
vived through the long centuries
meeting the needs of Bel Bullitsu and
Sha Nabu Shu. BabylOnian agricul-
turists, and John Jones, the modern
American farmer.
This interesting discovery was made
when the Archaeological expedition Of
the University of Pennsylvania dug up,
In the ruins of the ancient city of Nip
pur, Babylon, a mortgage dated 43O B.
c., more than $500 years ago.
The following Is an accurate trans
latiOn Of the inscription on the brick
made by a noted Assyriologist of Chi
cagO:
Thirty bushels of dates are due to
Bel Nadin Shun, son of Marashu, by
Bel Bullitsu and Sha Nabu Shu, sons
of Kirebti, and their tenants. In the
month Of Tashri (mOnth Of harvesD Of
the 34th year of King ArtaXerxes I,
they shall pay the dates, thirty bushels,
according to the measure of Bel Nadin
Shun, in the town of Bit Balatsu.
Their field, cultivated and uncultivated
fief estate Is held as pledge for the
dates, namely, thirty bushels, by Bel
Nadin Shun. Another creditor shall
not have power over It,"
The mortgage is the most ancient
form Of investment, the first known
mortgage having been used by the
Babylonians about 1000 years b. c.
1t will be noted that the document,
which is trust deed and note in one, is
first mortgage, as shown by the final
sentence, Another creditor shall not
have power over it."
1t will be noticed, also, that specific
place, as well as time, for payment
