shark Fi.hlre Arabian Industry.

Shark nshing il quite IN industry
among the Arab nshsrmen Of Alden.
Tho best grounds are between Alden
and sAukra, On Arabian port about
eleven miles east Of Alden, writes Con-
mi eosthard from AdensArabia. There
ne also good shark fishins grounds at
Nakalla, another Arabian port some
distances beyond shukra. Shark fisher
men also have good luck ut most places
along the British Somnliland coast.
The usual fishing vessel Is the typical
Arab sailing -dhow. Both nets and
hooks arc used n fishing. The nets
are very strongly woven, the best ones
coming from, the Persian Gull, and are
from 100 rs '1t0 feet in length and
about 25 feet wide. Sharks from 8 to
I feet In length are usually caught in
the nets, while hooks are used for the
capture Of larger sizes. Fishing with
hooks Is often done from small boats
nd requires considerable courage, as
Z large fish Will sometimes overturn
the boat and throw the occupants into
The water, where they have more than
IN even chance Of being attacked by
sther sharks.

Artificial LIGHT.

It is quite possible to do success
tul photography by artificial light. In
fact many professional photographers
nowadays, employ artificial light ,ex-
clusively for portrait work, for the rea-
son that it is more dependable and
more easily controlled than daylight.
But naturally very powerful light,
from 200 candle power upwards. must
be employed so as to avoid having to
prolong the exposure unduly. With q
kerosene lamp, portraiture would be
out of the question, but one might
make Photographic studies of still life
subjects fruit, flowers. etc.). with such
an illuminant. Using q lens work
ing at (say) Fs, and presuming the
light from the lamp was equal to about
18 candle power (this would be an I'M
usually powerful light for an oil-burn-
ing lamp, an exposure of from half
an hour to an hour would probably be
required Tor still life subject, with
the illuminant placed 8 feet or 30 dis
tant from it.-Exchange.

Lily Red,s Beautiful River.

Some Of the most beautiful and ex.
tensive natural ,water-lily beds in the
world are to be found along the up
per Mississippi. During the summer
months persons come from miles
around to look upon these vast ex-
quisite displays. When the river is
low portions Of its bed, in some cases
scores Of acres in extent, are covered
with shallow water, or wholly exposed.
In such places the white and yellow
lilies, surrounded by their shining
green leaves, are to be found, some OF
the beds stretching as far as the eye
can see.-Popular Mechanics Maya.

MAY DECLARE ON AUSTRIA
Attack on American Steamer Schyi-
kill May Force Issue.

Washington. Nov. 27.-Investiga-
ton regarding the nationality Of the
submarine that sank the American
steamer Schuylkill made by the state
department have developed that the
periscope was marked black and
white with a spiral design. Data in
possession of the government does
not reveal whether this indicates an
Austrian vessel.
The state department is continuing
IT'S inquiry through consular officers
at Mediterranean ports and should ii
be established that the Schuylkill
was sunk by an Austrian submarine
the state department, it was said,
would have in its possession the es-
sential factors upon which to ask con
gress for an expression of its will re-
garding the furthe~ maintenance of
peaceful relations with Austria.
Americans lost their lives on the
Italian liner Ancona, destroyed in thu
Mediterranean, and the American
tanker Petrolite also was attacked
there.

RAIL EMBARGO ON LIQUOR
Anti-Saloon League Seeks War Order
From Priority Board.

Washington. Nov. 27.--The Anti
Saloon league leaders are trying a
new tack in their campaign against
booze.
The latest development is an effort
To secure n ruling from the priority
board. of which Judge Robert s. Low
EFT is chairman. hat would forbid the
use of railroad cars in transporting
intoxicating liquor. as a war measure.
This would be n ~far-reaching and
drastic blow at the liquor traffic. but
there is no doubt. experts say. that
the priority board has the power TO
make such a ruling, If il sees fit. The
theory upon which 1t is asked is that
the rolling stock is needed for war
uses and should not be employed in
transporting Intoxicating liquors.
since no benefit TO the wal could come
from such traffic.

Elsewhere along the new battle

ASK SERVICE FLAG ROYALTY
Owner of Patent Demands Profit For
Privilege of Sales.

Cleveland, o.. Nov. 27.-Fiag man
ufacturers in Cleveland and other
cities are resisting payment of a 10
per cen royalty claimed by the Uni
ted Service Flag Company of Cleve-
land on all service flags. The flag
was designed by Robert l.. Queisser,
formerly captain in the Ohio national
guard. Its design was patented by
Mr.. Queisser, through a Cleveland
agent. Nov. 6. The company was in
c%orporated q few weeks ago.
The manufacturers question the
right of patent as the design and de-
clare that patent attorneys in Wash
ington and Cleveland have advised
them to ignore the claim for the
present.
Ii is estimated that the patent
rights, on the basis of a 10 per cent
royalty, would net the company a
profit of approximately 81, 200 a day.

Russians Given False News.

Stockholm. Nov. 26.-The Leipsig

an attack upon the majority social
lists in connection with the Russian

faction of having given their Rus

the situation in Germany"
The Volks Zeitung declares the ma
jority socialists have assured the
Russians that the German govern
ment, in the east, will respect the
rights OF nations to determine their
W destiny despite the fact" the
newspaper remarks, that it is well
known both inside and outside of
Germany that the German govern
ment will not do anything OF the
kind"
