A BabyIonian Epic.

In the midst of 1t all, man in Phila-
1elphla, a professor, is calmly trans
lating a BabylOnian epic. He has be-
fore him certain tablets which were
buried in Mesopotamian ground thou
sands of years ago, upon which, in the
time of Abraham, certain queer cone
shaped characters were inscribed. Not
many years ago the key to these char
acter was discovered, n the form of
an inscription in two languages, one
of which was known, and the meaning
of the queer characters slowly
emerged. The Philadelphia professor
has discovered that the tablets bear
an epic poem. He is translating the
epic and finds ii to be the story of the
way in which half-barbarOus chief
tain, named Enkidu, was redeemed
from a career of tyranny and violence
by the love of woman. And day after
day, while the papers are full of woes
and wickedness, and the drums of war
beat on the streets, Indifferent to all
the uproar this patient man goes on
translating into good English the poem
of Enkldu and his love.

REGISTRATION TO Be A GALA AFFAIR

A report from another state is that
it hopes to clear up its registration du-
ties in such short order that it may
claim to being first in a race prompted
by patriotic duty. If this spirit is felt
in other of the cOuntry's common
wealths, an interesting and somewhat
lively contest will take place as to
which can make the first completed
report of duty well done.
1t is not to be difficult thing for
the officials to carry out the govern
ment's instructions on registration day
and to complete the labor in hand. The
men who must register in accordance
with the requirements of the law will
find registration easy. Full instruc-
tions will be issued and can easily be
secured. There is nothing hard nor
in the least involved in the series of
questions which are to be answered.
Directness of question is the method
employed, and directness of answer
will make all things easy for the men
of the country and for the govern
ment which is to claim their service.
The questions which are to be an
swered involve comparatively few sub
jects: The name In full the age in
years; the home address; the date of
birth; the quality of citizenship, ma
tive born, naturalized, or the condition
of declaration of intention; the place
of birth, trade, occupation, or Office;
and by whom employed;
If any; married or single;
race, former military service and
where 1t was rendered, and lastly,
claims of exemption from draft with
the specific grounds therefor.
Easy to Answer.
These constitute virtually all the
questions which the man whose age
makes him subject to registration will
be called upon to answer. With the
questions there will be explanations
Of how they are to be answered, and
suggestions will be made for brevity.
The war department officials do not
believe that there will be many diff
ficulties in the way Of completing the
work Of registration day properly and
quickly. Several Of the states have
the government entirely Of
expense connected with the work Of
complete registration in fact
seems to be common to the
country. 1t is believed by the govern
nent officials that the spirit Of field
service will be in keeping with that
which has marked the activities In all
matters connected with the new ma
.ional army from the beginning.

SABLEFISH new DISH
U. S. Experts Rescue "BIaCk
Cod" From Oblivion.
Fourth Important Sea Food for
Which Market Has Been Created
by the Bureau Of Fisheries.

Uncle Sans bureau of fisheries, aid
ed and abetted by the high cost OF llv-
ing, is rapidly building up food-fish
aristocracy in the United States, and
the latest candidate for admission is
the sablefish, which has Travelled under
the alias of "black cod" for many
years.
The sablefish has been lifted from
obscurity in a fashion as sensational
as the rise of the tilefsh. Five years
ago the north coast Atlantic fisher
men were throwing overheard tons OF
tilefish. Today, 1t brings 20 cents a
pound, with the supply limited.
The sablefish was first discovered
on the Alaskan coast in 1911 by the
Indians, and the early settlers, noting
its superficial appearance, called 1t
''black cod" AS matter of fact, the
sablefish is not of the cod family; it's
rather of the salmon type. While the
people of the Pacific coast were clam
oring about the high cost of living dur
ing the past few years, the fishermen
out of San Francisco had been dump
ing overheard thouse uds of tons of the
fish, which they regarded as worthless.
To obtain the best flavor, sablefish
should be purchased "in the frost" and
thawed out. BarbecuIng 1t is especial
ly recommended by the bureau of fish
cries to the lovers of beach fish fries.
The introduction of the sablefish
marks the fourth important food dish
discovery of the fisheries bureau in the
past five years.
The tilefish was the first, and In
order to introduce this fish to the
American housewife, Secretary Of
Commerce Redfield personally worked
out and furthered an advertising cam
paign. He ordered the bureau to send
samples of the fish to a number of
clubs and hotels about Washington.
So quickly was the tilefishs popular
ity attained that dealers in Washing
ton today cannot keep their supply
up to demand.
Another discovery was the greyf1sh,
popularity known as dog shark. The
bureau set to work to eliminate public
prejudice based on the name SHARK"
and strong demand for the greyfish
has been created.
The bow-fln or mudfish, fresh wa
ter fish of great succulence, was added
last winter. This fish is not only
edible but altogether desirable from
an epicurean viewpoint.
In introducing the sablefish to the
American public, H. F. Moore, deputy
commissioner of fisheries, outlined
complete menu to which it is we'll
adapted.

Back to the Soil.

The young k-nut, unfit for general
service, volunteered for work on the
land. He went down to his fathers
place and began farming" A
friend passing that way spied him in
leggins and Norfolk jacket striding
across a wide stretch of moorland. He
hailed him.
"Hallo, Smutty" he cried as he
came up. "What are you doing in
this f0rSaken land"
Farming. I've gone back TO the
land"
"Any good at it?" grinned the friend.

Washington.-Offic of the war
department are pleased because many
states of the union do not intend that
registration day for the new army
shall be merely "drudgery day." The
spirit of patriotism seems to have en-
tered into the arrangements for the
occasion which have been made by
many of the state officials.
1t is the desire that all the states
shall enter into the duty of registra-
tion with the same spirit already man
ifested in many parts of the country.
In one state, for instance, the occa-
sion in large part is to take on the ma
ture of patriotic demonstration, a
sort of national fete day. In many
parts of this state there will be bar
becues and like affairs to draw the
people, so that those upon whom the
duty of registration devolves will know
that they have the support of their
fellows Of all occupations and of all
ages.

MINE SWEEPERS FISH DEATH
FROM THE BOTTOM OF SEA

his men and that upon his ability de-
pended all our lives.
His signal for greater speed had
hardly been sent to the opposite trawl-
er when shout from the deck called
out all hands. Two hundred yards off
there shot to the surface of the water
vile black nightmare monster, its
black horns protruding menacingly.
Heavy rifles were passed out to the
marksmen, and the hardest part of the
sweeping game commenced. After a
nine has been swept to the surface 1t
must be destroyed or sunk.
Rifle Fire Unsuccessful.
Ihe sharp barking of the guns
cracked out through the mist A little
spray showing the bullets course close
to the mine and series of dull clangs
gave evidence of direct hits. Every
man hoped one of the steel bullets
would strike horn and cause an ex-
plosion, which would finally remove
the menace, but luck went against the
gunners. They succeeded only In
piercing the monsters heavy armor
and allowing the water to enter. After
perhaps score of steel bullets had
penetrated the mine 1t filled and sank
beneath the surface, where 1t remained
for a few minutes and then sank to
its last resting place on the bottom.
The trawlers proceeded on their
course for 20 or 80 minutes, when an
other tautening of the cable indicated
the presence of a mine. We were now
In field where the Germans had sown
death with an extravagant hand. We
knew we rode continually hand In hand
with death. The members of the crew
lined the rails with drawn faces, for
they knew by experience that only a
few seconds remained for escape in
case we struck. The average light
vessel sinks within one minute after
being mined.
Again there leaped to the surface
horned destroyer, and again the marks
mems guns spat fire and it sank from
view half mile astern. Two com
panion trawlers whistled warning
that they had made a catch, and dimly
through the mist could be seen another
black, horned object between them.
Giant Sea Geyser.
Only few shots had been fred
when the air beat upon our ears and
the decks quivered. Then there was
mighty blast that almost stunned
and blinded us. Between the following
trawlers a great column of water rose
steadily skyward, drawing the ships
toward it. 1t seemed as if some un-
seen hand had showed great section
of the North sea and kept it suspend
ed hundreds of feet in the air for the
space of perhaps 80 seconds.
The spectacle defies description. It's
terribleness holds one breathless, until
the giant column of water re-
cedes slowly, apparently showing itself
