HERON IS EXPERT FISHERMAN
Great Bird Impresses Watcher by
Great Skill With Which He Uses
His Long Bill In Water.

There Is nothing Of more interest
than following a stream, either by boat
or on foot, and not the least among
the surprises coming to you--always
welcome surprises-is the starting OF
great blue heron far ahead. the giant
bird being interrupted while fishing in
some shallow water where the min
nows and taddies congregate.
The herons all, and the great blues
particularly, are expert fishermen
not, Of course. with rod and line, but
as giggers, the implement being the
natural one of their long bills. If you
can make q long and successful sneak
ahead and spot one Of these birds
through your field glass, or even with
sharp, long-distance eyes. the slender
creature standing like statue and
quite as motionless for many minutes
at time or stalking slowly along,
rarely more than half-leg deep in the
water, to a new spot and then see him
by downward stroke of his long neck
and bill which hardly ever misses
make q crack at finny titbit, you
will be impressed also with his skill.

Among the simplest and yet one OF
the most effective inventions Of an
cient times was the javelin with a
point Of soft iron employed by Julius
Caesar in his Gallic wars. The RO-
man iegionaries hurled these weapons
against the shields of their enemies.
The iron head penetrated the outer
covering of bulls hide, but tiattened
against the hard wood or metal back
of the shield, and thus became hooked
to this protector. The shanks Of the
dangling javelins SO impeded the move
ment Of the barbarian soldiers that
they were forced either to throw away
their shields and fight uncovered

Colonies Loyal to France.

Although st. Lucia is under the Brit
ish flag, the favorite language Of the
inhabitants is French-either fairly
pure French Or an almost unintelligible
patois. In this St Lucia is only one
example OF a phenomenon that the
traveller meets all over the world-ths
tenacious spiritual hold of France upon
ell her ancient colonies. France lost
by far the greater part OF her empire
through military weakness. and even
that part which she holds today she
does not govern with any conspicuous
efficiency. Either England or the
United States administer colonies in a
way far better for all concerned. But
while the old French colonies change
flags, they always remain loyal to the
French tradition In language and In
sympathies. There are a dozen ins
stances Of this in the West Indies. The

MEMORIAL IS LONG DELAYED
Erected f39 Years After Provision
Was Made for tt.

The memorial shaft In front Oh
Kings chapel, Boston, has history OF
special interest, says the Youths Com
panion. 1t was erected in memory OF
the Chevalier de Saint-Sauveur. who Is
buried In the crypt of the chapel, but
1t was not put up until 139 years after
the general court of Massachusetts
had passed the resolution providing for
it. The Chevalier de Saint-Sauyeur
was an officer In the French fleet that
under command of Count d'Estaing
arrived in Boston harb0r in August,
1778. One evening when he was ashore
he was killed I'm q riot that took place
near bakery established to provide
bread for the sailors of the fleet.
The local authorities We're much
alarmed lest his death should cause
bad feeling ut time when the friend
ship and aid of France were much de-
sired After his burial beneath Kings
chapel, the general court voted to erect
a monument TO his memory. An in
scription was prepared and Il commit
tee was named to attend to the matter
OF ordering the stone. For some rea-
son the committee neglected to do it's
duty--it will be recalled that the war
of independence was at It's height
and a century and quarter passed
before students of history brought the
matter before the general court. AT
last, In 1916, through the efforts of the
Bostonian society, the general, court
made the necessary appropriation and
In due time the monument was made
and put In place. The monument bears
the, French inscription prepared in
l77S, which recites in detail the story
of the young officers death.

must firmly get into the popular mind.
The average citizen is still frightened
at the prospect Of leaving the ground
and having no support except the air
itself. Yet at the speed which we ex-
pect an aeroplane to maintatn-seventy
or eighty miles an hour--there Is no
means OF transportation that is SO safe.

dents with trains and automobiles do
not exist for flying craft. 4 locomo'

on the part of the driver, going. say.
forty or f1fty miles an hour, may hurl
the machine over precipice OK over

a lapse on the part Of an aviator has
no such deporable results. There are
no precipices to fall from and no OBJ
structions TO collide with.
The aer0plane is even safer than
some forms Of water travel. The mo-
torboat, going at a speed OF forty miles
an hour or even slower, is more
risky form of transportation than an
aeroplane If such boat strikes even
a small obstruction. such as a floating
plank, it's side Is punctured and 1t sinks

such dangers in the air. -- Orville

Whale Not Fish.

Whales and porpoises are not fish
according TO statement issued by tks
bureau OF fisheries, so far as their flesh
Is concerned
They are mammals. like cattle ana
sheep, and in texture, appearance and
taste their meat is more like beef than
anything else.
The bureau of fisheries has been de-
vottag much time to study of the
matter and has conducted a great deal
OF correspondence upon the subject,
with the result that 1t now advocates
the use OF whale, porpoise, dolphin
and "other cetaceaas'' as substitute
for beef.
