EXPERTS AT SHARING FOWLS
With Their Chief Occupation
Method of Work.

The chief occupation of the ST. XII
da men Is fowling. The st. Kildans
eat vast numbers of the eggs of the
sea-birds which frequent their islands,
In addition to the birds themselves,
which are not only eaten fresh, but
dried and sailed for winter supplies.
The cliffs are equally divided among
the inhabitants, and a man seldom or
never peaches on his neighbours prop
erty. Each year the cliffs are por-
toned out anew, the Saxon mod, or
council, assembling for the purpose.
The adjacent Islands and stacks" are
regarded as common property, and are
hunted at intervals by a party dis
patched In one of the boats, the pro-
ceeds being equally divided among the
entire population. No fowler in the
world is more expert than the st. Kill
dan. Armed with long rod, at the
end Of which is horsehair moose, he
climbs the dizzy heights and snares
the sitting birds at will, slipping the
fatal moose over their heads and drag
ging the fiuttering captives to him.

Something might be said Of the
changes that three years of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress Is not abolished, but 1t Is becom-
ing much less customary In theaters
and restaurants, and people coming
up to London who used to bring eve
ming clothes with them no longer do
SO. Stiff white collars are disappear
fng, and the soft collar is worn by all
classes. The democratic process had
already set In at the house Of COM
mons. One remembers the shock that
Mr.. Keir Hardie's cloth cap created on
its first appearance there, but it has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. Frock coats are In a small and
die-hard minority. Spats are on their
last legs. Top hats survive miraculous
ly, 1t might seem, until one remembers
their enduring qualities, so that their
persistence is only form of war
economy after all.

New Order Given cowards.

'The Order of the Running Hare

conferred by the Loyal Belgian nation
al committee upon their well-to-do
compatriots of military age, who, after
fleeing from the German invader, have
since preferred safety and ease
abroad to the hardships of trench life
on the User.
Many Belgians in neutral countries
have received such an order, which
consists of a medal showing a flying
hare, with an uncomplimentary in

DISCOVERED AN OLD VOLCANO
Layer of Hard Lava, Still Warm,
Found at Base of Ragang Noun
Iains, Philippine Islands.

The Philippine islands still are un-
explored land to the white man. On a
march some time ago, lieutenant of
the constabulary found a lava flow
and other evidences of volcanic actiy-
ity at the base of the Ragang noun
tains Recently an exploring party
climbed the mountains and now an
other volcano is being added to the
maps.
The volcano which the party found
consists of three large peaks, between
which extends the crater, now quiet.
A fourth peak is thought once to have
stood at one corner of the crater, for
there is evidence that great explo-
sion shattered it.
Vegetation in the form of buckle
berry bushes, scrubby trees, small
tufts of short grass and Canadian
thistle extends to near the top of the
peaks. Covering the peaks is thin
crust of hardened lava, which is east
~ kicked up by the shoe, and the rock
underneath is soft, spongy and warm.
At innumerable vents an odorless
steam was issuing. There was no bub-
bling lava or signs of recent lava
flow, although on one side there ap.
peared to have been recent blast OF
hot gases. The trees there were
scorched and burned, While the leaves

Benefit to Business.

The merchant who does the biggest
business buys the most goods, and it
is the man who buys the most goods
who gets goods the cheapest. Here,
again, advertising helps the public.
The jobber or manufacturer, shipping
in bigger quantities to the bigger buy
er, receiving his money promptly and
being at smaller expense in various
ways, is glad to sell for less to the
business man who buys in big quaint
ties.
Advertising men know, of course, that
If advertising were not public bene-
fit the advertising store could not long
survive, for nonadvertising stores
would soon rise on the busy corners
o. our great cities and drive the great
advertising stores out of business.
