USED ELECTRICIANS
cIeopatra's Court Physician Known to
Have Prescribed Them for Med
icaI Purposes.

The electric ray is a species of fish
found on the Pacific coast. 1t is
known from central California south
ward to the Santa Barbara channel
and is very common in Monterey
bay.
This fish is provided with an electric
organ composed of heXagonal cells,
reaching from the skin of the upper
surface to that of the lower, and stu
ated at each side of the head and gill
chambers. The electricity discharged
from this ray has the properties of
other electricity, such as rendering an
iron bar magnetic, decomposing chem
icals and producing a spark.
Stories vary as to the volume of
the discharge, but even small ray
is capable of inflicting considerable
pain. After few discharges the fish
becomes exhausted and must rest be-
fore it's electric organs are again func-
tional.
1t is of interest to note that the first
record we have of the application of
electricity is of the time of Antony
and Cleopatra, whose court physician
recommended the electricity of an cleo
trio ray for medical purposes, especial
" for pains in the head. Later it was
prescribed for the cure of gout.-Amer-
lean Angler.

Probably $1,000,000 was the original

Patriotic Honey Bees.

It is stated as a curious fact that
the honey bee is this season doing
more than its usual share in provid-
ing a substitute for sugar. An East
side resident of Rochester, n. Y, who
has succeeded measurably in keeping
bees without undue annoyance to his
neighbors, reports that none of his
colonies have Swarmed thus far this
season, and that they are producing
honey in great abundance. This is
cheerful news in view of the fact that
the English ration of two pounds of
sugar per month for each person is
now to be enforced in this country.

TNHE Phantom Canyon highway
between Cripple Creek and
81 Canon City, Colo, is now
open to travel, and as a re-
suit Colorado offers to the mOtOrist
RnOther great circle trip through some
Cf Americas finest scenery. The
highway was formally dedicated on
August 80, when more than 500 motor
lists from Teller, Fremont, Ell Paso
and other Colorado counties gathered
at GIenbroOk, point midway between
Cripple Greek and Canon City, and
participated in the ceremonies Incl
dent to the opening Of this road.
Phantom Canon highway is unique
among the scenic roads of the Rocky
mountains, and it's story is one of the
most interesting chapters in the his
tory of road building in Colorado. In
the early days of Cripple Creek, there
was built the Florence and Cripple
Creek railroad, q narrOW-gauge line,
to carry the rich ores to the Smelters
and to bring the fruit, hay and other
products of the fertile valleys to the
mining camps high in the hills. AS
time went on the need for this road
grew less and less until finally it was
abandoned and dismantled. But the

PLAN FOR TAKING OVER
DUTCH BOATS DELAYED
In Absence of Reply from Holland I
Was Decided to Wait Another Day
to Avoid DiscOurtesy.

Washington, March 21-Plans for
taking over Dutch shipping in Ameri-
can waters, were changed at the last
moment. In the absence of a reply
from Holland to the British-Ameri-
can demand for transfer of the ships
according to the agreement which
Germany blocked, it was decided to
wait at least another day TO avoid
seeming discourtesy to the little
kingdom. which has had one of the
most difficult roles among the neu-
trails in the world war.
The United States still awaits final
word from London, where the nego-
tiations were conducted. An urgent
message was sent to London late in
the day, asking for a report.
1t is believed that some trouble in
"nding or cabling is responsible for
the delay in transmitting the Dutch
reply.
Unequivocal acceptance OF the
original agreement for the transfer
OF ships is wanted by the United
States. which will accept no less. and
is prepared to go ahead with the re-
QUESTIONING of the tonnage unless a
favorable reply is received. Press
dispatches indicating that Holland
had asked that the ships be prohibit
ed from carrying troops or munitions
we're taken to indicate that she was
making last effort to placate Ger
many in the face of submarine
threats and economic pressure. Such
conditions are regarded as being not
those of Holland. but OF Germany.
