INSCRIPTION ON FISH'S TAIL
Mystery to Natives of Zanzibar
Though Scientists Say 1t Is Moth
ina Much Out of the Ordinary.

A strange fish was recently caught
upon its iail The fish was not one
of large haul, but was caught by
single fisherman, who brought it to tAe
fish market. There it remained fol-
some time, having no purchaser, as ii
was a strange fish and one that had
never been seen before in those Wa
tiers. Finally an Indian of the sect
called "Memen' purchased it and, on
the strange markings being noticed, II
was taken to widely-known Arab
scholar, who, deciphered the inscrip'
ton. 1t was afterWard taken to the
sultan who also recognized the word
ing.
That night 5000 rupees was offered
for the fish and refused, and on the
following day 5000 rupees was re-
fused, according to Scientific Amer
lean. The original price paid for the
fish was 5 pice (abOut 8 cents) and II
was eventually decided to have it pre-
served. For this purpose it was taken
to the government laboratory. where it
was treated with formaline. 1t has
since been placed on public exhibition.
There are two distinct inscriptions
on the tail one on each side. On the
one side it reads ''Laillaha Illalah"
("There is no God but Allah) and on
the other "Shabi Allah" GA warning
sent from Allah"}. There is no susr
picion of anything in the nature of II
fake about the matter and the mystery
is so complete that no explanation Of
the strange phenomenon is forthcom-
ing. The Arabic lettering is perfectly
plain and the discovery has caused
wonderment throughout the Mohan-
medan community of Zanzibar
1t was identified as hOlacanthus
semicirculatus, GUY. ct VAL, a widely
distributed IndO-Pacific species Of
chaetOntidae. An authority on zoology
considers the markings as falling with
in the limits of normal variation of the
species.

Women are Swarming into new &C
tivities to meet the needs of industry
and to release men for service at the
front. These war times acall upon
every individual to do some. kind of
work, excusing only the very old or
the very young from active service.
And women are acQuitting themselves
like men. They are getting down to
business in uniforms scientifically de-
signed to meet the requirements of the
various kinds of work they have un-
dertaken to do, and to meet their own
sense of fitness. Many smart uni

ing her bit by discharging the duties
of some man who is "over THEREFOR
on the way.
For the factory or farm or garden
there are overettes and service suits
like those shown in the picture. They
prove to be immensely convenient for
house work, and for outings in the
woods or mountains there is nothing
so comfortable and satisfactory as the
service suit. For tramping, climbing
and fishing it has any outfit that ins
cludes a skirt discredlted: there is no
comparison between them for conven-
fence. =

British CoIumbia's Coal.

Writing of the discovery of coal in
British Columbia, Johnson in his First
Things in Canada" states: zone day
n December, 1S49, an officer of the
Hudson's Bay company in Fort Vic
:oria was informed by the foreman OF
he blacksmiths shop that an old Ma
laimo Indian chief had just stated that
ne knew where there was stuff like
hat which the white man was using in
the blacksmith's fire. The Indian was
.old that if he would bring some pieces
Of the stuff he would have his gun
repaired free and receive a bottle OF
rum. The chief reappeared in the fol
owing April (f850) with his canoe
alden with coal. A prospecting party
went out and found the coal where the
.ity of Nanaimo noW stands. In 1874
he production of coal from the Ma
laimo mines amounted to LOCO tons;
N 1895 it exceeded 100000 tons. 3

Indian Names.

The Indians up in the far North
country call the beaver ah-mick, says
Dan Beard in Boys Life, the boy
scouts magazine. By the way, when
BOY scouts lay out their council
grounds at camp and divide 1t up as 1t
should be, according to the north,
south, east and west winds around
he circle, they should remember that
The Indian name for north Is Quiewed-
hong, for south is ShOw-nein-nong, for
East is Waba-nOng, and for west is
Sabie-a-nong.
Now, you know the Indian ceremony
always begins with blowing the smoke
If the pipe to the four winds, and
hen to the sky, which is O'quie, and
then to the earth, which is A'kee, and
he warrior lights his pipe with Skoo-
lay, that is, with fire, but if he is tow
leeke with the SkoO-day he starts a
forest fire (tow-neeke means care
esS).
To be a good scout. one must never
)e tow-neeke; to be patriotic one must
never be tOw-neeke.

Her Golden Clrclet.

There are several theories as to the
origin of the wedding ring. Here is
one of them: Before the time of minis
and coinage the gold money in Egypt
was made in the form of ring, usu-
ally worn on the finger as a convenient
method of carrying and safe keeping
The men and women, therefore, had all
their gold or wealth made into rings,
and for the majority of people these
rings were no larger than the plain
gold bands Of today. Thus, when the
groom placed the ring on the brides
finger he meant exactly what the mod
ern service makes him say-he did ac-
tually endow his bride with all his
worldly goods.

earristers' Wigs.

Barristers wigs first came into
vogue about 200 years ago. Up to the
end of the seventeenth century judges
and sergeants at law alone had any
listictive dress.
Under Queen Anne the queens coun-I
selor adopted the court dress and silk
gown which made up the mourning Of
the period, together with the full-bot-
toned wig then usually worn by all
persons Of position.
Thereupon the outer bar started
wearing a modest short wig, with
strings of horsehair tied up at the end,
In imitation of the fashion of tying the
back hair up into a pigtail.
Some judges, we are told by a legal
historian, found these wigs "cox-
combical," and would not allow barris-
ters wearing them to plead in court.

of Warren Jean material in khaki

made to be worn with them.
Smart society women who have ded-
icated their cars and services to the
government have donned tunic uni

replacing young men as ushers in the
theaters are uniformed in spirited coat

dashing little caps. Women serving

Cheerful Looking Umbrellas.

Why should we look dull on a rainy

even to our umbrella now, for the col

protection from sun and shower alike.

political parties. They will not all
think alike or act alike politically.
But they are apt to be in fairly close
agreement in action. They are young
and they will be politically energetic.
The camp produces the keenest poll
ticians. After our Civil War it was
the veterans who controlled the
politics and the political currents of
this country. The Union veterans for
many years ran the North, the Con-
federate veterans the South. Gen
orally speaking, they grouped them
selves around leaders who had gone
into the army from civilian life.
They were not very receptive to new
political theories. In fact, they were
absurdly conservative. But they man
aged the country. On the eight PFesi-
dents from 1868 to 1896, six were ex-
officers.
As we have said before, the ques-
ton is one of practical politics. If
the war goes on for any great length
OF time, the probabilities are that the
immediate political future of this
country. and perhaps of England and
France, will be determined, not by the
