WORLDS MOST CURIOUS CITY
London Magazine Seems to Have Dis
covered Queer Settlement on
Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron.

The most curious of cities consists
of wooden huts on wheels, to the num-
Der of about one hundred and thirty,
which, when the season arrives, are
rolled onto the ice on Saginaw Bay,
Lake Huron. The population of this
city without a name is about five hun
bred. Each hut is fitted with cooking
utensils, hammocks, and a stove, and
is occupied by three men, whose bust
ness on the ice is to follow a peculiar
method of fishing.
In the center Of each hut a hole,
about a yard square, is dug to the wa
ter. One of the fishermen then takes
a live fish Of the herring tribe, and
after fastening it to a piece of pack
thread drops 1t into the water. The
fish dashes away as swift as an arrow
until 1t is pulled up by the thread,
when 1t returns towards the hole fol-
lowed by a host of pike and other fish
DESTROYS to feast on the dainty
sci. Beside the hole stand the fisher
men, harpoon in hand, waiting the ar
rival Of the pursuers, who are received
with thrusts of the four or 1ve-prong-
ed instrument, which rarely fails to
bring up some writhing victims.
Some huts can show two hundred
or more of fine fish at the end of the
days work. The most weird appear
ance of this city is at night, when the
fishermen prosecute the work by the
light of torches, which,, as is well
known, attract fish without the aid of
the herring bait. The glancing torches
and the shadows of the men leaning
over the holes make a strange spec
tacle. If fish are not abundant in the
spot first chosen the hut is wheeled to
another site.-London Tit-Bits.

RAILROADS USE MUCH COAL
Require Almost Twenty-Five Per Cent
of the Total Output of

show that 1861 600. 900 tons of bitumi-
nous coal, 6,735,000 net tons of Penn
s~ylvania anthracite and 22,950 tons of
coke were used by the railroads in the
United States In 1916. The increase
In the quantity of bituminous coal
used by the railroads in 1916 was
100000 tons, which was lis per
cent more than 1915. The increase in
the consumptionfof anthracite by the

S.5 per cent. There was an increase
in railroad consumption Of nearly
100000 tons of coal from Illinois,
about 100000 from Ohio and of
4,S00,0O0 from West Virginia. The
quantity of coal from Pennsylvania
used by the railroads decreased nearly
100000 tons.
The quantity of bituminous coal
