Union Soldier Traces His Bullet
Fired in Battle Of Vicksburg
Fifty-Eight Years Ago.

Kelso, Wash.-P. ]. Knapp, a Civil
war veteran. after SO years has traced
the course of bullet he fired at the
siege Of Vicksburg.
Some time ago Mr. Knapp read a
news dispatch saying that w. B.
Meadows. Confederate veteran OF
Lanott. Ala, had coughed up a bull
let which was shot into his eye at
Vicksburg. Mr. Meadows, the account
said, was member of the Thirty
seventh Alabama regiment, and Mr..
Knapp recalled an incident at the
siege, when he and three other mem
bers of the Fifth Iowa volunteers 81
fenced a Confederate sharpshooter
who was firing through a small hole

the man behind the boiler plate, and
that the bullet entered his right eye.

ENDS "ShRiMP DANCE"
Modern Machinery Does Away
With Picturesque Custom
Sun-Dried Shrimps Were "Chucked'
to Music of Banjo Punked in
Weird Minor Key.

New Orleans.-Due to the inroad
of modern machinery, the Shrimp
cance,' one Of the picturesque bits O.
routine that for years has marked the
work ON the shlimp-drying platforms
along the Louisiana south coast, this
year goes into the lumber room OF
memories to join other quaint customs
Of bygone years.
Machinery hereafter will "chuck
the sun-dried shrimps.
To the tourists who have ventured
down into the wilderness of low-lying
marshes. where the shrimp platforms
gather in the cargoes Of the trawlers,
the shrimp dance" has ever been a
colorfu memory
Boiled in salt water in great copper
vats dried in the sunshine to rubbery
resiliency, the shrimps have been swept
up into huge circles in the past years.
Then. while guitar or banjo or accor-
dion walled and plunked a dancing
strain in weird minor key, the husky
platform workers, hands on hips, have
shufiled over the circular piles Of
shrimp. Beneath their tread the brit
tie shells cracked into fragments.
Following the dance the pnkish
shrimp meat was shoveled through
great screens, the brittle shell frag-
ments falling through, while the piles
of dried fish were packed in barrels.
The shrimp industry in Louisiana
has grown to greater proportions
than is generally known. During the |
season of 1920, 20716 persons were
supported by the industry, more than
81 100000 were invested in shrimp t
fleets, and the catch was listed by !
government officials at 2S,950,000
pounds.

Deaths Decrease Say Official
Figures.

Paris.--The number Of marriages
In France has doubled. the number
of births increased, while fewer deaths

The excess birth over deaths in 1920,
was $4,000, as compared to 58.914 in
1913 The marriages tntaled 623,869
in 1920. against 312036 in 1913.
The significance of these figures is
increased when it Is remembered that
the total population of France has
