The federal grand jury that recent

which the indictments were returned

of the indictments upon the confess
sion of Tyree Taylor, former chief
deputy in the U. S. MarshaTs office
here.

Dig for Fish In Florida.

Izaak Walton scarcely would be- leve his eyes If he were to walk through the country near here, ac- cOrding to telegram from New Smyr- na, Fla, and encounter negroes dig ging live fish from the ground as if they were potatoes, and even persons accustomed to the miracles of this age would look twice and then set out in search of an oculist.
 But the mudfish, a queer member of the finny tribe, inhabits streams or ponds which have mud banks or bot toms. The fish Is black and weighs up to five or six pounds. When the water in a pond evaporates, as it does dur ing certain seasons of the year, ,leav- ing only a mass of mud which on the surface is practically dry, it doesn't worry the fish. They merely burrow into the mud to wait for rain and ap- parently continue to live as long as the earth is wet. The negroes locate them by exploring the mud with their bare feet.
 The fish is edible, but is not a fav- orite because of Its stringy and coarse flesh.

Fish Nets From Spider Web.

Native to New Guinea Is a giant spider, it's body as big as a hazelnut, with hairy legs two inches long. It spins a web six feet in diameter and very strong.
 Advantage of this fact is taken by the cannibals of the island, who set up long bamboo sticks in places ire quented by the spiders, thereby offer ing an invitation to the arachnids to spin webs across them.
 By this simple means (if one is to believe the story) ready-made nets are obtained which the cannibals use for catching sh.-Philadelphia Ledger.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

the high peaks of the Pacific coast ranges, members of Hood River post of the American Legion have an- nounced that the climb will be made annually. Governor Olcott and Secretary of State Kozer led the Alpine party of 85, composed of Legionnaires and state officials. The climb required two days and night.
 The first of the party of six ob- servers who were the only persons in America to witness the mysterious "new star," visible when the earth passed through the tail of a comet last month, was Eddie Rickenbacker, premier American ace and member of the American Legion in Califor- hia. The party was stationed at the Lick Observatory.
 Argentina celebrated the inaugur- ation of faster boat service between New York and South America re- gently when the new American pas senger liner, American Legion, con- cluded her maiden voyage at the port of Buenos Ayres. The post of the Legion there and government officials held a reception for the American liners crew.
 Charging that he buried the bodies of two and three soldiers in the same grave and that he charged for her medically sealed coffin boxes when none were used, the American Le- zion of New York city recently caused the arrest of William A. Ska hill, Manhattan undertaken. The Legion announced his arrest as the opening of crusade against un- scrupulous undertakers.
 Following the announcement of the Rev. John w. Inzer, Baptist min ister of Chattanooga, Tenn, that he would marry free of charge all ser vice men attending the third an nual convention of the American Le- zion at Kansas City this fall, pro- vided they furnish the brides, a Kansas City jeweler has announced that he will furnish wedding rings for the couples, "even if there are 1000 of them"
 The American Federation of La Dor and the American Legion in Hawaii are working together to ob- tain passage of the Hawaii hill now before congress. They ask for the Americanization of the island as against Japanese domination, in the 1 interest of the territoyr's two indus tries, tobacco growing and coffee ! raising.

"When Greek meets Greek" Is prob ably a perversion of the old familiar quotation "When Greeks joined Greeks then was the tug of war;" found in act 4, scene 2, Alexander the Great" by Nathaniel Lee (1655-1692). By this phrase is meant that when one ex- pert fighter meets another expert fight CT the result Is vigorous action and the outcome so far as who will win Is concerned Is In doubt.

Very Old Game

One of the oldest games in Amer ica, in the playing of which wooden implements were used, is la crosse, says the American Forestry Magazine of Washington. It originated with In- dians in prehistoric times and was widely known among the tribes of the northern United States and southern Canada at the time of the earliest ex- ploration. The redmen called the game "baggatiway," but the French named 1t la crosse, which name 1t retains.

Peanut Not Really a Nut.

The peanut is not a nut; it is a pea. It is trailing, struggling plant. grow ing from one to two feet high, with thick, angular pale green, hairy stems and spreading branches, and it rippns its fruit or its peas or nuts, under ground. It is a strange habit. Small yellow flowers are borne at the joints where the leaves are attached 10 the stems and as soon as pollination takes place the flower fades and the peg" as it is commonly called, buries itself in the ground, where the pod de- velops.
