No More "Shrinp pances.n

Owing to new machinery the shrimp
dance" that for years has marked the
work on the shrimp-drying platform
along the Louisiana coast, this year
goes into limbo.
Machinery will "chuck" the sun
dried shrimps.
Boiled in salt water in great cop
per watts, dried in the sunshine to
rubery resiliency, the shrimp were
swept up into huge circles in past
year. Then, to the sound of guitar,
banjo or accordion, the husky plat
form workers, hands on hips. shut
fled over the piles of shrimp. Be
meath their tread the brittle shells
tracked.
After the dance the pinkish shrimp
meat was shOveled on great screens,
the brittle shell fragments falling
through, while the piles of dried flesh
were packed in barrels.
The shrimp industry in Louisiana
has grown to great proportions. Dur
ing 1920, 20,716 persons were supported
by the industry, more than S1,OOO,OOO
was invested in the fleets, and the
catch was listed by the government at
2S,950,000 pounds.

Effective Fog Signals.

In a heavy fog there is danger of
collision between ships because the
uniform signals used merely indicate
their presence, and tell nothing of
their course or direction. A sea cap
tain Of long experience has now de-
vised system which overcomes this
difficulty, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine. Four signal horns of diff
ferent tones are used, two sirens, a
shrill whistle. and a steam gong, all
Of which are operated by foot levers.
Each of these corresponds to one
quadrant of the compass, and is Oper-
ated only when the ships course lies
In that general direction. The four
divisions Of the quadrant itself are
indicated by varying the signals, as,
for example, one long blast, long
and short, long and two short, and
two long. A recording mechanism is
connected to the signal equipment and
serves as evidence in case of subse-
quent question as to the handling of
the ship.

ANCIENT CITY HAD BAR ROOMS
Discoveries in Pompeii Prove That the
Serving of Drinks Was Rec
ognized Occupation.

Three score years after the birth of
Christ the busy and beautiful little
city of Pompeii, overlooking the Bay
of Naples, with its 10000 inhabitants,
was dramatically blOtted out of eX-
istence by an eruption of the long
dormant Vesuvius, and for II CEN
turtles lay unknown beneath a thick
shroud of volcanic refuse, remarks
the Toronto Mail and Empire About
the middle of the Eighteenth century
the grave of the dead city was acct
dentally discovered and subsequent
excavations have slowly revealed the
rare treasures of departed civiliza-
ton. New excavations were begun in
1911, but with the great war of 1914
the world had something more impOr
tant to think about than POmpeii.
Nevertheless, the antiquarians con-
tinued quietly digging and discovering
fresh wonders. A few weeks ago the
London Times correspondent in Rome
wrote an interesting description of
the latest findings, among them being
a great frescO, with painting of the
- penates (custodians) of the city
Jupiter, Juno Mars, Minerva, Her
cules, Venus, Mercury Proserpine,
Vulcan, Ceres, Apollo and Diana.
But to the people of North Amer
lea the most absorbing discovery will
be that of a bar, or thermopolium,
where drinks were served out to
parched Pompeiians. There were
many terra Gotta .amphorae found
and an amphora, gentle reader, is a
sort of glOrified schooner" At the
end of the bar was small furnace
and a caldron with a lid for mixing
what Mr.. DoOley termed "hot vans"
Within the caldron the eXcavators
found the remains of some of the
liquid used.

WORLDS DEBT TO COLUMBUS
Expansion of Europe and Remaking of
the Earth Followed Explorers
Wonderful Voyage.

Few people realize how thinly great
regions were peopled four centuries
ago, or how many Europeans are living
outside Of Europe today. The United
States, Canada and Argentina contain
twice as much land as the home con
tinent. When white settlement began,
the land now comprised in the United
States may have contained 100000
Indians-that is the highest estimate.
Possibly the other two countries con-
tanned as many, an average of popula-
ton of one person to nine square
miles. Australia, with 100000 square
miles, held not more than 100000 per-
sons.
Today, those four countries support
white population of abOut 125,000.
600 The hot regions between the Rio
Grande and La Plata hold several mil
lions more. Europe has spread over
half the globe, while Asia has shrunk
well within her own borders-and all
this change dates from and depends
upon that voyage of Columbus.
White men crossed the Atlantic be-
fore Columbus, but they left no trace
of their voyage on this side. 1t is
passing strange that not even Euro
pean domestic animals were left here
the Norsemen had cattle whose bel
lowing frightened the natives. Not
till Columbus pointed the way did the
expansion of Europe begin, or the
wOr.l become truly one world instead
