TAKE FISH WHILE STUPEFIED
Natives Of the RI Islands Have Most
Peculiar Method of Sharing
the Finny Tribe.

An extraordinary means of catching
fish is practiced by natives Of the FIJI
Islands. The bait is "toova," native
vine or creeper. Having pounded
lengths of vine into pulp, the fisher
men paddle out over coral reefs. In
about 10 to 10 feet of water they dive
and fasten bundles of "toova" around
rocks and crevices where fish are
known to be.
In n few minutes all fish within n
radius Of six to eight feet turn over on
their backs and float up to the sur
face. They are scooped up into the
boats, and soon their tails begin to
wiggle. If thrown back into the water
the fish return to normal condition.
The poisoning of water In this coun-
try is not uncommon. The weed buck.
eye, when trampled and bruised, will
contnminate n whole pond and stupefy
the fish. Cattle are sometimes NOR
tally poisoned by drinking nearby wa
ter into which they have trampled the
roots Of water hemlock.

An American Romance

Once upon time there was a poor
boy who became a lawyer and poll
tician in a small town in a Middle
West State. As a result he became
connected with the business end of ma
tional politics, an assiduous and an
able servant of a great political party,
In the course of events the little
lawyer-physically, of course - from
the little town became postmaster gen
eral. For a while he contriyed to live
upon his cabinet salary in Washington.
Soon came certain business men
with a gunnysack of gold and with a
proposition to pay the cabinet officer
a whacking salary. The publicity
agents said to the public $4,000. At
any rate it was more than the pay OF
several cabinet officers, or maybe the
pay of the whole cabinet.
The little lawyer from the little
town put his hand into the gunnysack
of gold and felt it. 1t was real gold.
He pinched himself. He said to the
business men, after due consideration;
My country may need me, My coun-
tryl May she be always right, but
right or wrong, my country! Never
theless you get me.
In this true story we have an Amer
lean romance quite as wonderful as a
story from the arabian Nights En-
tertainment." 1t is a story which will
be told again from time to time, and
truly. Yet there are grumblers who
say that a young man has no chance
in America nowadays.

TIMES CHANGES IN ARCTIC
Fossil Plants Prove That the Region
Once Was Mild and in All Probs-
bllty Frostless.

The ancient vegetation Of the Arc
tic region, as is shown by study Of
Its fossil plants, indicates that It's eli
mate was once very unlike that which
prevails there now. Instead of con-
sisting of a handful Of small plants
struggling for life amid snow and ice
In a scant, almost perpetually frozen
soil, Its vegetation was abundant and
luxurlant, and included ferns and
palmlike plants, that grow only in a
mild and probably frostless climate.
This vegetation fourished in the Arc
tic region from at least late Paleozoic
to middle Cenozolc geological time,
millions Of years before man existed.
Although these lands are now so in
hospitable and are rarely visited, the
United States geological survey has
gathered a large amount of Informal
ton concerning their fossil tloras.
A study Of the coal beds Of the Cape
Lisburne region has incidentally dis
closed many fossil plants. These coal
beds are extensive and are the only
known commercially valuable mineral
resources of that region A little coal
is occasionally mined for vessels that
are short of fuel, which, as there Is no
harbor lie offshore and perilously load
on few sacks of coal by means Of
lighters.

nMusIcal CalIsn of Birds.

1t Is strange that ornithologlsts and
musicians who give such credit to the
rooster, Bob White and whlppoorwill
do not include among highly distinctive
bird calls those of the crow, cardinal
and catblrd, for while most ordinary
persons cannot identify the calls Of the
robin, wren, bluebird, finch, bunting
and the like, 1t is not to be believed
that anybody, once having heard the
"caw" of a crow, the Snake" Of
the catblrd and the "chuck chuck
chuck" followed by long clear
whistle which the cardinal gives out,
could ever fail thereafter to recognize
these calls. But It may be that those
calls do not fall within the classified
tion of what is said 20 be the musical
calls"

Early Astronomical instruments.

The earliest known astronomical In
struments of German make have re-
Gently been described by DR.. ]. Hart
man Of Gottlngen. They belonged to
the philosopher and astronomer, Cardi-
nal Nikolaus of Cusa, who lived from
1401 to 1854 and comprised a "tor-
quetum," for measuring the longitude
and latitude of the celestial bodies, an
astrolabe and two celestial globes.
A note has been found in the cardi-
nails own handwriting, stating that he
purchased three Of these instruments
in the year 1444, together with 16 as
Economical treatlses, for the sum of 3S
forms. Doctor Hartman believes that
at least two Of the instruments were
made by one Nlkolaus Hybech Of Err
furt, who was born in 1870.

Both the pro labor advocates Of
punitive" overtime and the antilabor
protestants, in discussing a late ruling
of the United States Railroad Labor
Board, consider punitive overtime
as a matter affecting the rights Of en-
ployers and employees solely. 1t often
is the case that the highest payers for
overtime labor are stockholders and
the travelling public.
II a railroad worker should have a
ten-hour day, or an eight.hour day, or
a forty four hour week he should have
it because establishing a maximum
safeguards him from imposition and
makes him happier and healthier
man in addition to making him more
efficient during his working hours
than he would be otherwise. He is
not entitled 10 a maximum in snch cir
cUmstances that his legal working
hours will exist on paper only. When
men are worked overtime their en-
ployer is treated puniti vely as payer
Of wages, the stockholders are exposed
to losses due 10 overworked employees
whose Overtime work Is done at
fancy prices. The traveller is subject
to possible loss of life because the le-

In India, under The caste system, Ci-
vision of labor infinitely is relied upon
to give everyone work. In America
reduction Of hours is relied upon TO
prevent anyone from doing more work
than he should and that helps make
the work go round, theoretically. In
practice il may keep some men out of
work, when work is not plentiful, and
keep others at work beyond reasonable
hours, at punitive" pay. The men
work under conditions which make
their highest priced work not only
much less valuable than it should be

WHY CALLED "OLD DOMINION"
Two Explanations Have Been Given
for Nickname Bestowed on the
State OF Virginia.

There are two explanations as to
how the state Of Virginia came to be
called "Old Dominion" The one CIV
en- In the following account is gener-
ally regarded as the most plausible:
"In Capt. John Smiths History of
Virginia, edition Of 1929, there Is a
map Of the settlements Of Virginia,
which at that time included New Eng
land, as well as every other part OF
the British settlements In America.
He there calls our present Virginia
'Ould Virginia'-the word old being
80 spelled at that time-in contradis-
tinction to the New England colony,
which is called New Virginia. Here,
then, we have the word 'ould,' the dis
tinctiye word of the title. Now, we
know that, from the settlement Of the
colony to the Revolution, every act
of parliament, every letter of the king
to the governor, designated Virginia
as the colony and dominion of Vir-
ginla. Here is found the other word,
and the change in common talk from
'Ould Virginia. TO old Dominion was
easy, imperceptible and almost inevl-
table"
The other explanation is that the
title "Old Dominion" was bestowed
upon Virginia by Charles II, because
the colony had refused to recognize
the government of Cromwell, and af-
ter the execution of Charles l had
transferred its allegiance to his son.
In gratitude for this loyalty, Charles
II caused the arms Of Virginia to be
quartered with those of England, Scot
land and Ireland as a distinctive por-
ton of the Old Dominion and an in
dependent member of the United King
dom.

will soon be In operation In Denver,

A company has been organized for
the erection Of a plant near Denver, In
which the new process will be given
a trial on scale that would prevail

erer Of the process asserts that 1t has

that the trials win fully demonstrate
its worth and value to mining districts
which have large quantities Of these
so-called rebellious ores.
Experiments in the treatment Of re-
bellious ores also are being made in
the Spruce Gulch district Of the Black
Hills. Those who have witnessed
tests Of the process on small quanti-
ties Of rebelllous ore are very hopeful
that 1t will prove a success when large
quantities Of this class Of ore are be-
ing treated.
