Indiana senator. that that has been

that Senator Borah withhold his
amendment on the ground that the
administrations course would be

Senator Borah asked whether the
administrators negotiations were

Watson replied. What I said was
that 'feelers' had been put out; that
the foreign nations were being
sounded with view to finding out
whether the United States may be
helpful. and that, in my opinion. it
might lead to conference: that

that. I speak purely for myself as

But the stpator does know that
the feelers have been put out?" SEN

Watson replied.

The coasts Of Algiers and Tunis in
Africa have long been famous for
their production of coral; but some
years ago coral fishing on these
coasts rapidly diminished, until it
was abandoned. Now, however, this
industry seems to be reviving in AL
giers and it is expected that it will
be resumed in Tunis A systematic
exploration of coral banks has been
under way and the best methods of
collecting the coral have been dis
cussed. The old way, which was
very wasteful, consisted in tho use
Of various forms Of grapples, COM
bined with strong nets, which were
swept over the banks. tearing deli
cate structures apart, and recover
ing but small portion of the broken
coral. The employment of divers is
advocated as moro economical, both
in the quality Of the harvest and the
preservation OF the banks Divers
can descend to d depth of about 1870
feet, and good coral is seldom found
ia greater depths.

are dangers to farm animals and to
those who Craze on the range. These
warnings are widely distributed by
telegraph and telephone to large CEN
ters, but further dissemination de-
wolves on those interested. The prob
lem has been largely solved in some
of the states, particularly Missouri,
by telegraphirg the warning to one
central point in each county, where
arrangements are made to telephone
information of the warnings to each
community interested.
When a warning is received stock
men arrange to Craze their stock near
shelter, or in such a direction from
shelter that the stock will drift to-
ward it when the anticipated severe
weather comes. A modification of this
service consists of sheep-silearing and
lambing forecasts and warnings. In
early shearing and lambing districts
shearng is delayed or newly shorn
sheep, ewes and young lambs arc kept
near suitable shelter. such as coulees,
where they will receive protection
when wind, snow or cold rains are
expected.
