MAY RESUME CORAL FISHING
Expected Revival of Industry as a Re-
suit of Systematic Exploration
of the Banks.

The coasts of Alglers 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 abun-
doned. Now, however, this industry
seems to be reviving in Algiers and it
is expected that it will be resumed in
Tunis. \ systematic exploration Of
coral banks has been under way and
the best methods of collecting the cor
al have been discussed. The old way
which was very Wasteful, consisted in
the use of various forms of grappleS,
combined with strong nets, which were
swept over the banks, tearing delicate
structures apart, and recovering but
small portion Of the broken coral.
The employment Of divers is advocated
as more economical, both in the quality
of the harvest and the preservation Of
the banks. Divers can descend to q
depth of about $50 feet, and good coral
is seldom found at greater depths.

GAVE WORLD POWER TO ROME

Known Land,

In the early days Of its hiatosy the
republic Of Rome consisted Of a city,
but wars Of conquest extended its
dominion over the whole italian pen
insula. For centuries only the citi-
zens Of Rome had vote in the cleo
ton of the ruler. The republic was
a conquering state, and extended Re-
man power as far north and west as
Spain, the British isles, Belgium, and
Germany, and as far east as the Black
sea. At first the army consisted Of a
levy Of citizens. AS Rome came to
need more than one army at once and
warfare grew more complex a stand.
ing force was built up, and it was
largely because Of its superior equip.
nent and discipline that the armies
Of the barbarians. often superior In
numbers, were defeated and crushed.
The unit Of the Roman army Of that
time was the legto, translated into
English. the legion. 1t correspondent to
a regiment in our army but was much
larger, for Roman legion contained
from 1000 to 1900 men. They were
heavy infantry with some cavalry. The
legions comprised the frst-class troops
while the auxilia, or auxiliaries, were
the troops Of the second class.
At the time of the death Of the first
emperor, Augustus, in the year ID A.
D., the Roman army consisted Of %
such legions. This heavy infantry lost
much Of its Importance when the bar
! barian invasions altered the character
Of ancient warfare and made cavalry
more important arm than infantry tn
the late Third and the Fourth cen
turtles.
The word legion came to express
any large number with the accessory
ideas of order and subordination.

HELP YOURSELF


"Minht n is IN the world to overcome
How often have you thought of this
when finding fault with the world in
general because you thought your luck
was hard? It's safe venture to guess
that most unhappy persons never even
consider their own positions from this
angle,
Too many blame others for their
own misfortunes when they could find
the fault at their own doors. Too
many consider their luck bad when
1t is better than they deserve. If
they recognized their own short-com-
ings or tried to overcome them when
acknowledged, they'd frequently over
come their worst handicaps,
If one starts out to get somewhere
he isn't likely to reach his goal as
quickly as he desires If he sits by
the side of his pathway and hopes for
some miracle to happen which will
bring him 10 the desired destination
without climbing up the hill.

overtaIe the lazy loiterer and give him
lift. But the chances are against
such good fortune when the pathway
follows IN upgrade course. For few
stop to pick up passengers While try
ing TO reach the top on high"
The same rule applies all along the
path of life. Just as one is likely to
meet disappointment If he depends on
q lit by the road, is he almost certain
to lind his progress tagging If he waits
for his fellowmen to shove him ahead.
Those who become disgruntled with
their lot usually need TO remember
that their own Indifference, inaction or
the over-estimation of their proper
sphere. are the greatest stumbling
blocks in their paths.
Ii one helps himself @ little, the
world will always help him more.
