ODD MATERIAL. FOR SCULPTOR
How Canova, One of the Worlds
Great Masters, Started on the
Road to Fame.

Antonio Canova, famous Venetian
sculptor, first attracted attention by
modelling lion in butter. When nine
ears old he was placed in the house
lold of nobleman. His grandfather,
A stonecutter, had taught him the
'udimentssof carving.
One day the nobleman was giving &
state dinner. The chief ornament for
he table failed to arrive. The host
vas in despair. The boy set to work
m huge piece Of butter and when
he nobleman beheld a nodded lion he
vas we'll pleased. The result was that
Antonio was sent to take lessons in
sculpture.
For four years he worked at his art
cell underneath monastery. AT
last he produced statue which sent
the art critics wondering. The Vene-
ian senate sent him to Rome to study
when he was twenty-three years old
He hit upon new and daring style
and for q time every one in Rome
;corned it. He worked for 20 years
in extreme poverty but at last his
work came to be recognized as that of
a master.

CATCHING FISH WITH POISON
Natives Of Borneo Have Peculiar
Method of Levying Toll on the
Finny Tribe.

Along the tributary streams Of the
Rejang river, in the independent state
Of Sarawak, on the island Of Borneo,
the native Sed0wans and Dyaks lave
unique method of taking fish, and
one much superior to dynamiting. Near
the mouth of creek barrier of lat
ticework Is erected. In this space is
left an opening wide enough to permit
the canoes to pass through. After the
boats so up the stream net is placed
across the opening. From 20 to 80
canoes engage in fishing. When the
point is reached where operations are
to begin, two small dugouts, which
have been tOwed, are emptied of their
liquid contents. This muddy-looking
l concoction is tuba poison, from the
plant coculus indicus. The poison is
] made BY pounding the root to shreds
md then mixing with water in certain
proportions known to the fishermen.
Quick results are obtained In about
| i've minutes stupefied fish begin com
| ing to the surface gasping for breath.
The numbers increase with every pass
| ing minute Standing up III their ca
noes the natives spear the helpless fish
With great rapidity. In half an hour
the boats are generally filled to ca
pacity. How potent the tuba poison
IS may be realized by the fact that
| within half an hour after few gallons
lave been poured in good sized
reek, fish a mile and half down
stream are brought to the surface in
considerable numbers. Where the
uba poison method is good is that the
,oison does not kill the fish-only
,tupefies them temporarily. Thus all
rot taken for food soon are normal
lgain.

GaribsIdi's Love Of Animals.

George Macaulay Trevelyan, author
Of an old book about the Italian pa
riot, tells this story about his love of
animals:
"The tenderest Of the brave, he took

out for the joys and sufferings of an

.hild, he had cried over the wound

an animal to be struck in his presence.
1t panied him even to see flowers
plucked, or bough wantonly broken,
During his dictatorship in Naples,
in 1860, he spent, in trying to remedy
the condition Of the cab-horseS, much
time which others thought he should
have given to tasks of government in
time Of crisis; and in the following
year, when he was the most famous
man in Europe, he thought it natural
to 60 out at night in the rain to seek
a strayed lamb among the rocks and
brushwood of Caprera."

ADVENTURE OF
