Odd Methods of Fshing

There are many ways Of catching
fish, but one Of the quaintest methods
is that revealed by natives to the ad-
ministrator of New Guinea, on tour
Of the territory. At Hetan the ma
tives gave an exhibition of kite fishing
for gars. The kites, constructed of
pandanus leaf, and shaped like huge
birds, are flown from canoes, the mo-
tion of which makes the kites tails
skip along the surface of the water. A
spiders" web is attached in which
the fish become entangled, Often 80
fish are caught with one kite in a day.
The natives also stupefy fish with
drugs.

customer to come back and pay the

Man has valuable ally in his war
fare against the mosquito In a humble
aquatic plant that grows IN many
paris OF the United States, says POpu-
lar Mechanics Magazine. According
TO Cornell university scientists, It not
only prevents mosquito "wigglers"
from growing to maturity but actually
kills them. The specific property
that makes the plant deadly to the
pests has not yet been discovered, and
the plant itself is something Of mys-
terry. In some ways 1t seems to be re-
lated to the seaweed family, but in
others II stands alone In the plant

Oldest Christian Symbol

The fish is considered the oldest
symbol Of Christianity. When the
pagans became Christians they we're
afraid Of being prosecuted and put
to death by those who still believed
In pagan gods; so they invented a
secret sign, giving It the form of
fish. When they wanted to make their
new belief known to each other and
wanted to find out whether the man
with whom they associated was pagan
or Christian, they drew the sign of
the fish in the sand, and II the person
responded In the same way, they felt
secure to speak Of their new faith.
