PIONEER OF PLANT LIFE IS FOUND IN ALASKA

Libewort, small delicate plant growing in the Alaskan lava beds, is advanced by scientists today as being the possible pioneer of all vegetable life. An expedition of National Geographic Society scien- lists found liverwort growing in lava beds where no other vegetation could survive.
 Dr. Robert Briggs, botanist, said that the lava beds of Mount Katmai volcano represent absolutely barren soil, with no traces of nitrogen so necessary for plant life; still the liverwort was found thriving there.

NOVEL WAY OF CATCHING FTSH-IF IT WORKS

Utilizing an entirely new princi- pie in deep sea fishing, a boat called the Charlotte is trying a novel ex- pertinent at Edgewater, New Jersey. Without using nets, and with a crew of eight, the inventors believe the vessel will catch a minimum of 20 tons of fish per hour
 To accomplish this, a two foot pipe is installed in the center of the boat. The forward end of the pipe runs into two openings, one on either side of the boat. Fish are directed to these openings by g large scoop net, lowered at the bow when fishing. When the boat is ready to fish, a centrifugal pumI throws "a powerful stream of water through an eight-inch pipe, out o a three-inch nozzle and into thC tube. A gate valve in the mail pipe between nozzle and bow il then opened, annd according to th' inventor the sea water-along witf the fish-is sucked in. The arti ficial current created by the noz gle helps to sweep water and fisl to the end of the pipe, where i spills out into an enclosed space.
 Twenty tons of fish per hour Well, maybe, providing the fish art swimming in schools and not too far from the surface.-Prince Ru pert Empire.
