Viking Fishermen Cling

Fishing is now one of the most

Writer Would Combine
Harmony and Business

Wanderers in the Home park at
Hampton court are said to have been
startled by hearing the gangs of
workmen employed in renovating its
bitches and copses break into song.
How far have we strayed from Mer-
rie England, when even highwaymen
and hangmen sang at their work
We may well pine for return to
the days of Peachum and Macheath.
Today errand boys whistle, grooms
hiss through their teeth and taxi
drivers groan, but only sailors, SOL
diers on the march and Welsh min
ers sing at their work. The rest of
us confine our singing to the privacy
of our baths. Behind locked doors
we outsoar Chaliapin, but the pres
ence of one fellow creature is
enough to reduce us to dumbness.
1t was not considered strange that
the old-time milkmaid crooned at her
task. Who expects the modern typ
list to follow her example? 1t is
frequently complained that noise is
the curse of civilization. Why not
turn it into a blessing by making 1t
harmonious? When every man sings
no din of traffic will be heard. "'Tis
a sure sign work goes on merrily,"
said Isaac Bickerstaff, when folk
sing at it," 1t is high time we for
sock the idea that work is a pen
ance to be performed in silence in a
black coat.

September, 1889, with three boxes Of
thirty-eight caliber, long, central-fire

A little later Shad went with Col

that Mr.. Bonfield had sold his stock

e. Petty Of New York, an expert on
revolvers and ammunition, who ex-
amined the weapon. He weighed its
bullets and counted their grooves.
He said: ''This revolver was called
in its time the American Bulldog
Thirty-eight. It was manufactured by
the Winchester Repeating Arms COM
pany. They ceased to make and sell
it in 1890. The weapon has this Pc
culiarity. When it is fred the trig-
ger must be released-the trigger fin
ger must cease to press it-before
1t is cooked for another discharge"
While the sergeant examined the
bullets, Colonel Blake made note Of
this illuminating fact.
"These cartridges were undoubtedly
made for the Winchester-Colt revolt
ver," the sergeant resumed. 'They
are thirty-eight caliber, long, central.
fire cartridges, with a square base.
The weight, the shape Of the point, the
form and faces Of the cannelures leave
no room for doubt"
Colonel Blake learned that the trade
in northern New York bought their
supplies Of Winchester arms and am
munition from a store Of the COM
pany in Utica.
On his return the colonel stopped
at this store. It's record Of sales for
some years prior to 1890 were still on

GAS USED IN WARFARE OVER
 400 YEARS AGO
Old Indian Secret Reveals Something in History
 of Colombia

BOGOTA, Colombia, July 29.- Colombian history records probably the first use of poison gas in war fare, more than 400 years ago. Strangely enough, the gas was. used against Germans.
 The victims were Federmann and Alfinger, hired generals of the Spanish conquistadores. It was they who led an expedition from Vene- 2uela in 1928 in search of the "Golden Man" of the Chibcha h. dians who founded Bogota.
 Follow Enemy
 As they neared their goal they were attacked at Suesca by the Chibchas with bows and arrows. The heavily armored invaders re- pelled the attack and, to make their victory overwhelming, made the mistake of following the Indians into a forest.
 Padre Francisco Aguado, in his History of the New Kingdom of Granada, written in 1874, describes what happened:
 "The Indans attacked Feder- mann and his troops with odorous and poisonous winds"
 Effects of Poison
 The priest added that three sol- diers died and that the others had to withdraw, partially blinded and suffering headaches.
 Archeologists, working at Sues- ca on an artificial mound, which they believe to have been built by the Chibchas, recently were routed when workman broke into a pipe or tank and poisonous gas, believed to be artificial, escaped. The work man died in three hours.
