- ~SOME GREAT FISHING Len A. Banta Gives Deseription of King Fishing Where He is Located " in Florida e

In a letter to the Banuer Len ABanta who isl ocated for the winter at Pass-a-Grille, Florida, says: . = . - “The greatest run of king fish that has ever been known are now in the Gulf between shore and the Gulf stream. At times ‘these fish will strike at any thing thrown In the water and even kill and eat each other. We threw out a jug—ana the Kings struck at it and knocked it about for a half hour. It happened to be an empty jug—but the fish did not know it. These fish are overgrown or giant mackerel—they aro hard to catch and worse to handle and in. a little while if they are biting it becomes hard work instead of sport. Weather fine, ‘temperatire 80 degrees : ; Yours L. A. Banta.” :

‘Mr. Banta made a catch of 35 of these fish which weighed 271 pounds. More than 5,000 pounds of the fish were caught during the run. Mr. Banta asks that the Banner keep coming as t.hJ] family has not lost interest in Ligonier. . Mother ‘Banta is growing strong and well. oo :

SEEMED TO BE SUPERNATURAL

First Sight of Airplanes Caused Consternation Among the Natives of Philippine Islands. :

When, in order to carry out a sur vey; airmen visited Joho, ‘Sulu archipelago, Philippine islands, it was the first time the natives had seen an airplane, and they were greatly terrified, gecording to a story in the Westminster Gazette. : y Some of them were convinced that the machines were sent as emissaries from Allah, and othérs: believed the occupants of the craft themselves—the pilots and the observers—were both all seeing and all powerful. It was impossible to convince them otherwise, and the airplanes were viewed with dread and as supernatural things. Some of the natives even went so far as to declare the planes were dragons, flown out of the South seas, and destined to wreck vengeance on all bad Moros, according to an old Arabic legend. There were thousands of Moros in the wilds of Mindanao who had never set eyes on a white man, and to whom the pilots, able to soar aloft like the birds, were 'altogether outside the. sphere of ordinary mortals. The afrmen were regarded as objects of great; wonderment and to be held in the, greatest awe. i

ENGLISH LANGUAGE IN PERIL?

“Creeping Paralysis,” According to Henry Van Dyke, Is Threatening | the Speech of the Nation. ‘ The real perils of the English language today, in my judgment, lie not in expansion or in contraction of vocabulary. but much more in a certain noisy carelessness. or sloppy indifference; a failure to recognize that thought is desirable not only before speech but also in speech; an apparent numbness to the finer sense of. words, writes Henry van Dyke in-the Yale Review. The effects of this creeping paralysis may be observed constantly in streets and shops and ballrooms, and frequently in books and newspapers. For example, a distinguished historian writes that he proposes to “assess” a certain character when he has no intention of taxing it, but simply means to estimate its worth. A :popular novelist makes his hero leave a room “precipitously,” yet without throwing him down the stairs or letting him leap from a window. An | ardent advertiser proclaims -the “slogan” of his ready-made clothing, although his purposes are all pacific. Even a philosopher, a platonist, writes that certain plays “intrigue” him, when - evidently ‘' he means not that they werplex him but merely that they interest him. s '

“Scotland Yard.” 3 Scotland Yard is the headquarters of the Metropolitan police of London and is situated within a stone’s throw of the houses of parliament in so*dthwestern London. Formerly the 'department was housed:in a group of buildings surrounding a courtyard near Charing Cross. It derived its name, Scotland Yard, from a palace assigned from the time of Edgar :to Henry 111, as the residence of the Scottish kings when they visited in London. The present head is Sir Edward Henry, commissioner. The chief is appointed by the crown upon recommendation of the heme secretary. The yearly cost of Scotland Yard, according to the latest published statistics, is $15,000,000. Sir Henry is the originator of the system of fingerprint as identification, - which is rapidly superseding the Bertillon system in all countries. ' bt ]

Powder to Lay Road Dust. ! Calcium chloride, a chemical powder, is being used to lay the dust on the stretches of the Prince of Wales high~ way between Brockville and Ottawa. The experiment is being carried out by the department of highways with & view of determining the relative values of the chemical and of oil for this purpose, and two stretches of roadway, at Spencerville and Manotick respectively, are being treated. The chemical absorbs and retains moisture and forms a coating over the surface of the road. Its cheapness as opposed to an oil treatment is said to be considerable and as both treatments have to be repeated frequently the department hopes to effect a material saving.

~ Wonderful Surgery. ¢ Remarkable surgery was performed on the third mate of the liner Ruth Alexander just before she arrived in Seattle, Wash, The mate became ill when the ship was 80 hours from Seattle. Two physiclans diagnosed the illness as acute appendicitis. A cabin door was used for an operating table, and the doctors performed the operation with sewing scissors, two pelrs of forceps and a darning needle. The incision was sewed up with embroidery silk’'and cat gut. The operaton required only 14 minutes. The mate was taken to a Seattl¢ hospital when the ship docked there, and is recovering. | i :

Island Rich in Verdure. Bt. Lucia, the largest of the Windward islands, is twenty-four miles long, and at its widest is twelve miles in’ breadth. It has an area of 233 square miles. The island is mountainous, and its highest point is 3,145 feet above sea level, while the land is mostly covered with trees: and the rapidly growing vegetation of the tropics. Castries, the capital, has a fine port. In 1021 the number of inhabitants of St. Lucia was 51,505.

AGE MATTER OF COMPARISON Actual Passing of the Years Reaily Hae Little to Do With: Coming v of Decrepitude. : John R. Voorhis, president of the board of commissioners of New York city, recently celebrated his ninetythird birthday by doing his usual day’s work. He arose at 4:80, his usual time, and after his usual hearty breakfast walked as usual to his office more than a mile away. - : - Being ninety-three doesn’t mean anything unusual to this man whose span of life has been two-thirds as long as that of the American republic, . '~ Age Is, after all, remarks Thrift, greatly a matter of comparison. A few days before Mr. Voorhis’ birthday he said that, while walking briskly to his office one morning, he noticed a seventy-five-year-old man feebly hobbling along the street, tottering with every step and seeming to have a terrible time to navigate even at the slowest pace, _ ; “It was a great pity,” commented Mr, Voorhis, on this sad spectaciza, “to Bee such a young man so nearly dis.abled by old age.” i Yes, it's largely a matter of com‘parison. : : i At sixteen, forty is old age; at nine-ity-three, seventy-five is youth. The ‘actual years count for naught. More ‘and more we find this out. :

'CALLED ON FOR MUCH WORK Amount of Labor Performed by the . Human Heart Is Aimost Beyond l Power of Description. ~The heart of one man in a lifetime pumps %s much blood through the body as the blood weight of the- 10,000,000 men killed during the war, according to Dr. J. Plesch, a professor in the Berlin Medical sehool, an authority on blood circulation and the first man to perfect a system -for measuring the blood content of the human body. - . “The heart of & man weighing 133 pounds and living sixty years,” he said, “pumps during the course of his life 161,500,000 quarts of blood. The World war cost 10,000,000 lives. Estimating the average weight of a man’s body at 133 pounds and the weight of the blood content at 5 per cent of the total, soma 121,400,000 quarts of blood were shed during the war.” | S Professor Plesch used this illustra. tion to show how much more powerful is this marvel of nature than the de ‘struction which mankind with the most ingenious instruments of warfare wag able to inflict upon itself in five years of desperate effort.

T Ask Me Again. | i A few days ago a friend called ma up to ask how to make a mint julip, writes Russell Seeds, in the Indianapolis Star. On being assured.that he was not .joking, but really had thq makings, I scented possibilities and sailed in with enthusiasm. I told him how to crush the ice fine and pour it into the tall glass, then put In a couple of sprigs of smashed mint and ‘the granulated sugar and add a stift thimble of genuine bourbon and shakq it up, and then decorate the top with a bouquet 'of txfeshe mint and watch until the frost had formed on the glass, ‘ “Thank you so much! Come down some time and we'll have one' to gether.” & . ‘ - But do you think I let him get away? On your life, no! They have -slippéd me that “some’time” stuff fox the last time. I have seen too many ;enehantinx visions of house partieg ‘and week ends fade and die on thg E,wa!tlng list. I thanked him profusely and told him I'd be there in fifteen minutes. And I was! : o

’ Jap or Chinese. ] * The eldest son of the mayor of Jef fersonville, who is about nine years old, is a shrewd observer and no doubi marks what his elders say. He can however, find his own way of express ing himself. He was in a. newspapel office a few days ago when an eastery “drummer” came in, showed his wares and said he would call again. A dis cussion ensued in the office whether the visitor was a Chinese or Japanese when Hiram spoke up: “He said h¢ would come back. If he does, h€ is 3 Chinese, but if he doesn’'t come bacl you can know he'is a Japanese.” Evih dently the Chinese have an enviably reputation, in Hiram’s judgment, fo) “truth and veracity.” — Indianapolij News. ; . | The Gambler’s Paradise. | It looks as if half the population o'j New South Wales and Queensland wi be getting its Mving presently by gambling in one way or another with ‘the other half. ' Dr. Arthur, M.L.A., of the former state, remarked recently that “in spite of the financial depres sion and unprecedented unemploymeng though all productive industry lan guished 'last year—-factories -closed, mines ceased working and land-settle ment nearly came to a halt—the re turns from the tax on admission tq racecourses, from; the totalizator and from bookmakers’ tickets have all in creased.—Sydney Bulletin.
