The Brussels Post, 1954-8-11, Page 7'tying Eggs
Goo Stoles Gas
In a Bent Acts case a landlord
eomplained that his downstairs
Want filled the narrow hallway
With barrels of beer, "Re keeps
'eying he's planning a party,
Ike landlord explained, "but he's
been planning that party now for
twelve months)"
In another case a landlady was
arguingwith her woman tenant
Over chimney -sweeping trouble
when the tenant suddenly picked
up the stove and threw it at her.
Claiming damages, the landlady
asserted that red-hot coals fell
Out of the stove, scorched the
floor and burned her leg.
In a third affair an eighty-year-
old landlord testified that in or-
der to avoid his ground -floor ten.
sults he could not use the stair-
case, Instead, he always left his
forst-floor flat by a ladder into
the garden and climbed home the
same way.
Atter weighing the balance of
hardship, the magistrates gave
him an order for possession.
But when an irate landlord hit
his tenant On the head with a
hammer, magistrates decided this
was going too far and sent the
house -owner to jail for malicious
esault, A landlady who slipped
into her tenant's rooms to fry
eggs was similarly charged with
(stealing gas; but a landlady who
admitted biting her tenant's fin-
ger was cleared of a charge of
aasaul, She explained that the
lady tenant had pulled her hair,
spat in her face and grabbed her
throast first.
These are just a few sideline
conflicts in the world's most wide -
Spread cold war, the never-end-
ing feud :between landlord and
tenant, One well-meaning land-
lord, gave his rural tenants piped
roans water so that they would
not have to use a well. Then he
added a bathroom, electric light
And an automatic heater, but
found he still couldn't raise the
rent, unless his tenants agreed to
the improvements. They didn't
Agree — and refused to payl
So it would seem that Can -
Ada is not the only place where
andlord and tenant clash. They
• save their troubles in Britain,
-loo. Wouldn't it be nice to be a
bird? Or a fish!

Underwater Mint4
Going underwater goggljt g
the Red Sea presents a remark-
ably abrupt change in scenery,.
I recall! particularly a place seine
thirty miles south Of Chardaga
called Sharks' Bay where this
change impressed me the most.
At one moment I stood On the
hot sands Of the barren desert;
the next moment I found my-
self in one of the most beautiful
places I had ever seen—a re-
freshingly cool place, a submar-
ine coral garden of brilliant col-
ours and teeming with life,
In Sharks' Bay the desert ter-
rain drops suddenly beneath the
sea and is transformed into a
short fringing reef. My first look
at this unusually gorgeous reef
is still a vivid picture in my
mind. The edge of the first shelf
of the reef dropped down at a
sharp angle to a ledge about
twenty feet wide some twenty-
five feet below me. This ledge
in turn sloped off into a deep,
richly blue water, toward a bot-
tom I could not see. Almost
every spot on the reef was over-
grown with corals of the most
graceful, delicate and unsual
forms, Some grew like clusters
of pink and lavender flowers,
others were round and solid with
winding channels on their sur-
faces making them look like the
denuded, convoluted brains of
mammals—small ones like- the ;•
brains of marmosets, monstrous`
ones that seemed to come from
the heads of Goliaths. Some of
the coral grew like branches of
a tree or antlers of a deer, some
had straight surfaces like table
tops standing on a single centre
leg. One type of coral sat in
little sandy patches on the ledge
below looking exactly like the
heads of yellow mushrooms. .
And you could see a thousand
fishes at a glance. There were
dozens of varieties of small fish-
es, glittering sea gems that Lived
in close association with the cor-
als; a school of hundreds of little
emeralds, another of rubies, and
another like a. band of escaped
convicts with black and white
stripes on their bodies and pel-
vic fins edged in sapphire. These •
three types of damsel fishes all
headed into branched corals
when 1 approached them. Here
they could be captured by mere-
ly breaking off a branch of the
coral and shaking it over a small.
meshed net. But tiny topaz and
opal blennies crept into deeper
crevices where enemies ' could
not reach them,`
The heads of larger fishes
peered out from alcoves in the
reef: yellow -and -brown -speckled
sea basses, coppery squirrel fish,
black and green moray eels.
Schools of whiskered, yellow and
pink goatfishes went by on the
ledge below, their delicate chin
barbels feeling in the sand. Stur-
geon, butterfly, balloons, and
box fishes swam all about me.
Big green parrot fish, keeping a
good distance away, went by eye-
ing me suspiciously while stop-
ping periodically to chew off
chtmks of coral with their strong
"beaks" that made an audible
(ruching sound. — From "Lady
With a Spear," by Eugenie Clark.
DISAGREEMENT
A woman was writing to her
son, congratulating him on his
engagement. "Your father and 1
rejoice in your happiness, my.
darling boy," she wrote. "It has
long been our dearest wish that
you should Marry some good'
woman. A good woman is.

Then there was a short post-

Gobi Locked In
- With Deady
Snakes
One sunny afternoon Iast
March, the gay citizens of Bail -
lett) were celebrating the riotous
festival of Mardi Gras. Surging
through the streets, a procession
of dancing figures' in, masks. and
fancy dress twirled and capered
rotmd the giant effigy of King
Carnival.'
Suddenly shrieks 'of 'terror rose
from where the booths of travel-
ling salesmen were. grouped, But
the revellers round Xing Carni-
val's effigy drowned t e ;fright-
• ed cries with their laughter.
One of -tie travelling booths
was' a si1hI le. caltVas tent,, fram-
ed by painted posters. announc-
ing. . , Miss . Monica, snake
charmer .Inside it, illuminated by
a. powerful spotlight, was a glass
'case enclosing a lovely' girl in
a 'bathing ebstunie.'
Spectators were crowding
round the ease when suddenly
they recoiled in horror ... hush-
ed. For two snakes a huge
huge black python and an In-
dian viper—were seen sliding
towards the girl.
Calmly, she began to caress
the python, which suddenly
awoke from its torpor and lung-
ed at the viper nearby. As the
viper struck back, the specta-
tors stood petrified,
Without hesitating, the young
girl tried to separate the hiss-
ing, swaying snakes. She seized
the python in her bare hands,
It wriggled convulsively ... and
turned on her, Before she had
time to ward off the attack the
python had darted a lightning
blow at her face.
Miss Monica managed to pro-
tect her head. But the serpent
continued to attack her relent-
lessly,,,and the Indian viper, ally-
ing itself with Its former enemy,
joined in and planted its veno-
mous fangs in the thigh Of .the
young girl.
A doctor, called in haste, ad-
ministered an antitoxin, saving
the girl's life, though her un-
protected body bore the marks
of nO fewer than 52 snake bites,
Next day the travelling booths
had moved on to another town.
And among them was that of
Miss Monica, the matte charm-
Concealing her wounds be-
neath a layer Of pink grease-
paint, she lay in her glass case,
still wearing her wax -doll smile
while she stroked and caressed
a black python and an Indian
viper... .

Even if you never find a

It- was just the latest taa'ist in

In Amsterdam a cash prize is
given every year to the man

Some of the biggest money
prizes, however, involve brain-
work. Can you solve the theo-
rem of Fermat? Most of the
world's present-day atom scien-
tists have tried for a $150,000
prize offered by the Academy
of Science in Vienna to anyone
who can settle this abstruse
mathematical problem. A thou:

An American salesman recent-
ly bequeathed $35,000 to the per-
son who best answered a riddle,
"Why does the -four-lettered
word yoke' cddfine'and answer
all the sociological meaning of
man and earth?" Unable to see
the joke, his son has begun a
lawsuit, claiming that the will is
incapable of performance.
Several American museums,
.too, are offering $25,000 td any-
one who discovers the well-pre-
served carcase of a mastodon, or
prehistoric elephant frozen solid
in ice. Most provocative of all,
the French Academy of Science
has' $15,000- ready for the first
person to send a signal to any
of the planets and receive a re-
ply.
The prize was left to the
Academy as a legacy by a
wealthy widow sixty years ago
and now the possibility of a re-
ply by radar -echo has sharpened
the keenness of scientists.
Meanwhile, interest accruing
on the sum is allowed to accu-
mulate for five years, and is
then given to the scientist who
has added most to our know-
ledge of the solar system.

One Way To Get
Cheap "Eats"
When a Washington man open-
ed a new restaurant in one 01
the capital's busiest streets a.
few weeks ago, he thought of a
novel idea for attracting pat-
rons quickly.
A notice in his window an-
nounced that diners would be
charged according to their
weight,
"You will be carefully weigh-
ed when you enter the restaur-
ant and again when you leave,"
said the notice. "Then you will
be asked to pay the difference.
For instance, if you weigh one
pound more after the excellent
meal we give you, you must pay
five dollars for it. If you gain
only half a pound, you must pay
two and a half dollars, and so
on."
On the first day malty custom-
ers were attracted and every-
body, including the restaurateur
seemed satisfied.
On the second day in walked
a burly stranger and he was
duly weighed He weighed near-
ly 200 pounds, But after an en-
ormous meal, he was found to
weigh only 150 pounds, which
puzzled and annoyed the restaur-
ateur. Although the stranger
had had a free meal, he insisted
on being paid several dollars be-
cause he had lost weight. Rather
than risk a scene, the restaura"t
owner paid up.
After the stranger had left,
the restaurateur, discovered he
had dumped some heavy weights
under Iris table before: stepping
on to the weighing machine af-
ter his meal.
SUGGESTION
"Waiter!" called the irate cus-
tomer.
"Yes, sir?"
"Waiter, have } ou ever been

"No iii„gar: afraid I haven't."

customer' said, "You'd get a kick
out of watching the Turtles zip—
by."
