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.

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. heaven's 'most precious gift to .,man She brings out all that is good in him, and helps to sup pt'ess the' evil." • Then there was a short post- script in a differel`t handwriting:.

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... . Contests Wise ---- Md Otherwise Even if you never find a needle in a haystack, you can, at. any rate, have a lot of fun.look- ing. A hundred excited women searched frantically for a two- inch gold needle in a two -ton haystack in New Zealand re- cently,, At••:tbe, end pf three hectic minutes andtwenty-six-'sedbsids, the winner screamed in trittniph, held the- needle aloft and won a sewing -machine. ' It- was just the latest taa'ist in publicity's progress, an amusing sporting event that drew thou- sands of spectators. In Amsterdam a cash prize is given every year to the man who can make a pipeful of tobacco last the longest,'Recent- ly, eighty veteran smokers took part. The winner kept his. pipe alight for ninety and a half minutes. A Frenchman won a prize the other day for barrel - rolling.

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: sand solutions a year have been rolling in. All have been wrong, 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 to the zoo?" "No iii„gar: afraid I haven't."
