Floorrof Sea- Littered 'With
Wreckage Causing Loss to
Fisher -Fol);:.
North Sea fishermen are having any-
thing but a Happy time of it, says nn
Finglish newspaper, Altllougli the
keels of fish is larger and more pleuti-
ful than it Hila been for thirty years
c
past, there is much beside, 6511 lying
about on the great Dogger banks, and
the , amount of gear lost, in conse-
quence, is a very serious matter.
If a trawl gets caught in a sunken
wreck there is nothing for it but to
cut the warp -and the loss. All sorts
Of relics of the sea fights of the past
four years ,.are being fished up. Only
the other day a trawler brought up a
rusty machine-gun which proved to
have belonged to one of the many
pirate U-boats which our men sent to
the bottom.
It Fetcherf$137.50.
The trawl net, remember, is like a
great purse which is dragged, for
hours on end, slowly along the bot-
tom, and which gathers not only fish—
principally soles, turbot and plaise—
but also a mass of every sort of rub-
bish that litters the fiber of the sea.
Among the rubbish are sometimes
found objects of real interest or value.
Small pieces of amber, for instance.
Amber is the fossilized gum of a tree
which once grew over the forgotten
country e'11ich is now the broad North
Sea, and fragments are often washed
up on our East Coast after storms. A
year or two before the war, a Lowes-
toft trawler found in her het a lump
of amber weighing just on two pounds
--the finest pieee discovered for very
many years. Tho lucky finder sent it
to Loudon and sold it for $137.50. •
In 1906 another Lowestoft trawler,
when working on the northern edge of
the Dogger, got her trawl hung up in
what at first her people thought must
be an old anchor. There are plent''
of these at the bottom of the sea. But
by degrees the object was worked
loose and came up.
Worth Thousands of Dollars.
It proved to be the right hand tusk
of a mastodon. It was eight feet long,
and so heavy that it took three men to
lift it. How many million years ago
its original owner lived it is impos-
sible to say. The find was sold to a
museum for seven pounds.
Bones of extinct animals are quite
commonly found in trawls. Unfor-
tunately, the fishermen generally
throw thein overboard as rubbish.
Trawling in the Channel, a Brixham
craft brought up a queer olcl vase,
black with age and long immersion in
salt water. The skipper kept it as a
curiosity, and when he returned to
port, stuck it up in his room, on a
shelf. Some years later a visitor who
happened to notice it, offered him a
sovereign for it. The offer was ac-
cepted; he took it home, had it clean-
ed, and found That it was solid silver,
a very fine specimen of French six-
teenth century work, and worth sever-
al thousand dollars.
Ali Ostend trawler had a strange
experience a few years ago. Working
off the Belgian coast, sne began to
wind up her net, when her men found
that she had an extraordinarily heavy
capture. To their astonishment they
found it was another net.
The Message In the Bottle.
But this feeling was nothing to their
anazeinent when it was discovered
that the net was their own old one
which they had lost in a sudden storm
just a year previously.
On one occasion, off the Isle of
Wight, a trawler's crew got hold of a
torpedo, and managed to bring it
ashore, It was one that had been lost
during practice, and they claimed and
obtained the regular $25 reward from
the Admiralty.
Another fiver was more easily earn-
ed by two Presto's fishermen of Etretat.
They found in their net a bottle care-
fully corked and sealed which, being
opened, proved to contain a sheet of
paper on which were these words:
"$25 will be given to whoever brings
lir sends ine•this scrap of paper. Ad-
dress—Greenwich Street, New York."
The bottle had been dropped over-
board by a New Yorker on his way
across the Atlantic,

Obeying Instructions,
As he weighed out the sugar the
grocer's boy whistled lustily.
"Don't you know that it is very rude
to whistle while you are waiting on. a
lady?" said the elderly customer, se-
verely.
"Well, the guv'nor told me to do it
when I served you," explained the boy,
"He told you to whistle," said the
customer in great surprise.
"Yes'm! He said if ever we sold
you anything we'd have to whistle for
the money."
How to Handle Ditches.
Many farmers have asked how to
handle ditches that are spoiling good
land on their farms. For small ditches,
where the land is not steep, a good
way .is to fill them with brush, corn
stalks and the like, Stake the brush
down so floods will not wash it out.
Flood waters will soon fill the ditch
with dirt,
For larger ditches it is better to
build dams in them, arranging tile
through each dam so that water will
flow through the tile after it reaches
a certain height behind the dam, The
ponds above the dams will soon be
filled with dirt which settles out of the
water. Just above the dam the tile
should turn upright and project nearly
as high as the dam.
Where washing begins in a narrow
gulch on a hillside, run terraces out
from the middle of the gulch along
the sides of the hill. Where a terrace
leaves the gulch make a ' small dam
to turn the water behind the terrace.
The terrace ridges should not run ex-
actly on the level, but run slightly
clown hill. The water should run
some distance behind each ridge and
then run over the ridge in a broad
sheet. This will prevent washing. If
the field is to be cultivated, the terrace
ridges should be broad and flat so that
cultivating implements can be run
over them. Another.nlan is to plant
honey -locust in the ditches and then
sow sweet clover. These will catch
drift and prevent washing,

satisfied with them. I have recom-
mended them to several of lay friends
who have also used them with bene-
ficial results." The Tablets arc a mild
but thorough laxative which regulate

A Double Explanation.
One morning a woman walked into
a village grocery store with a majestic
stride. It was easy to see, by the
sternness of her expression, tiiat she
was somewhat disturbed.
"This,” she sarcastically explained,
throwing a package on the counter, "is
the soap that does the washing itself.
It's tate soap that snakes washing a
pleasure. It's the soap—"
"That isn't soap, madam," interrupt-
ed the grocerymau, examining the
package. "Your little girl was in here
yesterday for a half a pound of cheese
and a half a pound of soap. This is
the cheese."
"U -m, that accounts for it!" said
the woman as the light of understand-
ing began to glow. "I wondered all
night what made the Welsh rabbit we
had for supper taste so queer."
Really Heavy Food.
The British Tommy takes his hard-
ships lightly if we are to believe half
the stories that came back from the
front. One such represents two artil-
lerists discussing some trench pud-
ding that they had looked forward to
as a treat, but that came to them half
cooked and soggy.
".`This 'ere puddin' ain't half 'eavy
stuff, said Alf with a grimace.
"Oh, that's nothing!" replied Bill.
My misses made some pudding one
day that we couldn't eat; so she gave
it to the ducks. .A. few minutes later
a little neighbor boy knocked at the
door and said, 'Misses Jones, yer
ducks have sunk!"

Never Cramp Your Mind.
Tt never pays to cramp up a good
idea so that it can't get out. Even a
woodchuck will dig for dear life if you
ping up the hole where it went in.
Sometimes we think we have hatch-
ed up something wonderful. The
thought rattles around in our upper
storey till we think nothing but a two-
ineh auger will let it out. But we find
a pegging -awl is plenty big enough.
We give our wonderful idea vent.
There is a little p-sh-h, and that is all
there is of it.
But what if that is so two or three
times ? That little Lit of a thought
did somehing worth while before it
got out. It pushed and crowded .around
till it made our thinking -cap larger.
Thought always does that. And if we
keep thinking and trying and using
the thoughts we have, the time will
come when we will really have an idea
that will come out with a bang. The
good thought of to -day is tile forerun-
ner of a better one to -morrow.

World's Deepest Well.
One of the seven experimental bore-
holes being sunk for oil in Derbyshire
has now been drilled to a depth of
nearly 4,000 feet, according to latest
reports.
There is a well in South Africa that
is over 5,000 feet deep, and there are
at least a score in the United States
whose depths vary between 6,000 feet
and 7,000 feet.
The world's deepest well, however,
is situated in the neighborhood of
Gobelins. Boring was started in 1892,
and continued intermittently up till
the outbreak of war, when the extra-
ordinary depth of 18,000 feet had been
reached, at a total cost of $200,000.

cident "took a chance"—and probably
wished he had not.
While in the army, says a writer, I
was accompanied by a sergeant who
tried to give the impression that he
was one of the brainiest men in the
army.. On pass one Sunday, in a cer-
tain town, a young woman asked us
to her house to have a cup of coffee.
On arriving, she introduced us to her
mother, who made excuses in regard
to her appearance. She then remark-
ed, "I'll go and put on the perculator."
The sergeant said, "Oh, you look all
right the way you are."
