WHEN INDIAN FISHES
ITS WORK, NOT SPORT
Naturally Lazy, He Uses the
Sure and Simple Method.
He has three ways of doing It—with
a gill-net, with a dip-net, and with a
Raff-hook. The familiar hook and
line of the white man he sqorns as
being too slow and entailing too much
hard work* What the Indian wants
is the fish. He cures nothing about
the sport of thing, nor the thrill
of landing a 12-poupd beauty with an
eight-ounce rod and a slender silk
line; leave that to the crazy white
man who has nothing else to do. The
Indian wants the fish, and the easier
he can get them the better he likes
it, and the more time he has for sleep.
His favorite way of catching salmon
'is by the use of the gill-net, since this
method leaves him the maximum
amount of time for his previously men
tioned sleep. A gill-net Is a straight
piece of netting about twelve feet long
and'flve or ?lx feet wide. One side has
wooden floats and the other heavy
leaden weights, so it will hang 'per
pendicular in the water. elthet
end is a stone anchor to keep It
stretched out.
Setting the net is an easy process.
He chooses an eddy or'a deep pool In
the river and floats by in his canoe,'
with the net piled in the stern. When
the proper spot Is readied he kicks
one of the anchors overboard. This
settles to the bottom of the river and
pulls the net out the stem as the
canoe floats leisurely on. When" all
the net Is out of the canoe, he kicks
the pther anchor overboard and his
work is done. His labors over for
the day, the Indian wends his home
ward way sinks into repose until
the morrow, leaving the net to catch
his meal, says Adventure Magazine.
The water of the Nooksack river is
never very clear; it is muddy.
This makes U hard for_ the salmon to
see, and thereby brings about their
undoing. They swim around in the
.eddies and pools In search of food and,
If a net is there, they are sure to run
into it head-first In the course of»a
day or two. The meshes of the net are
not quite large enough to let an aver
age-sized salmon through. Ilegets half
way through, and then tries to back
out As he backs out, the meshes of
the net catch under his gills and he
stays there till the owner of the net
pulls him out.
Next day the Indian cbmes back in
his canoe and pulls the net up, usu
ally finding four or five salmon in it.
These he either takes home or hides
ifhder a log so he can tell his wife
where to find them. With this supply
of fish, he betakes himself to rest and
does not.stir abroad again for a week
or so, or until such tine as his larder
la empty.
Only Camp/ire 'Smoke
At the recent state O. A. U. encamp
ment In Frankfort, the annual camp
fire was the big public event and cre
ated much interest. The meeting was
held In Howard hall, the Frankfort
High school gymnasium.
One woman who lives a short dis
tance from the hall did not attend.
Her husband returned home about
nine o'clock, while the gathering was
still in session, and as he opened the
front door, remarked: "I smell smoke,
something must be burning."
His wife looked up from the book
she was reading. "I've been smell
ing that," she said. And then a light
spread over her face and with all se
riousness she said: "Oh, I know. It's
the campflre."—lndianapolis News.
How This Fish Walkt
i As waters Inhabited by climbing
perch dry up, the existing puddles be
come overstocked, and the fish leave
their old home, says Nature Magazine.
They depart by v hundreds, traveling
over the land, scattering In all direc
tions. Then the gill covers are fully
extended and the pectoral fins spread
out. The former are bent outward
like a Joint, the pointed ends seeking
a firm hold; by a twisting and turning
movement of the body the creature Is
Jerked forward. Then the spines Of
the gill covers again seek a firm hold.
In this way (he climbing perch Is
able to njove quite rapidly. If the fish
do not find water, they will dig them
selves Into the mud ana can be found
at n depth of one and a half feet

THE ALAMANCE GLEANER
Crater Brings to Mind
Ancient Idea of Hell
The news that Halemaumau, the
hottest crater of the Kllauea vol
cano la Hawaii, is active again and
has thrown up. black dust clouds to
a, height of 7,000 feet, reminds me of
my visit tQ the Pit of Everlasting
Fire. That Is what the nnme Hale
maumau means, and it corresponds to
Its description, writes G. L. D. Jones.
The Japanese liner In which I was
making a ten-weeks' voyage from
Hongkong to Valparaiso (incidental*
ly, I believe, the longest passenger
voyage in the world) not # only called
at Honolulu, but at 11110, and from
Ililo—a port in the making—t went
with the few other white passengers
on board by motor car to Kllauea and
Haleinaunmu.
Our chuhffeur was a Japanese of
a Japanese-Hawaiian mixture. In his
capacity for driving I had little con
fidence at the start/ -and out of his
hands we were all very glad to get
at the finish, more especially as the
motor car Itself had seen better days.
It had been warm when I left Hilo
(In whites and a sun-helinet). When
the car stopped I was shivering with
cold—on the tropic line, with an ac
tive volcano at my feet. There was
a guest house for volcano visitors who
wished to stop the night. All around
was a black desolation of waste
ground, striated by solidified tracks of
lava from former eruptions. We
picked our way down along a well
trodden path and suddenly we saw
Halemaumau.
We were at the end of the world,
and below us, was a vivid representa
tion of the ancient Idea of Hell.
The pit was glowing with fire, red
hot fire. It was cut up into sections
of fire. Picture to yourself pools of
red-hot fire, now suddenly agitated
into fountains; rivers of red-hot fire,
now overflowing their banks. Ten,
twenty, thirty pools and fountains and
rivers all blazing at once, all working'
at red-hot pressure, some suddenly be
coming even more excessively angry
than before. That 1$ Halemaumau.
The City of David
Prof. It. A. S.,Macallster, describing
recently the work carried on on the
eastern hills to the south of Jerusalem,
said that there *was undoubted
dence of the occupation of the site by
men of prehistoric! time. They had,
however, discovert*! the "bottom por
tions of the wails of the city that
David had taken from the Jebusltes.
Although it was not wise to theorize
before the work was completed, they
had found indications that pointed to
a spot in the northern wall being that
which David hreaclieft when he took
the city, subsequently .screened with a
wall that he built to coveMhe damage,
and finally properly repaired by Solo
mon.
A strong bastion, with walls over
twelve feet thick, Indicated that it
might be the tower from which the
Jebusltes mocked David, saying that
only blind men and cripples would
be necessary to hold the walls
against him; The excavations also
had brought to light other 0 things
which Illustrated or amplified Rlbllcal
references to David. The work was
as yet far from complete, only about
an acre of ground having been taken,
but sufficient had been done to show
very attractive possibilities In Its com
pletion.
As She Understood It
After the usual Saturday romp the
children gathered in the drawing room
for some music.
As bedtime dj-ew near the mother
wOd: "Now, children, choose a hymn
to finish up with and, then you must
all say good night."
"Let's have 'Ere Again Ojir Sabbath
Close,'" said" a little girl of seven.
"Well, I think that would be more
suitable' for tomorrow night," replied
the mother.
"Oh, but you always air our Sab
bath clothes on Saturdays," said the
child.
Research Work Needed
It Is not safe to say that any Intel
ligent research work Is useless. With
so overwhelming a proportion of the
inhabitants of the earth giving their
eager attention to the accumulation of
wealth which perishes, -we can well
afford to provide the opportunity for
the exceptional man here did there,
to Investigate any subject to which his
enthusiasm directs his attention. If
he succeeds In discovering truth, the
Investment will be of Imperishable
benefit to the human race.—William
Wallace Campbell, President of the
University of California.

GRAHAM, N. C., THURSDAY. AUGUST 21 .1924
Grirn Relics of Fight
of Long Centuries Ago
• Many indeed have been the revela
tions of archeology concerning "Un
happy, far-off things and battles
long ago." But British explorations
at Jerablus—the Carchemish of Jere
miah's prophecy—told a tragic tale
with unusual clearness. Some fine
limestone blocks projecting from a
cutting of the Bagdad railway first
aroused scientific curiosity, and exca
vation quickly showed that they
formed the rear wall of a fine, spa
cious villa.
At no great depth under the sur
face the men encountered a thick
stratum f of burned ashes. There was
no trace of later construction, and
the site, which was the most com
manding In the outer town, would
hardly have been left unoccupied
while Carchemlah was a city; so the
excavators assumed that the fire that
destroyed the house was that which
■wept the whole place about 600 B.
C. Very soon the assumption re
ceived startling confirmation, says tl&
Youth's Companion.
Outside the walls they found a few
bronze arrow heads; on the porch
there were a number of them, and on
the floor of the, rooms under the ashes
arrow heads of bronze and iron turned
up in hundreds, and with them lance
points and broken sword blades and
men's bones and all the signs of a
fierce struggle. Always the weapons
lay thickest In front of room doors,
and there the arrow heads were often
bent or broken, as If from striking
against the, bronze casing of the door
timbers. It needed but little Imagi
nation to follow the fight as the de
fenders were driven back from room
to room until they were overwhelmed
at the last.
Near by was found a beautiful
Greek shield bearing a Medusa's head
of the finest workmanship. How
came such an object among the rulne
of Carchemish, which was destroyed
In the same campaign in which Oazu
fell? Wise scholars remembered that
Herodotus mentions spoils from Gaza,
dedicated by Pharaoh Necho at the
Temple of Apollo at Branchldae In
honor of the lonian mercenaries who
served In his ranks. The excava
tions at Jerablus have led perhaps to
more Important Results, but to none
more dramatic than this, which brings
together In one burnt and ruined
house at Carchemish two writers so
far removed from each other as He
rodotus jind Jeremiah —the Greek
"Father of History" and the Jewish
prophet.
Ancient and Modern Culture
To compare ancient Egypt, or the
Valley of the and all they have
bequeathed to us, brought to light
from time to time by excavation,
with material discovery, such as
■team, electricity and the like, through
other scientific channels would be
ridiculous. But archeologlcal dis
coveries as the harnessing of those
powers to our uses are the only real
advantage other than the science of
medicine, that modern civilization may
claim over that of the ancients.
Again, though we cannot become inti
mate with those ancient people In the
living, by archeologlcal research work
we can become Intimate with their
dead and the material they have be
queathed us. Aa a result-of such
research, we find that culture in the
way of intellectual development and
the arts In general were In those most
ancient tlmqp in many ways higher
than they are today. In fact, mod
ern progress in the mechanical
sciences and Industrialism generally
are largely responsible for the com
plete eclipse of spontaneous and un
conscious artistic production. If there
by we get such ultimate results as
cubism and futnrlsm, then archeolog
lcal research will show that the arts
are best without our mechanical and
industrial program.—Howard Cartttt
