The Bucoleon Treasure," a ' novel by Arthur D, Howden Smith In 12 very body's Magazine, the following account of u gypay knife dunce la given : She seized a blazing stick from the Are and. ran round the circle, waving It over her head until ahe came to where Nlkku pat. "Ho, (Slorgl Itordu ! You who do not fear the knlfe-^-wlll you dance the knife dance with me?" Every eyo In the circle was Axed on Nlkku, for to have refused her Invita tion \\ould have been a deadly Insult, equivalent to a declaration of enmity toward her family and tribe. Similarly, acceptance of It amounted to an ad mission that ho considered her favor ably as a wife, without definitely com mitting him to matrimony. Nlkka did not hestltate. He stepped to her side. She slipped one arm round his waist, and with the other swung her torch until It showered aparka over the circle. "HI!" she cried. "HI I" echoed Nlkka. And they pranced round the Are while the music began an air so fierce ly wild that it made the blood tingle to listen to It. Then she flung down her torch and tore free from Nlkka's nrm. He followed her. She eluded him. Itound and round they tore, keeping step the while. Now she accepted him; now she rejected him. , At last he turned from her, arms folded, con temptuously unmoved. She wooed him with rhythmic ardor. He denied her. She drew her knife; he drew his. Byes glaring, lips pinched, they circled one another, feinting, striking, leaping, posturing. "Click !" The blade? "tr'JCk to* gether. "HI ! Ho P they cried. "Click! Click! Click r went the knife blades. "Ho! Ho!" they shouted. . The game was to see how near yon could come without cutting. To avoid hurt, the dancers required quick eyes and agile bodies. The blades flashed like meteors In the shifting light, wheeling and slashing and stabbing. In the beginning Kara forced the pace. Nlkka retired before her, rather than risk doing her harm. But slowly he assumed the mastery. His knife was always at her throat, and, active as she, was, he refused to be shaken off. She fended desperately, panting now, bright-eyed and flushed. But he pressed her. Their blades clashed, he gave his a twist, and hers dropped from her hand. He seized her,, forcing her back across his knee, knife upraised to strike, while the Addles clutched at one's nerves and the cymbals clanged with wicked glee. Mass Attack on Patient. An interesting experiment which may mark a new era In the history of medical treatment, Is being tried at 80 Brook street, W. In view of Its ex perimental nature, publicity was not sought but the venture is too Interest ing to hide, In the opinion of a Lon don Answers writer. The scheme is to secure the advan tages of a board of medical experts In one house, where patient* may be ex amined and have a diagnosis of the whole board's opinion. That Is to say, they do hot depend upon the opinion of one man, but have their cases dis cussed after their visit by fourteen specialists, representing various branches of the medical profession. When the patient's trouble has been diagnosed a report is sent to the pa tient's family doctor, with advice as to treatment. The waiting room of this miniature Harley street is a cheerful room, the walls and curtains being pale prim rose, the carpet a warm gray, and the furniture carried out tile blue brocadfe. Old copies of "Punch" are barred. Thus the trembling patient goes to his consultation In a spirit of good cheer. Plants Live to Oid Age. That common herbaceous plants can live to a great age is proved by the record of Mr. F. J. Allen of Cambridge, who has a fern over 00 yeara old. About 1872 he found his specimen on the Mendip hills, he Informs Nature, and transferred it to his father's gar den, where it has flourished ever since. In 1917, as it was in danger of being choked by surrounding shrubs, Mr. Allen transplanted his fern, and It is now as vigorous and as young In ap pearance as the original plant 50 years ago. As the plant was of unknown sge when found, and looks no older after 50 years, Its capacity for life seems indefinite. Gypsy Moth Coetly Visitor.

John 11. Jopboit's other occupa tion is fishing, WlifQ clils eiulip?ut aur geon wah slashing; u.ound (fit* other day with a new tro.ul rod It reminded J. Sto'dgell Stokes of u story 'to prove that the biggest ttsh Is not always hooked hy the most expensive tackle. Stokes and other Haverford Colle gians thought It would he nice when the late President Sharpies* was about to retire to give hint the finest bass rod, reel and line that could be bought The old scholar was duly grateful and accompanied by Mr. Stokes elected to christen his gift in a Jersey water where bass are almost as plentiful as the mosquitoes on shore, A barefoot native lad watching open-eyed at the unfolding of the beautiful rod, whispered to Mr. Stokes : "The butcher won't sell much meat tomorrow. '* Nothing, however, that l>r. Sharp leas could do would coax a fish to take the hook. Then the lad, waiting in silence for an hour, gravely cut a switch from u tree, rigged up a lino, took a rusty hook from his pocket, dug ah angleworm and without com ment proceeded to tlsh. You have already guessed the sequel, Tho boy soon had a string of bass, while the scholar and his friend, H man of high business qualities, caught not one. HAVE HIGH NUTRITIVE VALUE According to Bureau of Fisheries, Sea Mussels Are Not Appreciated as They 8hou|d Be, Officials of the bureau of fisheries declare that sea-mussels are, in a high degree, both patatabte and nutritious. The bureau goes farther and says that in view of the abundance of the mus sels and the ease with which they can be obtained, the neglect of thein for table use is wasteful. It points out that sea-mussels are found along the coasts of nearly all the northern half of the northern hemisphere, and that there are beds on the New England coast so extensive that the mussels could be collected dally by the ton. It adds that mony persons consider the flavor of the mussel superior to that of the oyster; that, moreover, mussels are In season when the oys ter Is out of season, and that they are more easily cultivated than the oyster. It admits that fresh mussels are most difficult to market, for they spoil If kept more than 24 hours, but asserts that If canned or pickled they retain their natural flavor for months. The bur^u recommends that such cheap and nutritious food be placed on the market. Studies Ancient Graces. Prof. J. J. Horner, archeologist of the University of Oregon, who has visited what is believed to be the burial ground of an ancient tribe of mound builders, near Albany, Ore., has pronounced the place one of the won ders of primitive Oregon. He said the finds made by Claude Peacock, a farm er, represented a higher type of civ ilication than previous discoveries In that section. f Professor Horner said the carvings on mortars, the stone pipe and other objects were examples of the highest type of stone workings found In graves of mound builders. He said the dis coveries Indicated that these mound builders, who antedate the Indians, had the same religion as the sun wor shipers of Mexico. Improved Water Wheel. A floating water wheel has be6n patented by an inventor in Prieska, South Africa. This invention is a great revelation, and promises to revolution ise methods of raising water for Irri gation purposes, generating electricity, etc. A large model Is undergoing Its trial in th? Orange river, and it Is ex pected that its final adjustments will shortly be complete, wherf the wheel Will be given an exhaustive trial. T*ie invention is so constructed that it can rtse or fall with the level of the stream, delivering water through hose pipes or through a revolving universal rod structure. It can float in the wa ter or rest on firm soil, according to the depth of the streem, and automat ically disposes of all obstacles drifting against it. 8lap at Modern "Education."
