But to state that the fish was a sea bass and weighed 36 pounds imparts an interest to know more about it. They went about eight miles from South Island and were trolling their hook at a depth of between 75 and 100 feet when it was gripped with force that told, and for the next 20 minutes they had a real time to subdue their game, but succeeding in landing the fish and bringing it home to confirm their story of their success.?Kershaw Era. ?""

The gorilla is usually depicted as a savage beaat which lurks in jungles, ready to attack, dismember or carry off human prey. The gorilla's bad reputation might be traced to tales of natives brought back before explorers made a careful study of the anthropoids, say* a bulletin from the Washington, l>. C., headquarters of the National Georgraphlc Society. One stock tale is that, the big apes hide in the thick foliaged branches of trees above jungle trails and seize passersby.. Other terrifying tales deal with ferocious, unprovoked chargos of the animals. Writers and artists have exaggerated -these tales until the gorilla's name is a synonym for a savage monster. 'However, students of African wild life have exploded, many of the tales and have branded .the beast as a rather good natured jungle dweller. Gorillas usually move in bands. When man approaches them they move on. The mother gorillas lead the retreat With their young riding pick-a-back, while the huge males remain between tho family and the pursuers. , One famous African explorer who spent many months on the African gorilla trails, aveTS that gorillas charge men only when forced to protect ' themselves or their families; whon aroused from deep sleep by the sudden appearance of a man, and when the family has retreated until it is fatigued. In the latter case the male gorillas give the pursuers ample warning of their impatience by assuming a sullen attitude. There are two gorilla lands. The coast gorilla ranges the forests along the coasts of southeast Nigeria, Camerouns, French EquWfcrial Africa and Rio Muni where the Washington zoo specimen was captured. The mountain gorillas range a smaller area on the slopes of the mountains in the neighborhood of Lake Kivu, eastern Belgian Congo. Hunters /have diminished the gorilla bands until there now are only about 3,000 of the anthropoids in Africa, but throughr the efforts of Carl Akeley and other famous African explored, the Albert National Park was established and the big apes are no longer facing extinction. The "ferocious" gorillas are largely vegetarians. Their choicest foods are bamboo shoots and wild celery, which, with vines and small twigs also are the building material of their nests on the ground or in the trees. The huge males of tree-dwelling gorillas often remain on the ground. Thus they protect their families from the leopard, the gorillas' aggressive enemy. When bamboo shobts are not available, the anthropoids ^trip the tough shell from sturdy bamboo stalks and devour the tender inner portions. Bamboo, wild celery, and other tropical plants and trees have been the gorillas' defense against man. They form a formidable wall through which the human eye can penetrate only a | few feet. Progress in gorilla land often can he made only by way of tunnels which the anthropoids have opened. *" In the formidable jungle growth ono often comes suddenly upon a band of the huge ape*. When surprised, the big males may ereot, beat their chests and display a hideous open mouth while emitting shrill cries. The erect posture and shriek, according to some authorities on the habits of gorillas, is not a display of ferociousness but is a warning to all gorilla land that unwelcome strangers are in their domain. Nevertheless the startled animal is a terrifying sight. j Standing erect, the huge males attain a height of more than five and | ore-half feet and often weigh more, than four hundred pounds^ The fe-j males are smaller. Gorillas seldom j stand erect, however, they usually j stand or move on all fours. Gorillas do not thrive outside of | the African gorilla lands. There are; eight in the United States. The old- : est captive now is five years old. Nol gorilla has ever reached its sixth birthday in this country.

Indians Found * Richmond, Va., May 17.?Skeletons of several hundred 'Indians and their trinkets, some of- them scientifically interesting and valuable, have been brought to light in the Lewis creek section near Staunton, Va. Excavations by P. C. Manley and! the Rev. David Glovier, both of j Staunton, indicate approximately 500 skeletons are in the Indian burial ground, which is believed to have been used before civilization came to the Shenandoah Valley. In one layer of earth they found the skeletons of Indians apparently of rank and title. They were buried at regular intervals, the graves or | mounds, being highly and beautifully decorated. With the skeletons there were J found more than a dozen different j kinds and shapes of shells, bead and other trinkets. In some instances, the beads still were draped about the skeletons. The body of Dr. William Robinson, of Newark, -N. J., was found in a Danville, Va., hotel room Saturday. It is believed that he committed suicide. E.
