Hip only purely ferula! state remaining 1
In Hif World, lli?' island ,of Sill k in the I
Dnglish channel.
Sin k is i |i?' f*li largest of I ho
(.'linnriel islands. It llyk 70. miles j
.south of Lngland and '_"J miles from
(lie eon ft! of France. It Is three and
a half miles long and onto and a half
mllcM wide; and yet, heeause of Its
iilimcriiiis hays and coves, It hits }{,*>
mlleH of coast. It Is the highest land
In the ('hannel Islands.
The ellffH, rising on all sides almost
perpendicularly, are covered with Innumerable
varieties of rock plants and
(lowers, while helow are samiy hays
*r\d wonderful cuyes, whose sea hewn
walls are covered with seaweeds and
sea anemones of every color of the
ralnhow. On the beaches may lie found
semiprecious stones, such as amethysts,
cats-eyes, and moonstones. The
Island Is not without minerals; at one
time, mines wore Worked which pro<1
tired copper, silver, antimony, and
galena.
The Interior of the Island Is undulating,
with valleys full of wild llowers,
andUln the spring the whole Is
covered with u hpi/e of golden gorso,
blue hells, and primroses. No venomous
beasts live in Sark, not even
a toad !
On landing fit the Sark harbor,
which Is one of the smallest In the
world, the visitor limls himself e.n- |
llrely surrounded by steep elilTs, and
the only means of access to the island
from there Is hy a road passing
through a tunnel "joo feet long, pierced
in the cliff, and thence by a sleep,
winding road which leads to the ceil- i
ter of the l^lnmlj where there are a
few small shops and four hotels.
The highway. continues to I.a Hon- j
pee, where the island is divided into j
two parts, (Jrent Sark and Little Sark, j
Joined hy a huge natural causeway of
rock nearly dOO'feet high ami 115 feet
long, across which runs a road Just

to cross at a lime. On one side of 1
this causeway is a sheer cliff; on the >
other a sloping way down to beautiful
sands. In spite of its minute si/.e, t
Sark has n history of no little inter- .
est. as Its written records begin in A
l>. .W>, and there Is ample evidence
of occupation in the Stone age. In
the Sixth century Saint Magioirr,
bishop of I >ol. in Brittany, established
a monastery here, the ruin> of whieh, .
including an old wall ami two chapels,

Here an order of iVJ monks flourished

rights and prtvltege*, and eventually
came to |he Cleat grandmother of the
present Dame of Sack, In l^*??
many years an artillery miIHUt was ,
maintained, consisilng of about out
hundred men; now all that m um lis
are a few old cannon, lying disused
and half hidden in bracken and gorse
on the ell IT*, while In the grounds of
the Dame's house is a line old bronze
.cannon which was presented to the
first Seigneur of Bark In lo?^ W
Queen Kll/.aheth, and hears an Inscrip
tlon to Ahat effeety ?
The flame's house, or "Selgneurle,
lies In a sheltered part of the lHla,,<
and, like all the old houses, is built
of gray granite. The original or urn In
part of the house, dating from lobn,
stands on the site of the old monastery,
and nq doubt many of the stones
used to build It were taken from tho
ruins. The fireplace In the hall bears
tho date 1075 and the sundial on the
outside 1085. The gardens are opened
to the general public, free of any
charge, every Monday.
Appeal to the Dame.
Great privileges are always accompanied
by grave responsibilities; -?o
that the Dame's home may be described
as the clearing house of all
Island controversy. U Is open at any
time to any Inhabitant of the Island
who wishes to see her for any reason,
and she sometimes longs for the lels|
lire of the 'tired business man" when
i often hot h sides of a dilllculty are
! brought to her for final Judgment. Disj
missions lake place on subjects which
range from whether bathers shall wear
beach pajamas .or whether the Chief
JtV'US shall pass a measure to deal
with the prevention of Infectious diseases
among cattle.
The Sack parliament is called the
Chief Pleas, and It sits three times a
year unless called by the Dame in an
emergency. The forty holders of the
farms allotted originally in 1 ">d">, plus
twelve deputies elected among the fest
of the Inhabitants, who now number
075, are members of the parliament.
To "Sarkltes" the king of England
Is their feudal lord, the duke of Normandy.
and he has no more loyal and
devoted subjects than they, who have
from time Immemorial been part of
the Duchy of Normandy, whose duke,
William the Conquefor, Invaded and
took England and was thereafter recognized
as king of England, but to
them has always remained duke of
Normandy.
In point of fact, the Channel islands
were never a part of England, but part
and parcel of the Duchy of Normandy,
and as such, no doubt, took part in
t)11. conquest of England. Bark is the
smallest... self governing part of the
British empire and the only part which
has no public debt: in 'act, it has a
substantial credit balance.
The language of the island olllciall.v
Is French, though everyone speaks
English, which is taught equally with
Fn ii. h in the schools, so that every-,
one is bilingual. Among themselves
the islanders always speak their own
-patois." vvldch is a survival of the
old Norman French as spoken at the
time of the Conquest. It is never
written and cannot he understood by
anyone not brought up in its midst.
Sink has a hoys' and a girls' school,
in regard to which it is Interesting to
note "that Sark was the first part of,
the British empire to adopt compdl-.
sorv education. The Dame inspects
both schools at examination time and
.,sks the children questions In French
and English and satisfies herself as to
iheir general mental progress.
Motor Cars Barred.
A law against the Importation of
motor cars has been passed and this
is strict 1> enforced The Panic believe
there should be one spot left

Primitive Methods Used
to Catch Trout, Salmon
Perba[is .the most primitive method
of netting fish In the world Is one
commonly practiced in remote parts of
the Hebrides, where sea troyt are numerous.
Heather is tied into bunches
by means of bands of rushes, and
these bundles are heaped, one on top
of another, across tiro middle of mjrool
in which many trout congrogatfc. Vint
stones are placed on the bundles to
keep them down ; a sort of. barrier and
hiding place for tlsh being thus made.
The stream and "tall" of tire pool are
then splashed by natives armed with
poles, when tin? trout (and it may bo
salmon) dash head-first Into tho loosoly-tled
heather bundles, which have
been placed with their "growing" ends
.outwards. When the fish nre once In
the fancied security of fire heather,
they assume stillness, and one by one
the si|gM0 are quietly removed, and
the flshcoiitaining bundles thrown i

- Antlers
Short-Lived
The antlers which deer of many
types bear so proudly are usually
short-lived, being shed each year and
replaced by a new growth. It usually
requires about 10 weeks for a stag
to grow a set of antlers, the growth
being from the frontal bone of the
head. When first sprouted, the antlers
are covered with a soft velvety skin
which remains as a covering of the
antlers until they are full grown. When
they have attained full size, a ring is
formed at the base of the antler, which
pinches off tiro blood vessel and tho
skin soon dries and falls olT. the stag
assisting tills process by rubbing his |
antlers ngaint trees to scrape the covering
off.'?Washington Star.
Butterfly Fish
The Now York Aquarium boasts the
first specimens of butterfly fish of the '
species pantodon to have found their '
way to this country. Some of these i
interesting freshwater lis Ires from j
Central Africa are on display there. I
Tire lilauientirt'y tail of the pan^adon ,
measures about two inches in length, 1
which Is about two-thirds as long as !
its black and while body, which Is
speckled with red. Not only do Its
beautifully marked tins resemble butterfly
wings, but it Jras long, antennaelike
feelers extending from Its ventral
fins. Little is known of the life habits
of these fishes.
Loftiest Weather Station
The loftiest meteorological station
ever operated in tire United States was
one at the top of Pike's peak, Colorado,
14,110 feet above sea level. This
post was established In 1878 by Cjii
slgnul service (then our national
teorologlcal organization), closed in
1SS8, reopened by the weather bureau
in 1.892 and closed definitely two years
later. The peak was diflicult of access
until the- cog railroad was con|
structed in COl, and the trials of tho
i observers Included mountain sickness,
I terrifying adventures with lightning '

Natural Gas Discovered
When Drilling for Salt
Natural gas was kiiown In Aalu age#
befofo It was put to Its present practical
purposes In this country. It appeared
hh IcakaKe from gas hearing
strata through ere vices In the ground,
and when lighted usually hy accident
was often worshiped as a inanlfeatutlon
of a tiro god It was thus known
In India, In China and In Persia, says
a writer In the Cleveland I 'lit fit healer.
In tho Culled Slates the first dis
covery of natural gas h,v drilling was
In Ohio and West Virginia in the early
Nineteenth century when surprised
salt makers struck gas while sinking
shallow wells for salt.
ltufus Stone, one Of the tlrst opcr
titers la tlie salt making business at
McConnollsvllle, Ohio, while drilling
for salt struck a reservoir of natural
gas strongly Impregnated with sulphur,
which caused tho driller to exclaim
they had ''drilled through to hell." At
tlrst tho well was considered a failure,
but the gas was later put to work to
holl the water for the salt making.
This use of It is said to have continued
for -10 years.
Other such accidental discoveries of
natural gas were occasional, and In
1820 the tlrst use of It for light was
made at Fredonla, Y. A hundred
street lights were fed there hy gas
which had been discovered hy seepage
through a mill stream. The first place
to ho piped for the use of natural gtis
for domestic purposes was Tltusvllle,
Pa., In 1872.
Modern Dairy Industry
Was Launched in 1860
The modern dairy Industry, one of
tho leading Industrial activities of the
country, was first duflnitely launched
us late as I860, when the lirst dairy
factory vvns started In New York state.
Up until that time, says a writer in
the Washington star, the production of
butter and cheese was a matter of the
individual farmer's choice. However,
so successful was the tlrst halter factory
established, the growth of the system
was almost mushroom like In Its
rapidity. -The .uniform quality of butler
and cheese, for Instance, produced
hy a single butter or cheese maker was
found more'satisfactory than the older
system of .individual farmers ur their,
wives turning out the product of their
own dairies.
The preserved milk Industry and nil
the allied Industries resulting from (he
production of casein and lactose followed
as a natural consequence of the
factory type operation in the dairy industry.
Murder Cases to Supreme Court
When Justice Ilolmes vvus appealed
to in August, 1927, to issue a stay of
execution in the case of Sacco and
Vun/.otti, lie pointed out that it was
a crime under state laws und tried
by u state court and that he had absolutely
no authority as a Judge of the
United States to meddle with it. In a
long statement regarding the legal aspects
of the matter, he added: "A
state decision may be set aside by the
Supreme court of the United States
If the record of the case shows that
the Constitution lias been infringed in
specific ways. An application for a J
writ of certiorari lias been tiled on the
ground that the record shows such an
Infringement ; and the writ of habeas
corpus having boen denied, I
am asked to grant a stay of execution
until that application can l>e consid- I
ered by the full court." The appliea- j
tion for writ of error or certiorari was
also refused, so that the Supreme j
court did not review this murder case.

When Woman Ruled China
Tze-Ilsl, the empress dowager of
China, was horn ut Peking in 1835. She
was selected for the imperial harein
when only 10, but by study and by
good fortune became the virtual ruler
of China In her twenty-sixth year. She
was the wife of llsien-Feng und on his
death became co-regent during the
minority of her son, the Emperor
T'ung Chih, and on ids death In 1875
obtained the succession for another
minor, remaining dominant during his
boyhood. She had much political wis- j
dom. but was unable to prevent the
I'.oxer rebellion. It resulted in her en- I
couragenient of the progress of mod- '
cruizing China. It was largely through
her influence that the opium traffic j
das discontinued. She died on November

Ends His Own Life
This Wednesday afternoon Frank
M. Catoe, of the Thorn Hill community,
ended his life by shooting
himself in the side with a shot gun,
committing the deed in his ear shed,
where he was found dead. ?Jo reason
is known why Mr. Catoe took
his life rather than despondency
caused by ill health. So far as any
one could tell nothing unusual occurred
to indicate that he contemplated
committing such a deed, as
he appeared to be ill his usual condition.
!
Funeral services were conducted at
Bethel Presbyterian church by Rev.
J. M. Ndal and interment was in the
cemetery on the church ground. Mr.
Catoe is survived by his widow,
threq sons, Grover, Bennie and J. T.
and the following daughters: Mrs.
