Zanzibar with Arabic cbaraetero upon Its tall. The flli was not one fi a large haul, but was caught by n single fisherman, who brought It to the fish market. There It remained for some time, having no purchaser, ns It was o strange fish nnd mo tlmt hurt never been seen before In those wu-" ters. Finally on Indian of the Beet called "Memen" purchased It and. on Hie strange markings being noticed, it was tuken to a widely-known Arab scholar, who, deciphered the inscrip tion. It was afterward taken to the sultan, who also recognized the word bur. SJslThat night 8,000 rupee was oITered lor ;the fish nnd refused, and on the following day 5,0(10 rupees was re fused, according to Scientific Amer ican. The original price jmlil fur the flsh was fi pice (about 3 cents) and it was eventually decided to have it pre served. For this purpose it was taken to the government inliomtory, whore It was treated with formaline. It' has lnce been placed on public exhibition. There are two distinct inscriptions on the tail, one on each side. On the ene side i it reads "Lnlllaha Illnlah" ("There Is no God but Allah") and on ! the other "Shnnl Allnh" ("A warning ent from Allah"), There Is no sus picion of anything in the nature of a fake about the matter and the mystery is so complete that no explanation of the strange phenomenon Is fortheom- tag. The Arabic lettering is perfectly plain and the discovery has caused wonderment throughout the Mohum- tnedan community of Zanzibar. . It was identified as holaearrthus iemlelrculatus, Cuv. et Val., a widely distributed Indo-Paciflc species of chaetontltine. An authority on zoology Considers the markings as falling with In the limits of normal variation of the species. EXERCISE OF WILL NEEDED No Reason Why Women Should Not a Obtain a Maximum of Physical . Strength and Power. Women can obtain greater physical strength and power so soon as they determine to do so, and adopt a dif ferent mode of living. There is abso lutely nothing in the woman's organi sation that forbids it, as we are finding out more and more dally. Many young women are too lazy to grow strong. They cannot walk a dozen blocks, or do anything tlmt calls for the slight est physical strength. Why? Because there. Is any Inherent quuilty in the 'Woman's body forbidding it? Not at all. Because they never have done it. There is no other reason on earth. The w,omen who are growing strong er mentally sud physically can smile at the objectors who tell them they cannot do this or that, and answer by doing what they are accused of being . Incapable of doing. But the more tim id and younger -ones, who yet hesitate to venture into new fields of activity in the face of opposition and ridicule, need the assistance of professional opinion and the encouragement of. those who have gone before. Montreal Herald. . Old City of Tlmgad. '. Tlmgad is an ancient Roman city, forgotten nnd burled on the slopes of tile Aures mountains. The desert winds heaped the market places and ruiiifu Bireeis niui Binning buiiu, uic Jackals and birds of prey made the stately forum, with its crumbling col umns, their haunts nnd hunting grounds. For centuries Tlmgad lay de serted and forgotten, unvlslted except by occasional wandering caravans. In recent years, however, the city has been pnrtlully restored nnd exca ated by French architects and areh tologlsts. The columns of the facade of the capltol have been re-erected j the sand cleared from the mosaic floors of the ruined baths, whose colors are as fresh and bright as in the old dnys of Roman splendor. The arch of Tra jan over one of the two main streets stands ns it did in the dnys of the great emperor, the founder cf the city. The nmphlthenter, typically Roman, held at least 4,000 siiectatora In the days when gladiatorial combats were considered respectable. Htr Golden Circlet. There are several theories as to the origin of the wedding ring. , Here is one of them : Before the time of mints and coinage the gold money In Egypt In hn fmti .if a Htll- 11U11 ally worn on the finger as a convenient meUlOO or carrying uuu sine nKvuif.. The men nnd women, therefore, had nil their gold or wealth made into rings, end for the majority of people these rings were no larger than the plain gold bands of today. Thus, when the groom placed the ring on the bride's finger he meant exactly what the mod ern service makes him say he did ac tually endow his bride with all bis , worldly goods. . r " J ' ' Feminine Diplomacy. 1 "Yes, I finally got rid of him," she said, "without having to tell him in so many' words that I never could learn to love him. - I didn't want to do tliat, because he's an awfully nice fellow, and I should have been very Borry to cause him pain." "gow did you manage it?" her friend asked. "Wh, you see. he's subject to hay fever, so I decorated the house with golden rod whenever he sent word that be was coming."
