FISH FOR GULLS AND PETRELS Those Birds, as Well as the Albatross Are Frequently Taken With Rod and Line, Curious though it may seem, It {s a fact that birds are caught with rod and line in many parts of the world. The pastime Is declared to be almost as fascinating as fishing. Gulls in Newfoundland are caught in this way in large quantities, In New England fishing for gulls and petrels is an im- portant Industry, The method of bird fishing Is prac- tically the same as that of ordinary fishing. Two men go out In a dory end throw pleces of cod liver on the water. When large quantities of birds have been attracted to the spot more cod liver is thrown out on a hook. This the birds greedily swallow and thus fall easy victims, Albatross are fished for in the same way off the Cape of Good Hope. A piece of pork is attached to a long line and thrown overboard. The bird will eye it for a long time, gradually and cautiously making toward it. Sudden- ly he will seize it and hold it in his beak. When he discovers that he Is caught he will sit on the water and vigorously flap his wings. However, he will be drawn into the boat and made a captive. Albatross fishing is good sport, aince 1s easy enougn. ‘sne moment, now- ever, he swims forward the hook will drop from his beak unless it Is skill- fully manipulated, and the bird will find himself free. MADE BY FRENCH SCULPTOK Interesting to Recall That Houdon Crossed the Ocean to Model Bust of Washington. Historical reminiscences, awakened by present relations between France and the United States, recalls that in the early days of the American re- public Fyench artists made the first sculptural representations of Amer- fean men and events. America had portrait painters, as witness the sur- viving portraits of Washington, but no “statuaries,” as sculptors then called, of equal merit. The med als commemorating the Revolution were struck France, and Houdon crossed the ocean to model tle bust of Washington nec- essary for his statue of the American general and president. It was a grave question whether the sculptor should clothe the general in modern costume or dress him, after the art fashion of the time, in the classic garb of a | Roman, and, as the story comes down, | it took the combined opinions of Wash- ington, Jefferson and Franklin to se- cure a statue of the Father of his Country in his own proper garments, Subscribe for the Chronicle.

SELLS FARM NEAR FENN. F. M. Bowman, last week sold his fine farm in the Fenn section | consisting of 160 acres to France Meyer for $20,000. Mr. Bowman retired from the ranch five years ago and has been making his home in Grangeville. The farm has been operaed the last three years by Lee Rice.

The viole d’amour ts a rausical In- strument which had become practically obsolete until Charles Martin Loeffler, the American composer, wrote a part for it in his dramatic poem, “La Morte de Tintagiles.”. The Instrument had not been recognized since Bach placed it in his orchestration of “St. John's Passion” and Meyerbeer employed it to accompany an air in the first act of “Les Huguenots.” The unique fen- ture of the viole d’amour Is its system of sympathetic strings. Beneath its Seven strings which are sounded with & bow, are stretched seven steel strings Supposed to vibrate with the bowed ones and enhance the power of the sound. The strings are tuned strictly In the key of D major, the lowest string being the D, one tone below the Violin B string. Berlioz speaks of the instrument's “sweet, seraphic tone.” It is said to be remarkably adapted to playing chords, arpeggios and harmonics, — Cultured Community, “We've got to enlarge our public lbr’y” “How's that, Ezry?
