FISHING FOR SEA LIONS. — American fishermen are noted the world around for thelr daring, and the whaling and swordfishing off the United States coast have furnished material for many thrilling arti. cles. But there is a form of fishing in the Pacific Ocean—If {t can be called fishing—that is no less daring than the €orms unique, says the Evffalo Express, It is the “tishiug’ for sea Hons off the many tstands that la near the California coast off Santa Barbara County. Thé animals are p'entiful there, and , while they have ro com: merelal vaiue ax food or oll producers, they are always sal- | able to menagcrice and parks. Of course, to be of use they must be taken alive and unin- jured. This is what makes the work of taking them perilous and oxciting It is practically tmpossible to capture them while they le on the shore, for they are so shy and ounning that they select only such rocks and ledges as are not ap- proachable by man except from the sea. And, of course, the moment a boat comes in sight the big animals slide inte the water and swim away. c So tho only way to capture them fs to catch them while they are in the water. And as they are so quick and haunt such dangerous parts of the coast, {t 1s not possible to hunt thein with largo vessels, and the “Ashermen” must risk them- selvos in small open boats. They try to row in swiftly enough to reach the water near 4 ‘ shore at aout the same moment the sea lions are sliding into ft to swim off. If the boats succeed in getting among them the men in the hows try to throw a lasso around thelr necks, dofore they dive. v8 This in itself 1s not easy. And added to it 1s the fact that - ths sea lions are flerce and brave animals that will fight to, the end. Thereforef after one 1s lassoed he battles savagely, and many a boat ‘has been overturned and smashed, while men are drowned. 5 BOER PROPER NAMES, a Gen, Botha’s name {s sounded by the public as ¢t the first Sylablo rhymed with the word ‘loath.’ The “th in Dutch has not the English sound, but it is regarded merely as @ “ ; the names Botha, Martha and De, » Martta an& De Mott, saya thé 4n Botha has, moreover, ened sound, something intermed‘ate between the ae heard in the words ‘boat’ and “loot.” In De Wot's case the mistake arises from the tendenoy to pronounce the name ap éf tt were wholly English. The South African pronounclation of De Wet {s distinctly De Vat, the De being sounded as a Frenchman would pronounce tt, Delarey’s name suffers the teast In an educated mouth, though the crowd has a tendency to pronounce it “Deelarry,”” with a strong accent on the second syllable. The Genered himself sounds the end syllable very strongly, although thé” two other syllables are also pronounced with a Mstinct stress these mistakes are to South Africans who under- ‘the Generals would no doubt be the firat to recognize that thelr pronunciation of certain EngHsh wonls must eound equally ludicrous to an En¢li#mman.
