the prominent citizen hurled this thun

“Well, you’d stand a much better

An India Product.
The origin of the peacock was in
India and Ceylon, and this is why we
see so frequently the bird on the art
objects of these countries. Peacock
shooting is still a recognized sport in
some parts of India, but its former
popularity as a table delicacy has
ceased, though the flesh is white and
is said to resemble a pheasant in
flavor. The eggs are also edible. For
the production of the feathers these
birds are bred in France, but to a
small extent, as they are difficult to
rear, because in a big area they wan
der off and if inclosed within narrow
limits they become mischievous.

COAST 11,511 MILES LOff
Sailors Engaged in Philippine Coast
wise Trade Cannot “Get Home
to Dinner."
Deep-sea sailors used to laugh at
their brother mariners of the coast
wise trade, and refer to them as men
who “like to go to sea when they
could get home to dinner.” This gibe
w’ould have little point in the Philip
pines, the coast line of which has
been found to measure more than 11,-
000 miles —to be exact, 11,511 statute
miles. In the Philippines there is one
mile of coast to every ten miles of
area, the total area of the islands be
ing 115,026 square statute miles.
These figures are interesting when
it is considered that the ratio in the
United States is 232 square miles of
area to one mile of coast line. The
figures for the United States have ref
erence to the coast line of the main
part of the country, including islands
lying near the coast, but not including
non-contiguous territory such as
Alaska and Porto Rico. The coast
line of the United States so measured,
with what the experts call “three
mile steps,” is 13,026 miles, less than
2,000 miles in excess of the coast line
of our eastern possessions.

scribed in paragraph 1 of this section of
this Article, and without regard to the
uniformity of such salaries in the va
rious circuits; and shall have the fur
ther power to determine what disposi
tion shall be made of the fines, for
feitures and fees accruing to the office

of Solicitors General.” or “Against rati
fication of amendment to Paragraph 2, of
Section 13, of Article 6, of the Constitu
tion of this State, abolishing fees of
Solicitors General” as they may choose,
and If a majority of the electors qual
