THE OSHAWA DAILx 1IMES, TUESDAY, APRIL 9, 1929 CYCLIST HAD THRILLIN ON BRAZIL New York, April 9.--Outdoing the best achievement of the Rover boys of fiction, Ruben Pinheiro Costa ar- rived in New York recently on a bi- cycle--from Brazil. It is 11,000 miles from Bahia, Bra: zil, to the city hall steps, and Costa's first act after letting go the handle- bars was to dispel any rumors that he planned to go back on a bicycle. Exactly three years and 15 days o, Costa's friends in Bahia laughed en he said he could ride a bicycle to New York. They received a cable- gram Tuesday that made them laugh out of the other side of their mouths. "But then," said Costa, "I did not dream of how long I would take or what thousands of difficulties would be éncountered. A hundred times I wanted to quit, but I could not have faced my friends in Bahia if I had. That was the only thing that kept me on the road." Costa patted the front fork of his § bicycle affectionately, and said that she was the same old wheel he pedal- led up the main street of Bahia more than three years ago. But the trip was tough on tires. He wore out 26 sets, The 27th, on the bicycle since Costa left Mexico City, are now of paper thinness. Costa traversed hundreds of miles of wild jungle and mountain country, and quit his bicycle only to crbss rivers, At first he tried to ride it across the streams he encountered, but a ford in Venezuela proved deeper > Listen to it chackble / Kiopies are fascinated with the way Rice Krispies crackle when you pour on milk or cream.

After that, Costa lost all of his clothing except that on his back - several times, but he took no more chances with the bike. Coming through Nicaragua and Mexico, the tedium of pedalling was more than once relieved byfprints to escape bandit bullets, a Vene- zuelan jungle Costa climbed a tree to get his bearings, and as he started to climb down again he was impelled to remain in the tree by noticing a large jaguar sitting at the foot or it. Fin- ally a good angel called the beast away, and Costa resumed his jour- ney. "The worst part of the trip was through the United States," Costa said through an interpreter, "because I cannot speak any English, It took me many hours to find my way through big cities. I must order my ood by drawing pictures. I can draw good pictures of ham and eggs, and have eaten many hams and eggs since arriving in your delightful country." Costa bears consular letters attest- ing to the nations he has crossed. He plans to remain in the United States for two or three months, attend a few six-day bike races for relaxation, and decide on his means of getting back to Brazil. It will not be by bi- cycle, he is positive of that. HAMPTON MAN IS SLIGHTLY INJURED Hampton, April 5.--Mrs. How- den and son, Kenneth, Toronto, are visiting the former's father Mr. Henry Clayton.

Good the World Over" KING'S TREATMENT HAS GOOD RESULT (By Canadian Press Lcased Wire) Bognor, Sussex, April 9.--The King passed a good day yesterday. His Majesty spent the sunny morn- ing in the grounds of Craigwell House. It is understood the new ray treatments of His Majesty's shoulder Sunday proved satisfac- tory, and that it fill be applied on alternative days to overcome the trouble, believed to be either rheumatism or neuritis, MANY FISHES ARE CLEVER - ANGLERS Sharks Follow Liners in the Hope of Getting Savoury Meal Sharks will follow liners for cone siderable distances, with the hope lof obtaining a savoury meal, whica habit has taught them is often jet tisonea from the cook's galley. sharks below, and gulls aboye, keep pace with apparent ease with the fastest vessel that man's me- chanical skill has invented writeg Major Osman in the London: Daily Express. . In the case of the gull it is vy use of its sight that it follows the ship, but can the shark see ob- jects above the water, or does it follow in the wake of vessels on account of the sound of the emn- gines? Fish have eyes and ears, but do they possess acute hearing, or have they a keen sense of taste and smell? : That certain species of fish pos- sess the homing instinct in a mark- ed degree is well known, Experiments with salmon on a most exhaustive scale go to show that the female salmon possesses this. homing instinct. It has been shown that large numbers of sale mon return to the rivers in which they were themselves born to spawn. This homing instinct is al- most as remarkable as the migra: tory instinct of the swallow. Not Such Fools In some respects fish seem fools, but in others they are not at any rate, as some of them live to a great age, and during their lives must have refused many tempting baits. That big fish prey on little fish is known. In this respect colora- tion has played its great part in the survival of the fittest. A visit to an- aquarium, where the habits of our more useful sea water fish can be studied, will al- ways be found interesting. Here are conger eels, plaice, tur~ bot, and many varieties of sea fish in their element, and the colora- tion of the fish and the shingle at the bottom of the tank are so well matched that it would be difficult for the fish of prey to find species of those varieties to prey upon un- less their eyesight were very acute. That the ordinary common fish, such as roach and bream, cannot see above the water is testified by the fact that on bright clear days with south winds good sport is of- ten enjoyed in season. But a keen angler will as a rule find it- better to choose a pool 'where a constant shadow falls on the water. I have known some good swims in whith the fish never came on feed until the sun was in the west and the shadow over the pool.

TORONTO CARPET MFG. CO., LIMITED Established 1891 1179 King St. West Toronto wv You =~ Zz ™~ v fish, but there are yet many phases unexplained. Laying The Bait Man's object is to outwit the fish, and he does so by many arti- ficial baits, such as the artificial fly used at different seasons to tempt trout and salmon. He knows the right fly to use at the season, A spoon bait will sometimes draw a jack from its lair when other means fail. This is because the jack is a most impetuous fellow, and makes a sudden attack on the imitation fish spinning through the water. A good size jack when in a running stream will offer good sport. Are anglers sufficiently careful in baiting their hooks? Many ama- teurs are not. Fishing on the Norfolk Broads with a doctor friend and his wife, both she and myself enjoyed good sport, but my medical friend did not get a bite. I chaffingy told him that he was putting his bait on the hook up- side down 'and if he would allow me to bait his hook the same as I baited his wife's his luck would change. Sure enough it did, and he caught his fair share so long as I baited for him. My friend was a great cigarette smoker. His fingers were stained with nicotine and 'I firmly believe the fish disliked his bait for that reason. When ponds containing eels dry up, the eels migrate to other ponds, while other fish remain to perish. They have an uncanny manner of finding the nearest pool and the direction to take inland for it. I believe eels can live longer out of water than any other [ish. SOCIETY STORM AT WASHINGTON Diplomats Seek Definition of Status of Vice-President's Half Sister Washington, April 9.--rne dip- lomatic corps at a meeting at the British embassy last night agreed that Sir Esme Howard, the British ambassador and dean of the corps, immediately should ask the state department for a definite ruling on the sotial status of Mrs. Ed- ward Everett Gann, half-sister of Vice-President Curtis. The diplomatc representatives were called together by the British embassador. The discussion over what action should be taken lasted nearly two hours. The corps decided that since Vice-President Curts had protest- ed to the state department against a ruling by former Secretary Kel- logg, placing Mrs. Gann at social functions after the wives of the heads of foreign missions, it would be better to have Mrs. Gann's stat- us definitely established by Secre- tary of State Stimson. It was pointed out that a large number of outstanding social fune- tions are expected before the vaca- tion season starts and that a ruling by Secretary Stimson would elim- | inate the possibility of hostesses | offending either the vice-presi- dent's party or foreign diplomats | whom they might entertain. J EARNS $21,000 AS | GOLF PROFESSIONAL | New York, N.Y., April 9.--Hor- ton Smith, the most successrul pro. | for his years in the golf business, | has set a winter record for profit- | able golf shots. The Missouri youth who has lived up to the best traditions of a' state that insists | upon being shown, will not be 21 years of age until May 22 and his | golf earnings since last autumn | probably are not far short of $21- | 000. Before he celebrates his 21st | birthday the boy from Joplin hopes to play a prominent part in the Ryder Cup's team invasion of Great | Britain and the British Open | Championship. His victory in the La Gorce open at Miami Beach gave him a rich reward of $5,000 and his Florida record reads four out of five. Previous triumphs were registered at Pensacola, Jacksonville and Fort Myers. In 18 tournaments since he started his westward and south- ern trek in October, Smith,, who , bears a grand golfing name but is | not a member of the family boast- ing Willie, Alex, and MacDonald, has a record of six firsts, four sec- ods, three thirds an dtwo' fourths. Only twice has he been over 300 for 72 holes, and his grand aver- age, thanks to a short course in California where he had two 63,s, 61 and 58, is under fours. Smith, a native of Springfield, Mo., and educated at the Teachers' College there, has been playing competitive golf since 1924, when he reached the semi-finals in the western unior championships. He left College in 1925 to give serious attention to golf.
