A MODERN HERCULES. 
Rama Murti Naidu won the name of 
India’s Hercules by letting an elephant weigh¬ 
ing four tons walk over his abdomen, a 12- 
horsepower motor car run over his shoulder 
and back, two country carts loaded to the limit 
of their capacity with men and boys from his 
audience pass over his shoulders and thighs; 
also by bearing a stone weighing 3,000 pounds 
on his chest and back and letting men break 
a large rock on it with heavy sledge hammers, 
and finally, according to the Review of Reviews, 
by snapping asunder a stout chain about one- 
eighth of an inch in thickness by merely rais¬ 
ing his shoulders. 
He is a most popular figure in India and re¬ 
ceives wherever he goes the reception of a prince. 
With high thinking he combines plain living, 
being a pure vegetarian. About two hours after 
his night performance is over he takes a light 
meal of rice, pulse, greens or one or two vege¬ 
tables, all mixed together and weighing not 
more than half a pound in all. 
He takes water or sometimes plain soda 
and that, too, very moderately, disdaining tea. 
coffee, cocoa and spirituous liquors. He leaves 
his bed at 8 o’clock in the forenoon, when his 
favorite drink is ready for him. This is made 
from almonds, cummin seed and black pepper, 
weighing in all two pounds, soaked overnight, 
made into a fine pulp, then mixed with a pint 
of water, strained through a piece of muslin 
and sweetened with sugar. 
An hour later he eats a quarter of a pound 
of raw fresh butter. Breakfast is served at 1 
o’clock in the afternoon. It is about the same 
sort of meal that he eats after his performance. 
At 4 o’clock he takes a drink similar to the one 
already described, made from almonds, wheat, 
bran and milk, and eats a sort of pudding made 
by boiling together clotted cream, honey, but¬ 
ter and sugar.

NET MAKING IN HOLLAND. 
The manufacture of fishing nets has for 
centuries been a very important industry in 
Holland, which in the seventeenth century had 
a fleet of over 2,000 smacks engaged in the 
herring fishery. The latest census of the in¬ 
dustry shows that there is one fishing net fac¬ 
tory at Scheveningen, where the first factory 
was established, with about ten hands; one at 
Apeldoorn, with about 250 hands; two at Goor. 
of which one is also a cotton mill, with about 
630 hands; one at Leyden, with about 80 hands, 
and one at Gouda, with about 30 hands. 
Those at Scheveningen, Goor and Leyden 
make chiefly nets for the herring fishery in the 
North Sea: the Apeldoorn factory makes all 
sorts of fishing nets and lines, both for the 
anchovy and sardine fisheries and for the 
herring and mackerel fisheries. The Gouda 
factory makes all sorts of fishing nets and lines. 
At Sneek there is a rope yard which mounts 
and finishes nets for games as well as for fish¬ 
ing purposes; and there are net works at 
Maassluis and Katwijk. In addition to the large 
factories there are many small ones where hoop 
nets and fishing tackle are made by hand.—

A NEW AUTOMATIC GUN. 
A press report states that Vickers (Ltd.) 
England, have recently received orders for 1.- 
080 new automatic rifle caliber guns, the Gov¬ 
ernments adopting the gun including five of 
the first-class powers of Europe. The new gun 
dilifers in many respects from the company’s 
earlier types, being lighter and more mobile, 
while modifications have enabled the gun to 
continue firing for much longer periods with¬ 
out becoming overheated. This has been 
achieved partly by a new system of condensa¬ 
tion, with the water in the jacket for cooling
