effect 4 the earth should come 10 contact

been shown to be almost imponderable-a

that Prof Newton, Of Yale College, on the
evening Of the 24.b, SAW $50 shooting stars,
which are believed 10 have been the .fraR-
men,s Of the lost Biela's comet. It's sp-
proach vas not visible. 1t had either been
knocked into ftsgmsu's BY contact by some

The San FrAncisco q Bulletin relates the
following yarn. ss related BY = sailor. who
recently arrived 10 that port: A few months
before his srrival hs WAS wrecked on the
South American coast, aud oil the crew oil
the lost bark, bsilng from Genoa, were
compelled to take raft, After four dsys'
sxistsucs ou Q few biscuits saturated with
brine, ssd while suffering from sgonizing
thirs,, bs fell asleep % the forward part Of
the raft. and iacautiously hung his fse.
witbia few inches Of the water. About
midnight be felt something grasp him by
the log, and was dragged down 10 the low
er portion ofths raft. which was . couple Of
feet under water. He threw out bis hands
and fsl' . slippery body, fer It was . ihart,
that had attacked the uneonscioa sleeper.
A terrible struggle ensued. The nsh was
not full grown, and bio strength vss about
equally matched with the victim hs had
chosen for supper. They rolled over and
over, The sailor getting bis hands into the
monsters jaws, and the sharp rows Of teeth
lscsrstiDg them fssriulIy. At one time the
assatlant vss within lew feet Of the water,
and almost sucOeedsd 10 dragging bic prey
With him, bus the mau, though sorely ex.
hsusted, rallied, and with one vigorous eff
fort hsuied The shark on tbe ,dry portion Of
the raft. Here bis comrades were able to
assist bin, for though swaksEsd BY bic
cries at the outset, they became too psoio
stricken 10 lii hand to help him. Now
With the pieces Of a broken osr thsy. y.asssult
ed the Intruder and soon despatched him.
Ths fisherman had the muscles Of his left leg
torn away, and he tainted frsm loss OF blood
at the eud OF tho struggle. His sompau-
ions bound up the wonad with strips Of their
clotbisg, aud then made good suppsr of
the earcass OF the uslsatey.
