Sharkey, the Murderer.

New York, April l6. A special to the Herald
from Havana, says that legal complications have
arisen between the Spanish and American officials,
and it is now doubtful when Sharkcy will be re-
turned to New York.
A Washington despatch to the Times says it is
not believed there that Sharkey will be surren-
dered to New York officers, and it is not known
that the United States government has made any
formal re quest for his surrender.

A Gigantic Sun-Fish.

A very large specimen of the "short sun
fish," or molebut (Orthagor1scus moia), has
been brought to Edinburgh by some fisher
men, who caught it some days ago off the
coast in the far north of Scotland. The
fortunate captors are exhibiting their
prize in the Royal Gymnasium, Edinburgh.
1t was intended for the museum, but was
found to be too large for admission. Its
measurements are as follows: From nose
to tip of tail, six feet six inches; from tip
to top of fins, seven feetsIx inches depth,
inclusive of fins, three feet ten inches;
thickness, eighteen inches. 1t is an adult
fish, and weighs, it is supposed, about
200 pounds. This fish is not frequently
met with so far north, but its capture in
the Firth of Forth has been recorded by
Yarrel. Off the south coasts, and to the
west of Ireland, it is more often found.
In fine weather it is met with floating on
the surface of the water, apparently Sleep
ing, when it can easily be approached.
The specimen here alluded to exceeds in
size the largest recorded in Yarrel, being
over one foot longer, nine inches in depth,
and estimated at three times the weight
The sun-fish is entirely different from the
basking-shark, or so-called sun-fish, of
the west of Ireland, which has been fire.
quently alluded to in the Times as afford
ing employment to the Irish fishermen,
who seek it on account of the value of its
oil. The Orthdgortscus mOla is of little
commercial value.-L0ndon Times.

The Young Lady Of Long Ago.

SPEAKING of high life in England in
the last century, writer says: The young
lady, no longer under the strict guardian
ship of the lady cltdteldine, is taken by her
mother from the country as too dull an
abode to shine at court and in the metrOp-
oils. At sixteen her figure is imprisoned
in stiff, iron stays, and her head delivered
over 10 the management of a hair-dresser.
Her department, next to dress, her first
consideration, she learns to walk in high
heelcd shoes and to manage gracefully
her hoop and her train. The dancing
master instructs her in the stately minuet
and garitte, and she has lessons from an
other professor in the management of her
fan-how to handle, flutter and furl this
necessary adjunct to the toilet. She
troubles little about the antiquated occu
patrons of her predecessors, of gathering
herbs and compromising mysterious drinks
for ailing old women or sickly babes.
She gives no thought to the quaint cook
cry recipes carefully treasured up in the
cramped hand of perhaps great grand
mother. Her only care is to compose
washes to increase the fairness of her
skin, paste to whiten her hands, and To-
lions to counteract the effects of tight
lacing and late hours. The great study
of her giddy head is how she can best
adorn her person, possess costly Mechlin
or Brussels Primers and rufiies, and rus
tie in brocadcs and satine to captivate her
admirers. At length she succeeds, and
becomes the bride of some Respondent
beau, with wig. patches, snuff-box, cane
and brelO0ues

Gold and Silver.

Many people have the desire to know
the value of gold and silver in bulk. The
following statement from Prof. F. L..
Schirmer, Superintendent of the branch
mint of this city, may be relied on as cor
rect The fineness of Colorado gold and
the calculations of value of gold and sill
yer are also given. 1t is matter of con-
siderable value ami should be carefully
preserved for reference:
One ton 1900 pounds avoirdupois) of
gold and silver contains 30, 1913 troy ounces
and, therefore, the value of ton of pure
gold is $500, 100 .21, and of ton of silver,
$37 ,7O4.4s.
, A cubic foot of pure gold weighs 1915
"a pounds avoirdupois; a cubic foot of
pure silver weighs 556.25 pounds avoir-
dupois.
If there is 1 per cent. of gold or silver
in ton of ore it contains 291 .63 ounces
troy of either of these metals.
The average fineness of the Colorado
gold is 7S1 In 1 900, and the natural alloy
gold, ISL; silver, 200; copper, 10; total,
1000.
The calculations at the mint are made
on the basis that forty three ounces OF
standard gold. or 900 fine (coin), is worth
$500, and eleven ounces OF silver, 800 fine
(coin), is worth $12. SO.-Lociy Mountain

so many things have to be taken in,

SO many things have to be taken into
consideration in calculating the weight OF
hay in bulk it makes it difficult to get at
it precisely. For example: fine, new
mown hay, like red-top or herds grass,
would probably require 500 cubic feet for
the ton; timothy, $50; clover, $50; coarse
meadow hay, 100 or more. After being
stacked thirty days the bulk would be
decreased from to 10 per cent, possibly
more, according to the size of the stack
and the pressure upon it. Again, hay
will vary somewhat in measurement ac-
cording to the time it is cut. If this be
done when it is just coming into blossom,
as it always should, it will pack closer
and weigh more per cubic foot than if left
till the seed begins to ripen and the stalks
and leaves have grown coarser AMI be-
come drier. Good judgment and some
experience in measuring and weighing is
required to get at this correctly. A
neighbor of mine informs me that he once
had the curiosity to weigh his timothy hay
as he put it into the barn in July. He
sold it about nine months after, and on
reweighing it as it came out of the barn
he found, greatly to his surprise, that il
had shrunk to within a fraction of % per
cent.-A. B. Alien, tn N. Y. Tribune.
