Just in time to see the shed lifted bodily
away from the main building and dashed
against his back fence, completely de-

there in amazement the family were still

lowed bya wardrobe, articles of clothing,

movable. Strange to say, not one OF

The Cathedral at Cologne.

Of all Gothic buildings, the plan of
the cathedral at Cologne is the most stu
pendous even ruin as it is, it cannot
fail to excite surprise and admiration.
The legend concerning its plan may not
be known to every one. 1t is related OF
the inventor of it, that in despair of find
ing any plan sufficiently great, he was
walking one day by the river, sketching
with his stick upon the sand when he
finally hit upon one that pleased him SO
well that he exclaimed:
"This shall be the plan"
"I will show you one better than
that I" said a voice behind him, and q
certain black gentleman, who figures In
many German legends, stood by him
and pulled from his pocket roll con-
tanning the present plan of the cathedral.
The architect, amazed at its grandeur,
asked an explanation of every part. AS
he knew his soul was to be the price OF
it, he occupied himself while the devil
was explaining In committing its pro-
portions carefully to memory. Having
done this he remarked it did not please
him, and he would not take it. The
devil, seeing through the cheat, ex-
claimed in his rage
You may build your cathedral ac-
cording to this plan, but you shall never
finish it."
This prediction seems likely to be YER
fled, for though it was commenced in
1913 and continued for $50 years, only
the nave and choir and one tower to half
its proper height are finished.

A Monster with a Sword.

Capt. D. D. Thurlow, of the fishing
schooner G.. f. Brown, sighting school
of mackerel off Fire Island on Wednesday,
set out in a small boat to capture them.
He got them into his net, and was haul
ing it in when an unusual commot1on
showed that he had caught something
larger than mackerel. He thought that
he had shark to deal with, and watched
it's movements anxiously, expecting that
it would break through his net and lib
crate the whole school of mackerel. AS
the Captain stood with boat-hook In hand,
the monster rushed up under the boat
and nearly capsized it, sent the Captain
sprawling on his back, and threw the
other men off their seats. When the
men regained their feet, they found that
their antagonist was a swordfish. He
had drive his sword clear through the
bottom of the boat, and was for mo-
ment held fast. But as the planks OF the
boat were not thick enough to hold him
long, the men lost no time in getting a
complicated series of half bitches around
him with stout line. Just as the last
moose was frightened the fish freed him
self and darted off into position for an
other charge. But as the grip of the
rope was tightened with every move
ment, he was at the mercy of his cap
tols. The fishermen stopped the hole In
the boat and pulled for the schooner,
landing their captive safely on deck, and
brought him to Fulton Market. Yester
day morning it was sent to Overton' S
restaurant, in Park Row. It is much
larger than those usually caught in New
York waters The sword measures feet
inches, and the body, from the base OF
the sword to the tail, is over IL feet. 1t
weighed 800 pounds, net.-Neao York
