A Sllnrk Story.

a correspondent Of Forest and Stream
thus writes about an adventure with y
shark that ended with the disappolnt-
ment of the fish and TO the Joy Of the
sailor:
In February, 1928, was on hoard
Of vessel owned by members OF my
mothers family, which sailed from
Messina, in Sicily, bound for st. Peters
burg. The captain was far gone ~
consumption. He hoped he might
live to be landed in the Island Of Jer-
sey, his native place, on our way up
the channel. But he died ~ fortnight
alter leaving Messina, and we consigned
his body To the deep between Cape de
Gatta and Cape Palos, on the coast of
Spain.
For some days previous to his death,
u large shark followed the vessel, and
was daily seen by all hands but strange
to say. he did not putin an appearance
on the day of the burial, though we
were .bccamed all the morning. Two
days later, Us we were nearing Gibraltar,
with u light mir from the eastward,
proposed to the new captain to give the
white streak touch Of paint, to make
the cid craft look ship-shapc. No
sooner said than done.
"A ladder was slung over the side
with u board on the rungs, forming u
safe scallold, and another young man
and myself went to work. One side
was finished. and we had only the port
1uarter to paint, when u man in the
malntOp shouted. III an excited tone :
Alongside there! Halo Look
out, the shark is close to you"
u turned round quick rs thought,
and, to my inexpresslbIe horror, be
held the huge monster, Tor he was
twelve or fifteen feet in length, within
six feet Of us evidently about to make
his deadly spring

ped a large paint brush overheard, and

ladder, and gained the deck. AS
write, fancy see the lerring eyes q
the monster in anticipation of II glorl
ous feed. The stage was about two
feet from the water.
The man in the top said that thC
moment | dropped the brush the shark
followed it. Sorry it did not hold 4 few
ounces of arsenic or other deadly
poison. We finished our job, never
theless, the man in the top keeping
watch, and the captain on the quarter
with loaded gun.

A STORM IN LONDON.
Great Sewers Burst and the Metropolis
tan Underground Railway Deluged.
London Daily News.

London Daily News.
A few minutes before / o'clock peals
Of distant thunder disipated all DOUBT
whether the overcharged atmosphere
indicated blight or storm. AS soon ~
the sky became generally clouded the
storm burst forth, and ragged violently
for about nm hour. The lightning was
vivid and extreme, and the peals OF
thunder, which occurred in rapid sue
cession. seem ed 10 shake the roofs ofthe
houses over which they burst. Inc ram
was simply tropical and mingled rs 1t
was with large halstones, u poured
down in continuous sheets, innndating
in the course OF half an hour both me
gardens of the houses and the public
roadways.
The fury OF the storm put II stop to
all traffic. Not soul WAS IN the streets,
and few occupants Of houses ventured
To the windows for fear Of the contln-
nous vivid flashes Of lightning. The
down-pour lasted nearly ND hour, dur
ing which period the sem-darkness pre-
vailed The roadways We're literally
running streams for the time being. and
after the storm had abatcd those who
had put up for shelter resumed their
Journeys under anything but favorable
circumstances; some Of them were
obliged to bnrc their feet and plod their
way through the rushing waters.
The great sewers burst nj KING s
Cross, and in q few minutes the Metro
poitan railway line from that station
was deIngcd with water to beyond The
Harrington street station, where even
tho platforms were flooded. Traffic
on this part Of the line was suspended
for about half IN hour, after which,
though the water continued TO How
along the line, il found m outlet on the
low level line which dips under the old
or line between Harrington street and
Kings Cross. The lower level was
speedily covered to the depth Of six feet
with water
A hundred mon were promptly set to
work to repair the broken sewer, and
three steam fire engines OF the Metro
poIitan Fire Brigade were brought to
Harrington street to pump the water
ont of the lower tunnel. Owing how
ever to the fnct that u railway line IS
by no means so well suited for the pms
sage Of these engines as n common road,
no small amount Of difficulty had to be
encountered before these engines could
be got to work. The driver of one,
thinking to get rapidly down to the
scene Of action, unluckily got the hind
wheels entanglcd in some way with the
metals, 50 that the rear platform Of the
engine was pulled of, and the engine
had TO no half mounted on y small
truck. With Ill the care which was
taken Of the other two engines, it was
O'clock before they could be got to
work, and by thnt time the water was
eight feet in depth in tho lower tunnel,

The fertilization by the pollen of the
flower effects the seed, and not the
flesh, as q general rule. Many curious
facts have been published showing, how
ever, that the character of the flesh is
sometimes changed by cross-fertiliza-
ton. The contrary, however, is the
general rule. Two cherry trees may be
growing side by side, or two strawberry
plants; the fruit Of each will refrain its
true character, but if the seed of either
is sown, when the plants or trees bear
fruit it will be found to differ from the
fruit from which the seeds were taken,
showing that the seed and not the fruit
was changed by cross-fertiilzation. This
is subject of much interest, and facts
fully verified will always be acceptable.

IMPORTANCE or THE GoAT.-There is

goats to cows milk, still these are co n.

as u luxury. All desire with regard to
these gentlemen is to persuade them,
and landlords generally, not to dis

z Nanny amongst the tenants on their
farms and estates, to whom milk is Il
necessity. The goat is the COW Of the
poor man, everywhere but in England
and more, for it not only feeds but
cloths him. Its milk provides his
family with food, making cheese and
butter; its flesh gives them meat, its
fat goes for candles, and its skin clothes
them. Nor is it mountainous districts
only, us many suppose, that these
animals are cultivated. In the plains
Of France, Germany, and Holland, and
other parts Of the continent, the goat is
constantly met with, singiy or in
couples, thcthcrcd to stakes uy the side

bankments, waste plots Of ground, etc.
