A couprn OF SHARKS.

A coUPLK OF SHARKS.

the habits of the shark while at Mauritius,n
said Col. Pike, "because then made COM
plete collection of the fish of the Indian
ocean, When the Duke of Edinburgh came
to Port Louis on one of his cruises he ex-
pressed desire to eee specimen of a real
man eating shark, and volunteered one day
to capture one. Accordingly took my boat
and Malay crew and set out. was par
ticular to take boat without any keel, be-
cause sharks will dart under boat and tear
of a keel without half trying Besides lines,
hooks and bait, carried INTERCHANGEABLE.
This Is an instrument shaped like a car
penter's chisel, but as big as your hand and
fixed on a pole say ten feet long. Thus
equipped we proceeded to the outer reef off
Port Louis. Reaching deep water we threw
out our lines baited with chunks of pork.
The ocean was perfectly calm, and after
waiting some time took pull at one of the
lines and found that it was fastened to some
thing. Then there was fierce jerk from
the other end which nearly careened the
boat,
~ knew that we had hooked one and
almost simultaneously the other lines were
made taut, and could see we were to have
our hands full. The shark first hooked now
became fierce and was thrashing and slash
ing about In the most threatening manner.

in the bow of the boat. He was coming
direct for us with his mouth wide open.
When within range made fierce lunge at
aim, which fortunately severed the vertabrn
and the huge fish keeled over on its side dead
The second one was not so easily dispatched,
and when we finally did kill him his head
was resting on the side of the boat, Ehaving
made spring out of the water in attacking
us. The third one we Unanswered with for
over an hour before we could kill it, One
of the sharks measured twenty-five feet, and
its liver made barrel of oil The three,
after being exhibited at Port Louis, were
stuffed and sent to Professor Agassiz and
are now in the. Museum of Comparative 20
ology at Cambridge, Mass.
GREEDY FLESH EATERS
All the meat that was brought to Port
Louis came in vessels and the cattle were
lowered into the water and made 10 swim
ashore. 1t was not an uncommon thing for
the sharks to seize live animal and make
away with 1t. In order to study the habits
of this wonderful fish more thoroughly, /

IONS AND OBSERVATIONS.

As Many as 100 Seen at Time In the
Indian Demonstrating Couple of
Specimens-several Thrilling Incidents.
Col Nicholas Pike, formerly United States
consul at Oporto, Portugal, and later on the
Island of Mauritius, in the Indian ocean, is
a well known authority in natural history.
Calling at his residence one evening recently
1 said:
'You must have had some interesting en-
counters with sharks, presume, during your
natural history researches in the Indian
oceanm
eyes, he replied, ''that region swarms
with them. Many of them are exceedingly
dangerous and they grow to be very large,
some being taken twenty-seven feet in
length. They generally remain near the bot
tom, coming to the surface only in search Of
prey. At points along the coast Of the Sea
Shell group Of islands have seen as many as
100 sharks at one time through the clear
water. Once number Of English naval Of
ficers and myself thought we would engage
in shark hunt. We procured number of
strong lines, hooks and pieces of raw pork.
In order to make sure of the sharks coming
to the surface we took with US a pail of bull
locks blood, and when we reached the local
ity most frequented by the voracious ami
mails we emptied tho contents of the pail
upon the surface Of the water We got moro
than we bargained for. The sharks came
about us in swarms The blood seemed TO
make them ferocious and they would stick
their heads up out of the water, apparently
looking for the animal that was bleeding.
We were frightened out of our wits and
pulled for shoal water. Frequently we had
to stop and beat them off with our oars, fear
ing that they wonld tip the boat over. They
followed us even into ssloal water, and when
we landed we fired at them with our revol-

London Bridge.

This is the last bridge on the Thames,
or the one nearest the sea, built of gran
ite, and first opened to the public by
William ~, Aug. l, 1881. 1t was
built at an outlay of 60, 566, 269 from
designs of John Rennie and his sons,
John and George. In Saxon times
there was bridge at this spot, and in
1176 the fist stone bridge was built
here. The cd London bridge had
houses upon each side. At one time it
was noted for its booksellers shops,
and a. later period was famous for its
many pin-makers. Pennant says that
the street on old London bridge was
marrow, darksome and dangerous to
passengers from the multitude of car
riages; frequent arches of strong tim
bers crossing the street from the tops
of the houses, to keep them together
and from falling into the river. Moth
ing but use could preserve the repose
of the inmates, who soon grow deaf to
the noise of the falling waters, the
clamors of wateImen, or the frequent
shrieks of drowning wretches." Lon
don bridge, in the time OF Shakespeare
and for years afterward, was built Of
wood and lined with houses on either
side. In the second part of King Henry
VI, Cade says: "Come, then, let's go
fight with them. But first, go and set
London bridge on fire; and, II you can,
burn down the Tower too.

gentlemen who on Wednesday visited
the site selected for the works. Iester-
day afternoon reporter asked these
gentlemen their opinions Of the loea-
cation, with the following result:
Judge Burke. The site is unsur
passed for that particular industry.
1t combines almost every natural adj
vantage. 1t il within easy reach OF
the sources OF supply, that Is, the raw
material, ard is practically on the
greatest fresh water harbor on the

ton is as near perfect as possible. /"

the site selected l. most admirably
adapted 10 the uses and purposes for
which il was intended. The site Is an
almost level front with q gentle slcpe
