THE BLUE SHARK.
How the Monster Is Caught and Rendered
Harmless.


Toward midsummer the fishermen
on the Cornish coasts often find their
nets and lines attacked by the blue
shark. 1t follows the pilchards and
behring's and frequently bites out the
part of the net in which the fish are
entangled. When the bait on a line
has been swallowed and the fish has
failed to bite the line through, it often
rolls the rope round its body until it
reaches the surface, coming up in this
way from depth of thirty to forty
fathoms. Its appetite shows varied
taste. The stomach of one fish six
feet long was found to contain a large
piked dogfsh, a conger eel and gray
gurnard. Another was hungry enough
to take the bait though its stomach
contained four mackerel. half garish
and quantity of herrings, which the
fishermen. finding uninjured, afterward
sold for eighteen pence. On one occa-
sion blue shark leaped considerable
distance out of the water to seize
a piece of beef hanging on the quar-
ter of ship. and it is well known to
attack man; but as it rarely enters har-
bors or approaches close to the land,
its human victims are few. Fishermen
assert that its sense of smell is offended
by the nauseous odors, so that it may
be driven away by pouring bilgewater
into the sea where it shows itself. The
Muscular vitality of these fishes is as
remarkable as that of reptiles and
amphibians, for in one recorded in
stance after shark had been caught
and the body severed from the head
and thrown overheard, it contin ued
swimming about for hours. The power
of the sharks tail often makes the
fish an announcement neighbor when
drawn on deck, but when the tail i,

kind that drove me off the road and

Iowa Legislature passed law in 1877,

juries incurred in their service, and to
offset the liability the railroad ad-

asking them to relinquish their claims.
One morning had fired up as usual
and run the engine around to await the
freight which we were to take west from
Burlington. Before the hour an agent
stepped up and asked the engineer to

Noble Animal Which Froquenta the 00Ds

The musk OK frequents the barren
lands east Of the Mackenzie river, and
between that and the coast Of the Hud-
son Bay and the Arctic Sea- His
habits are to spend the summer in the
barren lands mentioned, and in the
winter he seeks shelter 10 the wooded
districts Of the Peace river and the
neighborhood Of Fort Good Hope. In
the month of April he goes back TO his
summer haunts. These animals are
not SO numerous as the cariboo. but
are found in about the Same numbers
as the moose deer. The musk OK
frequents district farther north than
the favored feeding grounds Of the
moose, and consequently the males of
these animals seldom meet II they

LIFE IN NORTH CHINA.
The Crooked Per Ho River and u. Heavily
Armed Mud Forts.

The Crooked Per Ho River anA Tee Heavily
Armed Mud Forts.
Nearly two months have passed since
our arrival at this place--a city Of
many hundred thousand inhabitants
on the Per Ho river. fifty miles from
Its mouth. This stream is one Of the
crookedest in the world, many Of its
turns being so abrupt that 1t requires
skill to navigate it. At the entrance
of the river is an immense mud bank,
which can only be crossed at high tide
by vessels Of light draft, 80 when a
steamer arrives she must anchor and
be lightered to about ten feet, when II
it is possible to cross the bar, which is
three or four miles wide. The Chinese
Government will not allow this natural
barrier to be cut away. as it most
efectualiy prevents foreign gunboats
from entering the river. while on both
sides are mud forts called the Takee
forts, heavily mounted with artillery.
About halfway up the Tientsin is an
other OF these forts, which is the largest
of its kind in the world and the best.
So say engineerin gexperts. At Tient-
sin there are two forts, an arsenal
and two powder mills. English army
officers are employed by the Govern
ment to drill native soldiers in the arts
of modern war.
Ihave not as yet explored the coun-
try about here very much.
1t is vast plain, scarcely above sea
level. Just west of us is vast grave
yard flooded with water. The plats OF
ground are walled around with mud.
The cosfi Is are made of heavy plank,
and rest on the top Of the ground. The
head of the family occupies the most
prominent part of the plats. and when
ever new occupant is added an adj
ditional pile of earth is heaped upon
this grave till the family lot looks some
thing like small haystack. Some
build these mounds above the water
line, and they are carefully kept, but
in some cases the collins are exposed to
view, and others covered with water
and mud.
Tientsin is the home Of the Viceroy
Lii Hung Chang. one of the most liberal
and progressive of Chinese officials.
He is having his sons taught English
by an American, and is interested in
the building Of military college a,
this place.
His edicts are characteristic of this
sort of government. When about to
start for his winter home he issues an
order that for six days no one can

The extraordinary sensitiveness OF
tea to odors was shown in New York
the other day. The ship brought a
cargo OF tea-and nothing else-from
China, and, upon testing the tea, it
was found to be sweet. The ship had
brought cargo of sugar from Manila
on the previous voyage, and though not
= bit Of i was left in the vessel, yet the
otlor was sufficient to impreguate the
tea A case somewhat similar to this
occurred twelve years ago. when tea
was packed in the same hold with cam.
piior. 1t is known that butter will
absorb doors equally as well. The odor
OF kerosene, for instance, and tobacco
and vanilla beans, are fully as sensitive
as any thing that is known to borrow
