"a BATTLE BENEATH THE SEA.


An Ocean Divers Fight for Life with al
Octopus.
The occupation of diver is one that
offers but little attraction to those who
by temperament have no fancy for ex-
ploring the mysteries of the deep" 1t
is, however, not so monotonouss an en-
ployment as might be imagined, and
divers occasionally meet with exciting
adventures while engaged in their
labors-
One of these fell to the lot of gov
eminent diver in Victoria, Mr.. Smale,
while at work on the bed of the Moyne
river at Belfast in that colony; and
from the account he gives of it. it must
have been more exciting than pleasant.
Having thrust his arm into hole he
found that sit was held by something;
the action of the water was stirring up
the clay, and therefore l could not see
distinctly for few minutes; but when
it did clear away saw to my horror
the arm of large octopus entwined
around mine like boa constructor; just
then he fixed some of his suckers on
the back of my hand, and the pain was
intense
81 felt as if my hand was being pulled
to pieces, and the more 1 tried to take
it away the greater the pain became;
and from past experience 1 knew this
method would be useless; but what
was to do lying in this position?
II had the greatest difficulty in keep
ing my feet down, as the air rushed
along the interior of my DRESS and in
fated it; and if my feet had got upper
most, should have soon become insen-
sible, held in such position; and also
if I had given the signal to be pulled up
the brute would have held on, and the
chances would have been that | should
have had a broken arm
81 had hammer by me, but could
not reach down to use it on the brute.
There was small iron bar about
five feet from me, and with my foot
dragged this along until l could reach
it with my left hand.
SAnd now the fight commenced; the
more I struck him the tighter he
squeezed, until my arm got quite be-
numbed. After awhile found the grip
began to relax little, but he held on
until 1 had almost cut him to pieces,
and then he relaxed his hold from the
rock and pulled him up.
81 was completely exhausted, having
been in that position for about twenty
minutes. l brought the animal up or
rather a part of it. We laid him out,
and he measured over eight feet across;
and feel perfectly convinced that this
fellow could have held down five or six
men. jury.

HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST.

THE finding of skeleton at Scran-
ton, Pa, started police mystery, until
! the bones were found to be those of a
calf
A VETERAN hunter of Danforth, Me-,
in attempting to kill huge bear with
a knife, was carried three miles on the
animals back before the wild beast
died from the loss of blood.

Patrick Matthews, of Shenandoah, Pa.
carrying, then knocked the man down
with stone, and, recovering mis- pack
age, escaped.
A TERRIBLE method of suicide was
adopted by a machinist of Waldheim,
Westphalia. He put the engine at its
highest speed and then threw himself
against the hy-wheel, which struck his
head off at once and tossed his body
against the wall with crushing force.
Rather violent, but dead sure.
A BOX containing big snake, con-
signed to King & Franklin's circus, fell
and broke open in the Southern express
office at Birmingham, Ala. The snake,
seven feet in length drove the other oc-
cupants from the office, and compelled
the night clerk to take refuge in the
vault, where he spent hours before the
snake was recaptured.
ONE of the largest devil fishes ever
caught in Puget sound was caught
near Port Madison the other day by
some fishermen. When first caught it
would measure, spread out, fifteen or
twenty feet across from tip to tip of its
arms. On each of its eight arms were
over two hundred suckers, making in
all upward of sixteen hundred.
THE latest fish story comes from
Ocala, Fla, where the cook at a res
taurant is alleged to have found dia-
mond ring in a fish's stomach. The
ring is of handsome design and contains
seven small stones set in circle, with
one larger than the rest in the center.
Inside the band on the lower side are
Engraved the letters S. E. L. The ring
IS valuable one, probably worth from
me hundred to one hundred and twenty
i've dollars.

SILVER COLLARS.

Put Around the Necls of Slaves Centuries
Ago.
In the London Gazette for March,
1856, there is an advertisement to the
effect that black boy of about fifteen
years of age, named John White, ran
away from Col. Kirke on the 18th inst.
4'He has silver collar about his neck
upon which is the coloneIs coat-of-
arms and cipher. He has upon his
throat a great ser, etc. A reward is
offered for bringing him back.
In the Daily Post of August 4. 1920. is
u similar notlce: ''WenJ away the ed
of July last from the house of William
Webb, in Limehouse Hole, negro
man, about twenty years old, called
Dick, yellow complexion, wool hair,
about five feet six inches high, having
on his right breast the word Hare
burned. Whoever brings him to the
said Mr.. Webb's shall have half guinea
reward and reasonable charges
Again, in the Daily Journal for Sep
TENDER 2s, 1928, is an advertisement for
a runaway black boy. 1t is added that
ne had the words my Lady Brom-
fields black in Lincoln's Inn Fields"
engraved on a collar round his neck
The degrading custom of decorating
male and female slaves in England
with collar bearing the name and des-
ignation of their owners had the exam
pie set for it in high quarter.
There still exists at Hampton Court
the bust of favorite slave of King
William Ill, the head of which is of
black marble, while encircling the
throat is carved white marble collar
with a paddock, in every respect like a
metal dog collar.
In the museum of the Antiquarian
society in Edinburgh there is a speci-
men of those slave collars, although in
this case the wcarer of the collar was
not black man, but white. The
collar bears the following Inscription:
Alexander Stewart, found guilty of |
death for theft, at Perth, December 5,
17O1 Gifted by the justiciaries as a
perpetual servant to Sir John Erskine |
of Alva.'
That a collar was considered as cs-
sential for black slave as for dog is
shown by an advertisement in the Lon
don Advertiser for 1856, in which Mat
thew Dyer, working goldsmith IT the
Crown in Duck lane, Orchard street,
Westminster, intimates to the public
that he makes ''silver padlocks for
blacks or dogs, collars" etc.-Charn-

Living without working.

1t is said that between the island OF
Madagascar and the coast of India there
are sixteen thousand islands, only six
hundred Of which are inhabited. In
any of these islands man can live and
support his family in princely luxury
without working more than twenty-five
days IN the year. In fact, on some of
these islands he needn't work at ali, as
nature provides the food, and no clothes
are required.
