blood was pouring from a large wound in his
back. The boy was removed to. q hospital
where a number of physicians examined the
wound. Both boys asserted that it was the
result of a sharks bite, and several OF the
physicians declared emphatically, that the
marks of the brute's teeths. were plainly vi
sible. The other doctors were not so GER
tain. AS soon as Mr.. Oelricha heard of the
case, he began an investigation. The boys
stuck out to their story, and both gave
detailed descriptions of the appearance of
the shark.
They even produced witnesses, who de-
clared that they, too, had seen him.
Then Mr.. Oelrichs Jaw the physicians,
who strengthened the boys story and
correspomdingly lessened Mr. Oelrichs's be-
lief in his own theory. But he was deter
mined to sift the story thoroughly and so
he examined the boys back himself. The
scars of the wound were plainly visible and
Mr.. Oelrichs at once decided that they
could never have been made by a sharks
teeth. He had prepared a diagram OF a
sharks teeth and compared it with the
marks of the wound. The former were re-
gular while the latter we're not. Then he
had the bay dragged where the boy had
been seized, and q lot of Jagged tin vas
found on the bottom. Comparisons proved
that the points of the tin had entered the
boys back, and, being bent, had held him
for a few moments until his struggles had
freed him.
The truth of this theory was proved to the
satisfaction of everybody connected with
the case, even the boys being less sure about
the shark when the, saw the later devel-
opment. So far, therefore, Mr.. Oelrich's
assertion has not been disproved.

ENGLAND AND GERMANY AT
CHICAGO.
The Royal Commissioners from these Nations
and from Denmark are Enthusiastic
over the Worlds Fair.

The Royal and Imperial Commissioners
from Great Britain, Germany and Denmark,
who spent a week in Chicago, recently, look
ing into Exposition matters, selecting build
ing sites, making known their wishes and post
ing themselves generally on World'sFai mat
terS, departed with most satisfactory impress
sions, and with the announced determination
of making very favorable reports to their re-
pectiva governments, and of exerting them.
selves to have them extensively represented
at the Fair. At a banquet given at the
Palmer house, to the Commissioners upon the
eve of their departure, they spoke in high
praise of the prospects of the exposition. A
few selections are quoted:
From Sir Henry Truman Wood
1t was my duty, not long ago, to write a
report upon the Paris exhibition Of 1889, and
in that report l stated that it appeared to my
self that no finer buildings could be erectedg
no more magnificent exhibition conceived of
than the Paris exhibition. Soon afterward L
found that a precisely similar statement had
been made in regard to the Paris exposition Of
1867, by no less ALI authority ON the subject
than Sir Henry Cowle. And now and again
I find that as / gave Sir Henry Cowle the lie
so you are doing the same kind Office to my
self. I make no doubt that the Exposition
that is now arising on the confines of your
city will as far surpass 1889 as 1889 surpassed
1867.
From Mr.. james Dredge-
The British royal commission is composed of
a thoroughly representative body of men,
and am authorised to assure you that not
only their sy mpathies, but their active aid is
enlisted in your service. / may, Think,
confidently predict that the large space you
have SO generously allotted to US i'll your beau
tiful art building will be filed with such
works as will do justice to the English ccLoOl
of art.
must admit that when it was first decided
that the Columbian Exposition should be held
in this city I had doubts as to the fitness of the
selection but, gentlemen, those doubts have
lately disappeared. They left me three days
ago, after a three days visit to this city. Now.
I say that Chicago is pre-eminently the fttest
place for such q celebration.
From Herr Wermuth-
We have never doubted that this EXPOSE
ton will be a great success. and have consider
ed it as a welcome opportunity of maintaining
and of strengthening the vast commercial and
social relations SO happily existing between the
