A bson.ier shark That Was Captured on
the coast of Massachusetts,.
Il in ahcus big fish that / write.
but it ii bic story. saw the fish,
too. lis dimensions by actual
measrpc-ieAt and / saw the liver.
In the annals of Cape Cod, pub
lisl,ed by the Rev. Mr.. freeman in
1868, he mentions that in 1903 Prov
incetown had a regulation relating
to the carcasses of whales, sharks,
horse inackerel, etc., which required
that they be towed below low water
mark, which would indicate that
these marine animals were so COM
mon as to be in some degree often
sive in warm weather. Many OF
them were captured for their oil.
Right whales yielded 20, 40, so and
sometimes 100 barrels; humpbacks,
Is to % barrels; grampus, 1, 2 or 3;
blackfish, barrel; sharks, from l
gallon to z or barrels; porpoise, 2
gallons, arsi boatload of dogfish
yielded about barrel of oil.
Now my big fish was called shark,
though he WIS not of the man eating
or shovel nosed variety. Mr. N. E.
Atwood, a distinguished and practi-
cal ichthyologist of Provincetown,
pronounced the fish liver shark or
sea elephant, and considered it rare.
The fish was almost entirely white,
and as handsome in form as a mack
erel. He was caught in 1862, inside
of what is called Long Point, form
ing an outer boundary of Province
towns beautiful harbor.
The fishermen had spread their
seines there for mackerel and this
big fish had got entangled in them,
SO that he was easily pulled to the
shore, where the tide left him high
and dry. Being at that time engaged
in business in Provincetown, l was
invited to visit the monster and see
him cut up for the purpose of extract
ing his liver. By the way, all the oil
of shark is in his liver, while that
of whale, of course, is in his flesh,
or blubber. / took rule and meas
ured this shark and found his length
to be just thirty one feet, the breadth
of his tail was seven feet, and his cir
cumference in the thickest part six
teen feet.
The liver of this shark weighed two
tons, and this is how it was deter
mined: The liver was cut in pieces
and pitched into a dory; the dory
carried ton and half in weight be-
sides the rover, as has been proved,
bringing her down to her upper
streak; the dory was twice loaded
deep with this liver, and so the fish
ermen thought the weight was near
ly three tons, but to be within
bounds / concluded to call it two
tons, and so it is recorded in this
veracious chronicle. After the oil
had been tried out l found that it
made seven barrels full, and was
worth at that time $500. Belfast

The Rat Is Dangerous.

DIR. s. e. Weber, assistant state vet
erinarian Of Pennsylvania, advances the
theory that the rat is transmitter of
some of the most dangerous diseases
which afflict humanity, chief of which is
tuberculosis or consumption. He cites
the results of post mortem examinations
ON more than 1000 Of the animals in
proof of the theory, DIR, Weber says
that nowhere does the ubiquitous rat do
more harm as disease transmitter tn, N

comes into contact with the cattle and

The following story is told on a
member of congress who has been
named the Great Objector;" 1T is
said that he was going down Penn
sylvania avenue, Washington, as a
drove of sheep was coming up the
street. He stopped to look at them,
A member of the house, who was
going by, placed his hand ON his

them keenly through his glasses,

.Jaclues fnaudi. u young freseiitnan
twenty-four years old, is aton;shing TIE
people Of Paris with his marvellous feats
Of mental calculation, whichr sm pass
anything that has ever been known be-
fore of similar character. He per
forms multiplications and divisions Of
numbers Of twenty-four figures. and ex
tracts the square and cube roots of nun
bers with almost incredible rapidity
and an hour afterward he will repeat
every number written upon the black
board upon which he has been operat-
ing.
His memory Ia prodigious, but his
mnemonic powers are exclusively turned
toward numerical operations and alge
braic problems. The young calculator
scarcely knows how to read or write
and does not interest himself in any
other pursuit than calculating. which
amuses him constantly.
His method of multiplying is simple
and natural although different from the
common one. Instead of beginning at
the right by units he lnultiplies in
round numbers of a single figure each
and adds the products. In this way he
will multiply two sums Of three figures
each in six seconds
While Inaudi's power like that OF a
musician who plays "by ear without
knowing note. has fascination, it
cannot be reconciled with science, for
whose methods and formulas he has a
high disdain.
If Inaudi, however, could be persuad
cd to explain his mode of procedure
fully and allow it to be published. it
would certainly make a pamphlet well
worth reading and preserving as a
mathematical cuIiosity.-Youth's Com

A woman,s Immense Project.

It is Camden woman, now in Chi.
cago-Mrs N. E. Beasley by name-whc
claims to have perfect plan" for trans
porting grain by means of an iron pipe
line. We are told that the project sis
still in its incipiency," but Mrs. Beasley
is confident of final success. Mrs. B.
does not betray all her plans to the pub
lie, but womanlike, not being able to
wholly keep the secret, she favors us
with d hint of her railroad killing prof.
ect.
She tells us that the grain is to be car.
ried sin continuous ventilated shaft,
without friction; stream of grain to
move twelve miles an hour" The sta
tions which are to supply the motive
power are to be twenty-five miles apart,
and the cost Of constructing and equip.
ping line from Buffalo to the seaboard
is placed at $2O,000,OOO. A working
model is to be erected in Chicago this
fall.
This is no Worlds fair scheme, but a
legitimate commercial enterprise. AT
least Mrs. Beasley SO informs us.-New

rhe Bathing Costume.

People of refinement choose for their
bathing costumes those which, while
they are most comfortable and permit
the greatest freedom of the body, are
yet absolutely modest. We read and
occasionally see very elaborate suits of
white and pink and those that are
trimmed until they seem better suited
for Roman chariot race than sea
bath. However, very dark blue or black
coarse serge or flannel makes the most
comfortable suit, and perfect modesty is
achieved when this suit is in two pieces:
that is, the trousers which reach just
below the knees, and the bodice, which
comes up we'll about the throat and has
elbow sleeves, are in combination, max
ing one, while over this is worn the short
skirt which fastens to buttons about the
waist, the mode Of attachment being
hidden under canvas belt.
Long, black wool stockings are in
order, and if you are going to bathe
much and wish to keep them from
wearing out it will be wise to get them
q size larger, and to insert in their feet
the soles sold in the stores for knitted
slippers. Itisbest to wear a rubber cap,
and so protect ones hair from salt wa
ter, because this is certain in time to
injure it, though one often sees articles
recommending the salt bath for the hair.

Infiuence of One woman,s Club.


The Chautauqua County Political
Equality club was organized four years
ago, with eleven local auxiliary clubs;
it now has twenty-four auxiliaries with
a membership of 1,400, consisting Of
both men and women, with Mrs. E. NJ
Babcock, wife of Superintendent J. w.
Babcock, of the Dunkirk public schools,
as president. The aim of this club is to
secure to women an equal recognition
with men in every department Of life,
principally political life, believing that
the best government can be attained
only when both men and women exert
an equal influence in making and ex-
ecuting it's laws.
The women composing the club have
made thorough study of our national
government and are well acquainted
with its present and past. They have
penetrated into the greenroom, and be-
ieve that when woman sits and passive
~ views what goes on upon the stage,
knowing that it is but the tawdry gild-
ing Of much that is false and destructive
to mankind, she is derelict in her high
est duty. Through its legislators, last
winter this club got the bill passed
which allows women to vote for school
commissioners. Women now vote on
all school matters throughout the state.

rne rect may be the prettiest in the
world, but it is quite unnecessary to put
them 30 very much in evidence. They
will not escape notice If they are worth
being seen, and unless the young woman
is practicing for q season Of high kick
ing, in which case her room would be
the more approved place for rehearsal,
it would look much better, according to
old fogy notions, to not be quite so ready
to show her pedal extremities.
Girls also cross their limbs, which,
though nightly comfortable, is not ex-
actly the attitude Of lady. Many a
one in the exuberance of her spirits will
run down hotel piazza or the board
walk utterly regardless of the show she
is making of herself. Loud laughter
and an abundance of slang are points to
be corrected, for no matter how the men
seem to enjoy such a behavior, you may
be certain they will select for wives
girls who show none of these noticeable
tendencies. Philadelphia Times.

on the question of comforting the parlia'

difficult, however, to see how the legis

they are. For purposes of civil rights
and liabilities, all single women are
upon the same footing as men; 80 are ali

The Palais de rIndustrie in the
Champs Elysees, an international exhi-
bition of feminine arts, was opened on
Monday at Paris. M. Marious Vachon,
the director general Of the exhibition,
said on Monday afternoon: "The exhi-

made on the Champ de Mars in 1899.
1t contains many curious objects which
once belonged to celebrated women of
the past. The museums of Prague,
Vienna, London, Pesth, etc., have sent
many contributions. The BARRIERS of
Paris are represented by eighty wax
busts, fully illustrating the history of
hairdressing. One of the most interest

of feminine costume. Rosa Bonheur is

ton Of the exhibition, and the mother
Of President Carnot fills a similar posi-
ton in the educational section. Paris

Rings at Recent Weddines.

The old fashioned notion of ring in
the brides cake is being revived at
fashionable weddings. AT a recent
wedding there was besides ring a
dainty gold thimble as well, which was
a pretty enough wedding favor, but
ominously significant. The young won.
an who got it thought that she was des-
tined to sit by the fireside and sew for
the rest of her life. At another we'd
ding a ring was slipped around the stem
of flower in the brides bouquet and
tied to it with a bit of ribbon. When
the bride tossed her flowers back among
her waiting bridesmaids there was a
sharp scramble to see who should get
the ring blossom. Philadelphia Press.

Hints for the summer Girl.

i There was never time when women
appeared more attractive, were gowned
better or were more accomplished than
the present, yet there is freedom and
unconventionality in the manners of the
lkirl Of today, perhaps the outgrowth OF
the greater scope OF the mind accus-
toned to higher education, that is not
as charming in the eyes of outsiders as
the more quiet demeanor of those who
have not quite such advanced ideas.
It is no unusual sight to see girl
move back and forth frantically in q
rocking chair in full view of the public
In hotel corridor, and with every mo-
tina taxow her feei out in unison. Now
