A TWO-TON LIVER.
IT Belonged to q Mammoth Monster OF
the Deep.

1t Belonged to Mammoth Monster OF
the Deep.
1t is about a big fish that write, but
it is true story, says a writer in the
Belfast Age l saw the fish, took his
dimensions by actual measurement and
saw the liver. In the annals of Cape
Cod, published by Rev. Mr.. Freeman in
1868, he mentions that in 1903 Province
town had regulation relating to the
carcasscs of whales, sharks, horse
mackcrel, etc, which required that
they bc lowed below low-water mark,
which would indicate that these marine
animals were so common as to be in
some degree offensive in warm wealth
err Many of them were captured for
their oil. Right whales yielded twenty,
forty, eighty and sometimes one hun
dred barrels; humpbacks, fifteen to
twenty barrels; grampus, one, two or
three; blacl1fish, one barrel; sharks,
from one gallon to seven or eight bar
rels; porpoise, two gallons, and boat
load of dogfish yielded about one bar
rel of oil. Now, my big fish was called
shark, though he was not of
tho man-eating or shovel-nosed va
riety. N. E. Atwood, distin-
guished and practical 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 maclkerel. He was caught in 1862,
inside of what is called Long Point,
forming an outer boundary of Prov
incetown's beautiful harbor. The fish
ermen had spread their seines there for
mackerel, and this big fish had got en-
tangled in them all about him so that
he was easily pulled to the shore, VIII ere
the tide left him high and dry. Being
at that time engaged, in business In
Provincetown was invited to visit the
monster and see him cut up for the pur-
pose of extracting 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 a rule and
measured this shark, and found his
length to be just thirty-one feet; the
breadth of his tail was seven feet and
his circumference in the thickest part
sixteen feet.
1 have stated that the liver of this
shark weighed two tons, and this is
how it was determined: The liver was
cut In pieces and pitched into a dory;
the dory carried a ton and a half In
weight besides 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 fishermen
thought the weight was nearly three
tons, but to be within bounds conclud.
ed to call it two tons and 1t is so record
ed in this veracious chronicle. After
the oil had been fried out I found that
1t made seven barrels full and was
worth at that time two hun bred dol
lars.

school-reachers at the Worlds Fair

School-Teachers at the Worlds Fair
A plan to utilize all the schoolhouses
in Chicago IS dormitories for teachers
visiting the worlds fair is being agi
tated. Mrs. Solomon Thatcher, Jr., one
of the lady managers, advanced the
idea, which has been generally APP
proved. She says there are more than
three hundred thousand school-teachers
in the country, who viii probably attend
the fair, and that nominal fee from
reasonable proportion of them would
pay the expenses of Transforming every
schoolhouse in Chicago into lodging
house and keeping it in perfect order.
There are nearly two hundred and fifty
public school buildings, all Of them
large structures, which could thus be
utilized. 1t is believed that a majority
of the teachers of the country will spend
portion at least of their vacation in
viewing the exposition. If they could
be provided with lodgings as indicated,
at mere nominal expense, they would
surely be greatly accommodated.

THE Father of Chico" is what his
neighbors call General John Bidwel,

bearer of the prohibitionists. He
went to California with the first
overland emigrant train in 1941.
In 1910 he was a member of the first
constitutional convention, and the fol-
lowing year was elected to the state
senate. He was a member of congress

quired wealth variously estimated at
from 81 ,OOO, 900 to $4,OOO,0 For years
his residence has been in Butte county,
where he has one of the largest fruit
ranches in. the state. He used to make
wine from his grapes, but since becom-
ing a prohibitionist he converts tie
wine into vinegar.

An Ideal Motor.

1t is said that an ingenious Chicago
inventor has devised method by which
the trolley system of running street
cars by electricity may be successfully
worked through an underground wire.
1t is hoped among those interested that
the announcement is true, but thus far
we have only an inventors word for it,
and he may be oversanguine. The troll
ley system is the cheapest and most
effective method Of applying electricity
to street cars that has yet been devised,
and the only real objection to it is the
overhead wire, and that objection is
fatal in large cities An underground
wire would be as unobjectionablea as a
cable, and would furnish an ideal motor
for street cars. The hope, therefore, is
entertained that this alleged invention
will prove to be practical

A RECENT dispatch from Goodland,
Kan, says a drought of three weeks
was broken by an artificial rain. The
farmers had become respondent over
the situation. when they contracted
with rain company to cause bounti-
full rain. The operations were begun
and were conducted on the Melbourne
plan. Rain began to fall and continued
falling nearly all night, doing invalu-
able good to crops. The farmers, of
course, attribute the rainfall to the
rainmakers and are enthusiastic over
the latter's success.

THE electoral college this year will
have 444 votes, making 1923 the majority
the winner in the presidential race
must have. The solid south will give, it
is believed, 159 of these votes. New
Jersey will add 10 and Michigan at least
4, bringing the sure votes to 173. Con-
necticut will probably add 6 votes, In
diana Is and New York SO, making the
outcome $50. If, therefore, the demo
Gratis do as well this year as they did in
1876 and 1884 they will win. They
think they have new chances in various
western states that they never had be,
fore. 1t is not at all unlikely that they
will have some new western electoral
votes

Tides in tho Mediterranean.

For practical purposes the Mediter-
ranean may be accepted as being what
it is popularity supposed to be, a tideless
sea, but it is not so in reality. In many
places there is distinct rise and fall,
though this is more frequently due to
winds and currents than to lunar attrac-
ton. At Venice there is rise Of from
one to two feet in spring tides, accord
ing to the prevalence Of winds up or
down the Adriatic. In many straits
and narrow arms Of the sea there is a
periodical hux and rehux, but the only
place where the tidal influence, prop
erly so called, is Enthusiastically observed
Is in the gulf of Gabes, where the tide
runs at the rate of two or three knots
an hour and the rise and fall varies from
three to eight feet.

A RESIDENT of st. Louis was greatly
shocked the other day on finding a
''water puppy" in a bucket of water
he had just drawn from the hydrant-
1t was about four inches long and thin
enough to slip through the spout of a
hydrant with the utmost ease. The
water puppy is species of lizard, spot
ted yellow and black, which abounds
in stagnant water.

A RESIDENT of Boise City, Idaho, has
made a discovery which may be of
great value to the sagebrush districts
of Idaho, Utah, Nevada and other
states. Some time ago he became i'm
bued with the idea that the sagebrush
might be converted into the coarser
grades Of paper. He secured a wagon
load of the supposedly useless herbs
and began to experiment. By using
the lime process and treating the brush
to protracted boiling he secured a
pulp that more than satisfied his expec-
tations. The discoverer states that he
can manufacture sagebrush paper at a
small cost, and that he can make n
profit by selling it at four and quarter
cents pound.

body. He has a fiat head, long, wide
mouth and eyes like an alligator. His
legs and arms are fat and crooked at
the joints; he can neither talk nor walk,
but bellows and crawls like reptile.

taken refuge from the rain under the
