The Eye OF the shark.

The eye of the shark is small, long
and narrow, closely resembling that of
pig. All observers have agreed in
attributing to it a sly and malicious ex-
preston, but this must to some extent
be taken as a flight of fancy. The only
real reason for attributing to the shark
savage disposition is that, like the
wolf he has no pity whatever for
eomrade in distress, and that a wounded
shark win be instantly attacked and de-
voured by his companion. This is, in
deed, an evil trait in the creature, and
can only be excused ON the ground of
his prolonged fasts and the overmas-
tering demands of his appetite. Lon

Sponges are prepared for export in
the following manner: After being
bought in the local market they are
carted to the shipping yard of the pur-
chaser, where they are cut and trimmed
into proper shapes and sizes. They are
then washed and thoroughly dried, be-
ing generally spread in the sun for that
purpose upon canvas or old sails.
Next they are assorted according to va
rieties, and then packed by means of
hand presses into bales weighing from
20 to $50 pounds. Sometimes the
sponges are bleaehed by being passed
through solution of white lime and
water, SO weak as not to iniure the
fber of the sponge. Science.

BOYS on Horsebaok.

The children, particularly the boys,
in southern Tennessee, learn to "sit a
horse" well at an early age, and lady
who has spent some time in southern
Tennessee says that it is by no means
an uncommon sight to see a sturdy boy
of eight or nine years sitting so firmly,
yet gracefully, on his horse that it al
most seems as if he had grown fast to
the handsome creatures back, riding
rapidly along the dusty pike, with an
umbrella held easily over his head to
protect him from the broiling sun.
Such a boy, if he belongs to one of
the old and aristocratic families of the
place, is probably riding to school or
on some errand to a neighbors.

NOW. HERr IS A eeAR STORY.
The Trapped Brute Assisted BY Another
Bear On Carving OF the Trap.


The Trapped Brute Assisted by Another
Bear In Carrying on the Trap.
Not long ago COW died in the vicin-
fly Of the Gunn ranch. near the head
Of Goose creek, south of Wagon Wheel
gap. 1t soon became apparent TO VIII
liam Quinn, owner Of the ranch, that
the carcass of the COW was being visited
by bear Of very large dimensions. and,
m company with Dell McCleland, Mr..
Guinn decided to ''sit up" with the
bear and endeavor to get a shot at it
Dy night. This was done, but owing to
darkness the bear was not killed by
shots fred.
As the next resort, large bear trap,
weighing about seveniy-fve pounds,
was procured and set near the dead
''critter," and the trappers went to bed
laughing at the trick they had played
on the bear. The trap was chained to
pole eighteen feet long and eight
inches through at the large end.
In the morning an examination of
the promises about the dead COW
showed plainly that the bear and a
cub had been there during the night.
There was a large track, eighteen
inches long and six or seven inches
wide, and a small track evidently
made by cub. The trap, however,
was gone, and with it the eighteen foot
pole, and the disturbed condition of
the ground showed conclusively that
the bear had been caught in the trap.
The trail, however, away from the
scene. was only the trail Of two bears
there was not a mark of dragging either
trap or pole.
Mr.. Quinn took up the trail, which
he followed eight miles without com
ing upon the bears, trap or pole. At
the camp of Mr.. Tom Carey, seven
miles away, that gentleman told how
in the night he had been Awakened by
a sound as of something walking, with
an occasional pause and heavy fall on
the ground, as though something had
been dropped. Having no gun Mr.
Carey sat up in his tent the balance of
the night and endeavored to keep
warm by poking wood into a sheet iron
stove.
The trail was followed a mile or so
further and then lost. In one place
the bears had passed through heavy
quaking aspen thicket and had literally
moved swath through the saplings,
showing that the trap and pole we're
being taking along.
The natural inference is that the bear
was caught in the trap and had picked
up the same with the pole and started
for the hills. The bear is an old of
fender in these parts and Mr.. Quinn
hopes to find it yet.
Later-A man just in from the head
of the San Juan reports that he passed
the bears on the Pagosa road, beyond
Summitville, jogging contentedly along,
each carrying one end of the pole, while
the old bear was caught in the trap by
the right foot front San Juan Pros
