A Golden Eagle CAPTURED.

The first golden eagle seen in the north
ern part of Ohio for a great many years
is now a captive at the home of Joseph
Maynes in Toledo. Mr. Maynes and
Peter Barquin were frog fishing in a
marsh near the edge of the city, along a
wooded bluff, and Maynes was just in
the act of spearing frog when the eagle
swooped down upon him, Selling him be-
tween the shoulder blades, it's sharp
talons cutting through his overcoat, a
thin undercoat and deeply into the flesh.
The bird beat its wings desperately, and
nearly lifted Maynes from his feet two
or three times.
While the bird was vigorously LAGER
ating his back and shoulders he con-
trived to turn sufficiently to strike it
with his frog spear. He then threw one
arm about the eagles neck and pounded
it upon the head with the spear, while
Barquin came to his assistance, and be-
tween the two they managed to conquer
it, and procuring rope fastened it to a
tree till arrangements could be made to
take it to the house. 1t is feet and
inches across the wings and weighs 80
pounds, standing feet inches high.
It is evidently rather young. Old citi-
zens declare it to be a golden eagle. The
plumage is of a dark russell color, nearly
brown. 1t has monstrous head, with
beak Al inches long. 1t ate Is SPAR

The Jelly Fish Is a Wonder Too

The jellyfsh lays thousands of tiny
eggs, which, being covered with natural
oars in the shape of numerous hairs, row
themselves into some quiet place and
settle down to await further develop
ments. These eggs do not turn to jelly
fish any more than the butterfy's eggs
turn to a butterfly. First stem springs
from each and then the stem subdivides
into numerous branches, each branch
being covered with tiny cups, the mouth
of each surrounded with small arms
technically called ''tentacles." This is
the first stage of the jellyfsh's life.
lNow comes the wonderful part of the
story. AS the warm weather advances
this stem, which grew from the original
egg and branched out like a vegetable
growth, begins to bud, and from each
tbud minute speck of animal life springs
forth. 1t is the young jelly fish swim
inning out to test the doctrine of ''sur-
lvival of. the fttest," and to do battle
with the innumerable other forms of or
ganiZed beings.-St Louis Republic.

There has lately been organized rent
guarantee company, the business OF
which is to insure landlords against loss
by bad tenants.
The scope of this company is little
wider than it would seem at first. In or
der to reduce its risks to minimum il
makes business of keeping informed as
to the standing of tenants, and for con-
sideration landlords are supplied with
information which often enables them to
keep undesirable tenants out of their
houses.
The business may still be said to be in
its experimental stage, but the idea
seems to meet with favor among land
lords. Insurance men believe the princi-
pie can be successfully carried out in
this direction, though the experience of
two or three companies may be neces-
sary before rates can be correctly estab-
ished and the business placed on a per-
feet basis Boston Globe.

used to often talk with Ralph. After
awhile Vernon went off to college and
came back with his mind full of skepti
cism. He talked his skepticism to Ralph
the workman. After awhile Vernon
went from home again. was gone fol
years, came back, and among his first
questions when getting home was
"Where is Ralph" "Ohr' said the ia
Their, Ralph is in prison waiting for the
day of execution"
Vernon fastened to see Ralph. Ralph,
looking through the wicket of the pris-
on, said: vernon, how good you are to
come and see me! am glad to see you.
I hardly expected you would come and
see me. I don't blame you; l don't
blame anybody; 1 only blame myself; but,
Vernon, 1 want you to promise me one
thing. Will your Vernon replied, Il
will" II want you to promise me never

body. You see it might do them harm.

in the Bible, and it didn't make any diff

By almost superhuman effort the SEN

THEY SKIM THE SALT SEA WAVE.
Something About Our Fast=Racing Yachts.

which they know from the nature of things is
destined TO be given to another craft.
The very large boats are so much faster than
the small ones that clubs having mainly third
class boats will often prohibit large ones carry
ing their flag. The Corinthan Yacht Club in
this way admits no yachts which are over 40
feet in length, and its regattas are much more
interesting in consequence, as they show large
feet on such occasions.
The San Francisco Yacht Club, on the con-
trary, with its feet mainly made up of large
craft. now seldom has a regatta. and its small
boats have decreased in number, while the
owners OF big yachts seem disiDclined to race
II is often source of surprise that the avn
ers of large and fast yachts do not more fre-
quenty arrange regattas or match races on
this bay. But the reason is, as previous "
stated, that by the results of past races the
relative standing of the vessels is recognlz lied.
Naturally the man who owns the fastest
yacht of his class is willing enough for more
contests which will add TO the fame and glory
of his boat, but the man who owns the other
one would rather talk about what he can do
than try 10 do it. For several years past yacht
racing has been on the decline in San Fran
cisco bay, except among The smaller of the
boats.
The public takes little interest in the con-
tests of third and fourth class boats. If half
dozen of the weil-known big fellows would
agree TO race the occasion would p,ing out
thousands of people fond of aquatic sports, but
they lay no attention 10 the small ones
1t should be borne in mind, however, that II
is matter of no small expense TO put one of
these large yachts in racing trim. In fact. 1t
costs about $1,000 to fit out for a race lasting a
couple OF hours; and this Notwithstanding the
fact that the boat appears to be in apple pie

What are the future prospects for shpbuild-
ing and kindred trades In San francisco?
In order to arrive at a reasonable answer to
such an inquiry we must consider, first, what
favorable circumstances are operating TO de-
velop such industries In this city. and, second,
what unfavorable conditions prevail here that
operate against the development of these in
dustres.
The favorIng circumstances are the natural
harbor facilities possessed by San Francisco;
the great coast line to the north and south of
this harbor which must be developed as the
needs of an increasing population require; the
natural Increase of the foreign commerce OF
this port which. though not large at present,
must expand as the products of our soil and the
results of our industries need outside markets
for their surplus productions. Our climate Is
also favorable to an Industry tnat must be to a
large extent carri d on out of doors.
The amount OF shipping engaged In the for.
eign and domestic tr de of this port requires a
large amount OF work for repairs. changes and
renewals, and in order to maintain the neces-
sary force OF wOrknen ready for extensive
repairs making sudden calls for large numbers
of men. new WORK must be under way as
foundation for steady employment. The neces-
sty which Is beginning to be felt, although as
yet scarcely amounting to sentiment among
the merchants and traders of this city, is TO
MAKE this the entry port for all imports con.
sumed by the western half of our country.
These may be summed up as the things ten d.

of the East sail was carried hard. The winning
boat was sailed by Captain John Eckley.
The most exciting and best contested race
ever sailed In this bay was that between the
Nellie and the Chispa. 1t was over what is
known as the channel course, from Meiggs
