A FIGHT WITH A SHARK.
Believe 1t or Not, as Your Faith Is Ii
Sharks and Men,


Believe 1t or Not, as Your Faith Is In
Sharks and Men.
"You landlubbers of to-day are Gym
ical lot of people" And Commodore
Tyrrell, in his righteous Indignation,
began to berate the scribe for daring to
dispute the yarn, which is left to the
reader to digest and absorb as he sees
fit
"Away back in the month of Novem-
Der, in the year 1864, before the war
was over, was serving on the good
ship Metacomet. We had been moving
southwark into the Campeachy banks,
where red snappers abounded by the
million. The schools of these fishes
were often miles in length, and with
hook and line we stood at the boats
side all day catching them by the hun
dred, using only large chunks of pork
for bait. No sooner would the bait
strike the water than the big fish
would swallow it, only the next mo-
ment TO be landed on the deck. The
heads were cut off and the fish packed
in barrels We filed on an average of
thirty barrels a day The heads were
then thrown back into the water, and
this naturally drew sharks. One day
the boats'n, Billy Wilson, was told to
make big hook with which to capture
a shark. 1t was fastened to the lead
line and baited with a six-pound chunk
of pork. Far out in the water it was
thrown for the shark to swallow; and,
inn
gan running out at speed that soon
required the application of water to
save it from scorching. When it came
to sudden stop Wilson and Gill, the
sailmaker, began to tire out the fish by
| taking in the line. At last, when It
was within ten feet of the vessel, a vol
! ley of rifle bullets was poured into it.
In an instant the shark turned again
and made a dart, jerking the line from
the mems hands and throwing them
overheard. Away and away it went,
and the work of firing it out was again
begun. When second time the large
white body was exposed to view num-
Der of volleys were fred into it, even
Capt Jewett taking hand from the
hurricane deck.
All hands, up shark
''The command rang out and one
hundred men with willing hands seized
the line, the next instant landing the
shark on the deck with a louder noise
than if fve-pound gun had been dis
mounted. Well, we cut that shark
open, and in the stomach we found an
old boot, tin can and about bushel
of fish heads. When the jaws were
propped open and the mouth was dis
tended it was big enough to allow a
nine-year-old boy to walk in without
STOPPING. That fish measured over six
teen feet in length, and we cut it up
and weighedit in sections 1t counted
up over two thousand pounds. Those
were the days, tell you. "-Cincinnati

When the World Falls to Pieces.

The leading English scientists, Jones,
Hilton, ct al, are figuring on the prob
abilities of the earth finally collapsing
as result of the modern craze of tap
ping natures gas retorts. They argue
that the earth is huge balloon held
up, in part at least, by heat and inter
nal gases, and that when nature S
great gas main is eventually exhausted
the earth's crust may break in and fall
into millions of fragments. Ugh! The
very thought of such a calamity is
Startling. They argue that the steady
belching forth of millions of feet OF
gas every hour of the day and night
is surely causing a great vacuum some
where not far beneath the surface, and
that sooner or later the thin archway
of earth crust will give way. Then
will occur the grand climax of all
earthly calamities.

sIN the shopping districts one some
times sees newsboy, with his bundle
of papers under his arm, gravely hold
ing open the door of carriage for my
lady. Sometimes she gives him some
thing, sometimes not; he takes the
chances on that.
AS A general thing the newsboy,
when on duty, devotes himself strictly
to hustling, but there crossed Madison
square, New York, the other evening,
a newsboy who, between cries of his
papers, smelled at a stable bouquet of
red flowers with evident pleasure.
THE year 1772 was a fearful one in
New York. One hundred and fifty-fve
cases of sunstroke occurred on july 4,
of which seventy-two proved fatal.
The principal thoroughfares were like

and ambulances were in constant
requisition.

A River Flowing Inland.

On the African shore, near the Gulf
of Alden, and connecting the Lake of
Assal with the main ocean, may be
found one of the most wonderful rivers
in the world. This natural curiosity
in the shape of a river does not flow to
but from the ocean toward the inland.
The surface of Lake Assal is nearly
seven hundred feet below the sea level,
and it is fed altogether by this para
doxical river, the latter being about
twenty-five miles in length. 1t is said
to be a wonderful fact that this river
of immense volume Especially at high
tide) furnishes exactly enough water
to counterbalance the extraordinary
evaporation of the lake, and that in
consequence the lakes surface re-
mains at a uniform level year after

Bush, the 10 year old son of Mr.. Bush,
living just east of this city. The boy
was chasing a COW which had gotten

pulled up and the horse reared and fell
over backwards on the young map,

young Bush's hip in two or three

The greatquantities of anthracitecoal
wasted by the unsuitable methods resort
ed to in preparing 1t for market is the
subjectsof complaint by Mr.. Harris. the
head official Of the Lehigh Coal COM
pany. These operations, he says. result
in reducing a. large proportion Of the
coal to sizes too small for commercial
purposes, the percentage Of waste from
this source averaging as high as2O per
cent of the coal hoisted from the coll
lieries, this, however, having been,some-
what diminished in recent years by the
utilization of the smaller sizes of coal.
He thinks that this process--resening
coal from the.waste heaps--is destined
to 60 mnchtfarther in the more general
use of coal in fineparticles. He believes
that 1t may not be going too far to as
sume that improved methods Of mining
and Of preparing local may insure the
use as fuel df ,one-half the coal now Ee-
manning, SO that itmay be reckoned that
there are still not far from 5000, ,000. 400
tons Of anthracitesevailab before the

present annud consumption of anthrs-
cite is about aQ,0OQ,0oO tons, and this

Various sanitariums and private hos
pitals are using 'the salt rub and 1t is
becoming so popular that some Turkish
bath establishments are advertising it as
q special attraction. 1t is just as good
for well people as sick ones, is the most
refreshing Of all the baths and rubs ever
invented, only excepting dip in the sea
itself, and is matchless in its effect upon
the skin and complexion. With all these
virtues, it is the simplest, most easily
managed of all similar measures, and
can be taken at home easily,
Put a few pounds of coarse salt, the
coarsest you can get, sea salt by prefer
ence, in an earthen jar, and pour enough
water on it to produce sort Of slush,
but not enough to dissolve tho salt. This
should then be shaken up in handfuls
and rubbed briskly over the entire per-
son. OF course it is better to have 1t
rubbed on by another person, but any
one in ordinary health can do 1t for her
self or himself very satisfactorily. This
being done, the next thing Is thorough
douchins ofclean water, preferably cold,
with brisk rubbing with dry towel.
The effect Of elation, freshness and re-
newed life is felt Immediately, and the
satiny and increased clearness and bright
