Fishing Extraordinary.

It is hard to tell. writes cores
pondent of q contemporary, whether
bird catching or fishing, as sport,
occupies the first place in the regard
of the men of Samoa. The men are
wonderfully expert and courageous,
especially in shark fishing, of which
they are very fond. The flesh of the
shark is the principal dainty at their
great feasts, and parties of men go
out in search OF them. Three fisher
men man each canoe, taking along
with them a strong -nOOsed rope of
bark tibre and quantity Of animal
offal.
When was at Samoa a shark-hunt-
ing party was organized In Onr honor.
and storm having just blown itself
out, we found the fish inshore, lying
under the lodges of rocks bordering
the lagoon. Some offal was thrown
overheard piece by piece. This served
the double purpose Of attracting the
sharks and g0rging them so as to
render them easy OF capture. The
water around us was soon alive with
sharks. AS soon as the offal had been
eaten the creatures retired to spots
where rocks Overhung stretch OF
smooth sand, and there, lazily ex-
tending themselves at full length,
lay half asleep.
The native at the stern of the ca
noe in which 1 was seated padded
slowly along. Presently we saw u
large cray fellow asleep. A raised
hand signalled the paddler to stay the
course of the boat The other ma
tive, 1.-THE, active fellow, let him
self quietly into the sea; and with
the rope in his hand, dived to the
bottom, quickly but gently slipped
the moose over the tail of the sleeping
fish, and returned to the surface.
When he had climbed into the canoe
we all three siezed the rope, and de-
spite the struggles of the fish. pulled
him out, hauling his tail clear of the
water and rendering the fish nearly
helpless. The two natives then took
command Of the rope, sending me to
the stern. Waiting until the fish re-
sumed its struggles. by peculiar
movement they easily jerked the fish
into the canoe. There a blow with a
club finished it.
The next shark we encountered,
had backed into crevice or hole in
the rocks, leaving only its head &C
cessible. This supposed quite out
OF reach, but our diver cooliy dropped
down and tapped the shark upon the
head. Sleepy and go!ged with food,
annoyed at the Interruption, and not
knowing exactly what it was, the
shark turned out with a swish in a
compass scarcely large enough to lie
in. AS it did SO it exposed its tail,
over which the moose was dropped,
with the same results as before.

BIG BURGLARIES.

II Takes Brains to Plan and Execute Them.
Very few people have an idea Of
the immense amount of labor, FORE
thought and scientific skill brought
to bear on q big burglary. The first
thing necessary is to find house con-
tanning sufficient valuables to repay
the trouble and risk. and this first
step alone may take many weeks
Let it be understood that only the
highest class of expert burglars are
meant; men with comfortable bank
ing accounts and houses of their own,
and who after reducing risk to a
minimum by elaborate plans, acquire
enough in one night to keep them in
affiuence and eminent respectabillty
for more than year, although hav-
ing but third share, as these burg
laries are invariably worked by three.
To illustrate the wonderful re-
source and leisurely way of proceed
ing adopted by burglars take a case
related by prominent detective.
The principal of the burglars in this
instance, having fixed ON a certain
house. was unable to acquire suf-
f1cient information concerning it and
the owners This man then went to
the local butcher supplying the house.
and applied for situation as driver
OF one of his carts which delivered
meat at customers residences After
producing unquestionable references
OOw obtained no one ever knew the
man was engaged on the round. which
included the house fixed upon
Incredible as 1t may appear, he
stayed with his employer for over
seven months, and gave the utmost
satisfaction; his only falling being a
weakness for chatting with the sery.
ants.
Five days after his resignation a
gigantic burglary was effected at the
house selected, and property valued
at over 100000 was stolen. The
thieves had smoked several cigars
and drunk q bottle of port, so
that they were in no hurry, and to
crown all the b6oty was conveyed to
its destination in the owners pony
phaton, which was duly returned the
same night but no real clew was at.
f0rded, and the burglars were never
captured.
On another occasion a chamber
maid was escorted out, with a view
to matrimony (and burglary for two
months before the event came of. A
conveyance is always at shaad. and
generally of stylish appearance: in
fact. Oh one occasion brougham was
used, which the passersby and even
the policemen on the beat imagined
was the property OF one Of the resi-
dents close by.
AS regards tools, very few are neces-
sarX owing to the skill and ingenuity
OF the operator. With a Jimmy,
sprcader. drill, few pieces of strong
bent wire and little gunpowder, the
expert burglar can make his way
anywhere. To these are sometimes
added set of 'stumblers These
are lengths of fine steel wire, with
pointed stakes about a foot long at
tached to each end, and half a dozen
Of these make but little bulk. These
stumblers are fixed on the lawn or
paths about the house in such IA way
that the wires are raised about six
inches from the ground, and prove
such success in case of pursuit that
the burglars are compelled to hang
pieces of white paper from the wires
in order that they may escape their
own traps, as they always run over
them
