SwORDFISH ARE FIGHTERS,
1t Is a Great Battle When Two of
Them Come Together.
Co, Ero-o;So1 Nb~o,;

N~
A short time ago the attention of the
passengers on a steamer off the southern
California coast was attracted by what
was evidently a fight between two sea MON
sters. What appeared to be a mountain of
foam first caught their attention; then an
enormous tail was seen tossed into the air.
Then the monster preached and rolled over
and over, beating the water into foam
with resounding blows that could be heard
a mile or more with the wind. Nothing but
the great black mass could be seen, and for
twenty minutes the strange sight con-
tinued to the wonderment Of the voyagers
If the steamer could have approached
struggle between a large whale and a foe
of insignificant size. Beneath the water
several swordfsh,. or possibly one. We're
literally prodding the large animal to death,
running their sharp swords into it's un-
wieldy form until the creature was in a
perfect fury. and could only fling it's huge
tail about in impotent rage. Such incidents
are by no means rare at sea, and the pres
ence of the swordfsh as the cause of the
trouble is often disputed. but in nine cases
out OF ten II is the offender. Enraged for
some reason at the presence of the whale,
il dashes repeatedly at its sending its sharp
sword into 1t, and in some instances pro-
ducing its death. The unrelenting and fe-
rocious nature Of the swordfsh is not gem
orally known, but the latter may be set
down as among the most dreadful of all
fishes. considering the damage it does and
the havoc IL plays among other fishes. 1t
may be said that the fish is utterly with
out fear and will, like a Cape buffalo or a
rhinoceros, charge anything that offends
the eye. in this way often doing an amount
of execution hardly to be believed did not
the evidence exist.
The combats with its'own kin are most
interesting, and may be compared to two
expert swordsmen who have rushed 10 the
contest, not with foils but rapiers. and
fence for blood. Such a contest was OBJ
served in California waters not long ago.
Some fishermen noticed two big fish leap
ing out of the water and dashing along at
the surface. Soon they saw that they were
swordfsh. The season was when the fish
are supposed to be pairing, and the males
are unusually ferociols. They had made
several rushes. and when observed were
erful side blows like cavalryinen. This
was unsatisfactory. and finally they sep
arated and darted at each ether like ar
rows, the water Kissing as their sharp
dorsal fms cut through II. They evidently
struck head-on, one missing, while the
sword Of the other struck just below the
eye and .ploughed a deep furrow N the
fish, partly disabling 1T, so that it turned
and attempted TO escape. But its adver-
sary, now thoroughly aroused. also turned,
and with a rush drove its sword complete
ly through its body and, despite it's strug-
gles,a held II fast. only wrenching its
weapon loose when Its enemy stopped
swimming. This one lunge had finished
l the battle. a the victor left the deld.

The chief food of the Coreans is pap. that
Is, rice washed in salt water and boiled,
aration gives the rice a snowy whiteness,
and makes it very appetizing. 1t Is poured
out into a pail. around which the members
of the family squat down and eat AS in
China, they eat with spoons and sticks;
knives and forks are unknown. The plate
is usually of copper.
The Corean is rather partial to a soup
called kimchi: this is beef boiled with tur-
nips, onions, radishcs and various roots,
highly seasoned with pepper and salt, and
an odor which battles description. When a
coolie has eaten of this elicacy he is in a
position to give the polecat a long start in

unless he is about to enjoy a days holiday.
Fish holds an important part in the cook

and even rotten. The natives do not disdain
to eat il raw; it Is not an uncommon thing

In addition to kimchi and dog soup, the

Belated Sea Serpent story.
'ew York Evening Post.

Sea-serpent stories when told in good
faith generally are attributed to hallucina-
ton. but the latest report that comes from
Hammerfest, Norway, must be either a lie
simple and wilfu.. or else something like
the truth. This apparition Is said to have
taken place In July. hut IL Is only now that
the details have been collected from the
fishing population who witnessed 1t. The
serpents. for there were two of them, are
declared to have lain of a fishing village
for a whole day, apparently basking in the
sun. One of them lay so close in that the
fishermen dared not put OUT their boats.
They estimated the length of the creature
at $50 feet. and their description of its ap-
pearance comedies with that given by
many earlier witnesses. including the Off
GERS of the British man-of-war Doedalus.
The serpent afterward passed close to two
boats. the one belonging to Hammerfest,
the other to a neighboring parish. The
men whose evidence has been taken are
all experienced men. accustomed to the ap-
p~earance and skilled in the capture of
every kind OF sea animal, and not at all
likely to be deceived by floating wreckage.
shoals of fish or PROPOSES. Z all events,
the report is as formal and as positive as
IL can be made. and must be accepted as a
statement of fact or a sheer invention
from end to end.

These birds were first brought TO this ooun-
try from South Africa for farming pur-
poses in 1889. Experiments were tried
with them at various points in the south
ern part of California until it was proved
that the soil and climate were entirely
adapted To them, and there is no reason
now why ostrich farming should not be

The Future Of Electricity.

In the nearer foreground ! see a practi-
cal method for the production Of electrici-
" directly from the burning Of coal. This
achieved, there necessarily follows the uni
versal adoption Of the electric motor as a
prime mover, the RELOCATION Of the steam
engine to the scrap heap and the almost
immediate realization Of the airship as
means Of transportation.
Assuming the cause Of chemical affini-
" to lie in the unlike electric charges Of
the combining atoms, see the practical
realization of electric synthesis, whereby
wholesome food products will he directly
formed under the potency OF electric Atm
titles. / see, too, a marked advance in
electro therapeutics. whereby human life
will be prolonged and its sufferings allevi-
ated. Diagnosis and prognosis will be
profoundly aided by exact electrical meas
urenents Of the various organs Of the hui
man body as regards their electro motive
force and resistance. The electrotherapist
of the future will employ electric charges
and currents for restoring the normal
charges and currents Of the body as well
as for the stimulation of nervous or mus
cular Tissues.
