DANGERS OF PEARL FISHING
How the Man. Eating Shark is Dealt
With.


The islands of Cubagua and Margarita
were the principal seats of the pearl fish
cry, which was also carried on eXtens-
lively in the Gulf of Paria ITSELF on the
coast of Cumana. The deep-water fish
ery-that is to say, the fishery in about
twelve tathoms-is conducted now pretty
much as it was in ColumU bus time. Men
accustomed from their infancy 10 an am
pnIblous sort of life, and trained to be eX-
pert divers, are engaged at the work, and
go down naked into the sea in order to
pick up the marvellous pearl-breederS
which lie at the bottom. In Ceylon the
pearl hsners go out III company in their
boats. Zach boat carries twenty men, of
whom ten are rowers and ten divers. The
dlVerS go down to depth OF from four
to ten tathoms. To assist them in their
descent they use a large stone of red gran
lte, having the smaller end bored so as to
admit rope which Is rove through il.
When about to dive, the diver seiZes the
rope with the toes of his right foot, and
with the left foot secures a network bag
for his oysters. He then takes hold of
another rope with his hands and is let
down from the boat to his dlving-ground,
the stone helping to sink him. When at
the bottom he casts himself loose from
the stone, picks up his oysters. and when
ready to return jerks the rope by which
he was let down, and he is then hauled
3
Its own rope.
The chief danger the divers have to en-
counter, after the preliminary physical
difficulties attendant upon diving and
working at so great depth have been
got over, is from ground sharks. The
divers IN the Persian Gulf are wont to
resort to magic and 10 religious enchaut-
ments In the Ihope of guarding against
these horrible creatures; but as an addi-
tlonal and more effective precaution they
are armed with short stick, pointed at
either end, which they thrust into the
sharks mouth, they themselves getting
away while the monster is engaged in
trettlng over his uncomfortable meal. A
story is related Of one diver who, having
explored rock on which he expected TO
| IND oysters, was about TO return to the
surface OF the water, when, casting his
| eyes upward, he saw huge ground-shark
| lying in wait for him and cutting off his
| retreat. Terrified at the sight, and un-
! able 10 get out OF range, he was begin-
! ming to give himself up for lost, when
! happy thought occurred to him. He took
! his sharpened stake, which was too small
| to stop the jaws OF the shark, and, going
! TO sandy nook OF the rock, began TO stir
! up the mud, and to make such IA dust in
the water" as to effectually obscure the
! enemy's vision. Having continued this
! until he was forced to quit for want of
! breath, he swan off hastily in another
! direction, and arrived at the surface eX-
hausted but in safety. At the top he was
! rescued by the boat in attendance, practi-
cally none the worse for his alarming eX-

CHICAGO. July LIN Chicago aad Vi
cinity today was spent by the two CON-
tending forces in the great railway
strike in playing waiting game, each
side narrowly watching for the next
move OF the other. Railway officials
profess to be sanguine of the ultimate
defeat OF the strikers, and the latter
equally certain of final success. At
number OF vantage points throughout
the city efforts were made to move
freight trains which were promptly
frustrated by strikers and their symra-
thizers, who pounced upon these trains,
carried off the links and pins, set
brpkes and chseed away the men thus
engaged, retiring whenever q superior
force OF police appeared on the scence.
Beyond few minor scrimmages in
which no damage was done, the day was
fairly quiet. Passenger traffic on most
OF the roads was not seriously inter
fered with where Pullman cars were
not handled, except at Blue Island,
where the Rock Island trains are
still held up, both sides remaining stub
born and the long suffering passengers
bearing the brunt of the discomforts of
the delay.
One hundred deputy marshals Will 90
to Blue Island early in the morning.
Altogether no decided stvantage can be
claimed for either side, but owing to
reports that the sheriff has called on the
governor for troops, tomorrow's develop
ments are awaited with keen interest II
not anxiety. The troops at Fort Sher-
man are being held in readiness to
respond at any moment to a call for
their services to protect property from
the strikers.

George N. Pullman had quietly left the

council will discuss the advisability Of
taking similar action at meeting to be
