DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
Proposal Accepted.

Proposal Accepted.
The Commissioners have accepted the
proposal of VIM. E. Stockett & Company
to furnish twelve photolithograph sets of
the plats of subdivisions of the various
squares of the city of Washington for the
sum of $3.50.
To Investigate.
The Commissioners have informed Sec
rotary Joseph X. Potter of the Federation
of Labor that the inspector of buildings
has been instructed to investigate the mat
ter of the alleged hollow walls in the school
building in Southeast Washington, and that
he is ready to plug the walls soon as a
committee of the federation reports to him
to witness the investigation.
More Buoys.
The Commissioners have forwarded let
ter to Secretary Carlisle requesting him, II
consistent with the rules of the Treasury
Department, to have the chairman of the
light house board provide for furnishing
and placing five white buoys in the Poto-
mac river at Washington at such points as
may be designated by the harbor master
The use of the buoys is found to be abso-
1utely necessary for the proper enforce
ment of the act of March 9, 1895, establish
ing harbor regulations for the District of
Columbia.
Taxes in Arrears.
The Commissioners have ordered that the
payment of taxes in arrears and special
assessments on lot II, square go. assessed

ance with the opinion of the attorney for
the District, and that upon payment of
taxes the subdivision of lot II, part of lot
o and all of P, square go, be put on
record. This is the case where a public
alley was dedicated to the District by Mrs
Jordan upon the condition that the penal
ties on her property be removed, and as
the alley was regarded as public neces-
sity, the Commissioners accepted the con-
ditions imposed.

a sprig which was taken out OF the
wedding bouquet Of the Empress
Frederick in 1858. It has been rule
at court that at every royal marriage
in which either bride or bridegroom

when Princess Alice married Prince
Louis Of Hesse, ut Osborne, in 1862,
and It has been continued until to.

myrtle, which have been sent by the
Queen to st. Petersburg expressly
for this purpose.

How Sailors Rid Themselves 81 Q
aav0nous Shark.

Vovo00Uo Suoek.
One OF the oldest sea captains who
visit this port is German who years
ago left his fatherland to take service
in one Of the English vessels plying
between London and the East Indies.
In conversation few days ago he
gave nm account Of his most ex-
citing experience.
"A great shark" said he, had
followed us-our vessel was not very
large-for five days, on one Of my
early voyages. 1t was impossible to
satisfy his ravenous hunger, and he
swallowed almost everything that
we threw overheard. We tried in
vain to capture the animal and nj.
most decided to give up the attempt,
Then nnhappily, my cabin.boy died,
and We, OF course, made preparations
to bury him us sailors wish to be
buried, In the depths Of the SEQ.
We watched closely for the shark on
the morning Of the funeral. naturally
not wishing him to make a meal OF
TIM ships little favorite. We had
not seen him for an hour or more,
ard believed the time favorable for
the burial. But We had been de-
colved. The body, loaded with
cannon balls to carry 1t to the bottom
OF the sea, had just touched the
water when the great shark opened
its mighty jaws and swallowed IL.
Tho sailors who had lowered the
body were almost drawn overheard
BY the forceful pull OF the shark.
This angered the seamen beyond
endurance. and they swore that they
would kill the creature. They pre-.
pared bomb, which was made to
explode under the water In q certain
time, inclosed 1t In q cowhlde and
threw II to the shark when he again
appeared near the ship. Tho cow
hide quickly disappeared. As a rule
the shark. after getting something
IN Its mouth, swan away from the
vessel q considerable distance In
oeder to cut tho morsel. We, OF
course, expected It to do the same
thing this time, as tho ship might
he endangered by the coming explo.
sion. But, to the terror OF all Of US,
the shark remained In close proximity
70 tho vessel. Ono OF the sailors
suggested that tho bite was not large
enough to Inconvenience the mon ter
ind proposed that we make a larger
package for his stomach. 1t was
done rs quickly as possible.
"One Of tho seamen got o sack
Shich was filled with old rags and
other useless things and throw Il
into the water. The Jaws opened,
but he could not get the stun down
his throat easily, 80 he swan away,
to tho great delight Of all on board.
But the time had come for tho OK.
plosion, and We waited with quick.
beating hearts Tor 1t. praying that
he would keep away from the ship.
We could just sec the fish start
below the surface, when a dull sound
was heard. tho waters parted and
flew in the mir. The shark was dl.
vided into pieces and our danger was
past shall never forget our terror
while the animal remained near vi
with that bomb In his inside.

Cats Eyes.

The pupil OF n cats eye ordinarily
appears us u long, narrow oval, or a
straight. vertical black line. The
animal seems to DO looking through
mere Sits in the iris OF its eye, es.
pecially when it faces tho light. In
semi darkness the pupil widens into
n beautiful oval. Que Ii accustomed
to regard tho narrowness Of the pup.
II as tho distinguishing popularity
Of tho eyes OF cats. All animals OF
the cat family share this peculiar
ity.
Aud yet, according to the results
OF a scientific investigation Of cat .
eyes, recently made In England by
Lindsay Johnson, the natural shape
OF their pupils Is circular.
by varying the quantity OF light
entering tho eyes he has seen the
pupils of cats and tigers change
from straight limos to perfect circles,
and while under the influence of
atropine, which suspends for u time
the muscular control of tho eye,
they are always circular.
The normal form OF the cats pupil
is, then, the same rs that of the hui
man pupil, but when submitted to
the influence of light its behavior
differs. In II bright light our pupils
become very small circles, while
those OF u eat turn into ovals or mar.
row Sits. The general effect Is tho
same in either case, namely, to d.
minish the quantity OF light passing
into the eye.
Curiously enough, in the larger
animals OF the cat tribe, such as
tigers, the pupil sometimes behaves
exactly like the human pupil, and
when brightly illuminated contracts
into u minute circle instead OF be.
coming linear. In the case OF domes-
tic cats, the older the animal the
more frequently does the pupil of
the eye assume circular form.
