SHARK CATCHERS.
Nearly Every thing in the Monsters Can he
Turned to g cd Account.

From the New York sun.
Shark hunting has now become an es-
tablished industry I'm the waters of
Long island and IL IS found to be profit
able in portions OF Great South bay. 1t
IS a common thing for a single boat to
XII half a dozen sharks in a day. The
body of the shark was supposed for a
great many years to be worth little or
nothing as an article of commerce and
for this reason sharks were allowed to
live and propagate unmoleSted. Now
(. is understood that every part of the
body of a shark has value. The skin
is worked up into an excellent imitation
OF alligator skin, from which pocket
books. travelling bags, belts. etc, are
made. The flesh and bones of the shark
are eagerly sought by the fertilizer fac
tories on account of the great amount
Of PHOSPHORUS they contain. one or
the best CLUES yet discovered can be
made from the backbone, but owing to
the strong odor for which no remedy
has vet been found, shark glue is not
vet n marketable article.
The manner of capturing the animal
Is interesting. a day on which the wind
IS blowing a good, sim breeze Is pest
for shark hunting. \ shark rarely feeds
on a day when the surface of the water
is smooth The shark hunter puts out
~ the deep channels where the man
eaters feed. The fishing boat Is gener-
allv of 10 tons burden. II the tide Is
running strong enough to scatter them,
several bunkers are thrown overheard
al the stern OF the boat. Strange as II
NY seem. a shark Will not touch food
that IS not in motion or has not SEM
blance of being alive.
After the fishermenl had thrown over
hoard enough bunkerS to attract the
sharks TO the neighborhood of the
smack. long ropes with alright kegs
ar. run out over the sides OF the vessel.
ON the under side Of each key is
swivel ring and 70 this four-stranded
h.np rope several feet long IS attached.
A steel hook foot long and made al
ter the fashion Of a regular bluehSh
nook = baited with a big bunker. A
chan connects the hook and rope TO
ur.yent the shark from biting the line.
The keg on the surface OF the water
SWANS and gives the bait on me hook

THIRTEEN MONTHS IN 1900.

The present arbitrary division of
the months into 80 and 31-day
periods, with February but IS, is a
bothering arrangement, having no
advantage, and is endured simply
because it is the esta blished order
of things The suggestion is now
made that the year 1900 would be
a good starting point for an inn
provement. 1t is proposed that
with the new century we start in
with a year of thirteen months
rather than twelve. The Scientific
Americ an has an article favoring
the change, in which its effect is
thus described:
If such a division were made the
first twelve months would havejust
twenty-eight days, or four weeks
each, and the new month twenty
nine, to make 365, and thirty in
leap years. After a few DAYS there
would be no need to refer to calen-
dars, as the same day of the week
would have the same date through
the year. If January l were, say
Monday, every Monday would be
the lst, Sth, 18th and 22nd; every
Tuesday the 2nd, 9th, 10th and
23rd, and so throughout the year.
The changes of the moon would be
on about the same dates through
the yer, and many calculations,
like interest, dates of maturing
notes, Easter Sunday and many
other important dates would be
simplifed. Although the present
generation would have to figure new

CHURCHES DISAGREE.

The case of Henry Michels, treas
urer of the Catholic church at
Uniontown, VS.. J. Fret, rector, Geo
Bauer, Ernest Becker, M. Thee,
Michael Reisenauer, Jos Semler Jr,
and Carl Seng, suit to recover judg-
ment on promissory note for $1,000,
given May2 1898, payable in eight
months, and conditioned upon the
beginning Of work on the erection
of a Catholic church at Uniontown
prior to June 1, 1898, was discon-
tinued on Monday, it isreported by
order of the new Catholic Bishop,
Rt. Rev. E. J. O'Dea. The suit
was begun in July 1894, the com
plant alleging the giving of. the
note by defendants, and that con
ditions imposed had all been full
filled and that defendants had each
and all refused to pay any portion
of the note Defendants replied to
complaint, stating that conditions
relative to note were not as stated,
but that early in 1898, the Cathol-
les Of Cotton desiring to have par
ish formed there and Rev. J. Fret
appointed rector, had petitioned the
then bishop, recently deceased, and
received his consent to the fOrma
ton of a parish, and promise from
him that Rev. J. Fret should be and
remain its rector. provided the
trustees of the Cotton church should
give the Uniontown church d note
for $1,000, payable in nine months.
A note was drawn up and signed
and sent to the bishop, who OBJ
jected to its form, suggesting GER
tain alterations. A second note
was then made, which was first ac-
cepted, but afterwards objected to
by the bishop, and finally the note
sued upon was made. Defendants
further allege that the bishop now
deceased, despite his promise, re-
moved j Fret from the rectorship
of the Cotton church in 1894, and
has sine r fused to consent to his
officiating as said rector.
During Bishop O'Dea's recent
visit here his attention was called
to the matter, with the result it is
understood that he has instructed
plaintiff to Withdraw the case. The
matter will probably be tried before
an ecclesiastical court.-Gazette.
