The Shark Took Half.

John NJ. Williams, owner of the
yacht Senorita, had his captain row
him out to Flat Neck pond, near Green
witch, Conn, on "a recent afternoon,
where he started to fish for striped bass.
The little snappers which abound in
these waters bothered him by stealing
the bait. He was drawing in the line to
unlock a snapper when it began to run
out rapidly. He thought that bass
had swallowed the snapper, and after
playing it he reeled it in. AS he was
pulling the fish into the boat, q big
shark rose from the water, bit the bass
in halves and swan off with the tail
end.
The line broke, and Mr. Williams
was obliged to take the boathook to
save the piece of fish that was Oh the
hook. He then proceeded homeward,
not caring to encounter any more sharks.

pounds

THE BURNING BUSH.

the Bible.


This is the Bible story about the burn
ing bush
And the angel of the Lord appeared un
to him (Moses) I'm a flame of fire, out OF
the midst of bush, and he looked, and
behold, the bush burned with fire. and tn,
bush was not consumed.
"And Moses said, will now turn aside
and SEQ this great sight, why the bush Is

"And when the L prd saw that he turn

place whereon thou standest is holy

Now comes an English foreign officers
report with the account of newly discov.
cred stunted tree, called the chaparro, that
appears to fill the bill and reproduce the
miracle, minus the voice of God, how

In huge conflagration this strange tree

The London scientists who have looked
into the matter believe that the trunk of
the tree, and its branches in smaller de-
gree exude under the influence of great
heat "a moisture that is sufficient, owing
to its peculiar chemical properties, to pro-
tect the wood.
Commenting on the chaparros, the
English foreign office report says at is
very remarkable that these fire begotten
plantations are nowhere crowded to ex-
cess; on the contrary, the trees are SO
regularly placed that their aspect vies with
that of the most carefully formed gar

A specimen of chaparro bark is on ex-
hibition in the museum of the Pharma-

A comparison of the description of this |
tree with that given of the |

FLAX IN OREGON.
Fiber -Four Feet In Length Produced with
out Difficulty.


Experiments made by the Flax Fiber
association Of Oregon point TO an en-
couraging degree of success for those
enlisted in enterprises i'll that region for
flax growing and manufacturing in
America.
The average measurement of the
stalks produced, ready for pulling, is
stated TO be about 90 inches, thus Civ
ing fiber more than feet in length,
a fact regarded as peculiarly satisfac-
tory when it is considered that the well
known Courtral fiber is not more than
SO inches, while the fiber that is pecul-
lar to northern Ireland and so famed
does not attain that length.
The two remaining conditions for first
class tiber-viz, strength and fineness--
cannot be demonstrated until the time
for pulling arrives, but where Oregon
fiber has been produced heretofore its
strength is said to have proved very
satisfactory and the fineness nearly
equal TO the best. Estimates of the yield
OF straw per acre are set at 4 . tons,
which is stated TO be more than double
what is derived from the industry in
Minnesota or in Canada-exceeding
largely, in fact, the figures given for
any other part of the world
