HOW A SHARK GAME AscARo.
British Tramp wiIderspooI Gomez In

British Tramp WiIderspool Comes In
from Java with Fish Story.
When the British tramp steamer
WnderspoOl. from Java, sugar laden.
arrived here yesterday. Capt Japp had
a rish story to tell Last Sunday night
was dark, very dark. In latitude 1856
~, longitude 1885 w. the wind was
coming In gale out OF the northeast.
The seas ran high. and seemed 20 be
getting higher and higher as Capt.
Japp stood on the bridge and watched
his craft plunge through them heavily.
The decks were frequently awash.
When Capt. Japp was peering out into
the exceeding darkness and keeping
himself all ears for any sound that
boded i'll, he heard now and again as
the forward deck was swept by the
waves, a Tapping and smashing which
he thought indicated that some sail
had broken loose and was beating
about the deck. He ordered the crew
forward to take care of IL, and when
they had gone there their exclama
| lions, which reached his ears through
the darkness, brought him down TO tind
out just what had happened.
Flopping about on the deck he saw
an eleven-foot shark which the seas
had cast there as the steamer plunged
and pitched and rolled among them
The tishs great jaws opened ant
closed as it was thrown by It's owl
struggles and the vessels motion from
point to point of the deck, and thu
crew, watching attentively these forci
bile reminders that life " short, exc
cuted some admirable quicksteps oil
the briny boards One of them stoot
as IL charmed or dazed, unable, appar
emily, to move muscle.
why don't you take hold OF II?
Capt. Japp shouted at this one. "Yo'
look as II you were afraid"
The sailorman reused himself. an
pulling himself together, made an ei
fort to grab the shark, but he wa
thrown to the deck The enormou
jaws snapped again and again, and tn
men fell back loath to help them to
mouthful. Eight of the crew fnall
set about siege, and made at tn
shark in earnest. After a severe ba
tie the shark was beaten and captured
and on the following day 1t was CT
up.-New York Sun.

FIVE REMARKABLE TREES.
Which Rank Among the Curiosities Of
Plant Life.


Plant Life.
The whistling tree, or Acacia fistula,
is found i'll Nubia aud the Sudan.
The Arabs call it sotfar, or piper, be-
cause Of the whistling sound that it pro-
duces, and the specific name of fistula,
word also meaning pipe or.fute, has
been given it for the same reason.
Insects infest the tree and deposit
their eggs in its shoots. A gall-like ex-
crescence about an inch and half i'll
diameter is produced at the base of the
shoots, and when the larvae have
emerged from circular holes III the sides
of the shoots the holes, played upon by
the wind, produce u whistling sound
equal to that produced by sweet toned
flute
The COW tree is SO called because
it yields an abundant supply Of milk. To
obtain the milk deep incisions are made
in the tree, from which the fluid flows
into vessels placed ready to receive it.
This vegetable milk is white, somewhat
viscid and has an agreeable flavor, and
an analysis of it shows that it is very
much like the milk of COW in its COM
position. The COW tree grows ON the
slope of the mountain chain bordering
on Venezuela.
The cloth tree is found at Otaheite, in
the south sea. The bark is taken off in
long strips and put to soak overnight
in running water. The soaking softens
it. so that the inner fiber may be easily
separated from the rest of the bark.
The fibers are put together i'll lengths OF
about / / or IL yards, and the lengths
are placed side by side until they are al
least IL inches in width, and two OF
three layers of fibers are put one upon
another.
The fibers adhere together in one
piece, and the mats rial thus formed il
beaten upon smooth piece Of wood unit

When Blind People See.

Blind peoples first experiences of
sight are curious. An old man who was
born blind received his sight by the
removal of cataract. When the band
age was first removed the patient start
ed violently, and cried out as if with
fear, and for awhile was quite nervous
from the effects of the shock. For the
first time in his life he looked upon
the earth. The first thing he noticed
was flock of spamows. In relating his
experience he said that he thought they
were teacups, although a few moments
afterward he readily distinguished a
watch which was shown to him. It
is supposed that this recognition is
owing to the fact that he heard ticking.
The blaze from a lamp excited the most
lively surprise in his mind. He had
no idea what it was, and when it was
brought near, wanted to pick it up
