CAUGHT A BABY SHARK.

A baby shark of the man-eating species.
commonly called the baskiDg shark. but
known best to fishermen as the Manila
shark, was caught near Angel island, San
Francisco bay, last Thursday by Capt.
Maggie. The fishermen had quito a
struggle to capture the ferocious young
ster. The young shark Is seven feet in
length from the head to the extreme
point of tae tnil and weighs fifty pounds.
The tail is about three and half feet
long. Sharks of this species grow to i'm
mense size, weighing from 600 to 1000
pounds each.
The statement Is made by the fishermen
that this is the first of the man-eating
sharks ever caught in tho bay OF san
Francisco. although they are common
enough in southern waters off the coast
of Mexico and Central America. 1t is sur
missed that this young follow lost the
school tn which he belonged, and in seeks
ing for warmer waters entered the bay
He is we'll equipped with three rows of
teeth. The fishermen estimate that he
was able To strike 300-pound blow with
his tail , n

THE FARMERS LUCK.

According TO the governments figures.
the cereal crops are no greater this year
than they have been for some years back.
The deficiency in other wheat growing
countries is what is making wheat take
such u glorious fly.
1t is said to be fact OF record that the
four largest crops Of corn ever raised in the
United States actually yielded $500. 900, 600
less than the four smallest crops.
The same has been more or less true of
potatoes, for instance, and Of wheat.
Wheat Is up. So are potatoes. So is
corn. The crops are bountiful and in good
condition. The foreigners are short. And
thus very happy balance is struck be-
tween the respective amounts of supply
and demand so that the American
farmers are going to reap mighty fine
profit this year

BREEZY BLOCK ISLAND.
The Season at Its Height-Arrivals
at the Summer Hotels.

The weather at this delightful resort during
the last week has been perfect. The showers
Monday morning were of great advantage in
laying the dust, so tho roads were in OK
celent condition for driving. The hotels are
all full.
Last Thursday the large steamer New
Brunswick brought down about coo people
from Hartford. The excursion gotten up
by the wethersfield Grange and was accom-
panied by the Newin ston Military Band. The
guests remained over night, returning at noon
Friday. They found great difficulty in get
ting accommodations, as the hotels were al
ready crowded.
The steamers this summer are doing n
thriving business and many Of the people who
are brought down by these boats, especially
by the New York boats, are here for the re-
mainder of the season, while large crowds of
transients come down daily on tho Mount
Hope.
There have been more yachts in Block
Island harbor this year than ever before in
the history of the island. The steam yacht
sultana owned by John Jacob Astor, and the
steam yacht Seneca have been anchored here
during the past week. while the Nourmahal,
also belonging to Mr.. Astor, has been here
recently.
An effort Is being made to make Block
Island winter resort as we'll ms n summer re-
sort. Ii il generally acknowledged that the
climate here is, on average, ID degrees
milder than on the mainland, owing TO the
close proximity OF the gulf stream.
The steamer Block Island brought the lar
gest excursion Of the season last Thursday
from Munson, Conn.
A bicycle entertainment was hold in the
skating rink here last Tuesday evening. The
chief feature of the program was fancy and
trick riding on safety and high bicycles by
Professor Ike Johnson, the popular instructor
Of Newport's elite society.

aged s26. bas oil her life been absolutely
free from pain and has no idea what it Is

is also free from the poisonous effects says
the Chicago Times Herald, that follow
the bite of certain reptiles and insects.
Not only that but she can swallow the
deadliest poison known to science. while
oil stimulan t. narcotics and anaesthetlcs
and sedatives havo no effect upon her.
When she was years old. while living
with her parents on the Island OF lrlnl-
dad in the West Indiea, cobra threw lt-
self upon her and bit her terribly. Her
parents laid her out to die. but she went
TO sleep for thirty hours and awoke as
fresh as n rose. Now cobra can bite her
n dozen times day ana the best he can
do will be Co make her little sleepy and
kill himself
She stood up in n doctors Office here

POLE AND NEEDLE.

According to Professor Patterson OF
the coast survey the reason why the needle
points In northerly direction Is because
the earth In itself Is n magnet attracting
the magnetic needle ms the ordinary mag
nets do. the earth being also n magnet ~
the result of cortoin ccsmical facts. much
Affected ny the action of tho sun. These
laws nave rerodicities, all of which have
not as yet been determined. \ condensed
explanation accepted In regard 10 tho
needle pointing 10 the northward and
sOuthw ard is that tho magnetic poles OF tho
earth do not coincide with tho geographic
cal poleS-thnt is, the axis Of rotation
makes an angle of about % degrees with
n line joining the former anu hence the
needle does not everywhere point Co the
astronomical north. and is constantly
variable within certain limits Thus. at
ths northern magnetic pole, balance
needle points with Its north end down
ward In a plumb limo. while at san Fran.
cisco 10 dips about 63 degrees, and at tho
southern magnetic pole the south end
points directly down. The action Of the
earth upon u magnetic needle at IT'S sur
face Is uf about the same force as that Of
hard steel magnet 80 inches long and
strongly mnRnetizrd az n distance OF ono
foot. No ultimate reason can be given q
the fact la nature that the needle points

FACT AND FANCY.

Japan is about to place contract in this
country for the rails and material required
for the 100 miles Of railroad which it is about
to construct in Formosa, with the object OF
opening up TO trade the phenomenal ana as
yet totally undevelopcd resources OF that
formerly Chinese island. japan itself has al
ready $500 miles Of railroad in operation, and
is rapidly extending the system. The import
ance of the Mikados empire TO the United
States as market for American goods Is
demonstrated by the fact that the returns just
issued at Toxic show that the imports in 1896
exceeded those of the previous year by no less
than s21. 100000 The imports are larger than
the exports by s3o,0OO,O00. japan has now
mercantile marine of 100000 tons in steamers

ANARCHISTS BARRED.

According to the statements current in
official circles ct Madrid. Spain originally
intended TO depurt 10 this country the
anarchists who, in spite of their being
innocent Of any actual crime, have been
condemned to exile from the lana of their
birth, and who are now in London It
is said that the United S1Hes govern
ment, however intimated tnat under o
circumstances would they be permitted To
land on the ground that they were "un-
desirable immigrants, in which the
Washington authorities merely followed
the example of Germany, France, Russia
and Italy. all OF which countries declined
to be made the dumping ground of indi-
vidusls whose character was such that
their own people declined to keep them at
home or regard them any longer as fellow
citizens. England, however, has no legal
means OF preventing the entrance within
its borders of any one who is not actually
n criminal. and consequently could neither
oppose the landing of the anarchists nor
will be able TO molest them in ory Tf- Ls
long as they do not render tn emscIves
guilty of infraction Of tho laws OF the
land. Tho action of tho London chief cf

BROOKS NO RESTRAINT.

men throughout the country. Counselled

believed that such action on his part was
either anticipated or desired by the college
authorities. The active newspaper dis
cussion and tho protesting communication
from the numerical majority of the fac

and delicate situation. President AN
drews is not the man TO hook anything
like tho drawing OF u rein upon his free

questioned. The conviction that the

AN OLD COUNTERFEIT.
Part Of an Issu. Which Caused
Heavy Losses Years Ago.

Washington. ID. g., Aug. IA Louis
vile (Ky.) business firm presented to the
treasury department yesterday for re-
dsmption two counterfeit $1,000 7-30 notes
of the issue Of June 10. 1868. These coun-
terfeits were part OF n very large issus OF
counterfeit notes which appeared in tho
principal bend markets between 1865 and
1857. The imitation WAS so good THAI
many OF the principal dealers In United
States securities purchased them freely,
and only discovered that they had been
yiotimizod when the notes were thrown
out by the authorities at Washington.
The loss To bankers and dealers through
this count1rfeit amounted probably TO
several hundred thousand dollars.

That literary journal. The Critic, takes
new and novel view OF the Andrews
matter and oontr butes new touch-and go
to the controversy.
1t regards the attitude of tho trustees as
expressed; 1.-The change hoped for by them
Is not renunciation OF these viows, as
honestly entertained by him, but for
bearanoe, out of regard for the interests of
the university, TO promulgate them,
especially when to promulgate them will
appeal most strongly to the passions and
prejudice of the pubio"--as an unhappy
position for the trustees to take. Equally
Is the Every clever protest against this
narrow view on the part of the corpora
tion" unfortunate though fair answer
to the position taken by the committee of
the corporation.
In word, The Critic holds that man
of DIR. Andrews views should not be at
the head OF an American university. His
wrong is not In tho expression of his
views but lies in the fact that he holds
them. Ana IL considers both the CORPORA
ton at fault because it deems that Presi-
dent Andrews was weloome to accept as
honest what every member of the govern
ing board of the university holds TO be alb
solutely dishonest, If only he would ro-
frain from making such views public"
From this poiut of opinion, had it been

Thus no question of freedom OF speech
should ever have been involved.

A Newspaper, Not a Party Organ.
DEPRECIATION AND APPRECIA-
TON.

The story of the appreciation OF gold, of
how gold OF currency that stands for gold,
is constantly able TO purchase more and
moro per dollar, is become very familiar
ss a complaint.
Except to the man possessed OF gold, or
its representative, its rise in value COM
pared to other products Is lamented. III
prices of agricultural and sther products
fall, that is the same thing as gold going
up. That the price OF agricultural prod
ucts has fallen steadily for some years
back, and that tho money lenders Of the
East thus had persistently increasing
advantage over the producers Of the West
was a staple argument for the Bryan dol
lar and silver at l6 to 1.
And instances are not uncommon to
still further illustrate the appreciation
of gold. For O citizen to give mortgage
for, say $4,000 on his property which he
buys for $4,000 and then to note the value
of the property fall step py step, say to the
amount Of the mortgage-the balance in
value being clearly wiped out is surely
discouraging.
Other illustrations of the same disas-
trous widening between values of property
or product and what is called money. are
familiar. too. 1t Is therefore particular
comfort to read the report Of n shift that
has taken place in the other direction
where money" has lost in value and prod
uct has appreciated in proportion.
Two years ago the Rock Island Railroad
furnished 80, 700 bushels Of wheat for
seed, the crop having failed. The wheat
was furnished at exact cost 30 cents
a bushel and the farmers gave their notes
to the railroad corporation, payable in
one year at per cent interest.
The wheat crop OF the following year
proved to be small, too, so the railroad did
not press for its money This year. how
ever, the Oklahoma farmers have enor-
nous crops and besides, the price of wheat
IS high. Their debt to the railroad Is
about sf5 600 and it trapspires that the dis
posal of 20, 600 bushels of wheat will pay
off this debt at present prices.
In other words. the farmers of Oklahoma
borrowed 80 600 of bushels OF wheat and
will pay back only 20, 600 bushels and be
clear OF the indebtedness
Which seems TO be an altogether salts
factory and comfortable circumstance for
,he farmers.
