Captain Gardener of the Liverpool steamer
Latona, who Is at present stay ing at his home
at Penarth, says that early on the morning of
May & last. while $50 miles north of DE.
merara. his vessel, which was going at ten
knots an hour, suddenly stopped. An exani-
nation of the screw propeller revealed the
fact that very big fish had been caught in
the aperture in which the propeller worked.
The creature stuck out mt each side for II feet,
and must have been at least % feet in length.
An attempt was made 10 cut the creature in
two with sharpened spade affixed to the end
of spar, but owing to the rolling of the yes
sci this also failed. AT length the captain
ordered the engineer To set the propeller
going slowly to and fro. This he did, and at
each movement OF the screw noise like the
rending of stout canvas was heard The great
fish was in effect being literally sliced up, a
great piece being taken Off as each blade came
round After this had been going for
some moments the engines were put on full
steam, and for moment all round tho stern
bits Of flesh were flying i'm the air, At last
the scew became free and the last remnant
Of the great fish fell into the sea.

The statistics of the loss Of human life and
cattle by wild animals and venomous snakes
in the central province of India have been is
sued. Although the totals show some de-
crease from those of last year, the number of
deaths is appalling. Snakes killed 1873 per-
sons last year and wild animals POI. The
number Of cattls slaughtered was s757 The
man-eating propensities of the tiger seem TO
be on the increase, although 323 of toem were
killed during the twelve months. Each man
eating tiger seems to be able to dispose of
considerable number Of human beings in the
course Of year. 1t is reported that the kill
ing of one man eating tigress brought down
the number of persons killed in the district
from twenty-five to three. Wolves also have
become so destructive that a special reward
has been offered for their skins.
