BATTLE WITH SHARKS.
A Desperate Encounter In Whic1
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.

A Desperate Encounter In Which
Two Man Eaters Were Slain.
Probably the most desperate fight
which has ever been witnessed between
couple of sharks ana a. human being
took place at Havana some time ago.
Several fruit peddlers had boarded
large nailboat, and among them was
a swarthy, barelegged young chap noted
among his comrades as clever swim
mer. The pursero Of the vessel was stand
ing by the ganGway, holding his child
in his arms, wa&hing couple of sharks
that were hanging about the ship. Ae-
cidentally the child fell out of it's ia
ther's grasp into the water The father
immediately jumped overheard and
seized his child, and in moment the
sharks were making for the pair.
Seeing the predicament, the bare leg
ged young huccaneer dropped his fruit
basket and went over the rail like a
fash.
As the first shark turned on~tts back
the invariable prelude to biting it's
victim-the young fruit seller rose to
the surface, and, with q long, keen
edged knife, fairly disemboweled it.
The other was not nearly so easily
disposed of. The shark seemed to real
ize that in the fruit seller he had a
dangerous foe and apparently spared
for an opening. Several men on board
the vessel blazed away at the monster
with revolvers, but the young fellow
begged the men to desist, being un-
nerved by the firing. Fish and man
dived alternately, and when the fish did
make for its foe the plucky boy dived
and plunged the knife in it's side.
The water was crimson with blood
when the three were hauled safe and
sound to the deck Of the vessel, and a
handsome sum of money was collected
for the victor. "

ENGLISH RED TAPE.

1t Took a Broken Leg to Get the
Chair Repaired.
It is stated that one morning recent
ly young fellow who had just secured
clerkship in government office was
considerably startled by little scene
that he witnessed. An elderly man, one
of the senior clerks in the room, sud
denly rose from his desk, dragged the
comfortable chair on which he had
been sitting into the middle of the
room. seized poker and attacking the
chair with great vigor succeeded in
breaking one Of it's legs. When if was
done, the official gave a sigh of relief
and flung the chair into corner Of the
room. The budding junior first thought
was that his senior had suddenly taken
leave of his senses. and he almost ex-
pected that his colleagues would put
him under restraint. But to his acton
ishment the other clerks hardly raised
their eyes while the work of destruction
was in progress. Before the Office work
was over the newcomer sought informa-
tion from one of his fellow clerks
"Can you tell me, said he, "why
Mr.. Dash carried on in that extraordi-
nary fashion, I mean, of course, when
he broke perfectly sound leg off the
chair in which he had been sitting"
"Oh, that was all rightl' replied the
other with meaning laugh. IA caster
had come off one Of the legs Of that
chair, and. you know, my lords will
not provide us with new eastern, they
will attend to nothing less than broken
leg. So Dash had to break one of the
legs to get his chair put right at the
public expense ''-London Standard.

Some Of the Heculiarities oR mi.
Mysterious Substance.


Mysterious Substance.
Asbestus Is physical paradox, yet
one OF natures most marvellous produc-
tions. It has been called mineralogical
vegetable; It is both fibrous and crys-
talline, elastic, yet brittle; a floating
stone, which can be readily carded,
spun and woven into tissue. In Ger
many it is known as steinfachs (stone
dax), and the miners Of Quebec give 1t
quite as expressive a name-pierre cotton
(cotton atone). The asbestus mines Of
Quebec are the most famous in the
world, yielding 85 per cent of the en-
tire output, Italy being the only COM
peting country. and there the industry
is declining. Although CharlemaRne Is
said to have had q tablecloth of asbestus,
which be cleaned by throwing into the
fire, # was practically unknown until
1850.
The fta1ian mineral was then expert
mented With and some years later put
on the market. In 1878 the first Cana
Dian mine was opened, and the product
steadily increased until 1890, when
o, ,OoV VUus, WOfGh $1, ,H6O, OU0, were
mined There has since been decline
in value. 4e amount for 1895 being
10, 200, wosth only $3.50, 600. Asbestus
is flexible, noncombustfble and non
conductor of heat and electricity, and
on these properties fts Increasing use
depends. It b spun into yarn, from
which cloth is woven 1or drop curtains
in theasers, clothing >for n1emen, acid
workers, etc. It is made into lamp
wicks and gloves for stuAezs and ropes
for fire escapes It is feated into mill
boasd to be used as an fnsulator In dy-
namos and as fueproof nnfng for
floors. 1t is used to insu3ate electric
wires AND as covering to prevent loss
of heat from steam pipes. Mixed with
rubber IT is used to pack steam Joints.
