OCTOPUS AS A FIGHTER.
Battle Between Two & Grewsome Sight, ostend Oyster Beds Ruined by Them


 A plague of the octopus is reported at Ostend, and the age-famous oyster beds of that resort are in serious dan ger. This visitation is unusual, for the octopus is usually found in the gulf of Mexico, along the coast of southern California. or in Alaskan waters. Some of those in the gulf measure as much as tWenty-one feet across the body, their arms stretching out Infinitely 1t eaems, to their prey.

AN ANTARCTIC OASIS.
Queer Discovery Made During .n.
 Recent Expedition.


 Recent antarctic discoveries by the beiglan expedition, are described in the Century for January by Mr Fred erick A. Cook of Brooklyn, whose arti- cle is very fully illustrated. "An oasis in snowy wilderness" is the phrasa ne employs in characterizing a certain pit of the antarctic land. Being still unwilling to advance into the unknown fegien before us while enshrouded in mist, We drew near prominent morn- laln peak to make a deharhment. The rllff was a perpendicular cliff. free of snow to the seashore. It was one of a Aumber extending far into the south east, as we learned on the fcllowina lay We made debarkment at it's oase. Here was life in profusion AS indeed there was on every rock where life could gain a footing. The noise 5rom the birds, which re-echoed from cliff to cliff, was deafening The lower rocks were lined with snoring and grunting sea-leopards. Columns of vapor rose above the water followed by hiss like that of a steam engine and seeonG later the blue back of whale, with it's long fin and ponderous tail, lashed the water into a foamy whirlpool. The great wall of land-ice rose to each side of the black cliff. which gave us shelf as a landing place. From this wall came frequent sounds like the explosion of a cannon, which were followed by a splash and a commotion in the water. With such reports parts of the wall would een- stantly break away and fall into mil- lon pieces, streWing the water with small fragments of ice. but not with lcebergs. Above us rose cliff to an altitude Of about 2,O00 feet; out from this were projecting mantel-Ifke rocks. which served as resting places for the eormorants and sea-gulls. Here the young ones, dressed in gray down, coaxed their mothers for food. We ex- neeted to see the little things dro1 from their narrow resting places, to be de- stroyed on our heads or on the rocks below, but such an accident rarely hap pened. Our greatest surprise here was the discovery of large quantities of moss and liehens, which gave the spot an unexpected appearance of yegeta- ble life and color After seeing noth- ing but ice and black rocks for so many days. this sight of green and brown and red amid en endless expanse of icy desert was great relief.

 BOTTLE OF POISON


Spy to Cheat His Enemies.
 There is a pretty general impression that the work undertaken by the spy is invariably disgraceful work, and that the professional military secret service agent is a more or less degrad- ed creature-degraded, that is for the time being, by the very nature of the mission he undertakes Of course, nothing could be further from the truth. There are spies and spies. The paid renegade, who for mere pay, tun. dertakes to pry into and betray the secrets of his friends, stands upon an entirely different footing from the offi- ger who, taking his life in his hands. ventures into the enemy's camp in or- der to gratuitously to obtain informa- ton which may turn out to be of infin- ite palue to his own intelligence de- partment. Lord Kitchener was spy of this latter sort, and it was his cley- erness, energy and resourcefulness in this capacity which first attracted to him the notice of his superiors. Alone and unarmed he plunged into the re. volted Soudan in the autumn of 1882 and succeeded in penetrating, disguised hs a peddler of hurra cakes, as far as Omdurman itself Here he saw fei- low spy stripped naked, logged till the flesh hung in ribbons from his body. and then crucified face downward iE che blazing sun. Ever afterward, i7 his wanderings among the wild desers tribes, Kitchener carried with hffn 2 tiny phial of cyanide of potassium. As ne tersely put it: T did not fear death but such deathi"

HUNTING FOR PEARLS.
Two stars in This PerIlous Line i,
 Work.

Work
 Two farous pearl divers recently visited San Francisco to buy a large quantity of air pumps, diving suits and like paraphernalia of the sea. Opu and Taipu are their names, and they are generally regarded as stars in their perilous line of work. They were born on one of the islands of the Dan. gerous archipelago group. They speak good English, however, and both ara thoroughly familiar with the civiliza- ton of West Australia, where they have spent most of their lives as pearl hunters, says the New York Telegraph. iaipu is the principal native pearl merchant of the many hundreds who nave embarked in the trade since the natives of the Paumotu islands first dabbled in that form of commerce. He owns pearling dredger and a ship; both are engaged in the trade in south western waters. His ship, however, 1s mere hulk that travels less than ninety miles along the coast. They depend principally upon pearl shells Aoi AhSoiuC, oiASO lO oldh6 SdIulllSS OG the pearls alone would be to invite loss. Valuable pearls are not frequent >nough to make 1t pay, but the com :. ercial lhotber-of-pearl is made from he shells that they deal in. When 1t comes to hunting for the real pearl there is lot any kind of scoop or dredger than can take the place of mems eyes; diving and treading the deep is the only way to find valuable pearls. As a rule, these are some dis tance apart, scattered over the rocky bed of the ocean, Sometimes a man will pick up a fortuna Ill few weeks aEd sometimes he will hardly make expenses in season. Pearling is still profitable, for the crude shells are sold at from $500 to $750 ton, and there ss always a chance that a diver may make enough in eae day to quit for life. "We do not dive farther than sixty to 100 feet,' said opu, for the pressure is too great Even at these depths men cannot remain down over five or ten minutes, and the average life Of the deep diver is short"

MRS. MORRIS'S REASON
SEEKS DIVORCE FROM HUSBAND SO
SHE MAY DISPOSE OF HER FARM.
Has to Sell the Land to Pay Her Debts
Henderson Habeas Corpus
Proceedings.

Nancy ]. Morris yesterday filed petit
ton in the Circuit Court 10 advance her
suit for divorce from her husband, Milton
T. Morris. asking that Saturday be set for
the hearing. Judge Allen granted the petit
ton and the hurry-up suit will be tried
on the day requested.
The speedy trial was asked in order to
meet an emergency. Mrs Morris set out
in her petition that her husband had been
cruel to her and failed to provide. She as
serts she is the exclusive owner OF an
eighty-acre tract of land worth $4,000 and
that the deed Is in her own name. She says
three mortgages are held against her prop
erty, aggregating $1,000, and that Mary
Clary and e. Z. Stoner, holders or the
mortgages, are pressing for their payment,
and she fears foreclosure proceedings Will
be brought. In this event she says her
property Will be lost. as she has not the
money TO meet the obligations.
There is but one chance to save any OF
her property, she says, and this is by sale.
She asserts $4,000 has been offered her for
the farm, and at this price $1,000 would be
left TO her after the mortgages had been
paid off, but her husband refuses TO ac-
knowledge the deed unless he is paid 500
for his signature. She AYERS the present
offer will be withdrawn unless a sale is
contaminated very soon, and asks that the
divorce suit be tried at an early date so
the conveyance may be made without pay
ing her husband the $500.
