waters of the tropical Pacific they
flourish to enormous size, and in the
harbors swarm around the Pacific Mail

over the steamers rail and watch these
blood thirsty tigers of the sea glide
through the still waters. fighting like
demons for scraps of ships refuse

the harbor, landlocked and placid, OF
Acapulco, on the west Mexican coast,
they are as thick almost as salmon

commanded were returning to the
steamer one afternoon, both trifie
under the influence of stimulants. In
some manner they capsized the small
boat in which they were rowing, and,
before my eyes and those of the crew
and passengers on the deck, were
sucked down in a whirlpool by the
sharks, the straw hat of the engineer
alone floating beside tho upturned
boat to tell the tale of their untimely
end. 1t was a horrifying, pulse stop

CURIOUS WHEAT PROBLEM.
Scarcity of Food Is Not by Any Means
Remote.

Remote.
II Sir William Crookes is to be be-
lieved, scarcity of food is not by any
means remote; it may come within
sight of persons now alive, and these
not very young, says the Spectator.
The case may be very easily stated At
present the deficiencies of the wheat
eating countries are supplied by North
America, especially by the United
States. In 1878 the wheat crop Of
the United States was about 1000, 900
bushels. OF this quantity 217,o00,O00
bushels were exported to Europe, where
no country, excepting Russia and Tur-
key, grows enough for its own popula-
ton. The states are able to do this
without trenching on the home supply,
because the total population is not
more than 75,Ooo.OO0. In 1881. if the
increase of population goes on at the
same rate as that of the last thirty
years the 75,O00,0 900 will have increased
to 13O,OOO,OOO and the surplus for ex-
port will be no longer available.
Whence, therefore, will the wants of
the world be supplied? Russia at pres
ent exports largely. the total being
something more than two-fifths of that
from the states. But it cannot be hoped
that Russia will come to the rescue Of
a hungry world. 1t is already hungry
itself, exporting food while its own
people are starving. Any change here
must be in the way of distribution.
This change will be more speedy be-
cause the Russian population. in spite
of It's sufferings, increases. Indeed.
the difficulty Of the general problem is
aggravated by the fact that, up to the
point of actual starvation, scarcity not
only does not check. but actually stim-
ulates, the rate of increase. A perfect
ly well-fed, v-ell-educated and gener-
ally comfort population has ten
dency to dim Ish rather than to grow.

In LuzOn. g..

A number of Americans at Manila
have formed company to make sys-
tematic search for millions of Spanish
treasure, said to have been buried in
southern Luzon over a century ago BY
Chinese mandarin, Chan Lee Suey.
For over 100 years the Fi1ipinos have
searched for these riches unsuccess-
fully.
Recently Filipino woman picked
up three Spanish coins, date 1853, near
the spot where the mandarin is sup
posed to have buried his gold.
A soldier bought the coins and as a
result of his investigationstth the present
search is to be made. =
When the British captured Manila in
1852 Chan Lee Suey endeavored to es-
cape from Calumpit with his jewels
and gold to Manila to secure British
protection. Before reaching Manila a
hostile Spanish force was .encoun-
tered. His boats were then turned into
the Rio Grande river and the man
darin's treasure was buried in swamp,

10 UCsIIO N BRIDE.
Fair Daughter Of Usage Chief = Be
Sold q Highest Bidder.



The aristocracy Of the Usage Indians
4: IN the Indian territory are looking for
ward to the marriagesof Mary Corn
dropper, the only daughter Of exChief
frank Corndropper, with great pleas
ure. According to the custom il vogue
among the Osages from time immemo-
rial she will be sold to the highest bid
der, the compensation being made In
ponies.
Chief Corndropper lives about IS
miles southwest Of independence, Kan,
and. owing to his former official capac-
ity, is one Of the best known Indian
braves in the territory. OF course, he
and his wife are full-bloods, and as
only full bloods can intermarry in this
tribe only that class Of Osages will be
allowed 70 bid on the girl. Mary Is an
exceptionally good liking squaw; she
is % years old, but has not much edu-
cation. She has been twice before sold
I in marriage, and because Of her beauty
brought "heaps Of ponies'' both times.
Her first husband was Tall Chief, who
paid 400 ponies. John Logan, . prom
inent member Of the Usage council, was
the. second husband, and he paid 800
ponies. Both marriages proved unhap-
py, and separation followed. This is
why she is to be put upon the block
sagain. s@ssss. III.
In accordance with an ironclad rule
among this tribe the parents of the
competing young mon will have to do
the bidding, and the bride, who will be
arrayed in blankets trimmed with
silks and beads of the gaudiest colors,
principally scarlet, will announce the
result by riding into the arms of the
successful bidder. The marriage cere-
;mony is then completed by the parents
Of the bride taking herinto the house,
where she will be stripped of all her
clothing, which will then be torn in
two and divided equally between the
parents of the bride and the groom,
who will retain them as long as the
couple live happily together.
After the marriage ceremony big
feast will be had in which many beeves
will be consumed and the festivities will
be conducted with dance lasting three
days. About 800 guests will be invited
to attend the wedding and dance. Miss
Mary, like the rest of her tribe, is quite
rich, and 1900 acres of land will go to
her husband as soon as they are we'd
ded. The couple will live with the
brides parents.
