Captain Had Perilous Fight with q
Strange Inhabitant of the Sea.
Capt. F.. Dominick of a fishing
smack had fierce fight with an Ameri-
can whip sting ray, or devil fish, near
the Charleston Lightship, the other at
ternoon. So far as the local fishermen
are able to say, this is the first fish of
it's kind ever seen around the waters
of Charleston, and being unknown to
Dominick, he was naturally in bad
fighting shape before the sea monster
was finally killed. The ray had a
wirelike tail five feet long, and when
this went slashing through the air and
descended with mighty force on the
back of the captain was ;. more
alarmed than he cared to be, and it
was any mans game until the tail was
finally cut with knife. Capt. Domin-
ick said he was fishing in quiet waters
and his lines were hanging loosely
from his boat. Suddenly there was
vicious pull at the line and the whip
stinger, weighing 1875. pounds, came to
the surface. The fish fought to get
away, and some. of his teeth were
broken in the scramble. The tail be-
gan whipping the air as soon as 1t
came from the water, and Capt. Dom
mick had to throw his hands to his
face to keep from having it LAGER
ated. Fortunately, big knife was
lying open in the boat, and with one
cut the tail was severed. This some
what subdued the fish, and in short
time Capt. Dominick had it under con-
troll. The captain says he had never
seen a living specimen OF the whip
sting ray before. and he was not pre-
pared for the onslaught from the mon

1t may be said, with regard TO our

Of volcanoes that stretch from Kam1
chatka through Japan and the Mala-
yam archipelago in the form OF the

number Of them are situated on the
western side Of the Philippines and
other islands that are most severely
affected by earthquakes. The shores
of Manila Bay, the northwest side OF
Luzon and the southwest part OF the
island suffer more frequently than
other parts of Luzon, the largest island
in the archipelago. The most terrible
earthquake in the history of the Is,
lands was that Of 1868, when nearly
all the public buildings and European
houses built Of stone in the city Of Ma
Mia were leveled to the ground. The
shock of 1880 is believed to have BEEN
equally severe, but its effects were tar
less disastrous because the lesson
taught by the calamity Of 1868 had
been utilized and the buildings in the
rebuilt city had been constructed on
plan better adapted for resisting the
effects of these violent oscillations
The shock of 1880 originated In the
central part of Luzon, little east OF

there are three zones where earth

earthquakes. for they do no damage
whatever, and they are SO frequent in
earthquake countries that the general
public pays little or no attention to
them. Some time before the last in
surrection against Spanish rule began
Mr.. M. Saderra of Manila collected all
the historical notices of earthquakes
in the Philippines that could be found
in the archives of the capital. They
extended over a period of nearly three
centuries, from 1899 to 1865, during
which time nearly 1000 earthquake
shocks were recorded. It is quite Ger
tain that in the list he collected only
a small part of the earth movements,
that might properly be called earth
quakes, were included. The reason for
thinking SO is that after the establish
ment Of the Manila observatory in 1865
when more careful observations began
to be made, 457 earthquakes were re-
corded In the thirteen years, 1866-79.
This did not include any seismograph
records, for these instruments were
not introduced till long after the ter
rible earthquake of 1880 had convinced
the director of the observatory that it
was highly desirable to improve the
facilities for earthquake observation.
Between 1889 and 1895, the seismo-
graphs made many thousands of rec
ords of earth movements, including
minor earthquakes. and there were
forty-one shocks of considerable in
tensity which disturbed quite large
areas. Maps were made showing the
distribution of these disturbances and

A POWER FOR GOOD.

There is no human organization. in
the world with the power to do good
that is possessed by the American
Federation of Labor-a power to do
good generally, and especially to those
who are most in need of 1.-THE toiling
masses, on whose shoulders rests the
burden of producing all that makes life
desirable, aye tolerable, aye possible
for those whose lives are lives of lux
ury and ease. But the supreme good
that the American Federation of Labor
can do, and does do, lies in ameliorat-
ing the hardships and Frightening the
lives of those who work. There is
scarcely a humble household in this
broad land that does not enjoy more
of the comforts Of life, few as they may
be, than it would We're it not for the
beneficial influence of this great dis
penser of good to suffering humanity
the American Federation of Labor.
Many are the benedictions called down
upon it's head by the untold thousands
to whom it has lent helping hand,
and many are the anathemas shoWered
upon it by the grasping, greedy, would
be-absorbers of all the earth and all
the good things therein, whose grip has
been at least loosened, and who have
been compelled to relax their grasp on
the throat of their fellow man.
The workingman or woman who
would place a stumbling block in the
way of this great beneficence deserves
to be a slave, and is unworthy to share
in the benefits conferred by it on the
deserving and undeserving. Like the
refreshing shower it pours it's blessings
alike on the just and unjust. 1t helps
the non-union man as well as the un-
ion man, for any shortening of hours
or Increase of wages is shared in by
the former the same as by the latter.
1t would seem that a sense of gratitude
II nothing else, would impel every man
who works for a living to give this
great institution his hearty support.

THE LABOR MOVEMENT.

One will get some idea of the pro-
gress that has been made by unionism
in labor matters when it is known that
proba bly, the first labor paper publish
ed in the United States was started in
Philadelphia in 1864. 1t was published
by Jonathan Fincher, and was called
Fincher's Trade Review. 1t was the
first paper to advocate reforms in the
labor system, such as the reduction Of
the hours of labor, the increase Of
wages and he condemnation of prison
contract labor, particularly where it
came in competition with the work of
law abiding people. When one thinks
of this one lone sheet, compared with
being printed throughout the land, he
may well conclude that something is
being done to emeliorate the condition
of the workers. 1t is true the progress
has been comparatively slow, but great
reforms are always slow. No SYSTEM
however pernicious. that has prevailed
for centuries, can be- revolutionized at
once. 1t requires time, for great re-
forms, like great bodies, move slowly
When we reflect on what has been
done and what is being done in the
way Of labor reforms, there is cause
for congratulation, and we believe the
time is not far distant when the labor
system of our country will be revolu-
tionized and the producer will enjoy
a fair share of what he produces, and
the consumer, who only consumes, will
be restricted to that portion of the pro-
duct Of labor to which he is justly en-
titled.

who are frequently transported for
very trivial offenses, says The Carpen-

the chimney sweeping trade there was
injured by a flask of vitriol thrown at
him. The culprit was believed to be
one Of his own men, but as the police
could not find the criminal, the author
tiles adopted the simple expedient Of
sending all the chimney sweepers in
his employment to Siberia. It may be
mentioned that wOrkingmen, as a rule
are very strictly watched by the au-
thOrities.

that for every fifty workingmen there
