THE EARTH STAR.
Queer Member of the Plant Kingdom
That Travels from One
Place to Another.

Earth-stars are members of the
plant kingdom, writes Nina l.. Mar
shall, in st. Nicholas, and are closely
related to the puff-balls with which
all country boys and girls and all fire.
quenters of the woods are familiar;
they ripen their spores or puff-bail
seed in round brown balls as the pun
balls do, but are unique in their Won
derful manner of scattering their
spores. For this purpose the plant
develops tough outer coat to the
ball, which ON a damp day, when the
spores are ripe, swells up, splits, and
rolls back from the summit to the
base to form Il star about the ball.
The round ball at the center of the
star then opens at its summit and
waits quietly for fair weather favor
able for travelling. The first day aft
er these preparations the earth
star breaks it's connections with the
part of the plant which is in the
ground, and which up to this time
has fed and nourished it and held il
firmly in the ground, curls up the
rays of the star over the puff-ball
and let's the wind roll it over the
fields and wherever it will, while il
puffs out the spores and scatters
| them far and wide. Some observers
have stated that when the dews OF
evening fall the plant unrolls tht
star-points until they again lie Hat on
the ground and firmly anchor the bal
where it may rest until another fan
day comes round in which, in com
pany with the wind, il may resume
its travels. The earth-stars are no
common, but still one on the aler
may expect to find them on dam
wood roads, and will be well reward
ed if he takes one home to watch tn
rays of the star curl and uncurl whe1
subjected alternately to dry an

THINGS A SHARK WILL EAT.
Florida Fishermen Tell Tall Tales
About what They Have
Seen.

The capture of a shark at Punta
Rasa, Fla, the other day set the peo-
pie at the hotel to talking about the
things found in the stomachs of
sharks, says the New York Sun.
This is the story of the shark that
got away. Kitchell thought that it
was at least 20 feet in length and he
spoke of it as blue man-eater,
which created smile in view of the
fact that he was guessing in the dark.
1t caused also general discussion on
the piazza.
All hands agreed in the first place
that not single instance was known
along the Florida coast where a man
had been eaten, or even bitten by u
shark. Hands had been snapped at
when dabbled in the water from a
boat, but the shark were voted to be
too cowardly to attack a whole man
wading or swimming.
Munson told of big shark caught
at Cocoanut Grove after slight
struggle. 1t had swallowed the bait
so completely that the hook touched
vital spot and it came in practical
ly dead. 1t was nine feet long and
had supped upon live raccoon,
which it had probably snapped from
the animal was out after coon
oysters. The racoon was a big one
and seemed to have been dead only
u few hours.
Van Horne supplemented this story
| by telling about shark which he
cut open at Punta Rosa and which
| contained 80 young sharks, all alive
and able to swim away when put in
| the water. This was case of man
catching 33 sharks on one bait.
George Schultz told of the sharks
which gathered at Key West when
| the transports and soldiers were
| there. He said that many of the fish
were caught and often their stom-
achs contained little besides empty
beef cans which had been thrown
from the ships. In one case paii
in the stomach of big shark, but no
body suspected that he had swal
lowed man.
Huddlestone added his quota b,
telling of 12-foot shark which wa:
netted off Sanibel island last year
He saw it cut open and can bring
able-bodied witnesses to make aih
davit that the stomach of the crea
ture contained three full-grown peli
cans, seven king crabs, or horsesho'
crabs, undigested, and more than tw'
bushels of mnllets in various stages
of decomposition.
John Weber, of Toledo, said tina
he had seen shark take in all bu
the head of a 150-pound tarpon
which was being reeled in at Boo
Grande. The body of the big tarpo
was cut through as if by a knife an
il convinced the narrator that Boo
Grande shark could bite leg off
man with ease.
After all the other stories wer
told Schultz modestly remarked tina
D only few years ago he saw shar
D opened at Punta Rasa and it's ston
ach contained the most indigestibl
D parts of Florida steer. He foun
the horns attached to the skull an
y the hoofs all separated in the fisl
As Florida steer is only few time
o larger than Kansas jack rabbit thi
story seems quite plausible.

IMPORTED POTATOES.
Thousands of Barrels brought Daily
from Europe to the United
States.

The potato crops hae been good for
the last few years, and dealers as well
as consumers have been satisfied Win
the prices. The daily receipts in New
York city within few days averaged
about 10000 barrels, and this inquire
was pointed to by large dealer wheh
he was asked whether potatoes were
imported from Europe in large qlanti
ties. 1t was explained that in years
when crops were poor, Scotland Ire
land and Germany had been drawn
upon for potatoes, but this year ana
last year there was no necessity LOT
going across the water, and no pota-
toes were imported"
The custom house records DO not
agree with the potato dealers state
ment. They show that 155,s6l bushels
of potatoes were imported in the year
ending June 80, 1900. This included
72,7sO bushels from Bermuda. The I'M

which are popular with the Chinese III
which potatoes are largely used, and
the proper flavor cannot be produced,
the Chinaman thinks. unless potatoes
from his native land are used. The
6Gs bushels from the Chinese empire
and ITO sent from Hong-Kong were
probably used in making that par
ticular dish.
In the six months ending December
81, 1900, there were imported from Ger.
many 27,795 bushels of potatoes, val.
ued at $11,S ,S97. The import duty is %
cents bushel. The German potatoes
sent to the United States are of a
small variety, and reach this port usil-
ally in September and October. They
are used exclusively in the prepara
tion of potato salad. The potato is
oily and moist, and may be sliced even
ly. The American potatoes become
dry when boiled apdare likely to break
when sliced, thus making the salad
'mushy" and uneven. Only sma,
part of the importation finds its way
into private kitchens. The potatoes
are bought by the dealers in German
delicatessen, who make the salad and
sell it to the consumers.
The custom house. statistics show.
also, that in the year ending June 30
1900, pickles and sauces to the value OF
$306,223 were imported. of which the
United Kingdom sent $21s,20G worth
the Chinese empire, $50, 100 worth, and
Japan, $i4,36s worth. Vegetables in
their natural state, exclusive of pc.
tatoes, valued at $2S,s79, were import
