Brydone, an English traveller who
visited Malta when the Knights held
sway there, wrote in his diary, after
wards published as very popular
book Of travels:
Upon the top of the cliff, wherever
an enemy might land, the engineers
have sunk holes in the living rock
gigantic mortars, as it were In some
cases the diameter is as much as six
feet, and the smallest holds barrel
of gunpowder. Upon this charge lays
a wooden covering, exactly fitting, on
which are placed stones, cannon balls
and fragments of metal, the whole
rammed tight. The biggest of these
natural mortars will discharge forty
tons of these mixed projectiles, COW
ering space Of two or three hundred
yards and killing everybody within
range when it explodes."
These curious guns were never
tested. The enemies of the Knights
of Malta always declined to come
within range of them.

Nine distinct armorial bearings are
now eXtant among as many different
families, of which one is borne by the
Earl of Camden and one by the fam
lily of Cabra Castle, Ireland. One
motto alludes to the etymology of
the name "Rident Florentia Prata''-
the howery meadows smile In
Spain the family bear for arms a
green meadow lowered.
Gules should be the heraldic color
of one branch of the family that de-
scended from Phineas Pratt, the non
conformist, who, with some four hun
dred others, was imprisoned for their
religion. Phineas managed to com
muricate with his family by writing
to them with the b1ood drawn from
his arm for that purpose. Apropos of
this there is a story that the red
stripes on the arms of the Keith fam
lily were originally drawn with blood
on the battlefield on silver shield.

Nickels and Quarters.

If you doubt that the nickel and
quarter business doesn't pay, consider
the money-making propensities of the
average seashore bathhouse around
New York, and make over your opin-
ion.
A representative bathing pavilion
has 1900 bath compartments. 1t
costs twenty cents to rent one On
a medium hot summers day some
eight hundred dollars are derived
from renting these rooms, for the COM
partments are used in the course of
the day by about four thousand per-
sons.
Bathing suits rent for twenty-five
cents each. There would be eight
thousand of them for such pavilion,
which means one thousand dollars a
day if half of them are rented once;
and it is fair to assume that three
fourths of the four thousand bathers
pay five cents for the use of a comb
and brush-one hundred and fifty dol
lars. A total of nearly two thousand
dollars, to say nothing of the pro-
ceeds from restaurant, bar, barber
shop and indoor baths.

ly did more than break the skin of the
boys body, but they bit big piece
out of the thick plank on which he
was lying as easily as if it were a tur-
nip. The shark then darted away and
the boy swan to shore bleeding
slightly from the wound in his side,
but not seriously injured.
Northern people, after a brief ac-
qualntance with the shark seen near
the popular American beaches, are
prone to echo the cry that sharks
don't bite people. 1t is true that the
nosthern shark is not even remotely
la man-eater, and when he does now
and then attack human being it is
usually more by accident than BY de-
sign.
The common shark of northern
latitudes is the sand shark, slow,
lazy coward. He rarely reaches terri
tying size, ranging usually between
three and four feet in length. Very
occasionally monster that really
measures ten or twelve feet is caught
Most of the twelve-footers turn out
to be not longer than five feet or so
when measured by the unina ginative
and prosaic tape measure
The sand shark is so cowardly that
a mere slap of the hand against the
gunwale of boat or against the wa
ter will send him houndering in pal
pable terror to seek less frightening
regions. When hooked and hauled
aboard, he turns out to be ali ugly
enough customer, for his jaws are am
pie and set with the conventional
triple row of cross-cut saw teeth; and
the ferocity of the shark tribe comes
to the surface when he is cornered,
for he will bite at all corners, and
even squirm and slide with disquieting
velocity to fasten his teeth in his cap
tors leg or foot
Tropical sharks rarely cross the
Gulf Stream and approach northern
beaches. Occasionally tiger shark
or blue shark appears. Now and
then fox shark or swingle tail, so
known from his enormous tail, which
is almost as long as his body, swins
into view. But all these are rare.
Besides sharks no other northern
saltwater fish ever deliberately attacks
man, except the most terrible man

The Pearl Fisheries Of
Cey1on

Since Keats told how ''the Ceylon
diver held his breath and went, all
naked, to the hungry shark" many
poets have exhausted the resources
OF their imagination in trying to de-
scribe the wonderful pearl fisheries of
Ceylon. A few facts about them
may be of interest, if only as an anti
dote to so much poetry.
The pearl fisheries are the property
of the Government of Ceylon. The
divers are paid no wages, but receive
one-third of the oysters they bring I'D.
the remaining two-thirds being taken
by a Government agent and sold at
public auction to speculative buyers,
who gather from all parts of the
Orient: The pearl fishery usually
lasts from thirty to forty days, but
does not take place every year. If
it did, the oyster banks would soon
be ruined. Sometimes several wears
are allowed to pass by without a
fishery.
The diving is done after primitive
fashion, and the stories told about the
marvellous length of time the divers
will remain under water are quite un-
founded. The record is I minute 40
seconds.
The most successful fishery was that
of 1891, when no fewer than 444oo.-
900 oysters were brought up to the
surface in forty-three days. Over
345,ooo,ooo oysters have been fshed
IN the past seventeen years.
The auction, which lasts for several
days, is one of the most interesting
sights to be seen in Asia. The oysters
are sold in lots of one thousand, and.
OF course, the purchaser is buying "a
pig in poke" There may be no
pearls in any of his oysters; or the
first one he opens may give him a
fortune. This risk appeals to the
gambling spirit of the Orient. and
pretty nearly all the races from the
Persian Gulf to Japan are represented
at the sale
The prices paid usually start low
on the first day. Then, if the BUYERS
have found pearls in fair quantities.
bidding is keen and the prices Jump
skyward. One year they varied from
is. 4d. per 1000 on the first day to
9T2 US. Tod. on the second.
1t is remarkable that the fisheries
are still SO profitable, for there are
historical records that they were
worked there three hundred years be-
fore the birth of Christ and it is i'm
possible to say how many years be-
fore that date.

hunter of all saltwater fish, the giant
mackerel known as the sword-fsh.
The sword-fish is as swift as the
shark is slow, and while it usually at
tacks only after being injured, it will
often charge headlong at vessel that
has not offended it at ALL So far as
the sword fishermen are concerned.
honors are easy. New London, Block
Island and Martha's Vineyard, the
headquarters of the sword-fshing
fleet, all boast cripples whose mutila-
tons were caused by the sudden leap
of the avenging marine sword from
the sea and its thrust clean through
tlmbers into the boats and the bodies
OF men. There are scores of graves
that hold men who were spitted by
sword-fsh. And the ocean caves hold
more scores. There is not single
vessel in all the sword-fishing fleet
that has not had at least one hole
driven through bottom or sides by
that leaping sword; and one vessel has
a record of more than dozen holes
made in one cruise when she fell in
with sword-fsh of a tempestuous
mood
The stingaree is a chance visitor
to the north, like ,tfle chance tropic
sharks. He is more plentiful, how
ever, and has his record of killings
and mutilations made by the keen
barbed ivory thorn that sits spur-like
at the end of his coachwhip of tail.
Inland there are man-hunters, too.
The great alligator gar of the Missis-
slpp1 and contiguous waters, often
reaching lengths of five and six feet,
hideous survival of a past epoch, is
wicked enough to make many locali-
ties unsafe for bathers, and the natives
warn strangers not to swim in places
known to be hunted by big gar.
His. cleaning sides are scaled with
material hard as coat of mail. His
lean, crocodilian jaws, beset with ii
frieze of needle-like teeth, are proof
against the fshhook. He defies spear
and tackle, and mostly succumbs only
to the shotgun or the club. He is as
swift as he is savage, and sulky and
ferocious as he is queer There is no
doubt about his being a man-hunter
in certain places and at certain times
whenever he is so dispoged."

England's Immigration
Problem

One of the burning questions of the
day in England is alien immigration.
There is strong and growing agita-
ton in favor of restricting it some
what on the lines adopted in this
country, and the Government has
pledged itself to legislate against ur-
desirable immigrants, either in the
present session of Parliament or the
next
Nevertheless, England's imnnigra-
ton problem is mere bagatelle com
pared with Americas. Only one per-
son in 10 in the United Kingdom is
an alien not naturalized as a Brit
lsh subject. In London, where the
foreigners congregate most thickly,
the proportion is one III forty and i'll
some of the London slums one in
twelve.
New York has daily newspapers
printed in German, French, italian,
Spanish and Yiddish; and other
publications in at least a score
of different tongues, including Ara
bic, Chinese and Japanese. London
has only one foreign newspaper,
which is printed in German and is
ouSd WSCNiy. lilS ldCl dlOIle SHOWS
how much smaller are the foreign
colonies there than in New York.
England has benefited ensely
in the past from immigration, and
many of her greatest men to-day are
descended from immigrants.
The British lace-making industry
was created by Huguenot refugees
from France. A poor Scandinavian
boy named Bessemer did more for
Britain's iron and steel industries
than any other man.
Lord Cromer and Lord Miner.
two of England's greatest colonial ad-
ministrators, are the sons of immi-
grants, the father of the former be-
ing Dane, and of the latter a Ger
man. Lord Goshen is the son of
German, and so was Lord Herschell,
the late Lord Chancellor. Beacons-
field was descended from family Of
Italian Jews.
