BATTLE BETWEEN FISHES.
Two Days Struggle in Whica 9
"Tiger" Shark Is Killed by
Smaller Enemy.

A remarkable instance OF large man
eating shark being attacked and killed
by a small fish has occurred in the local
aquarium, says a recent Honolulu re-
port
A shark measuring u feet in length
was caught and placed in the shark pen
at the aquarium. 1t was Of the variety
known as tiger" and was an ugly
dark gray color. Eight men were neces-
sary to get it from shallow water into
the pen, which is 20 feet square and
five feet deep.
When the shark was placed in the pen
O turtle and some small fish were in
che water Among the fish was one
about two feet in length, known as an
ulua. which has much sharper teeth
than the ordinary fish. but its jaws are
not especially large,
For a day after the shark was put
into the pen the ulua was kept busy
lodging it, but the second day a marked
change occurred, and visitors noticed
that the two fish were swimming IN
company. The ulua kept close under
the sharks belly. Round and round the
tank the pair swan, the shark trying to
ether fish. and the ulua trying to remain
close to its enemy.
After several days of this skirmish-=
ing instead of swimming rapidly
around, the shark would suddenly turn
and lash the water and take an entirely
different course. 1t was first thought
that the creature had become enraged
at being confined in such limited
space. but the cause was very different.
From being helpless, shrinking
coward the ulua had turned into des-.
perate assailant, and was savageIy at
lacking the shark, Apparently realiz-
ing that the tender portion of the shark
was the belly and about the gills, the
ulua confined its attacks to those parts
Of its enemy. The little assaiiant you'd
dart under the big body, seize hold of
the flesh near the giIIs. and bite out
small sections. Every time the sharp
teeth of the ulua would tear away the
sharks flesh the monster would writhe
and thrash about in frantic effort to
seize on it's assailant, but a stroke Of
the tail would send the tiny combatant
out of harms way.
Often as the big gray body would rush
nadly through the water the ulua would
snap at the tail or tear away the flesh
in other portions of the body The wa
ter was churned up SO that neither Of
the combatants could be seen. The
smaller fsh always fought close in upon
its opponent, where it was out of reach
of the enormous jaws and close to the
vital spots of the shark
Thise warfare lasted for two days and
two nights. Big holes We're made in the
sharks body. The flesh about the gills
was torn away, and great patches from
its belly. The entire lower part of the
shark was cut and lacerated by the
sharp teeth OF its savage little enemy
Repeatedly the shark 1eaped two-thirds
of its length out of the water IN a frantic
endeavor to escape from its pursuer.
The big fish finally gave up the con-
test and sought only to escape The
ulua was transferred to another part Of
the aquarium and the shark left IN
peace, but the attacks by the small fish
had so weakened the shark that it died

isle and to clear the land entirely by
1906 The effect this idea has had
upon the sugar industry has been little
less than disastrous. The laborer is
taken way and nothing offered in his
place. The cry was that the black man
working for less wages was standing
IN the place Of the Australian citizen.
If this is so the white worker will
have an opportunity to demonstrate
his ability to work in tropic fields.
One result of the ruling by the
masses is the great number of holidays
given There is scarcely date in the
calendar which is not made an excuse
for closing the shop and leaving the
work. At Easter, for instance, all BUSH
ness houses are closed for four days.
Easter coming in their finest summer
weather, is set for the great racing
season, and in no country does the
sporting fever run SO high as in the
new continent. Banks as well as cloth
ing and provision shops are closed for
the entire time. Good Friday. then
the opening Of the races on Saturday,
Easter Sunday and Easter Monday.
IL all the banks and wholesale
houses were to close for four successive
days in this country we would think
the world was coming to an end.
Labor is at the head and wages have
been good and work fairly steady, but
there is beginning to be a reaction.
Among the smaller manufacturers
there are many failures. The constant
demands of the union leaders. the ever
increasing number of holidays has
made it impossible to run a concern
with any profit, and there is a strong
influx Of immigration toward the
states. IN consequence Of this there
is much idleness among the common
wage earners.
The country at large is now support
ing many on the great ranches or sta.
tiens as they are called, for after seven
years of drought there is abundant
rainfall and work there is plenty.
With the domestics the problem is
practically the same as with US. The
