BATTLE WITH AN OCTOPUS.
Hawaiian Sailor Victor In q Thrill
ing Contest,

LlT5M >--.E N9FWMM III
Hawaiian sailor victor In q Thrill
ing Content.
A daring fight between q mar and
an octopus occurred of Punaluu,
island Of Hawaii, Il few days ago, says
the Honolulu correspondent of the
New York Herald. Waha, a native
sailor on the steamer Mauna Loa, was
the victor of the fight. He displayed
an unusual amount of recklessness, for
lie attacked the creature without any
knife or implement.
The purser Of the vessel saw thegoc-
topus swimming near one Of the small
boats from the steamer and called at
tention to the peculiar looking fish.
Waha, who wore only a pair of trou-
sers, saw that the thing was an nor
nous squid or octopus. Without a word
he sprang overheard to attack the
creature. The sailor grabbed hold Of
two of the tentacles near the beak Of
the monster, and then ensued the most
remarkable battle probably ever wit
messed by any white man in that part
Of Hawaii.
The most vulnerable part of an octo-
pus is it's eyes, and it was ut these
spots that Waha made his onslaught.
He fought with his teeth and hands.
The instant that the octopus felt the
mans grip it dashed madly round and
then dived below the surface of the
water. Fortunately the water was
only up to Waha's shoulders, and the
man succeeded in getting q foothold
on the bottom and thus keeping his
head above the water. The arns of
the octopus were seen wrapped around
the body Of Waha, but the nan chung
on. He realized that he was engaged
in a life struggle. for If he relaxed his
hold the creature would drag him
under the water and drown him.
The octopus emitted a blackish fluid
that colored the water in the vicinity
Of the struggling pair, but the native
struggled OH. He kept biting savagely
at the eyes of the octopus. Once he
| got the right eye firmly gripped, but a
| sudden dive under water choked him
into letting go his hold.
The fight lasted fully fifteen minutes.
First one eye of the octopus was torn
| away by the sailor and finally the
other. With the loss Of the second
eye the octopus gave up the fight. The
creature measured fifteen feet across;
it's tentacles were as large as a mans
| wrist. Waha was badly bruised and
his arms and body flayed.

THE REFRIGERATOR SCALES.

would be allowed to 60 through the
United States mails on account Of its
near approach to questionable litera-
ture. Most of all the hard things that
have been directed at the deliverer of
the daily piece of ice have been
prompted by alleged short weight, and
the problem of the coming summer
will be how to insure getting your
moneys worth of the c~rystallized cake
Of water.
That there may be as little dispute
over this point as possible there has
been invented and patented an attach
ment for the refrigerator which weighs
the ice as it is laid in that receptacle.
When the iceman comes around and
dumps the ice into the refrigerator and
calls out, There's your ice!' all you
have to do is to look at the indicator
on the outside to find that he is two
pounds short. Confronting the villain
with this damaging evidence, there will
be no trouble in persuading him to
make up the Observation-Disclosures

9 THE HOUSEWIFE
An oriental Set.

Many u woman with more time than
money should be able to prepare q
dainty set Of Chinese table linen with
q little earnest work. To such a one
floral patterns would be easiest, and
the oriental style of manufacture might
be initiated by working tiger lilies,
chrysanthemums and carnations or
roses upon the same piece.
First, the edge should be embroider-
ed in small points Of uneven sizes and
then just a few flowers sprinkled
around the borders of the piece, taking
care not to make any two flowers or
leaves alike. Some limitations of Chi
nese work have only a flower in each
corner, or, in the case Of an oval piece,
one in each end and three on each side.
The introduction Of butterflies and
wreaths means Of course much more
labor, but even these can be given an
oriental cast by observing that artistic
principle of the decorative artist in the
east-not to place any two objects in
the same relative position.
When the home worker sets about
copying Japanese work, she may use
only n flower OF figure in the pattern,
and she has a task before her usually
too serious for western impotence to
contemplate.

Of the greatest of the kind ever ats
tempted and is perhaps without a par
allel in the world. In length the wall
will be between three and three and
one-half miles and seventeen feet in
height. 1t is built of crushed granite,
sand and cement, resting on a founda-
ton Of piles that were driven to a
depth of forty feet. The money to pay
for it came from a bond issue of ST.

with a Holland firm to perform this
task, for which S2.OO0,OOO of bonds

two. 1t involves the cutting of a canal

CONSERVATIVE DEMOCRATS OF
EAST in PANIC.
WILLING TO PAY FOR II
sYeIIow Peril" Credited With Having
Promised Large Sum as Cam.
paign Contribution.

Washington, March 24.-Eastern
democrats, and particularly the So
called conservatives of the party, are
on the verge of a panic over the prog
ress which is being made by William
r. Hearst, in capturing delegates in
the west. Reports from Kansas, Illi-
nois and Indiana are particularly dis
quieting.
It is said here that Hearst is rep
resented in the west as pledged to
contribute $1,5O0, 900 for a campaign
fund. by himself and friends, thus
making it unnecessary to ask the
trusts for a contribution and leaving
the way open to make a strong cam
paign on the antitrust issue.
They argue that the nomination OF
German, Parker, or any candidate of
the conservative stamp will necessi-
tate contributions by trusts, which
will drive the radical democrats to
vote for Roosevelt. This argument,
and ready money for forming Hearst
clubs, seems very effective throughout
the west.
1t is admitted now that ever in New
York state Hearst will have a little
bunch of delegates, and the most con
sentative are forced to admit that
Hearst will go into the convention
with more than a third of the dele
gates, which under the two-thirds rule
will enable him to veto any candidate
not agreeable to him. W..
Incidentally it is expected today
that Bryan will formally declare on
the side of Hearst. This will aug
ment his strength considerably. In
the face of this situation, is is serious
ly proposed by conservative members
Of the party to take steps at once tt
repeal the two-thirds majority rule
making it possible for a democratic
convention, like the republicans, tx
choose a nominee by a bare majority
This plan would be regarded as 8
desperate measure, but much discus
sion will be heard of it from now te
convention time.
