STORIES OF SEA CURIosIT1Es
Grinning Serpent, Winter Oyster and
Man Eating Lobster.
Philadelphia Inquirer


While returning to his home few
evenings ago, William Blackman saw
a long, dark object being tossed by
the restless waves beating on the
beach at Ventnor. At last one big
comber left it stranded high on the
sands.
Blackman approached. Before him
lay a sea serpent fifteen feet long and
with a head twelve inches from ear
to ear. It's mouth was the same size,
and it grinned hideously at Blackman.
It seemed dead, but the next morning
it could not be found
After this happening, Richard Bur-
bage, Of Pleasantville, went oyster
hunting in Lakes bay. After a mighty
struggle he landed a bivalve, he says,
which measures two feet in length,
fourteen inches across the back,
twelve inches in depth and the meat
in it weighed twenty-four pounds. All
Pleasantville can bear witness that no
oyster ever caught was it's equal.
Then John Winder proved the rule
of three and made the cycle complete.
Winder is mate of the yacht Pitts
burg, and he pulled a lobster up on
Goldfish lire while fishing twenty
miles off shore. It weighed, Winder
says, forty-five pounds.
ct was either a. man-eater or the
original LOBSTER says Winder.
All Atlantic City is aghast at these
happenings.

North Dakota a "COmer."

The northwest as a field for invest
ment and a place Of residence and en-
deavor is rapidly attracting attention
turnout all parts Of the country and
the time is not far off until the once
reviled North Dakota will be reckoned
among the garden spots Of the earth.
A steady progress toward continual
prosperity, following upon some OF the
lean years which did so much to put
the northwest in the doubtful column,
has done much to give North Dakota
the status it should have and to give
it's prairies and products charm
which is continually attracting the in
vestors and building the state into one
of the most prosperous communities
in the country.
The state gained in population be-
tween 1890 and 1900, 136,427, or
747-1O per cent and it Is generally
believed that it has gained In the
past three years more than 100000 in
population.
The last census awards it the honor
Of being the wealthiest state, in the
Union and the largest income per cap
tia according to population.
The assessed valuation of real and
personal property for the year 1903
was $146,537, 444, which would bring
the actual wealth Of our state at the
present time over $45O,OOO,0OO,
and yet there are no very rich men in
our state. These figures do not take
into consideration but small portion
of the vast Ignite coal deposits In the

sofa and North Dakota, the thought
full, observing investor is beginning to
turn his eyes toward the hundreds Of
smaller tracts which, already sur
rounded by prosperous farms, have
an established value.
Time was when nothing less than
section-large tracts would appeal to
the young western farmer and as re-

many of them in the eastern part Of

This year the heavy demand for
lumber and the consequent rise IN tne

AS for Minnesota, it's improved lands

attraction for the Ohio, Indiana, Iowa
or Illinois farmer who has plenty OF
money, and who wants to come west,
but not too far west, and who is willing
to pay good price for cultivated lands

new soil. ,
This gradual migration and. the
great increase in the dairying industry
and the consequent increase in the
value of southern Minnesota lands,
COUPLED with the vacating Of lands
whose owners want to go still farther
west have caused a greater activity
in the Minnesota land market than
has been known for some time.
All thru the northwest the Russian
Japanese war, with the great demands
for food for the contending armies, mas
