HUNTING OCEAN VAMPIRES.
Monster Sometimes Reverses the
Role and Becomes Hunter.
From the New York sun.

From the New York Sun.
With the possible exception Of the
basl1ing shark the sea devil" or
ocean vampire" is largest Of all the
monsters Of the deep. An unborn ocean
vampire taken from the mother, pre-
served al the British Museum, is 5 feet
broad and before mounting weighed
twenty pounds. The mother measured
fifteen feet in length and quite as much
in breadth.
II is al all times a dangerous under
taking TO attempt to capture one Cf
these monsters. says the Sunday Mag
azine, but particularly so IN the case
Of mother accompanied by her or :
spring. She is capable Of reversing the
role of hunter and hunted. attacking
and capsizing the boat containing her
Would-be captors and OF seeing that
none Of them escapes alive.
Imagine. writes Hon. William Ell
liot, in desert bing the exciting SPORT he
had IN hunting ocean vampires. "a
monster from l6 to 20 feet across the
back, eull three feet in depth, possess
ed Of powerful yet flexible flaps or
wings with which he drives himself
furiously in the water or vaults high
into the air. through which he skins

this animal. The pectoral. or breast,
fms, much elongated. pointed. arched
in front, concaVe behind, stop short
at the head, TO reappear as frontal ap-
pendages projected on each side of ths
head These appendages take the form
and character Of limbs. being flexible
and capable OF grasping prey and car
rying it 10 the mouth. The "feelers,
as they are called. are sometimes three
feet or more in length and are curious
ly articulated at the ends, 30 as =
resemble the fingers of the human hand
when clenched.
In this way fishing boats and vessels
Of q much larger size have been drag
ged from their moorings and in some
cases capsized by the ocean vampire
having laid hold Of the anchor An
instance of this kind occurred in the
harbor of Charleston. A schooner ly-
ing at anchor suddenly and seeming
ly of its own Volition, to the amaze
nent OF those on board, started al a
furious rate across the harbor. Upon
nearing the opposite shore its course
changed so abruptly as almost to cap
size the vessel. and ii recrossed the
harbor to its former moorings.
These mysterious flights across the
harbor We're repeated a number OF
times in the presence Of hundreds of
astonished spectators, who were utter
~ al a loss 10 account lot the pnS-
nomenon. The migration ceased as
suddenly as they began. Not till then
did the back and undulating flukes of
an immense ocean vampire, disclose
the motive power that caused it all.
One of the curious habits of the fish
Is to throw somersaults, sometimes
at a considerable distance beneath the
surface, sometimes at the surface and
sometimes in the air above the sur
face. The reason for this peculiar prac-
tice. which is kept up for hours. has,
so far as the writer knows, never been
conjectured At times the great fish
will throw himself bodily perhaps as
much as ten or twelve feet into the
air.
A young student of Columbia Uni
versity, writing from Port Of Spain
describes the flight of one Of these enor-
nous sea monsters. which passed COM
pletely over him and the light boat he
was rowing.

The Grizzly of Old Days.

In the old days, before the deadly
magazine rifle was invented, hunting
the grizzly was a very different af-
fair. and no animal on the American
continent was more dreaded, bis fierce
ness and vital force when wounded
filing the most reckless of hunters
with a wholesome dread. 1t was not
at all unusual for a grizzly with bull
let through his heart to pursue and
tear to pieces the hunter, whose long
single -barreled muzzle-loading rife,
with it's one round lead bullet, was al
together inadequate for such contest.
1t is a strange thing, too. that while
the grizzly bear is an omniverous feed
er, living on anything from roots and
nuts to steer and buffalo meat, he has
never been known to devour human

A GUIDE WHO Is BLIND.
Remarkable Accomplishment of the Old
Eell-Ringer's Sightless Son.

Remarkable Accomplishment of the Old
Bell-Ringer's Sightless Son.
In his article on the French fishing
village of Honfleur, in Harper's Maya
zine, Thomas A. Janvier tells of his
visit to the old church Of st. Gather
ines, where he was guided up the
rickety ladders of the bell-tower by a
blind boy, the son of the bell-rnger:
The bell-ringer answered my knock
and led me up short stairway to a
square room in the heart Of the build
ing" he says. HE was man of
sixty, or thereabouts; but he gave the
impression of being as old as his bell
tower, so heavy were his movements
and so slow. / wanted to see the tim.
ber-work Of the tower, and asked
evidently he was of too numbering a
make to 80 with me-if I might climb
it alone. 1T will be more commodious
for Monsieur to be guided he an.
swered. My Jean here will have
much pleasure in attending him. And
to this he added, quite simply and
naturally: Monsieur will observe that
my poor Jean is blind. But that need
occasion Monsieur no uneasiness.
Since the time when he was little
boy be has climbed the tower con-
stantly. He goes up the ladders like
a cat and he knows every turn of the
way
What the bell-ringer told was the
literal truth. Without a syn Of hesi.
tation, the blind man led me at first UP
spiral stairway; and then up steep
steps which turned and twisted
through the teamwork; and ther up
ladders which still more sharply twist
ed in and out among the bells. HerA
and there, at risky shiftings, old hand
holds were placed-the wood black and
polished with the grip of countless
long-dead hands. The blind man
climbed more easily than ] did; and
when we We're come ut last to little
chamber above the bells he opened,
with a sure touch, four shuttered loop
holes and bade me look out from them.
The views were very beautiful and
very interesting, he said; and added
that they were as clear before them as
though he could see them still. This
was not an exaggeration. AS l looked
in turn from each loophole he told me
the names of the buildings which I
saw from it-and only went wrong on
the side toward the railway station,
where new quarter has grown up in
recent times. Over that way, he said
apologetically, Monsieur must excuse
MIN if he made mistakes-so many new
buildings had been erected since he
went blind. There was so much pathos
In it all that l was glad when / had
satisfied him by completing my round
Of the loopholes and he closed them
and led me down again by the twist
ing ladders among the bells"
