A NARROW ESCAPE
How Pedro and the Shark Played Hide
and Seek With One Another.

How Pedro and the Shark Played Hide
and Seek With One Another.
The yellow fever was raging in the
city of Vera Cruz that year. and one
of the large West Indian liners which
arrived on a certain day was obliged
20 anchor off in the harbor. A small
boat, known as a dinghy. fioated astern
and in this an active young colored
boy of about fifteen was busily at
work washing Off the seats. The boat
lurched over with a sudden dip as the
boy bore his weight on one of the
thwarts, and Pedro heard a warning
shout from the steamers deck just in
time to give one terrified glance
around, and to hear a noise he knew
only too we'll
Without an instant's hesitation he
jumped overheard from the opposite
side of the boat. For as he looked he
caught sight of the jaws of a great
shark which spying this tempting NOR
lsel of a plump little darky boy, had
leaped toward the careened boat with
open mouth. So vigorous was the
lsharks leap that as Pedro went over
on one side Of the boat the shark
Topped In on the other. Not being
fused to these surroundings. and MISS
ling his prey. he floundered around un-
I'll his head bore down the gunwale and
he slid from the careening boat into
the sea again before the people on the
steamer could fling a harpoon at him
Almost as he disappeared poor Pedro's
head popped up on the opposite side OF
the boat. and in a terrible fright he
lclambered into the dinghy again, as
/ thoroughly scared a young darky as
ever had a narrow escape.
| Had he not thus saved himself from
the man-eater, help from the steam
Ter would have been necessary, and
even then it more than probable thai
the boy would not have been saved
/ This is a remarkable instance of the
ferocity of a shark seeking his prey ou
of the water.-H. A. Johnson in Angus

CATCHING SOFT CLANS
An Interesting Occupation on the
Shore at Low Tide.

Shore at Low Tide.
From Nature and Science in August St.
Nicholas.
AS we walk along the shore at low
tide, on the lookout for seaweeds or
interesting animals, little jets Of sea-
water will be seen squirting up from
holes in the sand. Let us dig rapidly
down under one of these tiny openings
land we will catch the spurter, the
common soft clam; but if we are not
quick enough he will burrow so rap
idly as to disappear entirely and only
send a last spout of water into our
faces. as if in defiance. Place the
shell in a glass of sea-water. and
when the clam gains confidence he will
extend from his shell the long tube
like siphon, and the two openings in
the end of it, with their fringed bor-
ders. will be seen.
Now take a compound microscope OF
Ia magnifying glass and watch the
water above the siphon. You will see
that it is moving. With the minute
life forms it contains, the water
lsweeps in swirling currents toward one
orifice of the tube and plunges sud-
denly down it; then, after passing ovel
the gills and body of the clam and Civ.
ing out nourishment the water is ex-
lpeled through the other tube, and W.
see it rising slowly from the opening
| If, however. the clam takes a fancy I,
contract his shell and so hasten thi
motion, we will see a little fountain
shoot up and sprinkle the surround
ings. just as they were observed to d,
