An Exciting Battle Beween Whale,
Shark and swordfish.


Shark and swordfsh.
Passengers of the White Star liner
yesterday from Liverpool, witnessed
an exciting battle between a whale.
several swordfsh and thrasher
shark. The fight lasted more than
an hour
The combatants were first sighted
about IL o'clock in the morning. A
great disturbance was noticed in the
water dead ahead about a mile from
the ship. Just what the trouble was
was not ascertained until the ship
was within half mile of the scene
of the encounter. Then the passen-
gers saw a big whale beset by half
dozen large swordfish, and a monster
fhrasher shark, the fiercest and most
voracious of his kind The water was
being dashed into foam, which was
tinged with, blood. 1t was evident
that the fight had not been in prog
ress long, as the combatants seemed
to be active.
The whale was flashing the water
with his tail and was standing off his
antagonists, although he was greatly
outnumbered. Several of the sword
fish would attract his attention In
front while others would steal around
to attack him broadside. The thrash
er's great tail was busy falling the
whales back at every opportunity.
The passengers were spellbound by
the sight, and their sympathy was
with the whale. As the battle con-
tinued the water for several hundred
yards about was dyed deep red. The
whale was terribly gashed in many
places by the swordfish, which moved
with incredible speed, and 1t was only
occasionally that the whale was able
to strike with effect. Each time
swordfish was hit it seemed to take
no further interest in the battle.
Before the shin was out of sight the
thrasher was disabled, blow OF the
whales tail striking him full on the
head. One of the passengers who had
strong pair of glasses said he saw
the whale swim away and that the
swordfish did not follow hfm.-New

To ExtInauish an Electric Arc.

The blowing of fuse recently on
one of the trains OF the New York
subway gave rise to considerable
smoke, and for a time alarmed the
passengers on the train. The alarm
was further increased by the electri-
cal display which occurred when one
OF the station men attempted to ex-
tinguish the fire by throwing water
over it. The car was not damaged,
and at no time were the passengers
in danger, as they probably realize
now. 1t is Just as well, however, IL
the many employees of the company
were fully instructed in the proper
methods to pursue to extinguish an
electric arc. A bucket of sand is OF

Henry G. Deming, of Harrisburg,
Penn, who was President of the
Worlds Congress of Stenographers.
held in 1884, read a paper at the an
nual convention of stenographers of
the State of New York in the County
Court House He divided stenograph-
ers into six classes.
The sixth class, he said, was com
posed OF all persons who could write
shorthand at speed of not more than
seventy-five words a minute and are
deficient in general knowledge and
grammar
The fifth or E class comprises per-
sons able to write 10 words a min
ute, and who have fairly good edu-
cation
The fourth or D class Is made up
Of those with a shorthand skfff- of 125
words minute, persons well educat-
ed and a real help to, an active bust
ness man.
In the third or C. class he placed
those who can write a speed OF $50
words a minute with accuracy, but
who are hardly eligible for active
court work or miscellaneous conven-
ton reporting.
The second or B class includes
stenographers who can at their maxi
mum speed report 200 words a minute
accurately; can make creditable re-
port on almost any subject, TRANSCRIPT
ing their notes with reasonable
promptness and with knowledge and
discretion.
The first. or A class of stenograph-
ers, he said, were the few who are
marvels of skill and. accuracy, COM
bined with such a general knowledge
OF men and affairs that they are at
home on all subjects, possessing the
highest order OF talent and erudition;
able to correct, instantly palpable err
rors, scientific or otherwise; devoted
to their calling, excelling in every
branch, and submitting flrst-class
transcript reports on whatever SUBJ
ject assigned to them.
Plenty of sixth-class stenographers
could be had at Sc week. Mr.. Dem
ming said; fifth-class, 50 week;
fourth-class, from SO to SIS, with now
and then an exception of from $40 to
$25.
The others earn from 81 500 to &c.,
900 year in fees AMI salaries. The
convention considered q bill for PEN

How Sea Eagles Catch Ducks.

How Sea Eagles Catch Ducks.
In summer the principal food of the
white tailed sea eagle is salmon, va
ried by sea birds common along the
inlets OF Greenland In autumn, when
the salmon have ascended to the
lakes, the birds resort to the sea.
They appear to have a special fond
ness for elder duck, which are taken
by strategy. Stationed rear the wa
ter in commanding position, with a
background of cliff, the color of which
assimilates with that of the eagles
plumage. he sits motionless until a
flock of ducks settles near him. Aft
er a time one or two dive in search
Of food, but not until all have gone
under together does the eagle make
sign. He then glides swiftly to tho
SPOT and circles over it close to the
water; with his sharp eyes he can de-
tect the birds before they reach the
surface At first he is not usually
successful, for as soon as they be-
come aware of the presence of the
enemy they dive again instantly; but
in time they are obliged to come up
for air, and then one Of them be-
comes an easy victim. A full grown
elder drake is easily lifted up and
