AMID A SEA OF SHARKS.

Progress of Vessel Delayed by
 Myriads of the Monsters.
 When a ship is brought to a stand still for twenty-four hours by a school of sharks that extends in all directions to the horizon and when the vessel sails for the next twenty days amid nothing but sharks it is said by old salts that it promises to be a good season for fishing.
 This is the story brought to Phila- delphia by the captain of the Ameri- can ship Babcock, from San Francisco, with a cargo of scrap iron. In fact, the captain hints at a tragedy, for, ac- cording to his story, the myriad of sharks left him in pursuit of another vessel.
 The Babcock sailed from San Fran cisco Nov. 24. When in latitude 525 north, longitude 20 west, on Dec. 10, the crew became worried at the scores of sharks which began following the vessel. During the night the crew heard an awful splashing about the ship and with the morning light came the revelation that the ocean as far as the eye could see was covered with sharks.
 The breeze fell off and what remain ed was not sufficient to send the vessel through the mass of fish. A strong wind came after the vessel had been stranded amid the sharks for twenty four hours and slow headway was pos sible. The captain denies that the sharks tried to reach the deck by climb ing upon the backs of one another.
 For twenty days the sailors could see nothing but sharks. They were hundreds of miles from any land and were getting thoroughly frightened, when along comes another vessel. The sharks saw that the newcomer had the most men aboard and all went off in her trail so that when New Years day dawned the crew of the Babcock again saw a clear ocean.-Philadelph h. quirer.

paderewsIsi's Musical Bellsoy,

Rosamond Johnson, of Cole and Johnson, composers of that once popu- lar song, "Under the Bamboo Tree" once held position as bellboy in Young's Hotel in Boston. This place he once nearly lost through taking the lib- erty of playing Paderewskis "Minuet" for the great pianist. Paderewski, who was staying at that hotel, had rung for a bellboy, and young Johnson answered the call.
 Being so fond of music, he made bold to ask the great composer and pianist to play the "Minuet" for him. Pad erewski could not understand English then, and the boy thought from his ges- ticulations that he wished him to play 1t. So he sat down at the piano and commenced playing. Paderewski's manager happened to enter the room just then, and, enraged at the bellboy's presumption, threw him out of the room and went directly to the management and had him discharged.
 As soon as he learned what had been done, Paderewski, who. had been pleased with the lads playing, sent for the manager of the hotel and had John- son reinstated in his position.-Suc- cess Magazine.

I'll prove it." cried the biologist, and
he led the way to his huge aquarium.
In this aquarium was some red and
some yellow and some green fish, and in
1t were artificial grottoes painted respect
lively red and yellow and green. The biol
ogist rolled the water with his hand, and
the fish fed, the red ones TO the red
grotto and the green ones to the green
grotto.
'"They know which color shields them
from observation best" said the biologist.
Now, Ill change the grottoes so as to
prove my statement a second time
He moved the grottoes to different
places in the aquarium. and again rolled
the water.
The same thing followed as before

ARTISTIC WORK OF
JOSEPHINE GLOETZNER

ing pianist She studied at the Washing
ton Art League for eight or ten years
and established a studio of her own. Three
years ago she went abroad, worked under
Tanek and Brandenberg in Berlin and
Munich and achieved much Obstruction.
There have been few Washington wom-
en- who do what is termed Strong work"
Miss Matilde Muedon is one of those. and
now Josephine Goetzner has risen to
front rank
Miss Gloetzner herself has a most in
teresting personality. SO young pretty,
quiet and reserved there is not hint in
voice, appearance or manner of the tragic
intensity and tremendous power that Is
builded in her work. Her deep sincerity
of purpose, her long apprenticeship as
student and worker in obscure ways and
above all certain high sense of courage
and steady industry have brought her to
achievement.
One of the most striking pictures in
Miss Gloetzner's studio Is her Portrait
of Young Girl The pose is easy,
graceful and unique while the color
scheme a rich red is superbly treated. A
certain pathos and strength marks the
face, a haunting sense in the deep eyes.
The figure, very slight, very slender with
that sad, wise face, so strangely treated
Is not easily forgotten.
Another portrait, the study of an older
woman, one that was exhibited in Berlin
is also interesting. The woman is far
from beautiful. Her face is salow, worn,
yellow In color, but so strongly treated,
with again that suggestion of infinite
sadness in spirit and thought that under
lies so much of the work of this new
artist
charming study is that OF "A Little
Girl In Blue" a tiny little maiden with
yellow hair and a blue froek and bonnet
1t is swept In with a lightness and gaiety
and that wonderful freshness of color
and quick, bright touch
There are several still life studies and
a number of crayon and charcoal draw
In these charcoal heads especially that
technique, and fine constructive ability of
the artist is evidenced.
