VESSEL DELAYED BY SHARKS
For Twenty Days Sailors Saw Moth
ing but the Monsters All
About Them.

When ship is brought to standstill
for "a hours by school of sharks that
extends in all directions to the horizon
and when the vessel sails for the next
20 days amid nothing but sharks it is
SAID by old salts that it promises to be
a good season for fishing, says the Phil
adelphia Inquirer.
Tnls is the story brought to Philadel-
ph1a by the captain of the American
ship Babcocll, from San Francisco, with
a cargo of scrap iron. In fact, the cap
tain hints at tragedy, for, according
to his story, the myriad of sharks left
him IN pursuit of another vessel. /.
Inc Babcock sailed from San Francis
co November "a. When in latitude 5.25
north, longitude % west, on December
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.
Inc breeze fell Off and what remained
was not sufficient to send the vessel
through the mass of fish. A strong wind
came after the vesse, had been stranded
amid the sharks for "a hours and slow
Roadway was possible. The captain
denies that the sharks tried to reach the
deck by climbing upon the backs Of one
another.
For 20 days the sailors could see moth
ing but sharks. They we're hundreds Of
miles from any land and were getting
thoroughly frightened, when along
comes another vessel. The sharks saw
that the new conner 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 clear

REMARKABLE SODA SPRING,
Has Formed Vast Bed of Solid Salts
..r. Through Which Stream
Passes.

SAAOISoAy OAc VI tuS mOSL remark
able springs in the world has recently
been discovered in New Mexico. It is
literally a spring, says the Engineering
and Mining Journal, saturated with
sodium sulphate. Distilled water
weighs 1888 pounds to the gallon. The
water of this spring weighs 10. 66 pounds
per gallon; and evaporation yields 3,l3
pounds of dry solid matter, of which SO
Ter cent. is sulphate of soda, crystalliz-
ing out chemically pure.
The sulphate of soda crystal contains
81 per cent. water. At ITO degrees F. it
melts in it's own water of crystalliza-
ton; and the temperature of the spring
being slightly in excess Of 40 degrees
F., the saturated liquid upon overflow
ing and cooling Immediately forms
crystalline mass like ice.
The natural inquiry arises as to the
deposit or accumulation of ages from
this spring; for, unless it DISCHARGED
into stream of fresh water, the deposit
would be vast in extent No more fit
ting location could be imagined. for it
is in the lowest portion of vast sink
or basin, scores of miles in extent.
The deposit, therefore, has formed q
vast bed, miles in extent, of solid sodium
salts, through which this spring, by rea-
son of its heat, maintains it's channel
and continues to augment the deposit.
Inasmuch as the soda crystal effloresces.
or gives up its water by evaporation, the
elements serve to smooth and level the
surface; so that the lake, though dry. is
white as snow and bears some resem-
blances to northern lake in the en-
brace of winter.

Trees.

Authorities on forestry say that
seventy-fve years are required for the
oak to reach maturity; for the ASH
larch and elm, about the same length
Of time; for the spruce and fir, about
eighty years. After this time their
growth remains stationary for some
years, and then decay begins. There
are, however, some exceptions to this.
for oaks are still living which are
known to be 1000 years old

WITHDRAWAL PERMITS.
Existing Regulations Are Materially
Modified

The Secretary Of the Treasury has mate
rally modified existing regulations as to the
Withdrawals of imported merchandise from
custom warehouses Under the new regula-
tions importers may transfer the right Of
withdrawal by leaving blank the place for
the name of the transferee and so enable
any subsequent holder II he so desires to
readily borrow money on the gooos. Under
the old regulations the merchandise must
have been withdrawn either by the i'm
porter himself or by his immediate trans
fierce named in the withdrawal. The Secre-
tary's letter of Instructions says:
IF the importer does not wish to limit the
right of withdrawal to one person, he may
leave the space for the name blank: l. e.,
make the authorization In blank. In that
case the delivery permit should be issued
without bearing either the signature of the
customs officer. or the name of the person
TO whom the transfer is made. By this
means subsequent transfers may be made
without notation on the records of the Gus
tom house. The person paying the duties
and charges must insert in the withdrawal:
whereupon the delivery permit will be COM
pleted by the customs officer
Upon surrender of the withdrawal and
permit by any holder, two or more with
drawals and permits made out like the
first, may be substituted therefor. so as to
effect the withdrawal In accordance with
than the entire quantity of merchandise de-
posted in the bonded warehouse.
THE interest of the government ceases
with the payment OF duties and charges
and delivery of the merchandise thereupon
rests with the warehouseman.'

CONTRIBUTING MONEY.
Friends of Mrs. Cooper Aiding in Le-
gal Fight.

Another meeting of the patrons of the M
Street high School was held at Galbraith
A. NJ. E. Zion Church last night to protest
against the action of the board of educa-
ton In removing Mrs. A J. Cooper as prin-
cipal of the NJ Street High School. Rev.
DIR. s. L. Carrothers presided and Charles
E. Lane served secretary. The sense of
the meeting was that the of Mrs
Cooper should be carried into the courts to
test the authority. of the board to make the
removal without first giving her a hearing.
The course to be pursued by the commit
tee in bringing the matter before the public
and before the court was fully discussed. A
number of public mass meetings are to be
held.
The case of Prof. J. L. Love was also dis
cussed, and II was held that his removal
was also irregular and without sanction OF
the school law. Those concerned will Also
seek to have the fullest investigation OF tho
action of the board of education in this case
Resolutions were adopted unanimously 10
the erect that the action of the so-called
principal OF the NJ Street High School in
denying to Mrs. A ]. Cooper the real prin-
cipal, the right to enter the school today
Is regarded by this meeting as an outrage
against womanhood and the common rights
OF citizenship. His action in this matter
was brutal. insulting and disgraceful. II
the superintendents statement. published
In The Star. is correct then the action in
refusing admission to Mrs. Cooper was
without authority and In actual violation
of the superintendent instruction. Such
man is unf1t for the responsible position
he is usurping, and the ma jority of the
patrons of the school feel that ne is not
prepared in common sense, manners or
tact.
I'VE, therefore, vigorously protest against
his unmanly action, and insist that this act
alone shows him incapable OF filling the
position to which he has been unlawfully
assigned.
4 committee to prepare an address to
the public mass meeting was named as
follows: G. S. Mabry, chairman, DR.. J.
L. Norwood, Rev. VIM. ID. Jarvis, Thos.
y. Johnson, Rev. Edw. H. Hunter, Rev.
DR.. Wiseman, James L. Neal, Rev. J. l..

1t was decided to raise funds for the
support of counsel for the defense Of
Ms. A. J. Cooper, and a sum of money

Monterey was the seat of revolution and
that foreigners were to be driven from the

of the people were proven by their cordial
manner toward foreigners. Mr.. Hanna
