The Largest Shark.

Sharks often attain very large size
along the Pacific coast, especially off
the shores Of southern California. Very
recently monster shark was captured
by two Italian fishermen in San Pedro
bay, that is claimed to be the largest
fish Of that kind ever caught in the
world. Beyond doubt 1T Is certainly
one Of the largest ever captured any
where.
When drawn out of the water and
killed. this sea monster weighed 1900
pounds. 1t measured from tip to tip
80 feet, and the circumference OF the
body just forward OF The huge dorsal
fine was IA feet. Across the fearful
mouth horizontally opened it
was 2ia feet, while from TIP of the
snout to the point Of the lower jaw it
measured s1s feet.
The shark became hopelessly enmeshed
in some 1,500 feet OF the fishermen's
net. The net he speedily tore into
strips, but. in the giant creatures ef
forts 20 escape, the strings and ropes
were wound many times around hs
gills. and the shark was held fast
prisoner. Despite its long and frantic
struggles for freedom, the shark was
finally stranded and killed with har-
poons. The struggle lasted for more
than an hour. The monsters stomach
was found full OF fish. II was engaged
in robbing the net when il became en-
tangled.
So far as here known, the largest
shark previously caught was 90 feet
long-teu feet shorter than the San
Pedro monster. In capturing the lat
ter the two fisherman had many mar
row escapes from being snapped up by
the creature. Il made a long, savage
and desperate struggle for its life. The
shark was skinned and stuffed and has
been placed on exhibition. Efforts, it is
understood, are being made by the
Smithsonian institution to secure this
splendid specimen OF the shark family.

A few weeks after the episode that
had such marked effect upon Ro-
derigo he was coming home late at
night when he saw man drinking at
the fountain. Advancing. he knocked
the cup from the strangers hand. The
man turned, hot at the insult, and see
ing one worthy Of his steel drew his
rapier and attacked the insuiter. San
doval drew and defended himself, cast
ing from time to time an eye on his
wife's window. All was dark there,
and In time he called halt in the
eight, apologized for the insult, refilled
the cup and offered 1t to the stranger.
The latter, puzzled, drank and went
away.
After that on numerous occasions
always at the dead OF night some
stranger stopping to quench his thirst
at the fountain would report In the
morning that tire cup had been knocked
from his hand and, sometimes after
fight. the insulter had apologized and
proffered a full cup. The police seemed
slngularly apathetic about the matter,
not even taking pains to watch the
fountain. Thus 1t became the belief
that the person who gave these insults
was high In favor OF the government.
One night man entered the square
and, seeing another at the fountain,
withdrew under the shadow Of eight

The reply to this was a lunge on the

DISCOVERED COAL VEIN

New Section Of the Famous Lykens De-
post Located on Land That

Pottsyille, Pa, Aug. 10.--No treasure
troye ever found equalled in value the
14foot vein Of Lykens red ash coal
which prospectors of the Philadelphia
Coal \ Iron Company. yesterday found
several hundred feet beneath the earfh's
surface at Glendower colliery, at Tay-
lorsville, IN the Heck sheryilIe valley.
The vein contains millions OF tons Of the
highest priced anthracite coal. The find
may be worth $50 100000.
The vein il now being proved 1t was
found near the dividing line between
Foster and Barry townships.
The Lykens valley vein coal Is worth

This valuable vein runs through
mountain range after mountain range

that The Lykens vein might have been

run.
This land, with It's untold wealth Of
coal, inst as great then as now, was
bought 20 years ago for few thousand
dollars from an independent operator.

KEPTOUT or OPEN MARKET

Washington, Aug. 10.--It leaked out
yesterday that the treasury department,
under direction Of Secretary Shaw, has
resumed the purchase of silver.
The movement has been going on
quietly for two months unknown To the
public, and large amounts of silver have
been bought OF have been contracted
for. The bullion is TO be used for
subsidiary coinage,
Part Of this il for immediate and
part for future delivery The purchases
have been made 1T the current market
prices, sellers not being aware that the
government was dealing in the market.
Treasury officials will not make any
statement, but the news that purchases
have been made is from positive and
unquestioned sources.
The amount bought Is not disclosed,
but based on present coinage, about
100000 ounces a year II needed for
subsidiary purposes and from 100000
ito 100000 ounces Approximately are
said to have been purchased.
The government has taken this COW
ert method Of buying to prevent being
held up and made To pay too high prices
when II goes into the market openly.
The silver win be coined as needed
into dimes, quarters and halves. There
is a special lack Of dimes. The crop
moving needs for small money require
especially To be met, but the general
expansion Of business is IN part respon-
sible for the increasing call for subsid-
larry money,
There is reason to believe the gov
eminent will be ii the market continu.
ally from now on for silver. and that
open purchases BY bids will soon be
made. For some time there have been
reports that the government would re-
sumo silver purchases, and it will I'M
doubtedly cause general surprise that
quiet buying has proceeded for some
days
Acting Secretary Keep Of the treas
ury department said yesterday after
noon that an official statement would
be issued from the mint bureau later
Until then he did not care to discuss
details
