COLLIDED WITH A SHARK
Swimmer Attempting to Cross British
Channel Has a Hair-Raisine
Experience.

In the latest attempt to swim the
English channel J. Wolfe. the
Scottish amateur, had a narrow cs-
cape from a shark. The monster
struck the swimmer across the Joins
and he is yet sore from having come
in contact with the monster of the
deep. Wolfe was going well on his
right side and there was every chance
that Webb's great feat would be
emulated after so many unsuccess-
full attempts when suddenly the
shark appeared from below.
The swimmer, in making the
stroke, thought the huge bulk was a
piece of wreckage, but as his hand
went back it passed along a Shiny
body and at that instant the shark
jumped clean out of the water
Wolfe turned around to see what
was the matter and the shark Owed
Those who accompanied Wolfe say
that it was one of the bottle-nosed
species and these never attack SWIM
mers in the water.
Wolffe's attempt has been the best
so far and probably had he escaped
meeting the shark he would have
completed the journey. He was
within mile and half Of the shore
when he was forced to give up.

ALL HAVE LITTLE TRICKS.

1t is said that every man has some
little trick or other Which he per-
forms unconsciously, especially when
he is thinking. The soyereigns of
Europe have all their own peculiar
habits. For example, King Edward
has way of passing his finger back
ward and forward under his chin;
the German Emperor twirls his mus
tache with energy, while the king
of Italy strokes his gently and af-
fectionately; the emperor of Aus
tria combs out his whiskers, and the
car frequently passes his hand over
the top of his head. Lastly, ex-
President Loubet has a trick of
struggling his right shoulder, and at
the same time smoothing the front
of his coat with his right hand

MAY FIND TREASURE SHIP
Fishermen While TrawIing Bring Up
Wreckage of British Vessel Sunk
in War of 1912.

1t is thought the paymaster's
scuttled ship Ensign, which was
sunk with her crew of 30 souls in
Chippewa bay, in the St Lawrence,
near Brockyille, during the war of
1912, has been located by fishermen
near Dark island, the summer home
of Commodore F. c. Bourne, of New
York, says the Ottawa correspondent
of the New York Sun. The discov-
cry, if true, means great wealth for
the lucky finders.
Odd pieces of ships rigging and
rope ends characteristic of 100 years
ago and the cover Of a sea chest with
the word Ensign laid in pearl have
come to light where the treasure ship
is supposed to lie.
The discovery was made lately
while two fishermen were out trawl-
ing. A heavy deep-sea lead was
taken along and between hauis the
lead was sunk by the men to satisfy
their curiosity as to the depth Of
water. The chest cover was brought
to the surface trailing two pieces of
rope and broken bar.
A close inspection revealed the
nature of the junk and the fishermen
angled around for four hours with
out anything further coming up. A
later venture proved that the sunken
ship was lying in 100 fathoms Of
water.

LESSON FROM THE PAST.

Thomas Jefferson was writing the
immortal declaration of independ-
ence, and had just evolved the rev.
dictionary doctrine that all men are
endowed with certain inalienable
rights, among which are ''life, lib
erty and the pursuit of happiness"
'Of course" he reflected, there
will be about one week in the year
when the boy with the cannon
cracker or the toy pistol will be at
liberty, in his pursuit of happiness,
to take anybody's life -
Smiling as he thought of the
havoc the automobiles would play
with these principles some day, he
proceeded to submit few facts for
the consideration of candid world.

absorb the descriptive knowledge so
pleasantly unfolded by the gentlemanly
lecturers.
The white city is beautiful picture

seers will take advantage to inspect
this monster moving caravan. The
horse stables alone are worth visiting
to all lovers of the gentle equine, for
the Sells-Floto "horse show" is the talk
of all America; then the ponies, they
should be seen; also the culinary de-
partment, where over 600 people are
served three times a day. The black
smith shops, the electric light plant
and a hundred places will be found of
interest.
Only work of an absolutely necessary
character is done on Sundays. If the
weather is fine and the water is not
too cold, the elephants will be given

CITY STICKS TO
OLD BRAND HOSE
Council Orders 5000 Feet More Hose
for the Department to Prepare
for Coming of Two
New Engines

The city will go on using the old
style of fire hose at 75 cents instead
of buying quantity of Paragon hose
at 81. This was the councils decision
yesterday.
When some days ago the fire COM
missioners decided to advertise for two
more engines of the highest power for
the business district it was also de-
cided to get a better brand of hose to
use with these engines.
Some of the councilmen failed to see
the object in advertising for bids,
when apparently the wish of the fire
commissioners was that the supplies
be divided between three firms.
Commissioner McGarry explained to
the council that the disposition of the
board was to distribute the business
among several firms to avoid charges
of favoritism.
Chief Lips stated that the 75-cent
hose had been in use for seven years
and had given good satisfaction here.
Usually every two years, as it became
worn, the hose was shifted from the
down town engine houses to the out
lying ones and new stock secured
On motion of Wallace it was decided
to purchase 5000 feet of the old grade
from the Victor Jacket people.
