One day they noticed that the strip

The men wanted to sell then, but
the market seemed remarkably slug

vigorously that only tiny strip about
as wide as a piece of baby ribbon was
left. The men were much depressed.
Suddenly the land began to increase.
The Missouri had chosen the late
manufacturing site for a place to de-

it had foreclosed up the river Inside

the extra 100 acres but the original

BIG SHARK
BOARDS STEAMER

| philadelphia Correspondence Of the
New York Hersld.)
A two hours battle with a man-eat
/ ing shark, fifteen feet long, that had
/ been washed on deck by a gigantic
wave during a storm, was the unusual
experience of Capt. Larsen and crew
of the Norwegian steamship Bodo,
which ardived here today from Santo
Domingo with cargo OF bananas.
Capt Larsen preserved the monster
shark and fifteen little ones, each a
foot long. found In the man-eater.
Besides the little sharks, six large
swapping turtles, a straw hat and a
can labeled "fsh ball meat" were
found in the shark.
The Shark was washed aboard the
Bodo last Wednesday, while the ves-
sci was off Hatteras. The sea was
rough, and huge waves washed over
the deck. Suddenly the Bodo shipped
a gigantic wave. and when the water
left the deck the crew were aston
ished to see the big shark tapping
around on the deck.
The captain and every member of
the crew went at the shark with irons.
but several times they were put to
flight when the shark got close to them
in tapping about.
After prodding the shark about an
hour the crew believed the man-eater
was dead, and dragged 1t to the after
part OF the steamship. The sea con-
tinued to wash over the deck, and in a
few minutes the monster gave battle
again, and 1t was more than another
hour before Il was finally killed.

Places Where Cooking IL Done In
Boiling Springs.

Boiling Springs.
There are one or two countries-Ice-
land, for example-where washday Is
not dreaded, because nature provides
the hot water at ones very door in the
shape of steaming springs of spouting
geysers. But there is only one country
where the native women do practically
all their cooking by unaided nature,
and that Is the North island Of New
Zealand. Here is a wonderland OF a
thousand square miles 80 volcanic that
fire may be lighted by inserting a
few sticks in the earth, and wherever
one makes hole he speedily has pool
of boiling water. into which a pudding
may be lowered incased in cloth and
cooked expeditiously.
Frequently in perfectly cold streams
a boiling hot current may be seen and
felt running along the edge of the
river, and here the Maori women do
their own and the white mans wash
ing. Naturally the volcanic region of
New Zealand is a dangerous country to
wander in without guide, and many
tourists have lost their lives as the re-
suit Of such carelessness. Maori serv-
ants boil coffee and eggs in this way
