final furry, which caused the water
to heave as with a miniature earth
quake, it ceased it's struggles and we
towed it shoreward, escorted by
shoals of sharks.

MAILBAG 300
YEARS OLD

A very curious discovery, which
throws some interesting sidelights on
the life of 10th century Europe, was
made some years ago, when the con-
tents Of the old postoffice at Frank
lort-on-the-M Main were transferred to
the new premises. A complete mail
bag, full of letters and apparently Of
ficially sealed, was discovered hidden
among the rafters of the old post
office where it had lain forgotten
for over 300 years, says Chambers
Journal.
The bag was at first deposited in
tact among the State archives, but it
has recently been handed over to the
Imperial Postal Museum, where the
curator, Doctor Sautter, has been oc-
cupied in examining the contents
Doctor Sautter has published the re-
suits of his examinations in the I'm
perial Post and Telegraph Archives.
The mail comprised 175 packages.
containing in all 272 letters; in some
instances several different letters
were inclosed in one package, either
for the sake of economy or in the
hope of greater security.
Most of the letters were addressed
to persons residing in AiX-la-Chapelle,
Cologne and Antwerp, besides a num-
Der intended to reach officers and sol
diers of the Spanish army then, OPP
Grating in the Netherlands.
One can but vainly speculate upon
the disappointments, quarrels and
losses that may have resulted from
the miscarriage of all these mes
sages. They were no doubt serious,
for in those days letter writing was
too costly and troublesome to be I'M
dertaken without real need Doctor
Sautter has classified the letters and
published a selection of those that
contain items of general interest.
The "aviso" or dispatch note, found
in the bag, is written in Italian,
though signed by the Spanish Post
master at Milan. 1t is dated May 16,
1885, and consigned the mail to the
Imperial Postmaster, then resident in
Cologne.

FIGHT WITH
A SEA BAT

Our ship, the steamship Lonsdale,
Of the Canadian-Mexican Line, was
lying in the harbor of Manzanillo.
Mex, and we were out fishing some
Is miles down the coast. We were
using a gasoline launch, and | was
standing on the bows ready to har-
poon a large fish which had bitten
and was being pulled to the surface.
Suddenly fish and line were snapped
away and through the clear water
discerned a huge dark purple mass,
scarcely a fathom below the boat.
Shouting to our Mexican engineer to
start the launch, l threw the harpoon
with all my strength. 1t struck home,
and instantly a great disturbance
took place. Some monstrous creature
rose to the surface and dashed at the
boat, striking out with what looked
for all the world like two great
wings. The strokes were terrific,
and we had the utmost difficulty in
keeping clear Had one of these
wings touched the boat it would
have been smashed like matchwood,
and, as shark were watching the dis,
turbance, our fate would soon have
been decided, says the Wide World
Magazine,
Although the water all around us
was seething from the fury of the
monsters onslaught, we did not alto
gether lose our heads, but did our

DEMERITS GIVEN BY
 UPPER CLASSMEN
Assigned as Reason for Dismissal of Cadet Leon Israel From
 West Point

Demerits given by upper classmen are assigned as the reason for the dis missal of Leon Isreal, the Birmingham cadet who was appointed to West Point by Congressman Oscar w. Underwood of this city. The dismissal of young Isreal was known here by few inti- mate friends few days ago but con- siderable mystery clouded the cause for his leaving West Point. Congress- man Underwood when advised of the dismissal immediately requested Sec retary of War Stimson to make an in- vestigation. That Is being done and will perhaps be concluded this week. MT. Underwood does not wish to make report instituted by the Secretary of War Is in hand.
 The principal in the dismissal Is a son of a well known merchant tailor of this city who has been a resident q Alabama for many years. The cadet educated in the Birmingham pub 1 chools, is a graduate of the high s,ol. He was orator of the last graduating class. While preparing for graduation Isreal was asked to stand his examination at Savannah and he did so. His paper when passed upon was given a vefy~ high mark by the examining board.
 He entered West Point early in July and since that time local friends were of the opinion that he was progressing well until the news of his trouble came here

COWART LEAVES

Will Discuss Plans to Get More Im- migrants in Southern
 Territory

Lee Cowart, immigration commissioner of this state. will leave tomorrow morn ing for Washington to attend a meeting of immigration officials of the southeast. called by the department of agriculture of the United States. The thought of the commissioners will be directed to the best method of turning the immigrants who land at Ellis Island in New York to the southern agricultural and industrial dis tricts.
 MT. Cowart will deliver an address at the meeting. He has given the matter some investigation and is familiar with a plan which will be outlined, that may be effective in eventually populating tie barren places in the south.
 MT. Cowart said that he believed the meeting to be held would be of great aid to the southern farmers as the shortage of labor in this section is growing. 1t is planned to- secure, if possible. the greatest possible number of desirable for eigners who come to America through Ellis Island and divert the stream of travellers to this section rather than to the unknown west.
