CAPTURE GIANT SEA-cOW
Monster Taken by Fishermen Weighs
5000 Pounds and Is Twelve
Feet Long.

Point Isabel, Tex.-Mexican fisher.
men had am exciting encounter with a
mahatee, a giant sea-cow, in the shall
low water of the Laguna Madre near
here recently. 1t was captured only
after one Of the men, Ramon Rodri.
Susz, had been seriously hurt by one
of it's hippers.
The creature was 10 feet long and
weighed more than 5000 pounds. II is
being kept alive and promises to sur.
vive for some time.
The sea-cow is supposed to have
come up from the more southern wa
tiers OF the gulf. 1t entered the Lasu-
ma Madre at the pass which separates
the island from the mainland and was
seen by the fishermen struggling In a
swallow part OF the strip of water.
A boat with three men went out to
capture 1t. When they got close to it
Rodriguez climbed out of the boat and
attempted to put a rope around the
manatee's fms and was knocked nm
conscious by blow from one of its
hippers. He would have drowned had
he not been dragged into the boat by
his companions. The rope was finally
fastened and the manatee was towed
ashore. 1t is the second of its kind
captured in the Laguna Madre in the
last few weeks.
These animals are quite numerous
along the coast $50 to 200 miles south
OF here. They are adapted to both salt
and fresh water. A strange feature of
their appearance in the waters along
the coast is that they are usually &C
companied by a school of sea devils.
great SEQ monsters frequently weigh
ing as much as 4.50O pounds each. One
OF them when harpooned has been
known to drag 20 boats, hitched tan
dem, each carrying two men.
Such an experience came two or
three years ago at Arkansas Pass to
party OF fishermen, among whom were
John w. Robbis, then state treasurer;
w. G. Sterrett, present state game,
fish and oyster commissioner, and u.
w. Maxwell of Austin, a noted big
game hunter and fisherman. They
were fishing Just off the little town of
Tarpon when sea devil of extraordi-
nary size came to the surface near
one of the boats. A boatman sank a
harpoon deep into its body. the har-
poon being secured to the boat by
line. The sea devil made off at light
ming speed. AS the boat to which it
was attached passed the boats each
threw a line, and 20 other boats, carry
ing 40 men, were towed by the giant
animal. They had stuck to it for six
hours, when it headed out toward the
ocean. Then the men raised the sig
nal of distress and a life-saving crew
on Harbor island rowed out and shot
the monster.

LITTLE TROUBLE WITH TULIPS
These Beautiful Flowers May Easily
Be Made as Successful Here
as In Holland.

Horticulturists visiting Holland
bring back tales of how Dutch bulbs"
are grown for the world in the land
reclaimed from the Zuyder Zee. Tho
soil is sandy, superb in drainage and
naturally poor, but proper handling has
made it a rich one. After reading OF
the Holland methods. the writer has
this year produced tulips that are sec
ond to none, some being more than
two feet In height and very robust with
large flowers. The method Of care is
herein given in the hope that some
who have given up hope may be able
TO grow these beautiful flowers to a
satisfying degree of excellence. Many
other lots have been visited that are
very fine, where the care and culture
has been very similar to that followed
by the writer.
The two strong points in growing
good tulips are deep planting and
plenty Of water. TO provide good
drainage "a supposed essentially the
writer dug out a bed to the depth of
is inches, mixing the soil with some
sand and one-fourth horse manure that
contained large per cent of planning
mill shavings, used for bedding. This
was replaced and trodden down until
within six inches of the surface. Then
mixture was made OF one-half good
garden loan. one-fOurth sand. and orc
fourth pulverized sheep manure. The
soil was smoothed on the bottom of
the bed, one inch of this special soil
placed evenly over the surface. the
tulip bulbs placed upon it and the bal
ence of the special soil placed on ton.
After being wetted down it was about
SIX inches from the surface to bottom
of tulip bulbs. A little ridge of earth
was placed around the bed so that
when given a liberal watering the
water could stand two inches deep be-
lore soaking down, which latter it did
very rapidly. Then three inches of
fresh stable manure was placed on top
for mulch and the bed was heavily
watered, when no rain fell, twice each
week. The tulips so produced were
second to none in local gardens. They
were all singles, of the Gesneriana
type: Those IN one bed inspected that
were especially fine were placed the
same depth as herein noted. in almost
pure adobe, covered with four inches
of manure and kept well watered.
Lack of drainage did not seem to af-
feet them adversely. To sum up, the
two chief points are deep planting
and heavy watering.

RATS ATTACK BABY IN CRIB

Gnawed During Mothers
Absence.

Philadelphia.-Left alone by his
mother all afternoon and evening. six
months-old Frederick Brogden, colored.
was attacked by rats as he lay in a
crib at his parents home, 229 South
Warwick street.
The puny struggle the infant was

when the mother. Mrs. Mary b. BroE-
den, finally did return she found her
baby with the ends Of Eve OF his fin
gers chewed of, both ears gnawed, and
his body lacerated By the teeth OF the
rats, several Of which jumped from tho
crib and scampered across the floor as
she entered the room.
Mrs. Brogden's cries attracted the
attention of neighbors, who, on learn
ing what had happened, summoned an
ambulance and in it the infant, semi
conscious from pain and loss of blood,
and in serious condition from shock,
was removed to the Jefferson hospital,
where it was said he would recover.

NEW YORK SCHOOL GARDENS
Even In the Heart of the Crowded
Metropolis These Beauty Spots
Are to Be Found.

School gardens, for some years
feature Of education in smaller towns,
have at last taken root in New York.
Even in the heart OF crowded Man
haitian 1t has been found possible to
turn a bit of the school yard into
garden and there to let the children
grow flowers and vegetables. In some
schools each class has its plot, in
others there was enough room to
provide a plot for each child, but
this, except in the rural outskirts. is
rare. In one school, where it was
impossible to raise plants from the
earth, a goodly part of the cement
paved playground was given over to
boxes which afforded a home for
growing plants. There is large So
ciety, called the School Garden as
ISOLATION, of which the president is

Tennis in Japan.

The Japanese have displayed n pc.
culiar aptitude for lawn tennis. TC
many Indianapolis players the sight
OF an expert Japanese on the park
courts is not uncommon. Among the
best amateur players in the city are
Japanese house servants. What they
lack height they more than make
up In agility. They seem to be indie
fatigable. Tennis, like baseball, is
steadily growing in popularity in ia
pan The former has become a IA
vorite among japanese high school
and college students. intercollegiate
games have also become popular
among the students and their friends.
Among the well-known institutions
that have e large number of enthusi-
astic tennis players are the following:
Toxic Higher Normal school. Toxic
Commercial school (higher), Waseda
university, Toxic Kyoto university,
Kyoto; Third high school, Kyoto.
The foreign communities in the vari-
GUS ports, Yokohama, Kobe and Ma
gasaki, have tennis clubs. The lead
ing foreign club at Yokohama is
known as the Ladies' Lawn Tennis
club. Tennis rackets are already be-
ing manufactured in Japan, there be-
ing fix factories in Toxic alone.

Where Every One Loves Gardens.

In Japan every one loves gardens,
knows gardens and makes gardens.
The children amuse themselves with
toy gardens instead of mud pies, and
model relief maps in the sands OF
school Fairgrounds. In the recent
wars the soldiers, after long marches,
amused themselves by making little
home landscapes before their tents.
In more remote times -emperors and
shoguns abdicated and joined or
established monasteries in Kioto,
that they might the better mediate
upon the eternal truths, and enjoy
gardens of their own designing.
Priests, mobiles and court ladies' ALI
observed the conventions and prac1
ticed the rules of landscape art.
