Swordfish and Sharks Fight to Death

varieties. The Caledonia's passengers
said the swordfish averaged 20 feet
in length, and that, while the sharks
were not quite as large as that they
were just as numerous.
Having Toasted on the fat of the sea,
the monsters of the deep frolicked
some more, darting hither and yen
through the salt sea waves. Playfully,
the swordfish ran their swords be-
meath the bodies Of the sharks and
tossed them high in the air, then deft-
ly caught them and repeated the per
Torrance. The sharks, in turn, took
playful swipes at the swordflsh and
chased them all around the ship. This
continued for an hour, when one Of
the swordflsh erred in his Judgment
Of distance and caught a shark on the
point of his bony nose, piercing the
shark and ending his career then and
there.
With the death of their schoolmate,
the sharks, becoming Infatuated, turn
ed upon the swordfish, and the battle
which folIowed-from all accounts
was indescribably horrible.
One particular pair of fighters were
watched by Purser Johnston, who said
that the sword of the great fish broke
OF in ramming the side of the Gale
donia after missing a vicious thrust at
his enemy. Before the swordsman Of
the deep could save himself by flight
the shark had killed and begun to de-
YOUR him.

A H0rSeless Town.

Prom the Louisville Courier,Jomnal.
Indianapolis Is to have a horseless
suburb to be known as Speedway. The
town is being promoted by a number OF
persons connected with the motor car
trade.
1t is planned to make Speedway a
motorcar town. There are to be no fac
tories unless they are automobile fac
tories or are identified In some way with
the automobile business. The fire de-
partment Is to be equipped with motor
driven apparatus and the use of horse
drawn vehicles for delivery and other
purposes will not be permitted. Grocers
and other business men who deliver their
goods will be required to use motor
trucks. In fact, Speedway is to be
strictly a motor town and the wonder
Is that its promoters did not call 1t Mo-
torville or Autoburg or something Of the
sort. As an Offset to this. however, the
streets are to bear names that are well
known In the motor world.
It remains to be seen II horse drawn
vehicles from the surrounding country
will be stopped at the town limits or II
itinerant wagons and horseback riders
will be required to drive all the way
around the municipality or required to
pass through in . trot.
