WHEN SHARKS ARE 1NFURIATED
The Battle With the Swordf1sh Is Too
 Horrible For Description.
CNew York Evening Post.)

NNSW YOTk EIN6IlIiS IO6l.J
 That hardest of hardy ship news annuals, the story of the deep sea quarrel between swordfish and whale lit was a shark this time-reached port in good order, to-day on board the stanch ship Caledonia of the An chor Line. It had grown so since last season that some of the oldest salts of the Battery Park benches did not recognize it.
 It was a calm and beautiful Sunday morn at sea. The Caledonia, blowing her way through a bottle green ocean was 60 miles due east of Montauk Point. Cspt. F. H. Wordsworth was lazed. idly on deck. All was peace and tranquility. Suddenly someone with keen eyesight espied the peren- nial cornmotion in the water just off the ships bows. All eyes at once peered seaward expecting to be re- struggle between shark and sWordf1sh.
 To their utter amazement and de- light what should meet their wonder ing eyes but scores-aye, scores-of swordfish and sharks frolickihg in a friendly play about the ship! It was easy to see that they were making splendid Sunday dinner of sbluef1sh. halibut and other well-known varie- ties. The Caledonias passengers said the swordfsh averaged 20 feet in length, and that, while the sharks were quite as large as that, they were ust as numerous.
 Having feasted on the fat of the sea. the monsters of the deep frolicked some more darting hither and yon through the salt sea waves. Play fully, the swordfsh ran their swords beneath the bodies of the sharks and tossed them high in the air, then delft ly caught them and repeated the per formance. The sharkssin turn. took playful nips at the swordhsh and chased them all around the ship. This continued for an hour, when one of the swordfsh erred in his Judgment of distance and caught shark on the point of his {bony nose, piercing the shark and ending his career then and there. With the death of their schoolmate, ed upon the swordfsh, and the battle which followed-from all accounts was indescribably horrible. As was the case last year, and the year. be- fore that, and even the year before that, the water boiled with the move ments of the sharks and the fish, and the pale blue changed to crimson, as the bodies of the sharks were pierced by the swordfish and the razor-like teeth of the man-eaters slashed the sides of the demons of the deep. Round and round the ship the angry throng raced, the water becoming a deeper red with every passing moment, while the bodies of sharks and sword fish alike floated here and there on and near the surface.
 One particular pair of fighters were watched by Purser Johnston, who said that the sword of the great fish broke off in ramming the side of the Caledo- mia 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 .devour him. Soon after the fight ing mass began to lag astern. and the ship came on alone, leaving the fight CTS to their fate and the final details of the battle to the landlubber's inn agination. -1

THE FIRE WASTE.
(Hartford Times.)


 By way of relief from the heat of the political situation there may be
 some small relative pleasure in con- sidering the otherwise irritating sub ject (mercury at this writing stand ing at 87 degrees) of the fire loss in the United States as discussed in a I large pamphlet prepared by Powell Evans. It is not proposed to go into the extended and very useful details
 printed, but to give some little idea
 of the actual loss to the country ev-
 cry year, and hint of the degree to which it is supposed that it can be averted The most compact single statement on. these points seems to be in an article by Mir. Evans which was first printed in the Survey in July of 1912. It begins with the statement as
 a matter of record that the fire waste in the United States and Canada is about ten times that of western Eu-
 rope, averages $250,000,000 a year and involves an additional cost of $780, 100000 more for protective measures that are made necessary by this con tinuing loss. It is hard to realize
 not been trained to think in millions, | but it will help to remember that Eff all buildings burned last year were | placed together on both sides of a l street they would make an avenue of desolatlon reaching from Chicago to l AN0W OTk. Here IS dlOll6F way IO get an idea of the magnitude of the waste-for a great part of it is waste 1 that results from our method of building and protecting houses, offices and public buildings:
 1 It represents about 40 per cent. of either the, total unused United States government receipts or total expendi- l lures, or the net earnings of Ameri- can railways; it represents about 80 | per cent. of either the, United States internal revenue receipts, or the Unit ] ed States customs, or the interest paid on the railways in the country. The direct waste of the United States in 1 the past ten years exceeds the amount 1 of gold held in the United Kingdom, Austria, Hungary, Italy and Spain. It
 is equivalent to wiping out the entire corn crop once every ten years and exceeds the annual value of wheat, 1 hay, rye, and oats It is twice the | annual value of the cotton crop. It Ecosts, moreover, more than 1,500 lives l and 5000 serious injuries annually.
 1 So much to suggest the kind of ap- 1 peal to economy and fzpreservation | for which MT Evans has been work 1 ing for years. We do not propose to 1 go into details, the weather and other circumstances being unpropitious. but

 zion's Herald finds that religious Weeklies are no longer as rule prof Mable publications Methodist publiea- lions in the. past. four years have lost $212,000, and maay other religious de- nominations are finding a similar state Of affairs with their papers. The great loss has been in the shrinkage Of ad- yertising. There are some classes Of advertising which of course a religious newspaper cannot carry, while the mass of people who advertise legiti- mate goods seem to have decided in some cases that there is no money in sending out their business announce ments in the religious publications. Yet many of these are still widely read and are fine examples of good work on the part of those in charge. The week1ies that are not religious also have had their troubles in many in- stances.

 The baron went out sobbing with grief.
 "What has she written to me?" said Buckingham feebly.
 Laporte broke the seal and placed the paper before the eyes of the duke, but Buckingham in vain endeavored to make out the writing. .5<s ..Ready' said he. s. 7 Laporte read:

 His eyes, darkened by death, met with nothing but Felton's knife.
 And you will add to them this knife, ; said the duke, pressing the hand of Laporte. Then in last convulsion he slipped off the sofa on the floor.
 At this moment the dukes surgeon arrived. He took the dukes hand, held tt for an instantsin his own and, letting it fall, said:
 "All is useless; he is dead''
 Dead! Dead"' screamed Patrick.
 As soon as Lord de Winter saw Buck ipgham was dead he ran to Felton, whom the soldiers still guarded on the terrace.

 m s long as Felton remained in the M boat which conveyed him to

 He entered Portsmouth about 6 o'clock i'm the morning. The whole population vas on foot Drums were beating in the stfeetstan in the port. The troops about to be embarked were marching toward the sea.
 Felten arrfred at the palace of the admiralty covered with dust and streaming with precipitation. His countenance, usually so pale, was pur- pie with heat and passion.
 "A pressing message from the Lord de Tinter.'v said he.
 At the name of Lord de Winter, who was known to be one of his grace's most intimate friends, the officer of the post gave orders for Felton to be al- lowed to pass. Besides, he wore the uniform of a naval officer

 At the moment he entered the vesti- bule another man was entering like wise, covered with dust and out of breath, leaving at the gate a post horse, which as soon as he had alight- cd from 1t sank down exhausted. Felton and he addressed Patrick, the duke's confidential valet de, chambre at the same moment.
 Patrick, who knew Lord de Winter, gave the preference to him who came in his name.
 The valet de chanbre introduced Felton into closet, where Bucking- ham was finishing his toilet. 'sWhy did not the baron come him. salf7s asked the duke. s' -fz rHe desired me te tell your grace replied Felton. ''that he was prevented by the guard he is obliged to keep at the castle" .
