SHARK MADE QUICK TRIP official government who has returned from a visit to Palm Beach, Fla., tells about seeing shark that was a huge says the New that at place, captured York Tribune It w as one of the bigFlorida gest sharks ever caught in waters and was evidently a sailor of many years. The animal measured over eighteen feet in length, had a sword attachment that was as long as an arm and was of tbe leopard variety, stamping it as one of the variety, a dangerous beast. Tbe shark was caught by a shark fisherman. He used a large rope for a line and had a windlass as a reel. At the end of the line was a huge steel hook and this was baited with a large bright tin can. The shark bit at tbe bait and wap entrapped. He was landed after the roughest time the fisherman ever experienced. It was the interior of the fish, however, that When excited the greatest interest. he was cut open a whole porpoise was found in the stomach. Theie was also a large piece of partly digested shark The and the head of an ostrich was piece of shark inside the monster out of the back and contained tbe backbone of the dead animai. A careful examination showed that the backbones were larger than the backbones of the captured shark. A number of scars on his body showed that he had been in conflict with another shark and the finding of a piece of the adversary showed that the conflict had ended in the death of the opponent: that the victor had thou swallowed a juicy portion of his adversary. The presence of the ostrich r head in the stomach of the was regarded as undoubted proof that the shark had probably just arrived in Florida waters from Africa, and that he had made tbe trip in two or three days. The head was not digested and the process of digestion had only just begun. There is only on ostrich farm in Florida and when that institution was communicated with the owners said that they had not lost an ostrich in a year. The ability of a shark to pass a fast steamer in one minutes time is well known to travelers, and there is no doubt that the shark bad been in African waters and bad captured a stray ostrich or the head of one that had been killed and then started across the Atlantia, reaching the Florida waters before the ostrich head had begun to digest The woman fainted, and these are some of the things that the men in the room with ber did, says the Baltimore News. Two of them made a dash for the dining room to get water, and fell over each other at the door of that apartment. One hastened to a neighboring drug store for a mixture of vichy and ammonia. One appeared suddenly with a glass of whisky, obtained no one knows where. In endeavoring to raise the gas two able bodied and excited masculines put it out and left the party In total darkness for at least a minute, while every one of them fumbled in bis pockets for a match. Four men fanned the invalid with music, handkerchiefs, hats or whatever was to hand." One held a jar under her nose under the mistaken Impression it would be reviving in its effects, though it wasnt. and Another said, Here, dear, tried to wipe her brow with a fan he held, instead of the handkerchief that was in his other hand. Four woman Two looked gardly, Gold, in its natural state, like many other products of the earth, is an article of development. What its original elements are is still a matter of some speculation, hut the fact has been demonstrated that a nugget of the precious metal left In its original environments will gradually, though slowly, attract to itself particles of gold dust, and after the lapse of years possess an added value. Gold is known to have grown on mine timbers which have long been immersed in mine water. In the California state mining bureau museums there is a specimen of a piece of jointed cap and post taken from the Comstock, where it bad been under water for years, in which gold was formed in the joints and poiesof the wood. Gold is constantly being formed in ricks and veins and placers. Just what it is that the baby gold formation feeds on to effect its growth is not known; if it were a new and wonderfully lucrative industry might be horn and all other kinds of farming save the growing of gold might temporarily to he abandoned. The formation and growth are due to mechanical and chemical action. As in the case of the animal or vegetable, existing gold has existed iu some' other state before assuming its present form. which Waters peroolate through the earths crust are said to contain substances from which gold is formed. Thus gold, like the animat and vegetable, must have water iu order to thrive. The gold in the water is deposited when it meets the proper precipitant. The precipitant may be an earth current of electricity in the rocks. R has oeen claimed that the nuggets found In placers are the formations from the waters that percolate through the gravels and are not from decomposed quartz, as generally supThose who so contend cit posed. the fact that in the center of nuggets can often be found a small grain of iron sand. This was the nucleus around which the earth current of or deposited in electricity created electroplating. During long ages this influence was at work causing th gold to form around the little grain of iron ore and then grow to becom a bright, shining nugget of gold much larger and purer than any ever found in the veins of ore.

HUNTER IN DEADLY PERIL A hunter in the African desert had discovered two leopard cubs in a cave, and was aaxious to secure them. When he was about to enter the cave it suddenly occurred to blm that if the father should return to bis family he, the hunter, would he in rather an ugly fix. However, he persevered, and had secured the cubs, when a shadow darkened the mouth of the cave. Mr. Gillmore continues the story in "Days and Nights by the Desert:" Serious as my position was, I had no fear. Although deprive!! of the light, I knew where my foe was, for his eyes glowed like bails of fire, gradually increasing in size and intensity as the brute approached me. One thing was in my favor, so much so that afterward I thought that to It 1 owed my life namely, that the roof was so low that th leopard could not dash in upon me with, a spring, but had to advance slowly, as his body was of necessity Btretched out to its full length. It was truly an anxious moment while I took aim, for how much depended on my taking a correct aim! The report answered the triggers, and If darkness had reigned before, it ap peared additionally intense from the body of smoke that Immediately after surrounded me. As a proof that the bullet had done its work, I had not been attacked. Still, from the struggling that took place In front of me, it was clearly evident that it had not deprived my foe of life, and a wounded leopard is without question th most dangerous of wild beasts to encounter. The first duty of a hunter after he has fired is to reload his gun. I endeavored to do so, but from my constrained position the process was slow. However, at length I succeeded, no easy task in the darkness with the wounded beast struggling toward me. I shoved my musket forward to Are. With its muzzle I touched the object of my aim. I pressed the trig" ger, and in a moment after all wag still. I drew a deep breath of tbanlh fulness, and no wonder! So close was my trophy wedged, In the passage in front of me that it was not without great labor I passed over it and gained the outlet; but even here my task was not ended, for It took me an hour or more before I could draw out tbe carcass.
