* YlanivEtIishT"' A MONSTER WHICH IXFESTS < CALIFORNIA'S COASTS. 1 A Great Fish That Tows Vessels? Tfte bxperieiicc ~ Pearl Diver?Shocking Unwary Celestials. "Do you see that short, thick-set man sitting on the boat ?" asked a lounger at San Fedro, Cal., to a New York Commercial Advertiser correspondent. "Well, he's an ex-pearl diver, ex-smuggler, exeverything, and can tell some strange stories of this part of the world.'' A little later I was introduced to the diver, who was a half-breed Mexican. He laughed when his experiences were referred to, and replied: "They were nothing. I have left the business, and Lave done with it for good or bad. It's a dog's life, this diving, and I would not go back to it for any thing you could offer. Whv? Well, I am tired of it, and I was , covered with a blanket tisli ou my last trip down, and the second time mean* death. Am I sure?" tuid the half-breed smiled. "Well, I never knew it to fail There were Iiamoles, Nan*. Xalona. all from my family, killed by the blanketfish, and every one had his warning. It is doc necessary to believe it. I do, however. It is not a thing that a man would be likely to forget." "I .have seen a good many of them 1% my time, but I was never cornered except once, and that was a year ago. I was one | of the party that went to the pearl j grounds in the Centipede, the boat that. I was never heard from after her next j: cruise. It came my turn to go down and i over I went; but as soon as 1 got down 1 | felt that something was wrong, that j something was going to happen as soon j as I struck the bottom. I landed among J a fine lot of pearl shells, and had bcia i to fill my basket, when all at onee I noticed a darkening about me and looked uju i j saw what appeared tr> be a blanket s owly j ettling down over me. I knew I liad a ' cliance, so i t.\>wded down close t > the bottom, hoping the tish wouldn't see me, ! and by luck it didn't. Just as it was ten or twelve feet otf something alarmed it. and it darted away. I was hauled up more dead tlinn aiire. I judged tbat the fish was at least thirty feet across, and if it had settled on we nothing could have 6aved me." ' - ? :? I "The divers," saia an aiiiitkhu i.uci on, "have an idea that these lish settle down on you, as tliey have a very broad surface and a peculiar undulating motion in the water, using the side tins like wings. They are almost as powerful as a large whale, and one twenty-five feet across could undoubtedly move of! with a large ship. In almost every locality where they are found stories are told of their carrying off vessels. Several instances of this have happened in the Gulf of Mexico, where devil fish, as they are (ailed there, have run off with 6macks and small fishing vessels during the night. In one instance a skipper j 'turned in' at night in a harbor and j awoke in the morning to find himself out of sight of land, a big devil fish had run foul of the anchor and.gone out of the chanuel so silently that none of the crew I noticed it." Tampa bay, Florida, is a famous place for these monster? of the deep, and often ' schools of a dozen or more are seen j swimming about in circles. These rays J are among the largest fishes known. Twn i immense fins extend out from each side, while from the tail projects a long lash-1 like whip, capable of doing severe exe-1 cution. The writer was once poling a! boat o^er the Florida reefs in the vicinity I of Key West, when a comrade, who had ! ' been sitting astride the cut-water dang- j 15 v;~ uMfnr tltraw i ! ling ins icec in niv m.uvi, viaivm - -? back into the boat with a yell of pain, | while a huge black ray darting of! over i the white sand told the story. Both of his feet were cut almost to the bone. The weapon that produced the injury was a delicate whip-like lash, smaller than a man's little finger. On- still night*, in sub-tropical regions, the rays are often chased by sharks, and leap from the water in their attempts to escape, falling with a tremendous crash. The man-eating sharks, with their thick skins, are safe from their attacks, and ; often bite out great pieces from the side ; ( fins of the mousters. At San Pedro and the various watering J places from i?au Diego north, the ray fam- i lly makes itself disagreeably conspicuous. ' The smaller ones have a habit of hiding , in the sand, and presenting their spines i for bathers' feet, while others are pro- ' vided with electric batteries, which not j rarely give the fishermen powerful shocks. I have known a man to be dis- i ' fr\r Vinrnnnninor i a'/ltvt iUl CV f VI 111 v *v? ^ I one. The Chinese monopolize the fishing in | these waters, and are often victims of the ! practical jokes of the Mexican and Amer- j lean fishermen. An able-bodied torpedo ; will be brought ashore at San Pedro or i Monterey and the whites will wager a ! green Chiuaman that he cannot lift it. j The fish appears to weigh about six or : eight pounds, and "John,''after putting up his money, with a laugh ut the sim-: plicitv of the "American devils," takes ' liold with hoth hands and is stiffened out ; 60 quickly that often he can do nothing] but hold the fish and roar with anguish j until he is released. The shock given by : these fishes has been compared to that of ! a single Leydcn jar, and can be plainly ] felt by fifty persons in a circle. Some Queer Epitaphs. One of the English weekly journals! has made an extensive collection of "quaint and curious epitaphs." Here are some of the best: Epitaph on a Mr. Partridge, who died in the month of May: What, kill a partridge in the month of May ! Eh, Death ! Eh ! On a young lady who died of paraly- | eis, brought on by a hair-dye containing sugar of lead: In all the pride of health I dyed, A dire mischance did th-?n betide? That dye contained some sugar of lead? j My hair is golden, but I'm dead. A man who had four wives wrote the following epitaph, after burying the fourth and collecting the remains of the other three and placing them in the same tomb: Stranger, pouse and drop a tear, For Susan Sparks is buried here, Mingled in some perplexing manner With Jane, Maria and portions of Hannah, j Here lies my dear wife, a sad slattern and shrew.

' How ta SaTe Persia* Exposed tt> Heath l?y Orowning:, TJw following timely directions have beer, issued by Dr? I. D. Jones, President erf the Ohio State Board of Health: First?Remove all obstructions to breathing; cut loose tne ucctv uu? bands. Let the person be turned face downward, with the head down hill, the persou having charge to stand astride of the hips with the face toward the head of the patient, and both the fingers under the belly: raise the body as high as possible without lifting the forehead from the ground, and give the body a smart jerk to remove the mucus from the throat and the water from the windpipe; hold the body suspended long enough so that you may count five slowly. Repeat the jerk three or four times slowly. Sccond?Let the patieut be placed face downward, you maintaining your position astride the body. Grasp the clothing at the shoulder points, or if the patient is naked, place your fingers into the armpits, with the thumbs on the top of the shoulders, and raise the chest as high as you can, letting the head rest on the ground. Keep this position until you can count three slowly. Keep the patient on the ground with the forehead on the arm and the neck straightened; see that the nvouth and nose are free. Place your elbows against your knees and your hands against the sides of the chest, over the lower ribs, press downward and inward with force, count two slowly, then suddenly let go and grasp the shoulders as before and raise (he chest, then press upon the ribs. These movements should be alternated for ten or fifteen times a minute, unless breathing lias been restored sooner. Use the same regularity ?s iu natural breathin nr. "**o* 1'hird?After breathing has been re- j stored, then restore the animal heat, i Wrap the patient in blankets. Pat hot water or hot bricks oranvthing to restore 1 warmth. Warm the bend as fast as the body, to prevent convulsions. Hub the b? dy and slap the fleshy parts. This will produce war.nth. When you are satisfied the patient can swallow, give hot it rinks colFee, tea, or sparingly of cpir'ts with h<it water. Place the patient on a warm bed and let there be plenty of fresh air in the ro >m. Keep the patient ijuiet. Avoid delay. Artificial breathing is of the most importance. Do not permit the patient to lie on the back unless some person prevents the tongue from falling backward, which might produce a fatal choking. If breathing ceases i give smart slaps on the face or suddun jerks of the hand, and it will sometimes start again. Do not give up too soon, for within two hours it may be near success. How frequently we find people who know how to care for animals but know not how to administer to a person in distress. A Kansas Device to Sell Liqnor. Iu several citics in the State what is known as the "blind tiger" is the schcme which is being used to sell beer and | whisky. A description of this novel little apparatus, ioldby a gentleman who investigated it, is as follows: ''The other day when I was out in Western Kansas iu a town of not over 500 people I aske.l the hotel proprietor if there was any place where I could obtain some beer, lie pointed significantly to a little du"-out in the rear of the hotel and motioned me to go ahead. "I did, and passing live or six steps I entered a room about five feet below the surface of the earth, ten feet long by six feet wide. "Looking around on either side of me was the wall, but gazing ahead was a partition dividing the room. In the centre of this partition midway from the floor to the ceiling was a revolving cylinder divided into compartments. Above . this "wheel," as it was called, were 1 printed the following words on a placard: : PUT TOUR MONET : On the wheel. : ; Your change will : ; Come back. : : Beer, 40c per bottle.: : Beer, 5c per glass. J :Blackberry brandy,: ;T\vo drinks for &5.: ''I went down into my pocket, and , finding among the ruins a fifty-cent piece, | I placed it on the wheel in one of the compartments. In a clear and distict . tone of voice I said: "One bottle of beer, please." For a second silence reigned supreme in the cave-like saloon. I soon heard a 1 creaking sound, the wheel revolved, and . my fifty-ceut piece disappeared from view. Tor the space of several minutes I heard nothing; then the wheel revolved j once more, and before my astonished ! gave rested a bottle of beer, a glass, and J a ten-cent piece, the glass being in one compartment and the beer in the other. T /Irnnk thp fnrliidrlpn fluid in siience. ' and placing the empty gla?s and bottle back in the compartments of the wheel ( I saw them whisked from my sight, and , then I withdrew. "Now, at no time was the party who . sold me the liquor visible,and it would be t impossible for me to swear who or what | he was. The partition which divided the c ave and behind which the unknown | seller transacted his business was very tight, having but one crack in it. I , looked through this, striving to see what . was behind the mysterious partition, but I could see but one thing and that was a Government license from the Internal Revenue office at Leavenworth."?Tojnhi (Kan.)

Buffalo Bill, the noted scout and hur ter, has been detailing some of the inc: dents of his career to a London Gloi representative. He said: "I was bor in February, 1845, in the State of Iowj I need not go into details respecting m family, and can dismiss my youth by saj ing that when I was not on a horse I w? just being thrown off one. I soon b< came a pretty smart rider, and my pra< tice with a gun was pretty good, too. was twelve years old when I killed m first Indian. It happened rathersudder I was walking out by the river, near Fo; Kearney, one night about ten o'clocl My companion had got on ahead somi how, and I was quite alone, when lool ing up toward the bluff bordering th river I saw, illuminated by the moon, tli head and shoulders of a live Indiai watching me with evident interest. No I had heard many stories of the doinj of the red men, and had also been incu cated with a thorough distrust of thei ways; so, quickly coming to conclusion as to what I 6houl do, I brought my gun to m shoulder, and aiming at the head, firec The report sounded louder than usual i the silence of the night, for it was pa; ten o'clock, and was followed by a wa whoop such as could only be built np 1 an Indian, and the next instant over si feet of dead Indian came down splas into the river. Soon after this I went to business, took the plains, and in the employ < Messrs. Russell and Simpson soon learne the ins and outs of the wild life lc with horses and cattle-driving team riding express ponies, and getting t know the land. Among other things, eomehow found out how to hum buifah a sport second to none if you know how I shall never forget the faces of the officers I met on the prairie once, u( mnny years ago. T4iey were after a hei of buffalo. So was 1. We exchange views. I gave them my ideas, they ga\ me their sympathy. Tou surely don expect to catch buffalo with that Goth: steed," said they. "I am going to try," I said. ' You'll never do it, mau alive," sai the Captain. "It wants a fast horse i overtake buffalo." "Does it?" I respond. "Yes, but you can come with us, you like." And I did like. There were eleve buffalos in the herd, and while the ofi cers rode straight at them, I headed tl: leaders and got up to them with eas The horse which my companion had bee chaffing was the famous Brigham, wl: knew as much about the sport as I di< tie speeuuy am ais pun 01 um uumh? A few jumps brought us up to the hen Raising "Lucrctia Borgia," my trusl weapon, I aimed at the first animal, fire and brought him down, Brigham, life the ideal animal that he wa>, carrying n rapidly up to the next brute, not t( feet away: and, when I had droppe him, bounded on to the next, and so 01 until I had slain the whole eleven au mals, and then my horse stopped. Idi mounted to regard my work with a fee ing of satisfaction. Those officers roe up shortly, and I shall never forget the expression as they surveyed the work < five minutes lying around. My horse Brigham was an exceptioi allv intelligent brute. He took the keei est delight in sport, aud invariably toe "pains to aid me in getting game. All 1 expected of me was to do the shootinj The ?est was his work. He would alwa; stop if the buffalo did not fall at the fir shot, so as to give me a second chanci but if I did not bring him down then 1 would go on disgusted. It was in 18G7 that the Kansas Pacif track was in the buffalo country, and tl company was employiug over 1,300 rm in the making of the road. The Indiai were very troublesome, aud it was n< always easy to get sufficient supplies i fresh meat for the men. It was aboi this time that Messrs. Goddard, the coi tractors to the constructors, made me handsome offer, provided I would unde take to hunt for them. They require twelve buffalos per diem. The wor was somewhat dangerous, owing 1 the Indians, but the terms wei handsome.?$500 per month. I too the offer, and in less than eightee months, during which time my engag ment lasted, I killed 4,280 buffalos sing handed, and had many scrimmages wil the Indians and hairbreadth escapes, was during this period of my career th; I hacl my celebrated buffalo-killing mate with Billy Comstock, the notecf scou then at Fort Wallace. The terms we settled as follows: We were to hunt 01 day of eight hours, from S a. m. to 4 r.i The stakes were $500 a side, and the nu who killed the most buffalo was to 1 declared the winner. The contest toe place twenty miles east from Sherida and many thousand people came from si parts to see the sport. We were fort nute on finding animals, and had p!en of sport. We made three runs each, ai: I killed sixty-nine buffalo, my rival beir content with forty-six. Not a bad day work, a day which is an historical oi for me, inasmuch as since then I have i variably been referred to in all parts i the civilized world as Buffalo Bill. Fashion in Sticks.

Properly speaking clouds never jc burst; they simply dissolve by condensation in rain; To produce condensation of vapor which we call rain this vapor must be suddenly cooled. This happens t0 when the temperature of the lower strata of the^atmosphere is greatly increased, and the rising currents of warm air force jj the vapor up into the cold regions. This is why very hot weather in temperate lat,n itudes is always followed by rain. Also, is when the clouds, carried on the surface , nf a warm hr/><?7p mept with ft cold wind e from the polar regions or when a strong " current of air carries the clouds against l0 the colder surface of a high mountain, j. and the contact with this surface cons' denses the vapor. Common phraseology in .j mountain regions describes these clouds as striking the mountain side andburst^ ing by the contact, as though they were ?e bladders tilled with water, whose sides suddenly gave way. The more correct ;n understanding of the phenomena showa 'jj that the ruin is simply the condensation Q of the vapor molecules, the proc ess being the same -whether it be carried on s slowly or rapidly. The effect of sudden,j ness is much increased in mountain regions jc by the overflow of springs and the injj creased velocity of streams as they flow qj through the rocky gorges of the hill.?
