Rare Book
There are estimated to be only
about 45 Gutenberg Bibles in the
world and in 1884 one sold for
$15,000. At that time, many of
the books were privately owned.
Today, with most of the Bibles
permanently retired to museums
and thus off the market, the price
should be higher.
The Gutenberg Bible is valuable
not for its scarcity alone. It is a
curiosity because authorities
aren’t even sure Johann Guten
berg printed it. In fact, some ex
perts claim the Fifteenth century
German wasn’t a printer at all!—

“Worse Than Drowning*
By FLOYD GIBBONS
Famoos Headline Hunter
H ello, everybody:
Charles Quinones of Bronx, N. Y., sends in a yarn
that sets a new high for horror. Charley Quinones had a
mighty queer adventure. It was one that gave him a choice
between two deaths. One of them was drowning—and that’s
no fun. But horrible as drowning was, it wasn’t half as bad
as that other horror—the one that was waiting for him up
above.
Charley is a Porto Rican who has come to the States to finish his edu
cation. It’s a tale about his native land that he’s going to tell us today.
A good many years ago—on April 9, 1927, to be exact—Charley and a
bunch of other lads about his own age, started out to do some dynamite
fishing.
They all lived in the town of Jajardo, on the northeast tip of
Porto Rico, and the sea was not far away. They chose a spot called
El Faro because of a lighthouse that stood on the hill above ft. El
Faro was on the shores of a tidewater lagoon where the fish, at
high tide, were large and numerous. Charley and his friends
took along food, a pan to fry fish in—and several sticks of dyna
mite to catch the fish.
Fishing With Dynamite.
The tide came through the lagoon at El Faro at a pretty rapid clip.
It was at the time when that tide was just turning that dynamite fishing
was best, for if they waited while the tide ebbed, the fish would go out
with it They attached fuses to their dynamite and one of the boys threw
it into the water. There was a momentary hush, followed by an explo
sion. The water heaved and trembled. A great wave shot up from
below the surface, and with it came fish—hundreds of them—of all sizes,
species and colors.
They bad to act quickly after that. If they didn’t get those
fish immediately the swift-moving tide would carry them away.
Half a dozen of them dived into the water and began gathering
up the ones on the surface.
Charley Quinones followed them—but instead of going after the fish
on the surface he took a long, deep dive toward the bottom of the lagoon.
Between the Devil and the Deep.
The little fish came to the top after an explosion, but the bigger ones sank
to the bottom—and it was the big ones that Charley was after.
Charley’had made a good dive, but there was no time to lose. The
current was even swifter down near the bottom than it had been on the
surface. He saw a big fish—and another—and half a dozen more. *T
tried to take two,” he says, ‘‘but they were too slippery. I took the
largest one within reach and turned my head toward the surface. But at
that moment I saw something that made me change my mind.”
It was a ghastly sight that Charley saw np there above him.
Up near the surface, directly over his head, he saw something
white swimming back and forth. A second look told him what it
was—and his whole body began fairly crawling with horror.
That white thing np there was s SHARK! .
Huge Shark Was Terrifying.
Says Charley: “The sight of it almost made me faint, and there
aren’t enough words in any language to describe how terrified I felt.
The monster was swimming closo to the surface and he seemed to bo
eating the dead fish that our explosion had brought up to the top of the
lagoon. He was huge—one of the biggest sharks I had ever seen, and
from where I was I could see his great mouth with its rows of horrible
sharp teeth.”
Charley saw and thought all those things in a fraction of a second.
He knew he couldn’t swim upward. That shark would have eaten him
alive in less than a minute. But r he couldn’t stay down there under the
water long, either. He had to have air. Already his lungs were be
ginning to ache from the strain of holding his breath—already his head
was spinning around giddily for want of oxygen in his lungs.
Never in his life had Charley been in a worse spot “What I suffered
in those moments of cruel apprehension,” he says, “seems incredible
now. I never thought the human body and the human mind were capable
of standing so much torture. My ears were ringing madly. My
lungs felt as though they were about to burst My heart was beating
violently. I wanted to cry, but I couldn’t
“The water down there at the bottom was dark and gloomy.
Up on the surface, a dim fignre, now, in my blurring eyes, the
monster still hovered. It seemed that he was waiting patiently
for me to come np. Many times I had heard the expression,
‘Between the Devil and the Deep,’ and there I was in literally that
same predicament.
Desperate Push to the Surface.
“And what made matters worse was the fact that no one could help
me out of it. I was alone—more alone than anyone has ever been be
fore, I believe. I couldn’t hold my breath any longer, and I took a last
desperate chance. Pushing madly with my feet, swimming with all the
strength that was left in me, I shot toward the surface. It was hardly
possible that I could get out of the water before the shark got me. But I
had no other choice.
“Up I went Then, suddenly I heard a splash—felt a violent blow
from a huge body—and lost consciousness.’’
When Charley came to he was lying on the beach, his friends all
grouped around him. They had seen the shark swimming around on the
surface, and they knew Charley was at the bottom. They thought sure
Charley was a goner, but they did what they could. One of the boys got
a huge piece of driftwood from the beach, floated it out on the water and
struck at the shark—just as Charley was coming to the surface. The
shark turned to swim away, and in doing so had run smack into Charley
—and nobody has figured out yet who was the most frightened by that
collision—the shark or Charley.
The other young fellows had dragged Charley, half drowned, to the
beach, and Charley says that’s the last time he’s been swimming in
anything bigger than a bathtub.

International Boundary Markings
The land part of the international
boundary between the United States
and Canada, which is about 1,749
miles in length, is marked variously
with monuments of iron, aluminum-
bronze set on concrete, stone cairns
and concrete, placed at points rang
ing from two and a half to four miles
apart A vista has been cut through
the trees where the line runs over
wooded areas. The water part of
the boundary is defined by courses
and distances between turning
points that are referred to as light
houses or markers of metal or con
crete on the shores of lakes and
banks of streams.
Softening Water
The water is so hard in some
parts of the country that softening
forms a part of the purification
processes. Often, the saving in de
preciation of water pipes and in the
purchase of soap counter-balances
the cost of softening. Usually lime
water is mixed with the water in a
settling basin and after 12 or 14
hours subsidence, the water is
drawn off from the precipitated
salts. When the hardness is the re
sult of sulphates of lime or magne
sia, which cause the water to be
“permanently” bard, sodium car
bonate, or washing soda is used It
soften the water.
