After the instituting ceremonies ap

and the proceedings closed with a ban
quet by the ladies of the new chapter,
that was fully appreciated by all, and
the town clock struck 1 as the guests de
parted from the hall. The chapter

with a membership of 31. Their regu

A Miraculous Escape.
Donata Marencha fired three shots at
Tona Fontiana, a bootblack in Portland
in the latter's shop Wednesday evening,
wounding him twice in the right arm
and one bullet penetrating his left breast
and lodging under the shoulder blade.
Fontiana's wounds are not considered
dangerous. Marencha then fired two
shots into his own abdomen, and will
die. The Oregonian prints the picture
of Fontiana, and if it is true or half true
to nature, the result of the shooting is
inexplainable. Nothing short of a
miracle could have prevented at least
one of the bullets hitting that nose.
Chinese Warships Bunk.
The locals are somewhat scarce today
and for this reason, we make mention
of the fact that the substance of this
local is not a matter that occurred with
in the city limits. The Chinese fleet at
Wei-Hai-Wei is wiped out its two larg
est vessels beine sunk by the fire from
the Japanese warships Wednesday.
The Chinese made a gallant fight for it
but were out generelled and out classed.
It is only & question of a few. days until
the forts are in possession of the Japs,
and then China must make such terms
as she can, tor Japan will have her at
her mercy.

That Are the Dread of the Call-
fornia. Fishermen. ,
The true man-eater shark as taken
on the Pacific coast is known only as a
man-eater. The shovel-nosed sharks
are sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even a yellow dog. The thirty-four
foot shark, captured by some fisher
men, of the true man-eater variety
(carcharodon careharias), seemed brave
enough and savage enough to attack
anything within its reach. This mon
ster's month was wide, the teeth long
and sharp, with an inward incline.
The stomach would hold a full-grown
man-- easily and a good deal besides.
The fish became entangled in a net off
Point Lama. Two boats attacked the
vicious creature and finally succeeded
in punching- an iron into its vitals. The
side of one boat was stove in by a blow
forcible enough to knock one fisherman
overboard.
These sharks, says the New York
Tribune, have been known to attack a
small boat, upset it and eat the oars
man. A man-eater over forty-two feet
long has been reported below ban
Diego. The natives are said to live in
fear of this awful fish, which already has
the record of having eaten six men. It
has been shot frequently. The water
about it has been discolored with blood.
Yet the shark still lives. The tiger
shark is as ferocious as the man-eater.
Another large shark hereabouts is the
basking shark. ' It is taken measuring
fifteen to forty feet in length. The
skin of one thirty-two feet long is at
Stanford University museum. It was
captured last March. This skin alone
weighs over fifteen hundred pounds,
while the shark's liver produced one
hundred and eighty gallons of oil.
These sharks, however, are sluggish
lazv and do not bite people. Their
gill-rakers are on the whale model.
When entangled in a net they fre
quently suffocate, as the net restricts
the gills.
California fishermen do not consider
five-foot sharks of much account when
from San Diego wharves black sea bass
are caught six to eight feet long,
weighing three hundred to five
hundred pounds Such fish are
common. They are taken on shark
hooks and clotheslines. When hooked
the fish is allowed to swim about the
bay towing a two-inch plank. When
he is exhausted the line is hauled in
and the fish killed with an ax.

It Explains Phenomena in a Way Peculiar
ly Its Own.
Education in Corea is of the Chinese
orders the committal of whole books
to memory. On all other subjects than
knowledge of Chinese, says the Boston
Transcript, ignorance is the fashion
when it is not a reality. Philosophical
speculation is stated to be common, but
Corean notions of natural science are
indeed, very chaotic, if the following
story may be accepted: "A well-known
merchant of Chemulpo was asked by
one of his native employes a man of
some education whether or not he
had ever seen a sparrow which had
died a natural death. The person
questioned did not remember that he
had. He was then asked how the for
eign servants accounted for such a
phenomenon, for such it was, consid
eriug the vast number of sparrows in
the world and the huge families they
raise every year. The answer to
this query being unsatisfactory, the
Corean gave his explanation, which
was a popular one. He said that dying
sparrows betook themselves to the sea
shore, dived into the mud and became
clams 'How else', he triumphantly
added, 'could you account for the num
ber of clams along the coast?'
