I made a remark to my fellow-ship mates then, that 1 thought oar fate had changed, for it was something very unusual for men to get a hol iday, or even time to ent their meals iu those daye, on board our glorious American ships, but every one seemed to be very much dis couraged and down-hearted over the loss o f so many of our crew in such a short time. There was very little conversation going on, the most of the sailors apparently med itating on tho past. Hut about 10 o’clock the man ut the wheel reported a boat about one mile astern o f us. In an instaut everyone was on tbe rai’s gazing at the object. Some pronounced it to be a whale, others a sea-serpent, and a boat and so on,’ but in a few minutes the question was settled beyond a doubt, for about this time the mate got the spy-glass to bear on it and he pronounced it to be an enormous balloon shark. These are very large sharks and are rarely seen north of the 60$h degree of sonth latitude. T h e j most gener ally inhabit the antarctic circle, and they get their name from the enor mous fin or balloon they have on their back, as they rarely swim anywhere bat on top of the water. They use th’is ballcpn for au air chamber, and also for a store-room for food, when they are fortunate enough to capture more than they want for present use;,and they are b I bo very fast swimihers. Conse quently this one was not loug in overtaking us. H e approached the ship od tbe starboard side, stopped and took a good look, evidently considering whether be wns able to take her in or not. Bat in a few minutes he passed ou, crossed our bow and came back on the opposite side and passed across our stern, when some o f the boys suggested that we set a running bowline for him and try nnd capture him. The wind had calmed down and the ship lay perfectly motionless at this time. The suggestion was no sooner made when everybody was ready to lend a hand to capture his uibs, so we got out a coil o f new 4J inch rope, adjusted a noose on one eud of it rnd so* ” lo.-diips, with a nice .sinir’ i.g pis-e •? pork ahead o f it V. . I, . 1 ot L»tv to wait before ‘ ■ i hs came op -. ithin about twenty feet of the pork, stoppe - ud look i g<xM look at it for about 1 of a minute and then appioacued it slowly. Seeing that be was going to get tbe pork without going through the bowline, I moved it on the opposite side. H is nibs seeing it move made a rush through the bowline to get it, aod quicker thnn it takes to tell it the rope was drawn tight around his tail nnd we had him made fast, with about tweuty feet o f slack rope. W e let him flounce arouud for about half an hour, until he became a little tired, and then we rigged up a lot o f extra purchase and after about three home hard work we landed him on deck right side up with care. Now, the next job was to cut his throat, which was quickly done, and after be had bled about 400 gallons, more or less, we became convinced that he was dead and started at work to dissect the monster, when, on opening the balloon, we beheld, to our great astonishment, the car penter aud his boy with the grind- stoue rigged np and at work grind ing an ax to cat their way out. So after the carpenter and his devil were tesened from their perilous fute, and the 6care had passed off, we all approached the monster and upon more closely investigating tbe balloon we found onr dead ship mate, minus an ax and a grind stone; also fourseals, two mermaids and some lumber. Now, after finding all these things we thought it best to explore the lower hold of this antarctic mon ster, and by so doing we found twenty-three seals, seven mermaids, one sealion and a polar bear. Now all the animals in the lower hold o f this monster were dead and some o f them partly digested, but the two merroAids and four seals that wore in the balloon were ulive, and not having any use for th6m, we put them overboard. When the mermaids were leaving, they requested us to give their sis ters a respectable burial, which re quest was granted and later fully carried out. W e then turned onr attention to the rebnrial o f onr dead shipmate. That being completed, we cleared the decks and mAde ready to bury the mermaids next morning at 10 o’clock, and also resolved to fly the American flog at halt-mast for seven days, ia honor o f tbe occa sion, it being the first mermaid fuuc ral that had been conducted on board o f ar.

There was never a time in tho his tory of our country when the de maud for inventions aud improve ments iu the nrts nnd sciences gen erally was so great as now. The conveniences o f mankind in the fac tory and workshop, the household, on the farm, and in official life, require continual accessions to the appurtenances and implements of each in order to save labor, time and expense. The political change in the administration of government does not affect the progress of the American inventor, who being on the alert and ready to perceive the existing deficiencies, does not permit the affairs of the government to deter him from quickly conceiving the remedy to overcome existing discrep ancies. Too great care cannot be exercised iu choosing a competent and skillful attorney to prepare and prosecute an application for patent. Valuable interests have been lost and destroyed in innumerable instance« by the employment of incompetent counsel, aud especially is this advice applicable to those who adopt the “ No patent, no pay” system. Inven tors who entrust their business to this class of attorneys do so at im minent risk, ab the breadth and strength of the patent is never con sidered in view of a quick endeavor to get an allowance and obtain the fee then due.
