SHARK STORIES.
Man-Eaters in Whose tftomachs
Watches are Found.
j
"One peculiarity of the shark,"
said Capt. Gilderdale recently, "is
that he never will swallow a negro.
.White men and most anything else
he readily devours, but a colored
man never. There's an old tradition
among seamen about man-eating
sharks. When one has been killed
the sailors look in his belly for gold
wntrhes and other valuables. You
see; the shark swallows anything
which comes in his way, and we
used to lind all sorts of things in his
maw. Once on board a steamer the
crew had been killing beef, and
threw overboard a hide and horns.
Not long after the' caught a shark,
and sure enough they found that he
had tried to swallow the refuse. lie
got the hide part way down, but
couldn't get away with the horns.
There was a scientific man on board,
and he thought ho had discovered a
new species of shark with horns.
"I remember once when I was
mate on a shin from Calcutta. We
jworo becalmed, and I saw a shark
.snoozing around the ship, so I slung
over a line and hook with three or
four Munds of pork on it. The beast
didn't appear to be hungry and
wouldn't bite, so I gave it up and
went below. While I was down in
my room the Captain sent word from
the poop deck that the shark was
close by the hook which I had left
overboard. I picked up my rifle and
went on deck. The fish was over
twelve feet long, and was making for
the hook, when I fired right into his
mouth. He gave a flop over on his
side and never moved a muscle. We
lowered a boat, threw a painter
around him, and hauled him in. The
boys cut him open, and instead of
the gold watches, they found a lot of
young sharks the big one was a she
shark, you see and I ordered the
youngsters to bo counted and thrown
into a barrel. Well, sir, that barrel
was chuck full of man-eaters about
ten inches long, and there were just
seventy-one in all! That's a fact,
and I can show you in ray log book
the exact latitude and longitude
where we killed the old one. The
boys fried 'em and eat 'em, and
found 'em pretty good, too. I saved
out one, anil put him in alcohol, and
gave him to the Gentlemen Anglers'
Society." New Haven News.
The March of the White Man.
Among the little noticed but most
important facts in the history of the
world is the enormous recent in
crease in the number of white men
in it. It is barely two centuries
(1GS3) since those races, though even
then the most energetic of mankind,
formed "but a small fraction in the
total of humanity probably ton per
cent of the whole and were by no
means certain that they could defend
themselves against the remainder.
The white races in and out of Europe,
under the influence of some still
mysterious call upon their energies,
have multiplied nearly threefold, and
are to-day, as Mr. R. Giffen has
shown in his recent address to the
statistical society, 420,000,000. As
there is no evidence of any corres
ponding increase in the dark races,
and as, indeed, such increase has
been, outside India, nearly impossi
ble, the white men are now, by thebest
calculations, one-third of the entire
population of the world, instead of
being, as they were only two centu
ries ago, a little more than ten per
cent. They have, moreover, if any
thing, increased in plrysical strength,
and have so developed in brain and
consequent power of organization,
that it may be doubted if the whole
remainder of mankind, even if all
were reduced to equal weapons, could
seriously injure the white third,
which again, if it chose to act to
gether and employ without pity the
weapons its intelligence has enabled
it to construct, could in a few years
reduce the remainder of the world to
an uninhabited desert. They have
lately taken to conquering Africa,
and are entering it at a hundred
points at once; seizing, almost
silently, certainly without serious
effort, huge slices'like French Africa,
South Africa, Madagascar, the vast
valley of the Ni:er, and the still
more extensive region drained by the
system of rivers called the Congo.
Nor is there much reason to believe
that the process will soon be checked,
for the white men are urged forward
by an irresistible spur over which
they have no control. The increase
of the yellow race, which must once
have been so incredibly fast, has stop
ped, and thatof the dark races of India
which for a century has been amaz
ing, is being checked bv recurrent
famines; but that of the "white peo
ple goes on so fast that the transport
of a hugelarray every year across the
Atlantic makes no impression on
their numbers, and at their present
rate of increase they will in 1894 be
a thousand millions, or much more
than half of then existing mankind.
London Spectator.
The Preacher Who Logt the Race.
A clergyman and a professional
gambler had a bicycleracein Arizona.
The pastor's congregation brought a
charge of unseemly conduct against
him, and he has" indignantly re
signed. He says that it is folly to
erect too high a standard of dignity in
a border community ; and, moreover,
he doesn't believe that the brethren
would have complained but for the
unfortunate Tact that he lost the race.
lloxv Clay Was Taken Aback.
The Lexington, Ky., correspondent
of the Philadelphia" Times tells this
characteristic story of Henry Clay:
".Major Throckmorton came of a
nood familv. His father was at one

a hotel here in Lexington. The old
gentleman was a great admirer of
Henry Clay, and the Great Commoner
had a sincere regard for Throckmor
ton. The latter used to tell a story
about Clay that will hear repeating.
When the Senator used to come home
from Washington he would leave the
river at Maysville, and make the
journey to Lexington by stage.
"On" this particular occasion
Throckmorton was on tlie levee to
receive his distinguished friend, and
had a carriage i waiting. The pro
ceeded to the old Hill House first and
had dinuer. Then Mr. Clay ex
pressed a desire to personally inspect
some land in which he was interested
that lay in the adjoining county of
Lewis, 'about fifteen miles distant
from Maysville. The enrriace was
called, and Mr. Clay and Mr. Throck
morton were driven away. They
had some difficulty in hunting up the
land, and darkness overtook them.
A high wind arose and the rain be
gan to fall. They stopped in front of
the first cabin, "a rude habitation,
and Throckmorton asked if they
could be sheltered for the night.
" 'Sartin, gentlemen,' answered
the woman of the house, a typical
Amazon. 'Light off, I'll send one uv
thor hoys to fodder yer boss.'
"The great Senator and his friend
alighted and entered the cabin. Mr.
Clay removed his hat, and, bowing
in that courtly manner for .'hich he
was distinguished, greeted the woman
in deep, sonorous tones. She was
busy over the fire, but turned, bowed,
and, ej'eing the Senator sharply,
said':
"'What might your name be,
stranger?'
"'Clay, madam,' answered the
Senator," with another statelv bow.
'Henry Clay.'
"Clay?' repeated the woman, still
eyeing liini; 'Clay? Be you any kin
to Bill Clay, up "the creek, who was
sent to the penitentiary last year for
hoss-stealin' ?'
"For a moment Mr. Clay was
speechless, and then turning to
Throckmorton, he. drew himself up
to his full height, and, smiting his
chest with hisclenched hand, cried :
'"Mv God, Throckmorton, this is
fame!'""
Ills Sight Wa-s Failing.
He had been to a high-priced
oculist about two dozen times to have
his eyes operated on, and at Ins last
visit the oculist remarked confi
dently :
"You're getting along linelv, sir,
and you'll be all light in "a fow
weeks."
"I hope so, doctor, but L can't see
now, as well as I could at first."
"Oh, yes you can. There's a
marked improvement."
"But, doctor, I know letter."
"You onlv think so."
"Oh, no, I know."
"How do you know?"
"Why, doctor, when L first came,
T could see quite a snug little sum to
my credit in the bank, and I'll be
hanged if I can see a dollar there
now."
The doctor ceased his argument.

A short, square car carefully wrap
ped in white canvas was " drawn
rapidly down the Ninth Avenue
Elevated road one afternoon recentlv
to the- Fourteenth Street Station,
where it was run off on a side track.
On the sides of the canvas was
painted : "The Daft Electric Motor."
It weighs nine and a quarter tons,
and was made in Greenville, N. J.
The machinery in it consists mainly
of a dynamo which is to receive the
electric current coming from the
generator in Eighteenth Street, near
Ninth Avenue. This currentrevolves
the armature on the cab dynamo,
producing the power by which the
wheels are moved backward or for
ward at the wilf of the operator.
The purpose is lo attach these motors,
if successful, to the trains-in place
of the locomotives. Thei will draw
half a dozen cars, it is claimed by
the inventor, as easily a a lo- o
