But iti several well authenti cated cas-s the abalone his deserved the title “ilangiTous." In 1873, on the eoast of Monterey county, a Chinamen disap peared from a large camp of abalone fishers. They were working on shares and great emulation existed, so it was thought that he had ventured too far and that the incoming sea liad swept him away. But in a few days his body was discovered bent over a crevice, his hand held fast by an abalone, and firmly secured in this position, unable to escape and too far from camp to make his cries heard, the poor fellow had seen the tide rise inch by inch till it drowned him. He hod lost the small flat bar of iron used for loosening large abalones from the rocks, an-1 seeing a very large speci men far down in the crevice had inad vertently placed himself at such a dis advantage that he could not exert suffi cient strength to withdraw his hand, nor to break the shell, nor even to force his hand further in so ns to destroy the firm clasp of the mollusk.

The abalone exists in its fullest per fection south of San Francisco bay, but it is found for many miles north of the JJolden Gate. It thrives along the coast of Baja, pr lower California, as far as Cape 9t. Lucas. There are two varie- ties, one with dark Cu . tho other with, reddish shells,both Icing alike pearly inside. When ground from the outside, so as to show the r 1 and black alternat ing with the tinted mother-of-pearl, the effect is very attractiv?. The abalone used to b ■ one of the most common of Pacific coast shells, but the Chinese discovered its edible qualities, and began to ship tons of dried abalones to China. The bnsinets soon became so profitable that colonies of Chinese dotted the coast from Santa Cruz southward, and thoaonods pf shells still lie on the cliffs to mark their e&mpg Onlv a few years ago any one who wished cvulj e.i ily Cad abalones so large t'.iat when Well pounded, sliced and fried three were nn abuodant meal for a hungry man, but most of them now are quite small, hundreds of shells not being larger than a wat a case.

DEL MO NICO Dainty Sailor Hats. DRYING , SQUID AT A CHINESE AT MONTEREY. FISHERY There is also a story told among some of the old families in San Luis Obispo to the effect that a young Mexican who went out on the rocks at low tide to pro cure a very large abalone shell to take over the Coast range to present to a young lady was caught in like manner, and waving his red scarf and shouting for help was dtagged loose by half a dozen men, who reached the place while the tide was rapidly rising above his waist. Even the ordinary sized abalones re quire a strong jerk to get them from the rock. It is probable that the largest abalone that ever grew could be taken off by any person if it was done quickly, but the slightest delay would bring one to grief unless he had a lever handy. The shell is so broad and flat that it can not be seized. The only way is to in sert the fingers or some instrument l>e- neath the edge, which is usually raised half on inch from the rock. The old American settlers near the sea coast have learned to value the aba lone highly as furnishing an epicurean feast when properly broiled and served piping hot. But few modern cooks know how to prepare abalone, and the tooth some morsel is fast becoming a tradition. So indefatigable in its pursuit are the Chinese that in a decade or two more this curious and delicious mollusk will probably be almost extinct. C harles H oward S hinn . The ilecliuc of the Whaling Industry. New Bedford, Moss., was at one time the greatest whaling port in the world. With the decline of the whaling indus try, however, mills were erected, and now the town has become a manufactur ing rather than a seaport town. A dozen abandoned whalers lying at the docks tell of long past days. It is a strange fact that the timbers of a whaling vessel seldom decay. They become so perme ated with oil that they are capable of re sisting time's ravages for a long time. But their peculiar shape renders theta useless for other traffic. What whaling is now done is mostly in the hands of the Portuguese. The Wealth of Honduras. RESTAURANT. WM. ÌÒ JYÜ JLDÆS’ M1CR0K le I1 an: bi.i-n. VEH. mim UM I Mi x bI XTWÏEB SIX), O’GrJST.

Embalming with the aid of a skilled physi A few dry* ago an interesting cata comb was discovered at Kerlch, in tlw neighborhood o» th« Tahtar quarter. The catacomb in question lies about fif teen feet un ler the surface and is divid ed into three compartments. It is deco rated with frescoes representing Hermes surrounded by winged genii and also with scenes taken from domestic life. The most interesting discovery of all was an inscription, part of which forc ibly reminds the reader of the one over Shakesi*-are's ashes. It runs, “Sorak, who never threw away the bone of the poor, lias raised for himself this sanctu ary, and adjures all people that his bones wire not robbed and defiled.” This adjurr.tiou to posterity has beeu without effect, for the catacomb was al ready found to have been plundered.— Exchange.
