FURT OF THE
MANTA.
E xciting Battle W ith a Giant D evil-
fieh In T rop ical W atara.
One o f the largest o f fishes— per­
haps the largest o f true fishes, since
the whale is a mammal— is the
Hianta or giant devilfish o f tropical
waters. A man who catches one o f
these monsters knows he has been
fishing, for he o ft^ ' stands in no
small peril o f his life before the
creature is landed. In the Wide
World Magazine a writer gives this
lively account of his experience with
an unusually large manta:
We were fishing from a gasoline
launch some tif M o miles down the
coast from Manzanillo, Mexico. I
was standing in the bows, ready to
harpoon a large fish that had bitten
and was being pulled to the surface.
Suddenly fish and line w&e snap­
ped away, and through the clear
water 1 saw a huge dark purple
mass scarcely a fathom below the
boat. Shouting to our Mexican en­
gineer to start the launch, I threw
the harpoon with all my strength.
It struck home, and instantly a
great disturbance took place. Some
monstrous creature rose to the sur­
face and dashed at the boat, strik­
ing out with what looked for all the
world like two great wings.
The strokes were terrific, and we
had the utmost difficulty in keeping
clear. Had one o f these “ wings”
touched the boat it would have been
. smashed like matchwood, and, as
the ¡»harks were watching the dis­
turbance, our fate would soon have
been decided.
Although the water all round us
was seething from the fury o f the
monster’s onslaught, we kept our
heads and did our best to disable
the creature. We embedded three
harpoons in it. We also fired three
revolver bullets into it, each o f
which produced volumes o f dark
exudus, and every time the madly
flapping wings came near enough
the man in the bows gave them a
lance thrust.
Gradually the manta’s struggles
grew less, and it began to yield to
the strain on the ropes. It was a
long battle, however, for every now
and then the great fish, seeming to
regain strength, would attack us
with renewed ferocity. Eventually,
after a final flurry that caused the
water to heave as if with an earth­
quake, it ceased its struggles and we
towed it ashore, escorted by shoals
o f sharks.
Tying the boat up at the wharf, I
got permission from the comman­
dant o f the port to land our prize.
Making it fast, we hoisted it on the
crane and ran it along to the rail­
way office, in front o f which we
photographed it. It measured eight­
een feet three and a half inches
from tip to tip of the wings and six­
teen feet one inch from head to
ta il.. Near the center it was over
nine feet thick.
We estimated its weight at five
tons. When we had photographed
the great fish we cast it off the end
of the wharf, and the sharks de­
molished the carcass in an incred­
ibly short time.
Public Speaking.
It is common to hear it said that
we have no orators in these days,
but nothing could be farther from
the truth. The art o f public speak­
ing was never better understood or
more widely practiced than now,
rays the Indianapolis Star. It is an
art that has changed somewhat
from the days o f Webster and Cal­
houn, of Clay and Phillips and Ev­
erett and their class. There are
fewer carefully prepared “ orations”
now with carefully balanced sen­
tences and many flowers o f speech.
Fewer men are known as great ora­
tors — “ spellbinders” as political
slang has it— but many more men
proportionately are able to address
their fellow citizens acceptably in
public than was formerly the case.
Shaving.
Shaving was practiced among the
Egyptians early in the eighteenth
century before Christ. The first
mention o f it in the Scriptures is in
Genesis, where Joseph made a hasty
toilet when called to go before the
king and “ shaved himself.” Nearly
a century after shaving the head is
mentioned. Ezekiel alludes to the
“ barber’s razor.” O f course every­
body knows that Delilah was the
first lady barber mentioned.—C h i ­
cago News.

An Easy Mat had af Caaxing tha Paat

A fly will invariably walk uphill,
almost never turning and going
back. On the contrary, he will
reach the top, fly off, light at the
bottom o f tha hill again and again
climb up, somewhat as Hindu phi­
losophy pictures us mortals cease­
lessly returning along the path o f
birth and death. Well, take advan­
tage o f hia upward tendency, his
passion for bright things, such as
mirrors, bald pates or window-
panes.
You have noticed that, in obedi­
ence to the passion for bright
things, every fly in the room period­
ically flies to the w in d o^ a n e.
Y ou have also noticed that, in obe­
dience to his tendency to walk up­
hill, he seta forth bravely and plods
to the top o f .the pane, only to fly
off again into space and to begin all
over again when be gets to the top.
Take him along the line o f his
weakness. Close the window at the
bottom, open it six inches or so at
the top ; then poll the shade down
so that it overlaps by another six
inches the upper edge o f the win­
dow. Presently a fly, impelled by
the reaction o f his nervous system
to the impact o f light upon his
many lensed eyes, will fly to the
window, roost a moment and then
begin to crawl up. He holds on with
a pair o f hooks in each foot, backed
by hairy pads which act as suckers,
and it is just this combination of
hooks and pads which makes him so
peculiarly exasperating when he
lights on one’s nose.
A fly, therefore, flies to the win-
dowpane and begins to walk np. In
due time he reaches the upper edge,
flies off into space, knocks against
the window blind, which is drawn
down slightly beyond the top o f the
window, turns round and flies offt
o f the window to the wide out o f
doors, a consummation, as Hamlet
says, devoutly to be wished. In an
hour or two you can clear a room
o f flies by this simple psychological
trick.— Harper’s Weekly.
