Moonlight Swim In the Tropics. '
"One evening," said the man of
commerce, "after I had been In Ja
maica, having a week of the Joys of
swimming this stream, I proposed to
a couple of my friends that we break
the monotony by taking a dip In the
water by moonlight One of them con
sented, and we were soon disporting
ourselves in the clear moonlit water. I

around us, and once, when I looked
over at my companion, who was swim
ming abreast of me probably a hun
dred feet away, he seemed to be ab
solutely immersed In sparkling flame.
But that same moment I became aware
of a third area of swiftly moving phos
phorescence between us ; and the next
instant I realized that It was made
by a big shark, a good three feet
longer than I am.
Shark Was Carney.
"I splashed hard, but the shark,
contrary to the habits of his kind,
did not turn tall. He kept right on,
and then my companion saw him and
became nervous. He began to swim
unevenly, and I knew at once that he
might not keep his head if the big
fish should really try to annoy him.
So I struck straight across at right
angles.
"Just as I got half way over, the
shark put on speed and forged head
down on me. For a moment, as I
saw that green, submarine streak of
fire, with the ' glistening dorsal fin
sticking up higher than my head, com
ing straight for me like a shot, I was
nearly pnnlc stricken myself. But I
turned directly at him pounding and
lashing the sea with hands and feet
and blowing the water to make a bel
lowing noise. The man-eater sank be
neath the surface, and I could see his
faintly illuminated outline going down,
down, slowly, till It glimmered fath
oms deep. Then I got my hand under
my companion's armpit and helped
him along."
"I guess you dont ever want a moon

light swim here again after that, ehr
said one of his hearers.
"Oh, w were kind of scared, all
right," was the reply, "but It wasn't
that bad. Only I will confess that we
sat around for nearly an hour getting
our nerves straightened out before we
swam back.'
CREAT CULEBRA CUT,
Biggest Piece of Digging Ever Under
tsaenA Hug Mexican Drainage
Cut.
The huge excavations for the Pana
ma Canal across the Culebra divide
will be by far the greatest furrow In
the, earth's surface ever made by
human agency. This statement Is made
by the Engineering News, In a com-
prenensive discussion of the great
excavation projects of the world. The
nig Panama cut is so large that the
mind falls to grasp its real magnitude,
and It can only be appreciated by
comparison with some familiar object
A question of considerable Interest re
cently raised by a corresnondent re
lates to the largest existing artificial
excavation wnich is at all comparable
with the Culebra cut Great amounts
of excavation were done, of course.
on such works as the North Sea Canal,
the Manchester Canal and the Su
Canal; but all these were built through
comparatively level country.
So far as it has been able to dis
cover, the only deep cut at all com
parable with that to be made through
the Cuelbra divide la the great Noch:
stongo cut through the hills which
surround the Valley of Mexico. Thla
huge excavation was begun in 1610,
for the purpose of affording an outlet
to the flood waters which had inun
dated the City of Mexico and destroyed
a great part of the city and its In
habitants. For more than a hundred
and forty years labor on this great
work was the chief task of the Mex
ican nation, and It was not until the
year 1789 that it was finally completed.
The total length of the Nochlstongo
cut is twelve and one-half miles. Its
rreatest depth is 197 fe:t, and Its great
est width is 3C1 feet The total amount
of material excavated was about 54,
000,000 cubic yards. In comparison
with this the cut at Culebra will have
considerably greater maximum
depth and width, even for the project
with the elghty-flve-foot summit level
The total cube of excavation at the
Cslebra divide was estimated by En
gineer Wallace as 186,000,000 cubic
yards for the sea-level canal and 111,-
000,000 cubic yards for a canal with
a sixty-foot summit level
While In mere size of excavation
the cut through the Panama divide is
by far the larger, the fact that the
Nochlstongo cut was made with abso
lutely no aid from machinery or me
chanical power, but wholly with hu
man muscle, makes our task on the
Isthmus seem like mere child's play
In comparison with that accomplished
by those patient tollers under the tor
rid sun of Mexico two centuries aco.
When one recalls that this deep, artl-
nciai valley, more than twelve miles
long, waa all dug by the labor of In
dians, who excavated the material
with the crudest hand tools and car
ried it in baskets on their heads to the
place of final deposit, the great cut of
Nochlstongo Is entitled to rank, with
the Pyramids of Egypt, among the
world's greatest wonders.
What Governs Price of Does.
The price paid for a dog seems to be
governed not so much by the value of
tne animal as the sentiment of the pur
chaser in the vast majority of cases,
and, as a rule, the sporting dog bringt
the lowest figure. Doubtless this is
due to the fact that the man who wants
a gun dog is a practical person, while
the seeker after the "show dog" pays
tor running the "show." It is granted
right here that many a good gun dog
also shows well, hut the highest prices
go for the show animal, pure and sim
ple. At a recent sale of pointers and set
ters at Birmingham, England, one of
tne most Important sales In years, the
entire lot two Boore or more sold for
$3,025. The highest price paid was
$325, for the famous female pointer.
Coronation (four and a half years) the
winner of many championships; while
among the setters the choice was
Ightfield Bang (four and a half years),
a great field trial winner, who brought
only $185. American purchasers
would have thought these dogs cheap
at $1,000 apiece,
In contrast with these prices, the
bull. terrier Woodcote Wonder sold in
New Haven for $5,000 to a San Fran
cisco purchaser. Richard Croker. Jr.,
paid $3,000 for his Champion Rodney
Stone, and Frank Gould paid as nigh
as $5,000 for a St Bernard. These are
real prices unlike many of the
amounts running up Into the thousands

And when we say satisfactory we meat satisfactory not an illntnlnant that merely

IT ACTUALLY PAYS FOR ITSELF
The ordinary lamp with the round wick, generally considered the cheapest of all
llKhting mcth- ds, burns but about 6 hours on a quart of oil, while The Angle Lamp
burns a full!6 hours on the same quantity. This, even where oil is cheap, soon amounts to
more thnn its entire original cost. But In another way it saves as much perhaps more.
Ordinary lamps must always be turned at full height, although c an average of two
hours a nii;nt all thnt is really needed is a dim light ready to be turned up full when
wanted. Agilion of ell a week absolutely wasted, simply because your lamps cannot be
turned low without unbearable odor. A 11 this is saved In The Angle Lamp, for whether
burned at full bright or turned low, it gives not the slightest trai of odor or smoke.

it an actual necessity. Write for our catalogue 15" fully explaining this new principle
