A LIVED OLD SHARK
■HE ’.’ADE RAPID TIME FROM MONTE
VIDEO TO PERNAMBUCO.

ed a Souvenir of the Event.
“The speed attained by son th Atlan
tic sharks in their efforts to arrive at j
desired points within the least possible i
space of time,” eaid No. 18, who used
to be in the navy and is now a clerk in
the navy department, addressing the
last meeting of the Washington Liars’
club, “has long been a subject of scien
tific investigation. I don't know the.
exact number of knots they have been
f' 'ind to make within the space of an
ordinary four hour watch, but if a
renth Atlantic shark can’t beatan alba- I
tross when it comes to speed I’ll eat my
bag and hammock and ditty lx>x.
“Now there are some sharks'down in
ty of rm mto prowl. They’ve got the
’-mi > r-.ture of water that suits them
best figured out to a nicety, and thef
kn iw tli.it i,n the i f 1,, 1- -.ide of the .-qua
ami water cf the same degree of tern- i
j.eruttire, as that in which they’re fool- |
it / . mi when th. y get t . thinking
on this subject.
“Y • 11, what do they do when they
get to worrying over the cramped space
in which they find themselves on one
tide of the line or the other? Why,
they just make a dash across the line.
That s all. They know that the equa
t rial line is a trocha of water that’s a
heap too bet for their constitutions and
that they can’t stand monkeying around
in the water on that line too long, and
so they just hop over it, licketty cut, so
fast that yon can’t see their fins for
dust.
“I remember once, when I was on
the old Ticonderoga, a thing happened
that gave us a line on the speed of
sharks when they take it into their
heads to get speedy. We got into the
port of Montevideo one morning at 10
o’clock. It was on a Monday, April 12.
Montevideo harbor is full cf sharks, and
the men forward got to fishing over the
side f‘ <r them in order to get their spines
to make walking sticks of them. One
huge man eater was landed after great
difficulty with the combined strength of
the whole watch on deck, and he had to
’be clubbed with belaying pins and cap
stan bars for an hour before hegav- up
and cashed in.
‘W> 11. we int him •n, and, i.r
men, what do you suppose we found |
inside of him '.' Why, as fine a gold
watch and ehatn as y. i ever saw wi
naiy minute and !
»< c<>nd hand watch, b’ut 'one
* hi
the week, the phases of the moon and
the whole thing. Well, sirs, yon can
imagine our astonishment when we
snapped the case of this watch open
and found that it bad stopped at exact
ly 4 p. m.. April 11, the day before we
got into Montevideo.
“The skipper of our ship reported
this fact to the townspeople of Monte
vid- j wh< n be went ashore, feeling con
fident that some prominent citizen of
.• t wn had inadvertently permitted
himself to be made a meal of by an
* pi 'iroiu -‘.ark. He natural] v coni Iml
■ 1 that th<- victim must have been a
p: ininent citizen to pack such a swell
tim-pi.'- around with him. Nobody
wa missing < -.it of the population cf
M \ al---. and the thing Dolmd al
mi.'hn mysterious
■' W . w. i ■ .iib- iin t harl- r f
p.iir* 1 in that time the shark and'
watch ident was practically forgot
ten We were just upon the point of
pulling out for northern waters when
rhe British ship Cardiff, from Pernam
-inco, Brazil, put into Montevideo. The
I Cardiff's mate was in command, and
he had a queer story to tell of how the
command had fallen to him. It seems
■ that ' ir April 11 the skipper, returning
to the ship from Pernambuco in his
I I ng boat, had slipped in stepping on-
■ to tl;e fl at leading to the ship’s gang-
I way and fallen into the water. Before
the Is :it’s crew had a chance to pull
him back into the stern sheets there
| was a swish and the skippt r was being
packed off in the jaws of a gigantic
shark.
“Yon’ll remember that this happened
on the afternoon of April 11. Well,
there wouldn’t have been anything re
markable about this if the mate in com
mand < f the Cardiff hadn't happened to
mention that the skipper had a valu
able watch on his person when the
shark got him. Our commanding officer
in ard about this, and he looked up the
mate and asked him what kind of a
watch it was. The mate exactly de
scribed the watch that we had taken
out of the shark's stomach in Monte
video on the morning of April 12, and
when our skipper showed it to him he
instantly identified it.
“Now, all that anybody who doubts
this has got to do in order to find out
how many thousand miles Pernambuco
is from Montevideo is to measure the
scale on the atlas of South America,
That shark only hit the high places in
jumping from Pernambuco to Monte
video, and if tbere’sany doubter of this
narration here present, why. here s the
shark's spine,” and No. I s -f the Liars
club held up a 25 cent mala va stick.

} ROMAN WEALTH AND WASTE
Pearl* Dimiolved In Wine and a He- ,
lay «»f Dinner* For Murk Intony,
E. H House, writing on “Bright
j Sides of History” in St. Nicholas, tells
. this story of ancient extravagance:
"Th- p-arl which Cleopatra drank
to Antony’s health was valued at nearly
$400,001), so at one mouthful she dis
posed of at much as the cost of Cali
gala’s supper. I suppose that was the
most valuable pearl we have any knowl
; edge of. Though Julius Ca-sar owned
I one worth $250,000, which he gave to
I the mother of Brutus—the same Brutus
i who afterward helped to kill Catsar.
Pearls seem to have held out particu
lar temptations to pc-ple who took
pleasure in wasteful follies, perhaps be
cause no other ji wul < ..aid be so easily
swallowed.
“Cleopatra’s j rank was not the first
of its kind. The same absurdity had
been committed by a silly fe.Jlow in
I Rome named srEsop—not your favorite
fable tiller, for ho lived centuries
earlier, and was a v-ry wise man. The
Roman zEsop was n 1( . It ~f a r j c h act
or, and, just to male himself talked
about, he took a pearl from the eardrop
of Cn-eilia, the wife of the tyrant SyJla,
and, according to writers of that age,
drank it in vinegar. 1 believe that the
possibility of dissolving this kind of
n
thorities, but the ancients appear to
have had no doubt on the .subject, for
i the instances recorded by them were
I numerous and were attested by men of
scientific standing. A Japanese natural
ist, who has studied pearls minutely,
states that he has found them of such
various quality and structure that the
existence of specimens which might be
melted does not seem to him inconceiv
able. But whether liquefied''his

Suite enough, though nothing in com
parison .with what Cleopatra squander
ed. Hers was the wildest piece of ex
travagance that- I can recall.
“It was the fashion to be extravagant
then. Mary Antony was not far behind
the Egpytian queen in that respect,
though his fancy was not for beverages
flavored by trinkets. Substantial food
was more in his line. A visitor who
once went into the kitchen of his palace
in Alexandria saw eight wild boars
roasting at the same time and thought
there must be an immense number of
guests expected, but the cook told him
only 12 persons would dine that day, j
and the reason of the extensive prepara
tions was that no one could say exactly
when Antony would go to the table.
, But whenever be gave the signal the
t must be just in proper condition
;at that moment. So it was the rule to
get ri-ady a series of dinners, overlap
; ping one another, you might say, at in
i tervals of 15 or 20 minutes. Only one
j could be eaten, and the rest were wasted,
i but the waste did not matter. Antony
■ was never kept waiting, and that, in
his opinion, was the thing to be consid
ered. “

, As an artist Jack Gamble is consider
ed as independent as he is successful.
He possesses an unlimited quantity of
i candor, upon the expression of which
he places no restraint. He is much
; liked notwithstanding, and was not
i long ago offered a commission to paint
the portrait of a certain wealthy man,
whose features are more remarkable for
their bloom than for their refinement.
Jack critically scanned the I k

“Upon one condition will I paint

“ What!” gasped the amazed Croesus.
I speechless at the effrontery of this pov-
