The I eat Sound* In. rt ,!Ihlc, but the Orator nt th.- l iar** Club i old a C I rcunt m ta o 11xt I Morj nod Display 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.

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 I -rl r not tin ; ■ rf< r z,; rtainly ."ust him a sum equivalent to s4d,obO—- 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. “ MY-LADY NICOTINE. .1 The Alleged FfTectM of Tubnrro and Its Enormous Consumption, f its ; raises so much sung as smoking. the other side.
