SHARKS ARE THE VICTORS IN BATTLE WITH A WHALE FIGHT LASTS THREE HOURS AS HUGE MAMMAL VAINLY STRUG GLES WITH THRESHERS. Melbourne. — While engaged In building nt-w quarters for the light house keeper at ISrcaksea island, near Kottnest. Western Australia, the con tractor and his men noticed a bull whale, with a cow and calf, passing the island some distance off An hour or so later—about nine o'clock, to be exact—the men were i' • " ■ - — ■ ■ ■ —1 ■ i She Hurled Her Whole Great Bulk Clear Out of the Water. startl>-d by ar. extraordinary noise, apparently coming from the eastern end of the island, a noise unlike any thing they had ever heard before. Dropping their tools and staring to ward the cast, they beheld such a sight as it falls to the lot of few peo ple to witness. There, not 500 yards from the shore, was being waged a battle to the death—a fight between the great cow whale previously seen and a school of thresher sharks The sharks, as though acting In ac cordance with some preconcerted plan, had completely surrounded the two whales, and. api>arently realizing that nothing was to be feared from the calf. concenR-ated all their efforts upon the cow Again and again they charged in upon her. their Jaws snap ping. tearing at her mighty sides until the sea was red with blood Mean while the cow lashed her tail furious ly. hurling up sheets of reddened wa ter and occasionally crashing down with terrific force upon one of her vo racious opponents. Maddened with pain and rage, she dashed this wav and that but the sharks hung to her side with a persistency and ferocity that made the fascinated onlookers shudder Presently the spellbound spectators realised two facts—firstly, that the calf had disapi>eared in the melee, and secondly that the tortured whale was undoubtedly becoming weaker. It was obvious that the unequal struggle could have only one ending Still, however, she fought on doggedly, win nine admiration and sympathy by her exhibition of hopeless courage. Alter ing her tactics, by a supreme effort she hurled her whole great bulk clear of th water for a moment, and the faseinat. d onlookers beheld the 'harks hanging from various parts of her g'.eaniit g body by their serrated teeth Then down she went again, with a crash like thunder, and for an instant whale and sharks were burled amid masses of foam, heavily colored wt*h the poor mammal's life blood. Rising again, she essayed another change of plan, making for the rocks and desperately striving to rub off the clinging sharks against their edges Rut the threshers were equal to the occasion; while those on the outside maintained their grip, the oth ers dived under their enemy and charged her anew, tearing at the whale's side in an ecstasy of feroc ity that was bloodcurdling to witness | More and more feeble grew the 1 whale's struggles, and at last—to the heartfelt relief of the spectators, for her death fight had been terrible to behold—the great body turned over i and sank beneath the red-tinted wa ter. The unequal battle was over, having lasted from nine o'clock until noon—as awe-inspiring a contest as man was ever privileged to witness. Forty-eight hours afterward the • whale's body, which had In the mean time become distended with gas. rose to the surface and exploded with a roar like a miniature powder maga zine. causing the startled people to rush to the shore to discover what had happened Would Sell Mountain. A peculiar real estate deal Is under : consideration by the authorities of Veybaux. in Switzerland, who have been approached with a proposal for the purchase of a mountain in the neighborhood. The mountain is val ued at some J.lj.uoo. and as it is diffi cult of access, it is proposed to con struct one of those wonderful rail ways to be seen at Pilatus or the ltigi. 1 and then to establish hotels on the ‘op.

FROZE IN ALASKA, COL. WEATHERBY. SOLDIER OF FORTUNE. RELATES STRANGE STORY OF ADVENTURES. I — HOW HE WAS LOST AT SEA Takes Guns and Ammunition to the Island to Help the Rebels and Is Afloat Many Hours Without Food or Water. _ New York.—Colonel Lionel R. Stu- : art Weatherby, who is his Britannic * majesty's consul at Nome. Alaska, i stopped at the Waldorf on his return from a visit to London, whither he went to show his friends over there a | nugget he had picked up in the north ; and to renew old associations for a brief time. "I went up to the northwest in '99 first.” said Colonel Weatherby. "First, I tried the Dawson country, but in j 1900 I came back and went down into South America to explore the head- j waters of the Amazon. I have never told about it yet. in fact, 1 am keep ing quiet about that until I get ready to tell what 1 found. 1 was down there two years. “During the last Cuban insurrection I was in charge of a filibustering ex- j pedition in the Horsa. a little fruit ! steamer, and took a lot of rifles and ammunition down there for the rebels, j One night we ran up near the south- j ern coast, but when we made out a : vessel which the Cuban major with j me said was a Spanish gunboat, we made off shore again. Next night we ' came back and came in sight of a black cloud which the major said was ! the island and we prepared to land ! our cargo in boats. A field piece was | the most important part of the out- j fit. and 1 got that and the ammunition belonging to it safely into the first j boat, and told the major to hold on un- ! til the last boat left. Well, after a ; few of the other boats had been load- ] ed the steamer started away and l j 1 pulled in our hawsers and found they ■ | had been cut. The Horsa afterward ! I "We Found Ourselves In a Predica ment.” arrived In Jamaica, was found to have arms on board and was sent up here with her captain, under arrest. "We found ourselves In a pretties ment. What we were told was land turned out to be only a cloud, and In stead of being a couple of miles off shore we were fully thirty. To make things worse, a storm came up and we spent the night pitching up and down. We couldn't see the stars, and so could not make out which way to > | steer The crews of the other boats ! threw their ca-goes overboard, except i one that was commanded by a colonel I | Next morning we could not see land at all 1 had put a tarpaulin Into the boat to cover the g-.in, and we rigged ♦his up as a sail, and using this and the oars we made for where we thought the land was. As we had been told we were so near the land we had not put any water or food Into the boat, and on the second day the man I upon whom we depended to show us ] the way to Gomel's camp went mad nnd tried to kill several of us, so we had to tie him up. We made out land ! on the second day. nnd rowed for all j we were worth, and that night, the ■ moon being clear, we hove In sight of what seemed the entrance to a | beautiful bay. “All at once two men o'-wnr ap peared, coming out of the opening, it was the harbor of Santiago. I Imme diately ordered the tarpaulin down and the men and 1 got under It. ’ hoping that as we thus presented al most a flat appearance upon the wa | ter we would not be noticed, and we were not. though one of the warships passed within 500 yards of us before ! turning east. The other turned west | As soon as they got far enough away we changed our course and rowed along the coast until we found a bit i of beach. There we hurled the field piece and the breech lock in sand and brush, destroyed the trail and running the boat out to sea. stove a hole in I her. We ran across a friendly Cuban who supplied us with food and water j Later we recovered the gun and did some fighting for the rebels, hut we did more running than shooting, as 1 most of the ‘soldiers’ hud no guns." Onion Pie. Teel, wash ar.d slice one quart of onions and put Into kettle with one heaping tablespoon of melted butter, i Cover tightly and stir often to keep from burning. Let them steam until tender, then add two level teaspoons of salt, one level teaspoon of caraway seed, one-fourth teaspoon of black pepper and one-half cup of sour cream. A good biscuit dough is better than a pie crust dough. This makes two pies. It is very nice and it any body likes fried onions they will ctiralp libq tMft. SLEW MUCH GAME IN JUNGLES OF AFRICA Colonel Roosevelt Bagged Elephants, Lions and Many other Animals, Sending the Specimens to the Smithsonian Institute — Kermit the Expedition’s Photographer. Colonel Roosevelt added much to his fame as a hunter of big game dur lng his 11 months in East Africa, and also sent a great number of valuable specimens of tbe fauna and flora of that region to the Smithsonian insti tution, which partly financed the ex pedition. The individual expenses of Mr. Roosevelt and his son Kermlt were paid by the former, who earned large sums by writing articles for a magazine descriptive of his experi ences. Not wasting much time after leav ing the White House, Colonel Roose velt sailed from New York on the steamship Hamburg, headed for Na ples. With him were Kermlt and three naturalists. Major Mearns, Ed mund Heller and J. Alden Loring, and stowed In the hold was most of their elaborate outfit for killing or photo graphing the animals of East Africa and for preserving the specimens des tined for the Smithsonian Institution. Kermlt had trained himself to be the chief photographer of the expedition, but he also turned out to be consider able of a hunter. A great throng of friends and ad mirers bade the colonel farewell, and he sailed away, but could not entirely separate himself from the world, for practically all the way across the At lantic wireless communication with the Hamburg was maintained. More over, at the Azores, and again at Gibraltar, he found the officials and people Insisted on doing him honor, and when he reached Naples on April 5 the entire populace turned out to greet him with flowers and cheers. Boarding the German steamship Ad miral for Mombasa, Mr. Roosevelt found in his cabin a quantity of flow ers and a letter from Emperor William wishing him "good hunting." At Mes sina a stop was made to view the earthquake ruins, and there, at King Victor Emmanuel's request, Mr. Roose velt and Kermlt visited the Italian monarch on board the battleship Rex Umberto.

At Mombasa the party was Joined by R. J. Cunlnghame, a veteran Afri can hunter sind explorer, and Leslie J. Tarleton, and these two managed the expedition In a most able manner. Taking train to Kapitll plains, the party became the guests of iSir Alfred Tease on his ranch. An Immense caravan of 260 persons was organized and on April 25 Colonel Roosevelt had his first African hunt. On this occasion he bagged two wildebeests and a Thomason's gazelle. April 50 was a notable day In the camp on the Athi. tor on that day the first lions fell victims to the marksmanship of the Roosevelts. Theodore shot two and Kermlt one. and there was great rejoicing among the natives who mnae up the caravan. After that the big game came tast and cheetahs, giraffes, rhinoceroses and more lions were t | added to the list. In all 14 varieties of ■ animals being secured. Meanwhile Kermlt was busy with his cameras and the naturalists prepared the spe cimens. George McMillan, an American, was the next host of the hunters, and sev eral weeks were spent on his fine Ju Ja ranch and In the surrounding coun try. There the game was very plenti ful and many fine specimens were bagged. Members of the party made several extensive trips of exploration, notably on and around Mount Kenia. The expedition left East Africa De cember 19. crossed I'ganda and went down the White Nile, getting back to comparative civilization at Gondokoro There they went aboard a steamer put at their disposal by the sirdar, and journeyed to Khartum, where Mrs. Roosevelt mfct her husband, and accompanied him in a leisurely trip to Cairo. During his stay in Egypt Col onel Roosevelt was the recipient of many honors and made several speeches. One of them, in which he praised the administration of the British, gave considerable offense to the native Nationalists. At the end of March the Roosevelts sailed for Italy. In a preliminary report to the Smithsonian Institution Mr. Roosevelt summarized the material results of the expedition as follows: "On the trip Mr. Heller has pre pared 1.020 specimens of mammals, the majority of large size; Mr. Lorlng has prepared 3.163, and Doctor Mearns "14—a total of v,897 mammals. Of birds. Doctor Mearns has prepared nearly 3.101). Mr. Lorlng 899, and Mr. Heller about fifty—a total of about 4.000 birds. "Of reptiles and batrachlans, Messrs Mearns.

"Several thousand plants were col lected throughout the regions visited by Doctor Mearns. who employed and trained for the work a M'nyumnexl named Makangarrt. who soon learned how to make very good specimens, and turned out an excellent man In j every way.

' WILL HUGHES SHED BEARD? , Whiskers and Judicial Robe* Hava Never Mixed Well on the Supreme Bench. ' Washington.—Will that luxurious crop of whiskers be sacrificed to up hold the dignity and precedents of the Supreme bench when Governor Hugnes takes his seat among the world's greatest Jurists? Whiskers and Judicial robes have never mixed well In the United State* Supreme court room. There seems to be some sort of an unwritten law that forbids the Interpreters of the Constitution from covering up their chins. t'here have been a few violators of this law, who came In for more or less Governor Hughes Without Beard. censure. When the late Justice Brew er, whom Governor Hughes will suc ceed. came from Kansas for the bench, he wore as fine a bunch of populistic whiskers as that state ever produced, but quickly taking a broad hint, amputated them, and from that time on was one of the smooth-faces. Mustaches do not come within provi sions of the law, hence Chief Justice Fuller. Justices Hay. Lurton and Holmes sport downy decorations north of their upper lips. Justice Kenna goes even a trifle farther and attaches himself to sidewhlskers. The main point Is: Will Governor Hughes recognise the fact that whis kers and Judicial brains, as exempli fied by the Supreme court, do not mix? REMARKABLE AERIAL TRIP Voyage of Lieut.

They presented themselves tn due form at the portals of the house, where guards sit to "shoo" away intruders. They sent In a card of one of the party. The congressman whom they wanted to see received the card. "Take It over to l.ongworth." he told the page. Long worth studied the card In some astonishment for an instant. He didn't know Us owner Hut what could an urbane statesman from Cincinnati do? Just what he did Rise and go out to the corridor. "Here's Mr. Long worth." said the page, who preceded the Ohioan. "He wants to meet you " The Humes decided that that was just about the nicest thing that bad hap pened to them in Washington. It was perfectly delightful on the part of Roosevelt's son-in-law to go to all the trouble to come out to meet them. They told him so. They asked about Mrs Lcngworth In fact, they near ly mobbed him. Ixmgworth couldn't understand It. He looked up and saw the other congressman standing in the doorway. Tho joker was smiling be h;nd his band.
