CHASING SWORD FISH.

AN EXCITING AND DANGEROUS |
OCCUPATION.
Haunting tue Fish on the New Ingz-
land Coast. — Its Strength and
Agility — A Terror to Other
Fish.
A sword fish, when swimming near tho
surface, usnally allows its dorsal fin and
a portion of its tail to project out ol
water. It is this habit which enables the
fishermen to tell when the game is pres.
ent. The creature moves slowly under
ordinary conditions, and the fishing
schoasnor, with a light breoze, finds no
difficulty inovertaking it. When alarmed,
however, it exhibits enormous strength
and agliity. Sometimes it isseento lop
entirely oat of water. Its long, lithe,
muscular body, with fins snugly fitting |
into grooves, is admirably adapted for |
the most rapid movement through the
water. Prof. Richard Owee, testifying
in an English court respecting its power,
suid:
The sword fish at fall speed strikes
with the accumulated for fifteen
hammers swung with both hands. lis
velocity is equal to that of a swivel shot
and the shock is as dan in its
effects as that of a heavy artillery pro
jectile.”
The sword fish never comes to the sur-
face except in moderate weather, accor 1-
ing to Dr. Gi. Brown Goode. A 1
parsuing them has always aman stationed
at the mast head, where, with the keen
eve which practice has given him, he can
easily descry the tell-tale back fins at a
distance of two or three When

enough, they will not suffer a small boai

A Disastrous Yawn.
I ——
One of the most pecalinr misadven-
tures on record recently befell William
Davis of San Francisco. Ouse morning
he awoke after a very sound night's
slumber, und was seized with an uncon-
trollable impulse to yawn and streich
himself. He had stretched his arms out
to their fall length when snddenly he
felt something suap, and discovered that
he was unable to restore his left arm to
its natural position. He groaned with
anguish and friends came to his nesis-
tanoe, bundled him up and took him to
the receiving hospital, wheve it was found
that Davis while stretching himself had
dislocated his left shoulder. Dir. Somers
alled the joint back into its socket.
he doctor says he has frequently heard
of jaws being dislocated in excossive
yawning, but this is the first cnso re.
corded, so far as io knows, of a shoulder
beiog yawned out of joint. Ho thinks
it would have been impossible but for
the fact that Davis’ shoulder had been
dislocated before, some years ago.
