STORIES OFf»liZEtOS' BIRTH
Two Lsgtnds TaM, Owe of Them Nsr.
ratsd by ths «r*st Greek autss
msn'X i^Self.
There ore mabj legandM surround
ing th« birth Of 'Venteeloß. Accord
ing to one, tilg mother went to the
Manas; cry ot 'the Virgin near
to pruy for a son, promising the child
should be born in a cattle shed ufter
"New Testament tradition. Another
tells the same Story with this addl-
Uon: When the abbot christened
VeolzelOs he uttered, following the
mother's wlah, these prophetic v words:
"I baptise thee Kleutherlos, for thou
shalt deliver our long-suffering Island
from the tyranny of the Turks."
In the "Life of Vonlzelos," by S.
B. Chester, stiU another story is told,
based on Incidents narrated by Aie
Greek statesman himself at a dtnner
party In l/ondon. His parents,, hav
lng already lost three children, de
cided to Mlow the local eustoo\ and
adopt Irtta as a foundling. There was
a superstition that the child would
survive only If treated' in this fashion.
ICleutherlos was duly taken away
from his mother and deposited on a
heap of dry leaves outside the house.
Passing by soon 'afterward, some
friends, who, of course, pluyed their
role In the secret, "discovered" the
child, brought him to his parents and
urged that they adopt him as a found
ling. They did, and Eleutlierlos sur
vived and prospered.

The accused protested, said that
it was a poor law under which he was
fined and that be did not think it
would hold water in court.
The mayor declared any law found
ed on the Bible was good enough for
him. The defendant said he couldn't
see where a tail light had anything
to do with tho Bible. The mayor
looked pityingly 'at the accused and
said:
"Do you remember the tale about

Miniature Libraries
A curious Idea In book making la
offered by a Arm of Pren4> publishers.
Their plan consists ef substituting for
the large pages of the average books
mlcropbotographlc reproductions of
them to be read through a magnifying
glass.
It Is propoeed that the six* of the
plates representing pages Should be In
ternationally standardised, so that any
one possessing the magnifying appara
tus would be able to read any book
produced In tbla way. No technical
difficulties are said to he In the way.
It Is claimed that the coat of pro
duction would be enormously reduced.
Also tt would greatly reduce the work
of libraries now cumbered by books
of every ahape and slxe. The plates
would be. moreover, of a ftre-proof
and durable material, while the system
admits of an edition be lug enlarged to
any dimension deetred In accordance
with demand.

SHARKS TAKEN OFF NEW YORK
T helr Capture bald to Have Deen a
Regular Thing Prior to and
During Year 1818.
A 'shark nowadays eve*, on the most
exposed beuchea of New York and the
metropolitan area Is a rarity and a
curiuslty, but there wus a time when
these fish used to lie caught off Cath
arine slip, says the New York Sun.
This wfiH about 18f5, when the fishing
smacks and fish cars used to unload
and load off this wharf In the East
river and the dead fish thrown aut Into
the water used to uttract the sharks.
An old man, Sam Way, a porter In
the old Cathurlne market; earned a
reputation us a master shark catcher.
"Shurk around thg slip," was the
cry that wus raised wlien a shark was
sighted off the pier and then Sam
would drop his broom and put out his
chain hook and soon would have the
giant fish struggling on the dock. He
Is sitid to have hauled tn as many as
seven in one day, some of them four
teen feet long.
Devoe, the historian, tells an Inci
dent which Is pussod on herewith with
out confirmation:
"Ono day Snm hooked a big one and
he cilmhed Into a Skiff which lay tied
to the end of the »llp; the shnrk took
to pulling and broke loose the skiff
with Sum In, and away lie went down
the river at race-horse speed, nearly
as for us Ited Hook before he tired
"out, or Sam could holdftTlm up. He,
however, mastered him and brought
him back, uudF Sum after that con
cluded not to be run away with again.
So he stuck to the raft or dock when
lie flahed for 'shurk' thereafter."
PAID BIG PRICE FOR TITLES
White Men In Bouth Africa Hardly
Recompensed by Appellation of
Brave and Noble Indunas.
Their adventure In Swaxlland is
tbld by a doctor who Jest returned
from u ten years' sojourn there and
who, with two other white men, was
made sub-chl«f In the Hwazl tribe of
South Africa negroos. The white men
were not eager for the experience,
and the lnltlutlon was far from an
Inducement, the rule requiring that
they should spend ten days of puri
ficatory exile from human society, In
native dress, with only native weap
ons, depending upon their skill-In the
use of these for food. The doctor told
with considerable feeling how they
were stripped by the leAdlng medi
cine man of every shred of clothing,
given warrior costumes and
conducted into the hills. They were
Mtten by Insects, scratched by _honm,
frozen at nlgl|t, scorched by day, their
bare feet bruised and abraded until
they were In agony, kept In constant
fear of the many poisonous snakee —
but, most of all, hungry. In spite of
L'Tunga's tutoring In native methods
of taking gume, the white men, used
to depending upon the rlfie for such
purposes, nearly starved. However,
when the chief medicine man and hla
assistants came to conduct them back
to the kraal of the queen, the fam
ished, dirty, desperate looking white
men, with ten days' growth of beard,
were acclaimed brave and noble In
dunas.
Hibernating Fishes.
Cold weather hus a marked effect
on some of the fresh water fish at
the aquarium of the New York Zoologi
cal society. When the temperature
Of the fresh water flowing through ths
tanks of the aquarium falls h«>ow 40
degrees, certain fish become very
sluggish. The young yellow perch lie
quietly at the bottom of the tank,
as evenly spaced as If put there by
their keeper, and take little food. A
low temperature affects young black
bass In qolte a different way. They
stay poised somewhere above the bot
tom, but crowded close together. Fifty
or more will often guther in u com
pact muss, all facing In the name di
rection. 4 The uqnartu. has several
tanks of young black bass, all groups
of which show the same curious habit.
