I
SHARK FISHING EXPEDITION TO
PUULOA.
Oreat Sport Is Anticipated by the Fleet
Of Yachts Which Leaves Here Next
Saturday.
The shark fishing expedition which
yachtsmen .are nrranglng for next Sa
turday and Sunday Is not going to
prove the jaunt that many imagine
and Instead of being a cork drawing
competition It Is likely to prove an ex
citing trip from start to finish. The
Eva, the Marion and the Dewey are
certain to go and Mr. Macfarlane In
tends to join the party if he can get
away. His boat, the La Paloma, Is the
biggest yacht In these waters and being
well lighted It serves to light the ancho
rage grounds as well as to attract the
sharks. An attempt will also be made
to get the Helene to join the crowd and
all the other boats ns well.
Puuloa. which is to be the scene of
the shark fishing is about twelve miles
from Honolulu and Is situated on the
other side of the Pearl Harbor entrance.
The sharks are said to be very num
erous at Puuloa and with fair success,
the yachts ought to average a maneater
apiece. Mr. Macfarlane caught one
there some time ago measuring 1G feet
In length. The crew spent most of the
night and n good portion of the follow
ing day landing the animal. After
hooking him they had to wait until high
tide to draw him over the reef and once
Inside, the fish redoubled his efforts to
escape. He had been well hooked
though and each effort upon his part to
get awny would result In his being more
surely hauled In. The greatest care had
to be taken however in landing the
shark. He would make the runs with
the line and on his turns he would shy
In slightly. Then the line would be
hauled In slightly but no attempt made
to drag the Ilsh toward the boat.
He kept up the running and shifting
fight for hours but on every Inward turn
he would loose several feet and by de
grees the men on the yacht brought
him close to the boat. By the time that
low tide was reached two thirds of the
animal were out of water. The task
of delivering the finishing blow had to
be done nnd it proved a risky job but
the shark was finally killed. When he
was cut open the body of a good sized
pig and the hoof of a horse were found
In the shark's stomach. The liver of the
shark was given to a native who made
several barrels of oil out of It realizing
a fair sum from the efforts of the La
Paloma's crowd.
On this side of Pearl Harbor the
sharks nre said to abound in large num
bers. The natives have the greatest
difficulty In catching their fish for the
sharks follow the boats and snap the
fish off the hooks while the fishermen
are drawing them toward the -boats.
Such an expedition, as is proposed,
ought to prove a grent success for in
addition to the social feature of a fleet
of yachts going away from home, the
excitement incidental to fighting with
the desperate savages of the deep ought
to attract the lovers of sports, whether
they be big game hunters ashore or not.
The party expects to leave here Satur
day about 2 p. m. and return Sunday
evening.
GIRLS' NAMES.
A history of given names has recently
ueen puuusneu in England, which.
among other topics, discusses fashions
In women's names. Among those that
have come Into vogue during the past
quarter or a century It puts Dorothy,
Kathleen. Hilda, Phyllis, Winifred, Lil
ian and Mabel. But while young wom
en bearing these names have probably
become more abundant during the time
specified, the fashion, for which their
parents are of course responsible,
snoum pernaps oe put farther bacK.
those on the list, though like the rest
It Is but a reappearance of an old name.
It is perhaps a thought too archaic and
affected for most people, and Is not like
ly to wear so well as Dorothy, the Purl
tan simplicity of which commends It
to good taste. The other names in the
list are not to be given without cau
tion. Hilda and Phyllis are both good
names between the ages of 15 and 30,
Gladys is a trifle later than most of
but they are not for everybody.
ENTHUSIASTIC COLLEGIAN.
One of the most deeply Interested per
sons In the Yale-Harvard boat races
last week was Dr. Virgil M. D. Marcy
of Cape May, N. J. Although an In
valid and unable to walk without
crutches, he did as much hurrahing as
many of the younger people when Yale
won. Dr. Marcy Is one of the few sur
viving members of Yale's first boat
club. He was graduated from Yale Col
lego in 1844. When the first boat club
was formed, two years before that, ho
was the stroke oar. This was tho first
boat club formed by the undergraduates
In any college in the United States.
SCOURGE OF SCORPIONS.
Scorpions and tarantulas have made
their uppearance In such numbers at
Iguala and other points on the Mexico,
Cuernnvaca & Pacific Railroad as to In
terfere with the operation of that lino
and the transaction of other business.
So many of the trainmen have been bit
ten by the poisonous Insects thut the
running of trains Is delayed. At Iguala
a bounty has been offered by the mun
icipal authorities for the killing of tho
pests, and hundreds of men and boys
are employed In slaughtering them.

WE HAVE JUST RECEIVED a large shipment of this celebrated Cement,
which is the STONGEST AND MOST SERVICEABLE CEMENT MADE,
and will permit the admixture of a larger amount of sand or gravel, with less
loss of strength, than ony other brand; it Is therefore the most economical.
ALSEN has no equal In color, fineness and sand carrying capacity. It '
weighs less per bushel, measuring about 10 per cent more cement to a barrel)
than other brands, which very materially reduces its cost as compared with
other cements Is therefore an economical cement to use, and specially adapted)
for fine concrete work.
The following tests, made in actual work by Col. D. C. Houston, Corps aS
Engineers, U. S. A., at the seawall around Governor's Island, New York Har
bor, has never been equally by any other ement. It Is as follows: Tensile
strength per square Inch One day, 384 pounds; seven days, 600 pounds; thlrtJT
days, 818 pounds.
For sidewalks It gives the best color and the most endurable wearing sur
face. A few of the large cor tracts In which Alsen Cement was used: Cable R
R., Baltimore, 35,000 barrels; Quebec Harbor Improvement, 20,000 barrels; Nor
thern Pacific R. R. bridges, 20,000 barrels.
