A Thrilling Adventure with a Shark.

Alfetto, the Spanish diver, met with a romarkablo adventure and had a very narrow escape recently while engaged in diving operations on the coast of North Carolina, near the little town of Morehead. The " Atlanta," one of the best known coasting VessoW in these pavts, was capsized in a squall on- the 22nd of September, and Sank just inside the bur. The owners of the craft contracted with a diving company to have her, raided and to recover as much of her cargo as wus still serviceable. Alfetto and another diver were engaged to do the work. They made several successful des cents, but on the fourth trip, the Spaniard met with the adventure of which we speak. His comrade signalled hastily to ba drawn up, and when he had boon hauled in the boat ho pointed how Alfutto had boon soized by a monster white shark and carried off; but scarcely had he douo speaking when Altetto rose from the water about fifty yards from the boat, and was picked up insensible, with several holes punched in tho metallic part, of bin diving suit. Means weresuccess fully adopted to bring him round, and the next day lie told the following Htory :— " Ah you know, we had made our fourth descent, and, while my companion clam bered into the vessel, I waited on the ground till he should uttacli the cords to draw something out. I wus just about to signal to be drawn up for a moment's rest when I noticed a Bliadowy body moving at some distance above me and towards me. In a moment every fish had disappeared, the very crustacean lay still upon the sand, and the cuttle-tish scurried away OS fast as they could. I was not thinking of danger, and my first thought was that it was the shadow of a passing boat. Bet suddenly a feeling of terror seined rue ; I felt impelled to flee from something, I knew not what; a vague horror seemed grasping after me such ;ls a child fancies when leaving a darkened room. By this time the .shadow had como nenror and taken »hu|X!. It scarcely needed a glance to show me that it was a man-eater, ami of the largest size. Had I signalled to be drawn up then it would have been certain death. All i could do win to remain still until it left. It lay off twenty or twenty-five feet, just outside the rigging of the ship, its body usotionlu.s.s, its liiiH barely stirring the water about ite gills, it was ri monsfc-i- as it was, but to add to the horror the pressure of the water upon my head made it appear as if pouring flames from its eyes and month, and every movement of it-!in- and tail seemed accom panied by a display of fireworks. 1 was sure the fiwh was thirty feet long, and so near that 1 could ->■<■ its double row of white teeth. Involuntarily i shrunk flo.ser to the side of the vessel. Hut. my lir.-t movement betrayed my presence. I s:iw the shining eyes fixed upon me ; its tail quivered, as it darted at me like a streak of light. I shrank closer to the side of the ship. I saw it turn on fme r-ide, its ruuuth open, and heard the teeth snap as it darted by me. It had missed me, but only for a moment. Tho nwfep of it" mijrhty "tail had thrown me forward. I saw it turn, balance itself, and its tail C|uivi;r..-d as it darted at me again. There wok iiu escape. Jt turned on ita'hack a? it pwonjxid down on me like a luiv.k on .i sparrow. The cavernous jaw* opened, ami the lung shining Uvth gratet a- they Hosed on my metal harness. It had me. I could feel its teeth grinding upon my (••'i>)iur breastplate as it tried U bite me in two; for fortunately it hat enntrht me just a'-ro— the middle, where ] w;u- best protected. Having .seized me i; went tearing through the water. 1 conic feel it hound forward at each stroke of its tail. Had it nohbotiii for my copper helmet my head would have been torn oil by the rush through The water. 1 v.;is perfectlj conscious, but somehow I felt no terror at all. Than! was only n feeling of numbness I wondered how long it would bo before those teeth would crunch through, ant whether they would strike first into m\ bade or my breast. Then 1 thought o Maggie and the baby, and wondered who would take cure of them-, and if she wonh ever know what had become of me. Al these thoughts passed through my brain ii an instant, but in that time the connecting air tube bad been snapped, and my hoiu scorned ready to burst with pressure while the monster's teeth kept crunching am grinding away upon my harness. Then felt the cold wator begin to pour in ant heard tho bubble, bubble, bubble, as the air escaped into the creature's mouth, began to hear great guns, and to see fire ■works and rainbows and sunshine, and al kinds of. pretty things; then I thought was floating away on a rosy summer cloud dreaming to the sound of sweet music Then all became blank. The shark raigh have eaten me then at his leisure, and never would have been the wiser. Iniagin my astonishment, then, when I opened mj eyes on board this boat and saw you fellow around me. Yes sir ! I thought I was deac and ate up, sure."

A Grim Lighthouse Story.

WliiLE rendering nil honour to heroes of great enterprines, such as Winytanley, Rud yord, and Smeaton, wo must not forget that they were only three men, while hundreds of mon wore engaged in the hazardous work, and hud daily to exhibit the heroism of dangerous labour. It was a grand and heroic conception to build a lighthouse on the Eddystone, but what shall bo said of the mon who lirst of all tried tlio experiment of dwelling in the horrible isolation of that storm-beaten edifice, cut off from rest of the world, uncertain whether tho building would stand tho,test of storm, deafened by tho roar of the "water?, which sometimes would shoot right over tho lantern or dash head long against tho lighthouso with fearful voilence, causing every part to vibrato as though the whole fabric were instantaneously going to pieces f It is-recorried that only two" men attended the lighthouse* built by liud yerd, and that one if them was seized with sudden illness and died. It was in the rough est time in the year, and although the survivor hoisted a signal of distress no boat could reach tho rockl What to do with the dead body ho did not know. At first he -thought ho would throw it mto the sea, but he was hindered by the fear lest the friends of tho deceased might chnrgo him with tho crime of murder. For a whelo month the woathor continued boisterous, and for that whole month tho solitary survivor kept the light all night not what his comrade could no longer share the duty, watch by watch, with" him, and for that whole month he kept tho body of the dead man, although it had fallen into horrible cor ruption. Can any more torrible strait be conceived than^ that in which tho bravo fellow was placed ? Yet wo do not even know his name. All we know is that in almost every great work of public utility involving hazardous labour, if one or two men have come to the front and left their names for the admiration of posterity, there have always been a hundred obscure heroes who hadiived and died and left no sign, but without whoso strong nerves and great hearts thoso works would never have oeen accomplished. —From "Heroes oj Britain xn Peace and War." ." , ''" ,'. .'

Tho most fruitful sources of tires arc—the careless use of matches, candle ilame coming in contact with window curtains or bedhang ings, the mismanagement of kerosene lamps, and tho leaving of ordinary household lamps untended. Matches should always be kept on a high shelf out of the reach of children. When employed in stores, warehouses and factories, they should be protected from mice by means of proper metal-boxes. Core should be taken not to droi' unlightcd matches, nor to throw down unextinguished matches care lessly on the floor. Never leave a lighted candle unwatched near hanging drapery, especially if thero bo an open window in the room. Reading; in bed bycandle light is a practice very much to bo condemned, und a burning candle should novor bo suffered to remain after the inmates. of the house aro asleep. Gas should be turned'offat the main when not in use. In oase an escape should bo strongly smelt; turn off at once from the main and set open the doors and windows, but on no account take a lighted candlo into tho room till tho smell has passed off. Never pile up partially burnt woo* against tho chimney; scores of houses have been burned in this way in New Zealand. Never put firewood inside the fonder or on the stove to dry. Papor, clothing, or similar combustible material should never be left near the grate. Ashes should novor be thrown away against a wooden building, or kept in a wooden box or barrel. The abovo hints relate to the i^kven tion o*- FIRE. When unfortunately a ere does occur, remember that wet blankets and rugs economiso the supply of water, and are more effectual in preventing tho spread of Are than water simply thrown on, and at tho samo time causo less damage to furniture. In the hurry and confusion of a fire doors and windows aro too apt to bo thrown open ; they shoold bo kept shut as much as possibio. Fire can only spread rapidly when it is plentifully supplied with air. Havo your chimneys regularly swept, at fixed intervals; at least once in three months. WHAT TO DO AFTER A. FIRE.

On the contrary, thoy should first of all be removedl (if necessary), to & safe, dry place, and everything done that is requisite to prtrtent further shrinkage of values.
