The sharks are caught in every imaginable way, by bait and hook, but principally with the seine. The livers, which contain the oil, after being taken from the fish, are rendered out in cans set over a brush tire, reminding one somewhat of the process of obtaining the oil from whale blubber. The oil is then put into casks and shipped to Los The coarser grades are used in the making of tarpaulins and other oiled cloths for use aboard shipf, while the finer grades are put into the so called cod liver oil of commerce.

Tlie rocky little hill of tiuadalupe stands but a few miles to the northward of the City of Mexico.

It Is a barren, dreary looking spot, yet two objects draw one toward it--a picturesque, half ruined cathedral that crowns the summit aud at the foot of the long, long stone stairway that leads from the base to the top of the hill a Btrango monument of heroic size that, on closer view proves to be the mast and sails of ship wrought in stone. And this is the legend of the place, ns related to the writer. On ii certain day early in the sixteenth some have poor peasant Juau Diego left his village of Topetlac to nttetul mass Iu a town hard by where the bishop lived. lie was weary, more than weary, from a long day's and that rocky, precipitous hill that he had to cross seemed a mountain in his way. As he struggled up he thought he heard the sound of music.

He stopped and listened. Again he started, and again the sound? This time he waited, and suddenly he heard a voice above him calling his uatno, and, looking up, he saw lady, shining and beautiful, enveloped'in a halo that encircled her entire body. Juan fell upon his face, nor did he dare to look again, but he heard her voice speaking to him. It bade him bring her a drink of water, and though he knew that for miles around no water flowed, yet he started to his feet to obey, aud there at the spot where her feet had touched the barren earth a spring of water gushed forth. With trembling hands he filled a cup, formed of the corner of his blanket of dried shaking with the awe aud honor of it nil he had barely carried the water from the edge of the spring when he spilled It, aud.

overcome with shame at his failure, he fell again upon his face to await some form of punishment. Hut again he heard the voice, and it bade him go to tho bishop, Don Juan Kumarraga. and say it was the Virgin's wish that a temple be erected to her on that hill. Then she departed, aud Juan, no longer weary, hastened to the bishop with his story. But the worthy prelate was incredulous and would do nothing, and Juan, broken hearted, started back to his hut in distant Topetlac.

As he crossed the barren hill, now to him a sacred spot, again lie heard the music, and again he saw the vision, which gave the same "Go to the bishop with my wish that a shrine be built for me upon this hill. And for a sign gather thy tllma full of flowers." Then she vanished, and Juan, arising. i growihg where naught had ever grown before. Aud to this day that one spot blossoms, while the surrounding laud is a barren waste. But J.uan filled his blanket aud ran again to the lo.

when he began to empty the (lowers at the bishop's feet they saw upon the tilma an image of the Virgin as she appeared to Juan, the halo completely encircling her form. Then the bishop'believed and humbled himself for his doubt, and a church was built upon the summit of Gaudalupe. and over the altar was enshrined the blanket, with the miraculous image of the Virgin upon it. That-was In and yet if you go there you wilt see the sacred blanket, and the colors upon it are as bright as they were four centuries ago. The spring still gushes from the hillside at the spot where the virgin's feet had touched, and the healing powers of its waters are famous throughout Mexico.

Many years 'ago a Mexican ship was being beaten by fierce storms with little hope of a safe havenage, and the crew, after all other means were exhausted, resorted to prayer and vowed an offering to their patroness. Our Lady of Gaudalnpe. If she would but get them safe ashore.

The ship was miraculously saved, and the sailors, true to their vow, bore their ship's foremast, with its square sails all set. miles Inland to the hill of Gandaliipe, and there at the foot of the hill, where the long flight of stone steps begins that leads to tlie church on tlie summit, they planted their offering and incased It with stone.
