tumorous Jlcpartwrut. Captain Probably Admitted.?The skipiK'B was a man who had a good opinion of himself and his notions. He had pulled through ship-wreck, mutiny and other perils of the deep, but he came a cropper once. For one of his voyages he had shipped a boatswain's mate who bore something of a reputation. One day the skipper ordered him aloft to examine a sail on the royal yard. " 'Tain't safe, cap'n," protested the boatswain's mate; "the foot ropes nas got to be fixed first." "Do as I tell you!" thundered the captain. "The foot ropes are all right. I kijow they are." The man went up. Five minutes later he came tumbling down through the rigging from the top of the mast, a distance of over 100 feet. With a bang he landed on the belly of the mainsail and bounded into one of the canvas-covered boats. The sailors, thinking him dead, crowded about him In a circle. To their amazement he sat up. His eyes wandered vacantly about until they rested on the leathery face of the skipper, when they lighted up with intelligence. "Cap'n," he said slowly, "you was mistaken about them ropes."?Exchange. Two Frauds.?In the Metropolitan theatre the house physician has a seat given him for each performance. He is supposed to be there every night. Naturally there comes a time when the play begins to pall on him. One evening not long ago the stage manager of a local playhouse rushed down the aisle to the doctor's seat and whisr?o ror? "Come back at once?the leading lady has an attack." In the lady's dressing room all was confusion. "What'll we do, doc!" cried the stage manager. "Have you poured water on her head?" "Yes, a whole bucket, out of the one that says, 'Not to be used except in case of Are.'" ' "Then don't pour any more?I fear you have made a fatal mistake. Run out to the drug store and get this filled." When they had run out the lady opened her eyes. "Doc," she gasped, ">*ou're a good fellow, ain't you? I know you know there's nothing the matter with me. I want a day off and I don't want to go on in this act. Can you fix it?" "I sure can," he answered, wringing her hand sympathetically. "I ain't a doctor?I came in on his ticket. We'll fix it."?Cleveland Plain Dealer. How An Actor Was Made.?Maclyn Arbuckle, the actor, was invited to a dinner to meet a few members of congress the last time he played in Washington, says the Sunday Magazine. He told this story: "I am from Bowie county, Texas, and my presence here tonight is peculiarly appropriate because I, too, once ran for office, one of the highest and most distinguished offices in the gift of the people, that of justice of the peace. Toward the end of my campaign I made my greatest speech. I Standing on a goods box in a cross roads store, I,told my constituents alll about Marcus Aurelius and Plutarch.) I dwelt on the importance of securing Justice for all. I raved, I roared. Demosthenes would have envied me. "Then my opponent rose and said, 'Voters, you know I own a big grocery store a few miles up the road. I am about to open a new and long line of credit. If I am elected. I shall be glad to see you all at my store.'" Arbuckle paused and surveyed his political hearers sadly. "Gentlemen," he concluded mournfully, "that 'line' made me go on the stage for a living." ?Exchange. Because Others Embraced the Opportunity.?The noted actor who had consented to give a reading for the l>eneflt of a certain charity, arrived at home late that night with a very worried look on his face. "Why, my dear," said his wife, "wasn't the reading a success?" "No, didn't do it at all," he replied, dropping into a chair moodily. "Didn't read it at all?" "No. You see, the chairman of the reception committee first made a speech introducing the chairman of the managing committee. He got up and told about the excellent work of the honorary treasurer, who got up and made a speech about the plans for next year and introduced the president of the association, who told all about the work of the concern and then introduced the chairman of the meeting, who was to introduce me, hut by that time the audience was leaving. So I slipped round to the door and came out with them."?TitHits. He Got Fined Anyhow.?In a sparsely settled region of West Virginia, a motor car driver was once haled before a local magistrate upon the complaint of a constable. The magistrate, a good-natured man, was not, however. absolutely certain that the Wash ingtonian's car had heen driven too fast, and the owner stoutly insisted that he had been progress ins at the rate of only six miles an hour. "Why, your honor," he said, "my engine was out of order, and I was going very slowly because I was afraid it would break down completely. I give you my word, sir, you could have walked as fast as I was running." "Well," said the magistrate, after due reflection, "you don't appear to have been exceeding the speed limit, but at the same time you must have been guilty of something or you wouldn't be here. I fine you $10 for loitering."?Exchange. Not a Relative.?Critically the friend of the artist regarded the weird conglomeration of color which stood on the easel before him. He stepped back, bent forward, looked at it sideways and twisted his head in all directions. "What do you think of it?" ques lionet! nit* aspiring i\. ,\. "Omul! Very good!" his friend answered. "It's a perfect portrait; only ?ah?I should he inclined to criticise one little detail. The original is scarcely so red in the face as you have painted him." The artist gasped.

Sharks are both cowardly and cruel but it is difficult to study their ways frpm the deck of a ship, as they move slowly in a refractive medium such as water some 20 or 30 feet below the observer. Hence the erroneous deductions of seamen with respect to these unsociable denizens of | the deep. The shark belongs to a I type which has survived the flight of time, while other more attractive species have ceased to exist. The early voyagers were wont to attribute supernatural prescience to the shark. Often during light winds, one of these sea scavengers will follow a slow sailing ship for several successive days and nights, and it was erroneously assumed that he does so because aware in some mysterious way of an impending death on board which will insure for him a sumptuous repast. Many a shark is preceded by a few shimmering companions known as pilot fish because they are supposed to warn the shark of danger ahead, but they never prevent this hostis humani generis from swallowing the tempting morsel and its cunningly concealed hook. A shark's voracity is not less marvelous than his digestion. Whether he be a man-eater by choice or by compulsion of hunger, the fact remains that anyone who happens to fall overboard In the vicinity of a shark is likely to be snapped up by the latter without ceremony. It is the evil reputation attaching to this whole shark tribe as regards indifference whence cohies a meal that renders them so abhorrent to seafarers. They are by no means epicures. Falling other food, a shark will devour a relative that is either dead or mori Old sailors never weary of enlarging upon the voracity and the digestion of sharks. When in the China seas, as related by the late Captain Basil Hall. R. N., a large shark was caught by H. M. S. Alceste, which was found to contain, among other things, a bulTalo hide that had been thrown overboard the preceding day. One of the sailors explained this in a way which seemed irresistibly logical in the opinion of his shipmates. "There, my lads," said Jack, "what d'ye think of that? He swallowed the whole buffalo right I enough, but he couldn't digest the hide." As a matter of fact the carcass of the buffalo, unknown to these amateur makers of history, was still on board the Alceste. The following canards are as reliable as many statements made by untrained seafaring observers with respect to the flora and fauna of old ocean. It is said that a Jew who chanced to fall overboard with a stool and a bag of lemons was subsequently found in the stomach of a shark, seated on the stool and of- i ferlng the lemons for sale. Strange sounds being heard proceeding from a captured shark, he was opened without delay, and there were thus disclosed a man grinding an ax on a stone turned by a boy preparatory to hewing a way out of their living tomb. The man had been committed to the deep while in a state of 1 suspended animation, sewn up in a 1 canvas shroud, with the grindstone i as a sinker. His son leaped after , him, and both were swallowed by a waiting shark. There is a venerable story afloat of a shark that swal- 1 lowed in one gulp a man in armor. , There are not wanting writers who would have us believe that men 1 lose their lives owing to panic when 1 in the presence of a shark in his na- i tive element, but probably the re- , suit is equally against the man if he have all his wits about him. Never- ' tneiess circumsianuai accounts are ' in evidence of instances where the shark has been defeated by the man. At Jamaica, for example, a huge shark is said to have been a terror to frequenters of the harbor he affected. Once he overturned a boat carrying provisions to the shipping, and devoured the wife of the boatman. The maddened widower reached the nearest ship, seized a sharp knife, invoked the aid of his patron saint, leaped into the water, gave battle to the shark, despite the awful odds and succeeded in avenging , his wife by slaying her destroyer. At Barbados, similarly, if we may accept the report as authentic, a sea- ] man fought with and killed a shark that had eaten a shipmate. Young Maoris, male and female, were once proficient in the slaying of sharks in open water. They would swim into the surf, armed with a knife, dive < under the nearest shark, rip open their enemy and return to the shore.

A shark is very tenacious of life, and Dr. Gunther, the ichthyologist, has pointed out in one of his contributions to the literature of his subject that "wounds affect fishes generally much le*w .ian higher vertebrates. A Or inland shark continues to feed while his head is pierced by a harpoon or by a knife, as long as the nervous center Is not touched." A Norwegian Antartic explorer, H. J. Bull, gives a startling word picture of a shark's tenacity of life, This man-eater was caught at the Iceland cod fishery; his liver, heart and internal arrangements were removed, so as to put a period to his hi? mpppr and the thus mutilated body was then cast into the sea. He simply gave a leisurely wag of his tail and swam rapidly out of sight. The shark is comparatively clumsy in his movements and is compelled to turn over in order to seize his prey, and his many enemies are not slow in availing themselves of these peculiarities. In 1889 Captain Fraser, of the bark Thomas S. Stowe, when 100 miles west of the Galapagos Islands, caught a shark which had been carrying about in its body the weapons of offense of two sword fish. The latter class of sea dwellers are plucky fighters and occasionally break off their swords in the body of an opponent who would, jerhaps, rather flee than fight. An early missionary to the South Sea Islands, a Mr. Ellis, was Journeying in an open boat,* which was endangered by the unwelcome atten tlons of a ravenous shark. Tne shark seized the blade of an oar and shook the keel of the boat In an effort to capsize her. A boatman grasped the tall mf the finny enemy. The other members of the colored crew assisted in dragging the shark into the boat, where he was dispatched. A shark once served as a policeman, even, perhaps, against his will. In 1709 the brig Nancy was captured by a British warship as a suspected slaver, and her release by the prize court at Jamaica, where she had been brought for trial, seemed inevitable, owing to the absence of incriminatory documents. Curiously enough, the officers of the Abergavenny, soon afterward in the neighborhood. hooked a shark which was found to contain a bundle of papers relative to the Nancy. These were preserved, in ignorance of the capture of the brig, and eventually led to her condemnation. Sharks often attain to great size on the coast of Southern California. In 1906, apparently the largest on record was dispatched. He measured 32 feet from the tip of his tail to the end of his snout, and had a girth of 15 feet just forward of his dorsal fin. Two children of about six years of age were depicted sitting erect within the extended jaws of the slain shark, their legs dangling in space. A shark steak, properly cooked, is neither lightly despised nor ignored by a sailing ship's crew who may not have tasted fresh meat qr fresh fish for six months of leaden-footed hours, though some cannot forget that the shark is a man-eater by choice. Traveler's tales with respect to sharks (and the same may be said as to whales) will not stand the test of scientific analysis. ?Chambers' Journal. A Burning Glass In the Eye.?In the front part of each of our eyes is a convex lens of great power and clearness. It acts exactly like a burning glass. If a person were made to look at the sun, say for half a minute, his eye would actually start to burn up. The lens would focus the rays of the sun on the retina and that part of the eye would Immediately scorch and later wr? id burn to a crisp. This can happtn, however, only when one looks at the sun directly in a mirror. If one holds a pin between the sun and the eye and looks at the pin, although the sun Is in a direct line with the eye and although its rays are entering the eye, the eye is not hurt, because the rays are not focused inside the eyeball. This is the wonderful property the lens has, that of focusing objects at different distances. The means by which it does this is its power to change the curvature.? Chicago Record Herald.
