Of the numerous kinds of sharks

there are four in the front rank. These
are the sleeper shark, the man eater

iburk.
The sleeper shark, whvse nelcutitle
name (Soiuniosus mlcrocephaHis, meaning
sleepy small headed lisht iits it so
admirably. appears to have developed
Irs body at the expense of its brain, for
it is a sluggish, stupid glutton, about
six times as long as the average niau.
Its home is in tlte urctic regions, but it '
soi-Htluies makes visits as far south as
Massachusetts, Oregon au?i the Itritisli
isles, it is usually seen lying quietly a'
at the surface, apparently dozing, aaad
is easily approached by vessels, but j
sometimes when lauugry it rouses itself ;
ami goes in search of its prey, tlercely i
attacking and injuring whales. appar- |
ently unconscious of tlie great differ
once iaa their respective sizes. |<
One of tlae largest and perhaps the
naost foranhlahle of sharks is the "man
eater," or great blue shark (Carenarodon
cut'cliurius). it roaaatis tiirougli ail' '
temperate and tropical seas and iv
everywhere dreaded. Its maximum ;
lengtli is forty feet, and its teeth are
three inches long. While there are few I
authentic records of sharks attacking '
human beings, there have undoubtedly !
been many eases of sharks simply y
swallowing people who have fallen overboard.
just ats they would swallow
any other fotsi. How easy it would
be for a tiuin eater to devour a person
may lie indeed from the finding of a
wliole hundred pound sea lion in the
stomach of a thirty foot shark cn the
California coast. A eortnip man eater
thirty-six and a half feet loin; had |
Jaws twenty inches wide Inside and |
teeth two and a half inches lone. ! _
The basking shark, known also as
the elephant shark and hone shark ;
(Cetorliinns ina.xinms), is an inhabitant
of the polar seas, l?ttt is oeeasionally
observed its far south as Virginia and
California and some years ago was
not rare on the English and New England
coasts. It reaches a maximum ,
length of fifty feet and is exceeded in ?
size by ouiv three or four animals now
alive. Provided with small teeth, it
feeds on fishes and iloating erustaeeans
and is not of a ferocious disposition. It
is dangerous only because of its great !
bulk, and when attacked iis powerful v
tail easily demolishes small boats. The f
basking shark was formerly hunted on
the coasts of Norway and Ireland for
its oil. It was also sought on the ]
Shores of Massachusetts in the early
part of the last century, and many of
these sharks from twenty-five to thirty-eight
feet long were reeorded. The
liver of a large specimen sometimes
yielded twelve barrels of oil. f
The largest of all fishes, the largest
of all cold blooded animals ai d the
largest of all existing animals, except
a few kinds of whales, is the wlmle
shark (lthineodon typlcusl, originally '
discovered at the Cape of <5>od Hope, I
but now known in Japan, India, South n
America, Panama. California and elsewhere,
a specimen having recently been f.
obtained in Florida. This shark is
said to attain a length of seventy feet .
and is known to exceed fifty feet. St. '
