' SOME GIANT FISHES. Four Kin?ln of MiurKu Wlilvti Sluud lu the I'roul Haul. For Niir. Of the numerous kinds of sharks noteworthy uu uircunt of their si*e there are four in the front rank. These are the sleeper shark, the man eater Ki.iii W I lit> Im .V'iii" mIiiii'!: mill 1 tin \vIimIi? 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.

In a clean, healthy body (here are apt ' to lie a dean soul and mind, especially If a will that has been properly train- ; evl and educated dominates the whole 1 life. I'eople should be as ashamed of being sick lest death should overtake ; them as they are of being caught in crime or wickedness of any kind.
