LAGOON SHARKS. Aitutaki Islanders Catch Them by the Tails With a Lasso. The island of Aitutaki, one of the Hervey group, in the Pacific, is surrounded by islets underneath which are submarine caverns, the home of sharks. The natives classify them as lagoon sharks, which arc quite ferocious at times and spare nothing they can seize. The lagoon shark, about six i'eet long, i- esteemed a delicacy, and the natives supply their h .>t.- with the 1 >ofhsome dish by a :v:iiarkai?!e >iy:e of fishing. Arrived over the c:nrar.ee to the shark cave, the fi-her;nan leaves his canoe to the tare f li"s c urpanions and dives to the bottom, carrying with hi::: a slipknot of strong cord, lie t v oets to find two or three .-hark-* at home, well sati-iied and drowsy after feeding in the lagoon, with their tails toward tlie entrance. Selecting the larm t, the diver adroitly adjusted a noose over the tail, taking care that it hangs i 1_.

The astonished sleepers beneath suddenly find themselves as- i cending tails first to the surface. I Once inside the canoe a smart blow from an ax between the eyes or on the nose ends the career of the fish. One of the most successful shark | catchers at Aitutaki was Reubena. Long practice had made him almost amphibious. One morning he start ed off with two companions to one of the more distant islets. On entering it Reubena found several sharks lazily -resting them- J selves. In a trice a slipknot .was | skillfully passed over the tail of the nearest shark without exciting its ire. The 6hark at this critical juncture moved so that there was not room enough for Reubena to get out. He gently stroked the side of the shark and succeeded in inducing it to move away so as to 'permit his ! exit. This operation is said to be very agreeable to the fish, but if -11 V 11. - inrouga nervousness me suuxs. ue stroked the wrong way its anger is sure to be excited and the diver's life would be the certain forfeit. Reubena was making his escape when, to his dismay, another large shark came back from feeding in the lagoon and blocked up the cn- j trance with his unwieldy body. To get out now was impossible, for even Reubena dared not stroke the head of the monster. The captive fisherman waited, hoping the shark would go farther in as to leave the opening free. The huge fish did not move. Reubena's agony became intense. Second^ seemed to bo hours. At last the shark passed on quietly into the interior, and Reubena was barely able to get out of tin- cave and ri-e to the surface.

Getting at the Facts. A shrewd old Vermont farmer went into a lawyers office the other dry and proceeded to relate t! o circum-mmes in a matter about which he thought it would he profitable to ' <,0 "You think I hev got .1 good case ?" ho finally asked. "Very uoc.J indeed." the lawyer assured him. '"You should certainly l>rin-ait." "What would your fee ho for the whole thir..::" the old fanner asked. "Fifty dollars," was the prompt response. 'Ilie el'cnt pulled out an old wallet, extracted a roll of bills and counted out ?30. "Now," lie said, "you hev got all you would get out of this case anyhow, co s'posc you tell me honestly 1 iust what you think my chances of vrinnin' a suit are." Jolts For Mr. Graytop. "1 feel young," said Mr. .Graytop,; '"and fondly 1 fancy that I look youug, but every now and then I: get a jolt. "As when sometimes a young j man in a car gets up and offers me , his seat. "'Or when some well meaning; young truck driver holds up for me ! on a crossing and looks down and swings his head and says, 'Go ahead, old man" "But the worst came today when, in my own street, a young Italian as I was passing looked down upon me from the lofty summit of a load of waste paper he was stacking on a .wagon standing by the curb and aaid: " 'What time, papa?'

It will come as news to most peo; pie that science has invented in; struments that go two degrees beyond the most powerful microscope (l in detecting small objects. The C first of these is known as the ultra ? violet microscope. This takes advantage of the fact that a photographic plate can often see things 11 that the human eye cannot, and for ; ^ the following reason: Tilings cannot roiled light and ' consequent'*. cannot be seen that s 1 -- . >. , a aro smaller than liio smallest wave j length 01 Jig!:i that falls on them, i ' Yioh-t light i; the smallest that can a be p'.?iblv seer, with the human eye. But there exists a much smallor wave length in the ]>art of the f< sped rum i:o; visible to the c\V call- | ' cd the ultra violet light. This lias i the peculiar property of affecting <\, . photographic plate just as any other" a light would, so that v,e get a true j1 picture of the inmuteoybject that is I under examination. ~ i V [ Thus .the deficiency of the eye is | made up for by a mechanical inven- | tion of the human brain. This ul- .. tra "violet light, though not detccta- I' bl^bylhe human eye, is easily seen I by. small animals and insects. It q : has been tried with great success on :i ants especially. With this ultra vio- a ! let microscope the smallest objects s, that can be photographed with defi- '7 niteness of dimensions are brought a out with wonderful distinctness. But there is one other instrument ~ that can detect much smaller ob- a jectsg though their shape or size cannot" be seen, and that is known as ^ the ultra microscope. This takes g advantage of the-fact that a small li object will .scatter any light that ^ falls on it. To make the meaning & clear, all-of us have noticed a beam *j r\f lirrVif- or>foT>in rr a rnnm full nf 7i Vi U 1 VVLU 1U11 V* floating dust particles. We see only a the 'dust particles in the beam of sj light. The reason we see them is 71 because each little particle scatters a the -light that falls on it in all directions, and some of the scattered light enters the eye. a This is the principle on which the ultra microscope is based. Light is ^ made to fall on the object in such a a way that none of the direct light can enter the eye. Then the particles appear as small points of light. ? In this way it has been proved that 0j the coloring in red glass is not diffused, but consists of thousands of w little red particles close together.? ^ St. Louis Republic. f< Got a Prize. ei Werthcimer. a London art dealer, a was one day passing through May- t i< fair when he noticed a sale about to 1 take place of the "furniture and !
