Whilo securing the OCMO lor whales one of the littlo iteotnefl working from the Kyucitiot station landed a thirty foot ?hark. The "wo'f of the : e t" Is claimed to be one of the largest ever loon In northern waters and weighed Spproil mntely eight tons. The whaling steamer had been searching vainly for whnles for sev? eral dayi and the lookout had grown tired Of scanning the surface of the ocean. He was suddenly aroused to action by observing the dorsal fin of % monster shark cutting tho water about lN't> yardl on tho port bow. As the big shirks yield consiflerable oil, I the ship's oflJet rs decided to try for this one in view of the lack of whales. Running to with!.; thirty yards of the shark with tho boat, the gunner fired the harpoon from the gun and struck the monster at the Brat shot. After a terrific fight to hold the strug- 1 gling sea animal it was hauled aboard , and cut tip. the steamer resuming her search for the larger mammals. Officers of the Tees declare that the shark was the largest they had ever 1 seen. It was of the species common to the Pacific coast, but not quite so ! far north.?Vancouver Sun. EVER SEE A STOUT POSTMAN? In London, for Instance, Carriers Walk Over Sixteen Miles Carry? ing Forty Pounds. Ha9 it ever struck you why a stout postman is such a rarity? Tho ques? tion is worth attaution. A postman who In a busy London residential district walks from four? teen to sixteen miles a day, starts out in the morning with malls weighing something like eighty pounds. As his letters end packages are distrib? uted, the weight of his bag. of course, grows less, so that the average weight he carries Jurlng hi* trip is forty pounds. A pint of water weight a pound. A 10-quart pail weighs about twenty pounds, and the average weight the postman carries Is equal to two of these. If you want to know why postmen are thin, try a I'-mile walk with a 10-quart pail of water in each hand. The drive.* of a brewery wagon, on the other hand, is usually fat The reason is that he sits on the sc: t of his dray most of the day. and often consumes large quantities of liquid. Policemen, too. often grow fat through itandlAf about on their beats. ?Answers. London. Something Bey>r?H That Education is not c ?f Ideas cut of one's I them Into the heads - Gold Prcduftion Nearlng Maximum. From the present outlook in the gold mining industry of the world gold production will have reached its maximum within the next twelve months, and it is possible that 1911 will show a positive decrease, saya H C. Hoover in a recent article. Con? tinuing with a rorlew of the various' countries in respect to their future gold production, Mr. Hoover say^: "The placer gold of hit rope Wfl | IC tlcally exhausted in Roman times Lode mining there is a gmall in dustry and everv foot of grot nd 1* known, in Asia the Chinaman bai wHslu d thi rravcls from liana tc Tibet Mongolia centuries SgO.
