l.uIrTIAN BOOK or THE DEAD.

Tic Egyptian Book of the Dead" or
"Fur eral Ritual" contains, probably, the
oldest existing record of the faith of man
in the Immortality of the soul. lis chapters
are found inscribed on mummy eases or
written on rolls of papyrus within them.
The book recounts the experience of the
sonl after death, from its passage across
the land of darkness into the blessed fields.
10 its final Judgment and admission into
the presence Of its Father in the eternal
"dwellmg place of the prepared spirit"
The following passages show its ex-
press declaration of Il future life. THE

god reioices with life; The osiris rcioices
with If" It's they rejoice" 40 God, the pro-
tector of him Who brought his cry to thee,
he is thine, let him have 10 harm. let him
be as one of thy flying servants Thou

tic!c in Da$ Ausland, April 5. Two kinds
Of shark are found III this region, ScytHNS
borealiS, the Greenland shark, and Selache
,adr;no, or baSkiug shark II is stated
that these sharks specially frequent places
where sea currents meet and, contrary to
the assertions of many natuItlsts, assemble
in shoals, SO that boats engaged in tho
fishery are often surrounded By a hundred
. or more of these sea hyenas, greedy for
prey. The boats 2m 'oycl for fishing in
deep water are from twenty 10 thirty tons
burden, and carry five or six men, who OBJ

mes of oil from orc fish Forty years ago,

the business. In the Autumn Of that year
he began his shark hunt III Tereberskya
Bay throwing into the water kitchen waste
and excrenent This attracted 4 thousand
sharks, and many We're caught with hooks
baitcd With sea calves flesh, and Dispatch
ed With harpoons. Sui was prosperous
for some time but at last he was robbed
ani his tackle sunk. His example, how
ever, excited the peopl" Of Kola to take up
the occupation. The Russians fish near
the coast with small boats which can scarce
~ hold four men. Anchoring at a certain
distance from the land, they sink a vessel
pierced with holes, containing oil, tallow. or
other fat, which the sea currents distribute
in the neighboohood. This causes the
sharks to assemble, and they are caught
with baitcd hooks alta 'hel 10 iron chains,
as they could Instantly, bite through the
strongest rope. Three of the men watch an
opportunity of pulling, the fish toward the
boat and the fourth stands ready with
wooden hammer, weighing twenty pound,
TO strike with all his force the moment the
head appears. The fish is then cut open
by means of 4 knife with y very long han
die, the oil taken, and its swimming blad-
der inflated by long pipe. 1t is then cast
ndrift to float If allowed to sink, the men
say the other sharks would eat it, and not
care for the other Iait The long handle
of the knife is to secure the safety of the
operators hands from a bite by other
sharks that keep swimming round the
