How Sharks are caught.

The Anaheim (Cal.) Gazette says :
alt may not be generally known
that shark catching is one of the in
dustries Of Anaheim Landing. For
about four months every year the
business is carried on vigorously, and
proves quite lucrative, there being
no lack of fish on which to operate
and the oil finding ready sale. Mr..
Ramage Informs US that the shark
catch season has just commenced,
and that the fish are swimming into
the sloughs and creeks at The land
ing. On Friday oas man caught 10.
Large stakes are driven int the sand
at intervals along the beach. 70
these stakes is tied one end OF ing
rope; on the other end i, strong
iron hook, baited with fish. This is
thrown into the water, and when,
tempted by the bnt, he shark is
caught on the hook, be is drawn up
on the shore and killed. There is
sometimes very exciting struggle
during the latter operation. The
sharks are generally from 3 to feet
in length, and weigh about $50
pounds. OF course fish of that
sizs is possessed of considerable
strength, and it is not often that one
man can manage the caught monster.
At such times assistance is invoked,
end it occasionly requires the united
strength of four men to place the
victim on terra firma. Three kinds
of sharks are caught at the landing.
The leopard shark $50 named because
of its spotted appearanoe) and the
fiat shark are worthless, except for
their fins, which ara sold to China
men. The Mongolians make delic>
ious soup from shark fins, and 1T is
also said that they make excellent
combs frcm the same material. Each
oil yielding shark yields about gal
Ions of oil, which is sold at retail at
so cents gallon and makes an ex-
celient sheep wash"

Nuts for the Phrenologist.

The question as TO how far the
brain exercises an influence on the
motions OF animals has been engage
ing scientific men for years. Dr..
Broca was ameng the first to inves-
tigate the subject; he proved that
when man was deprived of the
faculty of speech by a stroke of apo
plexy, there invariably existed les
ion at the very same spot in the
brain, viz in the anterior regior,
and on the posterior side OF the third
frontal circumvolution to tho left.
Hence the conclusion that this was
the seat of the faculty Of speech IN
man, and thus one is led to conceive
a special place for every intellectual
action. Fritz Hfzig, Ferrier Car
Vile and Duret, the most prominent
among those who have treated the
question, operate as fellows: They
take off part of the skull of dog,
then apply electric wires to different
parts of the brain thus laid bare, and
watch the motions produced. Ger
tain points cause none, SO that it is
not the whole brain that acts on the
Muscular system, but only special
points. Terrier operated on mon
keys in the presence of the London
Royal Society. According as be
touched various parts of the cere.
brum, the ape would shake his fist
at the public, raise or scratch a leg,
or cut faces. 1t was shown that in
the monkey the centre of motion OF
the tongue answered exactly to that
to which the faculty of speech per-
tains in man. From all this it fol-
lows that the surgeon may now
know precisely the point of the skull
to which to apply the trepan. Thus,
not long ago, man was brought
into the hospital at st. Antoine. He
had received blow on the left tenn
pie, and, on coming to himself again,
could only speak with difficulty, and
then he would call fork an UNI
brella, lamp hat, and so on.
Moreover, his right arm was partial
Il paralyzed, The surgeon at once
knew what he had to do; be applied
the trepan to the proper spot, and
hit upon a piece of bone that COM
pressed the brain. This splinter
was removed, and the patient at
once recovered the use of his right
arm. A few days later bis tongue
was freed from all impediment, and
he left the hospital perfectly cured.
