THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, OCTOBER s., 1894

The method Of fishing there was to an
Choir on the edge OF a coral reef and throw
the heavy line into the channel; then.
when a shark was hooked. to cast or
the anchor and allow the fish to tow the
boat. One day I hooked a shark that
nearly ierked me overheard, and made so
sudden and might a rush that the line
was hauled over the side of the big boat
nearly capsizing her. But by good luck
more than anything else. the line was
gotten back to its place in notch in
the bows, and away We went at rate
that would equal the speed of small
launch.
For half a mile we rushed along never
catching a glimpse of our steed, and every
attempt at stopping IL or taking in the
line was met by an increasing and fu-
rous burst of speed. Ahead of us was an
eight-oared barge, coming out of another
channel, and signalling them, they laid
by in our course. AS we went by they
threw US a line, and, in moment, eight
stout rowers were holding US against the
man-eater
1t was only for a brief period the tug
of war was unequal, but while it lasted
the shark had the best of US towing the
two boats fifteen or twenty feet; then, as
the men made a supreme effort, the mons
ter made rush and broke the rope and
we never saw him to find out his actual
dimensions, though judging from other
sharks caught in the same way he must
have been a fourteen-foot man-eater.
This was vigorous sport, but hard work.
We often when fishing from a small boat
landed thirteen-foot man-eaters single
handed by allowing them to tow the
boat about, then taking them in foot by
foot, and SO towing them ashore.
The sharks are not so worthless as
they may appear. While they have no
value to Americans as food they are
eaten by the Chinese, as we have seen, the
Malay shark fisheries netting the men
$4,000 per year They are the scavengers
OF the ocean, and are among the factors
that Keep the ocean pure. In the South
Pacific islands the sharks have an impor-
tant economic value. Its skin is used on
shields, and its teeth in the manufacture
OF swords and dasgers-weapons so form
liable that cocoanut fibre armor is
worn in the battles where the swords are
employed.
The shark has earned for itself bad
name, but it is doubtful if a case of a
shark taking a human being was ever
heard OF along the North Pacific coast

BAPTISM BY WOMEN.
a Question of Church Practice Bother.
ing the Theologians of India.
From the Toronto Empire.

AAS VIC AA0OAOB1dnS india
From the Toronto Empire.
A curious question which has arisen in
India is, should women receive authori-
ty to baptize converts of their own sex ?
The matter is so pressing that the Cal
cutta Missionary Conference have dis
cussed and voted on it, with the result
that all the Scotchmen present supported
the proposal Since DR.. Thomas Smith
first suggested the plan of zenana mis-
sions, by which Hindu and Mussulman
ladies' ar, visited, taught and healed by
missionaries of their own SEX the number
of such ladies applying for baptism by
these teachers has become considerable
In some cases ladies of the Church of
England have baptized the converts when
on the act of death. But the question
now is not as to secret baptism, which
all protestants condemn. 1t relates to
women whose husbands and guardians
give their consent to their baptism, be-
fore the whole household in which they
are to continue to live. The proposal
is that one lady in every mission shall be
commissioned to baptize in such cases.
