Savage Sea Monsters OF Over Thirty Feet
I'm Length Sometimes Caught.
The true man-eater shark as taken
on the coast Is known only as a man
eater. says writer in the New York
Tribune. The shovel-nosed sharks are
sand sharks, too cowardly to attack
even a yellow dog. A thirty-four foot
shark, recently captured by some fish
erm,n, of the true man eater variety
(carcharodon carcharias', seemed brave
enough and savage enough to alta TX
anything within its reach. This mon
ster's mouth was wide, the teeth long
and sharp, with an inward incline.
The stomach would I'D full-grown

The fish became tangled in net of

vicious creature and finally succeeded
in punching an iron into its vitals.
The side of one boat was stove by a
blow iorcible enough to knock one
overheard. These sharks have been
known to attack small boat, upset 1t
and eat the oarsmen. A man-eater
over forty-two feet long as been re-
ported lower down the coast. The ma
tives are said to live in fear of this
awful fish, which already has the rec
ord of having eaten six men. 1t has
been shot frequently. The water about
it has been disco.ored with blood.
Yet the shark lives.
The tiger shark is as ferocious as the
man-eater. Another large shark here
abouts is the basking shark. 1t is
taken measuring from fifteen to forty
feet in length The skin of one thittJ-
two feet long Is at Stanford University
museum. 1t was captured last March.
This skin alone weighs over 1900
olnds, while the sharks liver pro-
duced $50 gallons of oil. These sharks,
however, are sluggish, lazy and do not
bite people. Their gill rakers are on
the whale model. When entangled in
a net they frequently sufocate, as the
net restricts the gills. Cali ornia fish
ermen do not consider five-foot sharks
of much account when from San Diego
wharves b ack sea bass are caught six
to eight feet long, weighing 800 to 500
pounds. Such fish are common. They
are taken on shark hooks and clothes

Dsarming the Lightning.

The contin led and careful observa-

the remark made by the author OF

"that the majority of fatal and de-

Side laced CATERS were very popular
about 20 years ago They were neat fit
ting and always looked well on the feet
The process of lacing was, however,
very tedious, and when button shoes
were introduced they at once jumped
into popular favor because of their ease
of adjustment. The indications now are
that along with congress the side lace
is again coming into favor. The old
style. with the lacing running up the
center of the inside quarter viii appear
in most of the lines. but some of the
houses making fine goods are introduc-
ing a new cut of side lace
But one lace is used. At the lower
end the lace is carried over and over, as
in most mems shoes, through about six
pairs of eyelets- Above that the lace
zigzags over small studs and is caught
at the top over a Simpson clasp This
method entirely does away with the old
annoyance with 1aces and a lady can
fasten her shoes as readily as she does
her gloves. The line of studs follows
