Whether 1t was hammer heads or blue sharks
which had the affair at Acapulco am unable
to state But it is admitted that until rev
years ago one Of the finest bathing places on
the coast was the seaport town of the state OF
Guerrero. One day schooner laden with NOES
sailed into the roadstead, was struck by a
sQuall and capsiZed. All the hides were dumped
into the sea. Their pungent odor attracted a
school of sharks, which deVourcd them with
such relish that they never afterward deserted
the spot where they were all eaten. And ever
since no one dares to battle at Acapulco, for fear
Of being mistaken for hide and eaten up.
SHARKS THAT ARE FURIOUS FIGHTERS.
Our big shark on this coast has points OF re-
semblance with the porbeage OF the British
coasts and the mackerel shark OF New England
waters. All three species feed on mackerel, cod
and other fish, and they are a nuisance from their
habit of getting entangled in isherinens nets.
They will turn round and round, winding their
bodies i'm the net and tearing il in every drec-
ton When the porbeagie finds he is caught he
fights, and. his teeth are long and sharp, he
is a formidable antagonist. Woe betde the
fisherman whose arm or leg he can catch; his
hold is like that OF a bulldog. In British waters
fishermen lance him in the heart, and do not
consider themselves safe until he has wholly
ceased to flap his tail But the hercest por-
beagle will run rather than fight II he can dis
entangle himself from the net.

Ichthyologists have been to some trouble 10
account for the voracity of the shark. In the
first place, he has more teeth than any other
animal known, and naturally he seeks TO keep
them employed Then the shark is endowed
with enormous abdominal viscera; one-thrd or
his body is occupied by spleen and liver This
apparatus secretes unusual quantity or bic
and other digestive juices. and thus the appetite
is abnormally stimulated. 1t is said to be i'm
possible to satate a shark Moreover. the hsn
is so raVenous that ii bolts its food without
masticating it. Indigestion necessarily follows,
with its usual consequence in the shape OF
gnawing hunger. Quantities of ndgested 1000

parasites which are also hungry. The shark
