difference of 5 to 10 per cent. is
made in the AK on estates inher-

as Charlie and Frank. They speak English
none TOO WELL but were able with consid-
cradle effort to tell how they captured the
monster of the deep.
1t seems that both the men were out to-
gether in their small boat fishing off the
coast in the vicinity of Aptos. They had a
few nets out and were patiently waiting
for school of sardines to come along.
1t was beautiful day and the small
boat rose and fell on the lazy-rolling
swell. There was very little breeze. and
both of the men felt the influence of the
warm sunshine that caused the atmos-
phere to quiver and glow with all the glory
of summer on the Pacific. The men
nodded and doZed and went about half
asleep, while their boat rocked IaziIy on
the surface of old ocean.

pull to Santa Cruz. But it was not hard
work to the men, who realized that they
had done very good mornings work.
Arrived at the wharf it took about
dozen men to hoist the shark 10 the
deck. Not until it was finally stretched
out and measured did the men realize what
a monster they had caught Like all of
its species the big shark was toothless.
Men who had lived along the coast for
many years said it was the biggest of its
kind they had ever seen.
The only part of shark that is of any
value is its liver, from which an oil is
tried that sells at high price. The liver
OF the one caught at Santa Cruz was cut
up into small bits and filled three large
barrels. 1t was the best days work the
two fishermen had done for many a day,
and the best they expect to do for many
days to come.

THE CAPTURE OF AN ENORMOUS BASKNG SHARK NEAR APTOS

The largest basking shark ever caught
on the Pacific Coast of which there is any
record was toTed TO Cowell's wharf at
Santa Cruz few days ago. In fact it
must be acknowledged 10 be one of the
largest sharks of the species that has ever
been captured. 1t measured a little over
30 feet, while the giants of the species
seldom attain a length of more than 35
feet.
The creature brought to Santa Cruz of
course attracted crowds, and the two
Italian fishermen who captured it re-
ceived showers of congratulations on their
nerve. According to their story they did
not get the shark without considerable
trouble.
The men who captured the shark are
professional fishermen known respectively

Frank and Charlie were most likely
dreaming of far-off Italy, where the blue
waters OF the Mediterranean Tapped the
hulls OF quaint fishing boats and rolled
around wharves old in story.
Suddenly their dreams were broken.
Where there had been peace was now all
commotion. Both men, frightened al
most out of their lives, jumped to their
feet and for few moments thought they
were caught in cyclone.
The water for yards around their tiny
boat was churned to foam. TT whale, {"

way of reminder that he was still alive.
The moment had come to end the life of
their prey and both men stood ready.
Each took boat hook and by gentle
touches managed to get the shark with
his head close to the stern of the boat.
At given signal Frank jabbed his hook
under the monsters throat and at the
same insta, Charlie plunged his pike
into its head.
Blood spurted in all directions and the
shark seemed to become endowed with a
new life. 1t plunged here and there and
bumped against the boat several times, al
most upsetting it But the struggle
lasted only short time and the shark Law

But it was not whale, and both men
ascertained this fact in very few mo-

Divine power is not exercised
to do that for which human power
is sufficient. Gods blessing on
the field does not do away with
the necessity of tilling the soil.
1t is the dilligent man, not the
slothful, who receives the bless
ing.
His blessing on the church does
not take the place of earnest,
faithful work on the part OF HIS
people. IL is when they do the
work given them so that He sends
forth His power and causes the
work to prosper. The divine
blessing resting on the worldly,
idle church would be as hard to
find as a good harvest in field
