If there ever was il lingering doubt in

The intricacieS of the convict labor
problem are encountered every time the
attempt is made to inaugurate Il reform
in the old methods of handling convicts.
The recent attempt of New York to EN-
ploy all prison inmates sentenced to
hard labor upon the public highways
and in the production of articles for use
in state institutions is in q measure sue
cessful, but it does not remove entirely
the objection that self supporting wage
workers must still compete with convict
made goods, The trouble arises from
the fact that articles manufactured in
other state penitentiaries are sent to
New York for sale, or bought by New
York consumers at the place where they
are made, thus coming in conflict with
the smaller lines of trade in that state.
of a uniform law regulating the sale of
cOnvict-made goods in all the states of
the union. Until some uniform legisla-
ton is secured the states that are fore
most in the prison reform movement
must suffer at the benefit OF those which
are most backward. AS uniform lcgis-
lation must remain for the present a
remote possibility, the question of prison
reform and convict labor will require
considerable hard study and experiment
tation before satisfactory results can be
achieved

Remember how the sun

Sharks Fear Noise.

The cowardliness of sharks is we'll
known among men who have been
much to sea in southern waters infested
by man eaters. The ~fiercest shark will
get out Of the sea way in a very great
hurry if the swimmer, noticing its ap-
proach, sets up a noisy splashing. A
shark is in deadly fear of any sort of
living thing that splashes in the water.
Among the south sea islands the ma
tives never go sea bathing alone, but
always in parties Of half a dozen or so
in order that they may make the great
est hubbub in the water, and thus scare
the sharks away. Once in awhile q too
venturesome swimmer among these ma
tives foolishly detaches himself from
his swimming party and momentarily
forgets to keep up his splashing. Then
there is a swish, and the man eater
comes up beneath him like a flash and
gobbles him.

Where the Crabs Come In.

When a school Of menhaden make
their way into a bay, they may stay
for days swimming around in one re-
gion. Larger fishes, including perhaps
some sharks. feed upon them there.
From such feeding there are more or
less fragments that sink down through
the water, and the various crabs and
other c~rustaceans come scuttling from
all parts Of the bay to get them. 1t
may be that the tide carries some of
the litter about, or perhaps the crabs
and other creatures smell it, as bluefish
scent the bait that is used in chum-
ming. but when a school of m%enhaden
are preyed upon at the surface all the
crabs in the bay congregate on the mud
below to catch the crumbs that fall. -
