SAILORS AND SHARKS.
Two Facts Not Generally Known by Those

Two Facts Not Generally tNnown by Those
Unac4uainted with the Sea.
Two facts that may seem somewhat
peculiar 10 shore folks, said an eN-
sailor of the navy. are. first. that only
about one-half of the man-o' wars
men in our service or in any other ser.
vice, in fact, know how to swim. and.
second, that sharks are the most COW
ardly of all living creatures Il IS ODD
that so large proportion Of the naNa!
sailors don't Know how te swim. hut
II IS probably due 10 the faet that
great number Of our wars
men nowadays come from the interior
of the country. where there IS no watei
for them 10 learn how 70 swim. In
the old navy and 1 put al Of my ser

just had to swim. OF course the men
wouldn't let fellow who didn't
know how te swim drown before thei-
made hard stab az the art of swim

didn't succeed in swimming the frs
time. overheard he Would 20 the very
next time all hands took a plunge Owe

all of the men SERVING ou the cid lin.
of packets became swimmers before
they left the service Il Is forbidden
to throw a non swimmer into the water
now, bat think it would De a goOd
thing II The practice were stil con
tlnued. The officers Of The ships to-
day iusis upon the apprentice lada

landsmen go along without learning
There have been numerous drowning
incidents in our navy within recent
