Corrnrdice Of sharks.

Many tales have been told of how
human beings have been devoured by
the fish that is Known as the man
eater" Although many of these have
been greatly exaggerated, they are to
certain extent true. 1t is also true
that sharks have been known to follow
u ship for days, picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
as waste
Notwithstanding all this the coward.
illness of sharks is well known among
men who have been much to sea In
southern waters. The fiercest shark
will get out of the way OF swimmer
IL the latter sets up noisy splashing.
A shark fears anything that splashes
In the water. Among the south sea is
lands the natives never go bathing
alone, bnt always in parties of half a
dozen or so, in order that they may
make great hubbub in the water and
thus brighten away the sharks. Once
In awhile too venturesome swimmer
among these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and forgets TO
keep up his splashing. Then there is a
swish, and the man eater comes up
from under him like fash. and he is
gone.

BRUTAL HAZING,

The committee of Congfess which is
investigating the hsziDg OF Cadet Booz,
of Bristol, Pa, closed its hearing in
Washington yesterday with the testi.
mony OF one witness whose testimony
was as sensational as any that had pre-
coded it. He was F. H. Cunningham,
a teacher at the Hamilton Institute,
New York city, who formerly was a
cadet at West Point. He was the tent
mate OF Cadet Macarthur, a son of Gen.
Macarthur, and who was severely
hazsd, according to the testimony adj
duced at West Point, and he was also
supposed TO have furnished the material
for an article on hszing which appear
ed 10 New York newspaper.
Commenting on statement by Gen.
Ludlow that "college bsziDg and West
Point hszng" were the same, the wit
ness said: 81 refute that statement. l
went through college before l went to
West Point, and know there is moth
ing 10 the colleges like the hszipg at
West Point"
He described hazing as nothing short
of torture, exquisite torture. He gave a
graphic account OF the agony suffered in
certain forms OF hazing, which fairly
sent shudder through the listeners.
Men were hung on bsrs, their feet up,
so that when they dropped from ex-
haustion the knees struck on the wood
en- fl DOR several feet below. The fainting
man was again hoisted up and again re-
peatedly dropped from exhaustion,
striking on his knees. He gave 10 de-
tail the horrors OF the "sweat bath, +"
and related the suffsrings of Macarthur
from this form. of torture.
Cunningham said the object OF "call-
ing out" was to place trained upper
class man against an unframed lower
class man. The result was inevitable.
In conducting fight the purpose was
to cut up the face OF the lower class
man before knocking him out. An up
per class man had said to the witness
that certain fight was not correct be.
cause the lower class mans face was
not cut up sufficiently.
