A SHARK PURSUING A SAILOR

SHARK PURSUING A SAILOR
belt As for something extra in the
rhark line. fish seventy and eighty feet
long. with two CT three barrelfuls Of
teeth as an o1tEt. were gamboling
along the coasts n schools. Half a
dozen such fish would have eaten up
everything In Noah's ark and then rub
bed their hungry bellies against its
keel. The shark Of today has got teeth
scarcely larger than a cats. and the
leg bones Of an old Jack Tar give him
10 end Of bother. and this seems TO
prove that in time be will degenerate
into a clam and be feared by none.
Way back in the dim past. when a
shark was full Of business from sun
rise to sunset. he had teeth three times
as large as any horse. and what he
couldn't bite was put aside for the chill
dren TO use when teething.
70 one exactly knows what the
whales mission is. but there is no
doubt that nature intended the shark
to be the seavenger of the sea. If she
didn't. be walked into the job just the
same and is holding it down in good
shape. Now and then an empty beer
bottle or an old rubber boot lodges the
shark and ome ashore at Coney Is
land. but this is an accident Ii is his
firm intention TO devour everything
finding its way into the sea. whether 1t
be a m~an-of-war or a poodle dog. and
he wastes no time in loafing about. 1t

history that the shark prefers c0rned
beef to the ~juiciest of sailors. This
may be so. but the trouble is to get the
beef TO him before be takes IN the sail
or. The captain of q ship always wants
to see the meat weighed out and paid
for before any experiments are tried.
While instances have been known
where men have fallen into the sea
among these yoracious fish and come to
no harm. other cases can be cited where
the victim had scarcely struck the wa
ter before he was through paying gas
bills forever. Sharks may have their
''oT days" the same as human beings.
We all know that there are days when
we turn away from watermelons and
long for something sour.

Food of Prehistoric Man.

Upon examining some skulls dating
back from the stone age Mr.. Charters
White, NJ. R. G. S., noted that several
of the teeth, although quite free from
carries, were thickly coated with tartar.
1t occurred to him that it would be
possible by rough analysis to identify
any particles of food that might be I'M
bedded In this natural concrete and so
reveal the character of the aliment
partaken of by prehistoric man. Dis
solving the tartar in a weak acid, a
residue was left which, under the NIL
croscope, was found to consist of corn
husk particles, hairs from the outside
of the husks, spiral vessels from vege-
tables, particles of starch, the point Of
fish tooth, a conglomeration Of oval
cells probably of fruit, the barblets of
down and portions of wool.
In addition to this varied list were
some round red bodies the origin Of
which defied detection and many sandy
particles, some relating to quartz and
some to flint. These mineral fragments
were very 1kely attributable to the
rough stones used in grinding the corn
and would account for the erosion of
the masticating surfaces which in
many cases was strongly marked. This
inquiry into the food Of men who lived
not less than 1000 years ago is mat
ter of great archaeological interest

to get good employee for almost any

are asking where to find a good serv-

can spell and punctuate and is general

intendents of great institutions every
where are hunting for good people to
fill all sorts of positions. They tell us
that 1t is almost impossible to find eff

There are hundreds of applicants for
every vacant place, but they either
show signs of dissipation, are rude or
gruff in manner, are slouchy or slip

That is proof that he has remarkable
staying qualities and that his readers

this is not entirely joke. But in all
sincerity he will say that he has endeav-
ored to be faithful to his trust and pub
lish paper that would be benefit to
this community in particular and the
world in general. The files of the NEWS
speak for themselves and tell Mr. Beck

of that record as whole, notwithstand-
ing he has made some mistakes-but
who has not made some mistakes during
the last eighteen years? In commenc-

not changed, and he wishes to repeat
the announcement which he published
eighteen years ago as follows:
