SHARK MADE QUICK TRIP

A prominent government Official
who has returned from a visit to
Palm Beach. Fla, tells about seeing
a huge man.eating shark that was
captured at that place. says the New
York Tribune. II was one OF the big.
gest sharks ever caught in Florida
waters and was evidently a sailor of
many years. The animal measured
over eighteen feet in length, had a
sword attachment that was as long
as an arm and was Of the leopard
variety, stamping II as one Of the
man-eating variety, dangerous beast.
The shark was caught by a shark
fisherman. He used a large rope for A
line and had wlndlass as a reel. AT
the end OF the line was a huge steel
hook and this was balted with a large
bright tin can. The shark bit at the
bait and was entrapped. He was
landed after the toughest time the
f5herman ever experienced. It was
the Interior Of the fish. however. that
excited the gTeatest interest When
he was cut open a whole porpolse was
found In the stomach There was also
a large piece Of partly digested shark
and the head OF an ostrich. The
piece OF shark inside the monster was
out OF the back and contained the
backbone OF the dead animal.
Deming graphic. (Deming, N.M.) 1903-1948, 1903-09-02

A careful examination showed that
the backhones were larger than the
backbones Of the captured shark. A
number OF scars on his body showed
that he had been in conflict with an
other shark and the finding Of a pleco
OF the adversary showed that the
conflict had ended In the death Of the
opponent; that the victor had then
swallowed a juicy portion OF his ad.
versary. The presence of the ostrich
head In the stomach of the man-eater
was regarded as undoubted proof that
the shark had probably Just arrived
In Florida waters from Africa, and
that he had made the trip In two or.
three days. The head was not digest
ed and the process OF digestion had
only just begun. There is only one
ostrich farm In Florida and when that
institution was communicated with
the owners said that they had not lost
an ostrich in year. The ability Of a
shark to pass a fast steamer In one
minutes time is we'll known TO trav.
elers. and there Is no doubt that the
shark had been in African waters and
had captured a stray ostrich or the
head Of one that had been killed and
then started across the Atlantic.
reaching the Florida waters before
the ostrich head had begun to digest.

MEN IN AN EMERGENCY

The woman tainted. and these are
some Of the things that the haif.dozen
men in the room with her did, says
the Baltimore News.
Two OF them made a dash for the
dining room to get water and fell

apartment.
One FASTENED to a nelghboring drug
store for a mixture OF yichy and am.

One appeared suddenly with a glass

where.
In endeavoring to raise the gas two
able'bodied and excited masculines put

ness for at least a minute, while every
one Of them fumbled in his pockets
for a match.
Four men famed the invalid with
music. handkerchiefs, hats or what.
ever was to hand.
One held a pot.pourri jar under her
nose under the mistaken impression
II would be revlvlng in it's effects,
though Il wasn't.
Another said, Here. dear" and
tried to wipe her brow with fan he
held, instead OF the handkerchief that

case Of the animal or vegetable. ex.
listing gold has existed in some other
state before assuming It's present
form. Waters which percolate
through the earth's crust are said to
contain substances from which gold
Is formed. Thus gold, like the animal
and vegetable. must have water In
order to thrive. The gold in the wa.
ter is deposited when It meets tho
proper precipitant. The preciptant
may be an earth current Of electricity
in the rocks.
II has Deen claimed that the aug.
gets found in placers are the forma.
tlons from the waters that pereolate
through the graves and are not from
decomposed quartz, as generally sup
posed Those who so contend otto
the fact that In the center OF nuggets
can often be found small grain OF
iron sand, This was the nucleus
around which the earth current OF
electricity created or deposited in
electroplating. During long ages this
influence was at work causing the
gold to form around the little grain
Of iron ore and then grow to become
a bright, shining nugget Of gold much
larger and purer than any ever found
in the veins of ore.--Chlcago Chron.

HOW GOLD NUGGETS GROW

Gold, in It's natural state, like many
other products OF the earth, Is an ar.
ticle Of development. What its orig
lnal elements are Is still a matter OF
some speculation, but the fact has
been demonstrated that a nugget Of
the precious metal left In It's original
environments win gradually, though
slowly, attract to itself particles Of
gold dust, and after the lapse Of years
possess an added value. Gold is
known to have grown on mine tim.
bers which have long been immersed
in mine water. In the California
state mining bureau museums there
is specimen Of a piece OF jointed
cap and post taken from tho Com.
stock, where II had been under water
for years, in which gold was formed
in the joints and pores of the wood.
Gold is constantly being formed In
ricks and veins and placers. Just

Here's a cheer to the weeds up-springlnr
And a song for deeds they do:
With their flags to the world out ninglng
They stand ready to fight II through;
And their dare Is as pert and singing
AS their courage Is proven true.
They are bullded for war and trouble.
And will neither lead nor drive.
Nov them down to a field or stuhble,
And II makes them but more alive:
Cut In twain, and their numbers doubla.
And double, and double. and thrive.
They laugh az plowshare cleaning.
And they tauntlngly smile at the hoe:
They lie down, II seems. past redeeming,
But In truth 50 both ends may grow
IL takes doing OF deeds not dreaming.
Not to win, but keep up with this foe.
Yes foe are the weeds worth singing
And foe for the strongest arms.
And for hearts whereto hope Is clinging.
And for love that cheers on and charms.
