found some lowly microscopic algae

ferns, which soon began to appear.

THE JAPANESE SHARK.
Supposed by Sons to Be Survival Ct
an Ancient Snacies

Supposed by Sons to Be Survival cf
q Ancient Species.
IN a recent number Of the Japan
Advertiser there is a notice ct the
capture Of additional specimens Of
thedeepwatershark, Mitsukurina.
Stundents Of fishes. says Science,
will recall that in 1898 Dean Mitsu-
kuri, on the occasion Of his visit to
Washington as a delegate to the in
ternational fur seal conference,
brought with him a shark which
caused considerable comment. This
specimen had been taken in deep wa
ter off the bay of Toxic, thenit came
into the hands of Alan Owston, aresi-
dent naturalist of Yokohama, and by
him it had been presented to the I'm
perial University of Toxic. It was
described by President Jordan as
Mltsukurina owstoni, andregarded as
the type Of a distinct family oflamoid
sharks. The form was evidently
from deep water, and structurally it
seemed to be a close ally Of Odontas-
pis-so close, indeed, that we are still
in doubt whether DR.. Jordan was JUS
titled in regarding it as representing
a distinct family. Of general inter
est the specimen certainly was,
however, from its grotesque appear
ance.
But the feature which gave it. spe-
cial value to the student was its re-
semblance to the shark of the creta-
ceous period, Scaphanorhynchus,
generally assumed to be extinct.
Was it possible, then, that this Gre
taceous shark was still living in Jap
anese waters? And if this were true,
might it not occur in other deep sea
regions, like its more ancient relative,
Chlamydoselachus? Thus we find
that Dr.. Arthur Smith Wood
ward, of the British museum, COM
menting qs99) upon Mitsukurina, is
distinctly Of the opinion that the new
genus was but a synonyme for the
c%retaceous shark. Nevertheless, we
have to admit that the characters of
the fossil shark are as yet too imper-
fectly known to warrant a definite
judgment, and the safer course, there
fore, is to acknowledge for the pres
entthe validity of the name of Mitsu-
kurina.
The note in the japanese paper an
nounces that more specimens Of this
shark have been taken, and we have
promise. accordingly, that better
anatomical data rlay be looked for.
For one thirgit now appesrsthatthe
specimen first studied was an imma-
ture enc, 10 examination of the soft
parts having been made. The latest
specimen in the hanGs Of Mr.. DIVISION
measures, mirabile dictu, about 10
feet in length, and lis weight is csti-
mated at between 400 and 500
pounds. This extreme size, it will at
once be seen, ranks this shark as one
OF the largest members Of the icthyic
fauna, and it is possibly the most for
midable member CT the community.
The depth at which the specimen
was taken is not stated, Iut from the
condition: Of fishing near Numazu,
thefish wasapparently taken in water
deeper than 30Gfathoms. Asasymp-
tom Of its living at a great depth one

THE CHAIN-MAKERS.
Women at Work in the Neighborhood
of Manchester, England.

Topsy-turveydom prevails in the
Black Country, not only in the reel
ing houses, but in the domestic ar
engagements, for there the poetical
idea, ''Woman of the hearth" has IN
Interpretation not contemplated by
the poet.
The "hearth" is the tiny, often Ii
lapidated home smith in which
daughters, wives, mothers and even
grandmothers toll from morn till
eve, heating, hammering, shaping
and welding chain links, says the
London Leader. Practically all the
small chains below three-eighths
inch in thickness'are made by women,
less than so men being employed on
small sizes, whereas the women
smiths number in the Cradley dis
trict alone at least a thousand. It is
a queer industry, for the most part
hidden i'll out-of-thc-way corners, the
shops mixed up with primitive and
neglected outhouses. Unless the
constant ring Of the anvil aroused his
curiosity the unobservant visitor
might traverse the place all day with
out %suspecting the existence Of this
really enormous industry. Yet he
could hardly enter a court or alley in
any direction without stumbling
upon a chain shop. In many of these
six to eight women and girls are en-
ployed-four OF five is a common
number. In one yard alone, appro-
priately named "Anvil Yard" there
must be forty or fifty people at work
when the place is in full swing. In
one shop a youth and a girl Of IA to
16 will be found bending over sepa-
rate anvils and hammering away at
heated chain links, while a few yards
away grandfather and grandmother
are performing exactly similar opera
tons, as they have been at almost
anytime during the last half century.
One couple, Joseph Parsons and
his wife, are both over 70. The hus-
band has made chains continuously
for co years. His chief trouble is
that the prolonged use of the hammer
has SO cramped and distorted his
right hand that he can no longer
WELD it as of old. It is a pathetic
sight to see the old lady, silvery-
haired and her tall figure already
bowed with age, STOPPING over the
anvil. The old man explains that if
he works a full week at nine hours d
day he may possibly clear lbs. TO 13s.
eGIeeds," the small cinders used for
heating, as he explains, are dear, and
half a crow a week has to bededuct-
ed under this head. MI. Parsons has
several children and grandchildren
the trade. The old couple have now
only Themselves to maintain, and out
Of their combined earnings can just
pay the rent Of their little cottage
facing the smithy and buy enough
food.
