Jersey Coast.
New York, Sept. THE entire Jer.
sey coast, from Sandy Hook to Cape
May, lie infested with man-eating sharks
this fall. This statement is made up.
on the authority of Director Townsend
Of the Aquarium, who is fitting out an
expedition to capture some of these big
fellows and exhibit them in his tanks
Since the middle of August fishermen
have reported the presence of huge
man-eaters in adjacent waters. They
seem TO have come north from the
gulf and the Caribbean sea, driven
thence by the great storms which lash
cd those waters into fury. Coasting
vessels have run into schools Of enor-
nous sharks. These are baskins
sharks, 20 to 25 feet long, but harm
less; man-eaters, 16 to IS feet long,
and huge hemmerheads.
The continued roughness of the wa.
ter along the coast has prevented these
creatures from approaching shore with
in mile or two, to which fact may
be credited the continued safety OF
'bathers along the New Jersey coast.
The sharks which are now swimming
Just outside the line of breakers are

being Of the true man-eating variety,
able to bite mans leg off and de-

He has offered as high as $3.50 apiece
to fishermen for specimens, but the
fishermen are afraid to try catching
the creatures. Consequently Mr.. Town.
send has fitted up floating tank ship
which Will be used to bring captured
sharks here. Great pound nets will
be used to catch the huge fish and it

THE CONSULAR SERVICE

The reported policy of the President
in the matter of consular appointments
is to be commended. The consular
and diplomatic service requires men
of training and experience to secure
the best results for the Government,
and the service itself is the best train
ing school. Promotions should be
made from the ranks when advisable,
always guarding against the promotion
of men whose long residence abroad
has served to so greatly ALLEVIATE them
from their country as to fill their
minds with ideas that are not whole
somely American.
European governments train then
80 and foreign representatives as
carefully as they train their army OF
naval officers. The United States has
been too much in in the habit o.
chaning it's consuls with each change
of administration. Men who have
never been away from home, who have
no experience and who are unable t.
speak the language of the country t.
which they are assigned, are sent t.
important posts where it is not posi-
, BILE for them to perform efficient ser
vice in the beginning.
The growing Importance of tn
, United States as commercial natiol
l and as a world power increases tn
Importance of it's consular service, an
for this reason the capable and expe
rienced men should be selected with
not regard to politics.
