Of the Adriatic sea are alarmed Al

lege that since the beginning Of the
ausso-Japanese war the number Of
sharks in the Mediterranean sea has
increased steadily.
It has been known for some tine
that the suez canal has been the
means Of bringing a great many big
sharks into the Mediterranean every
year. The shark IS a fish which win

every liner is dogged all the way from
Asiatic waters by big sharks.
The Suez canal does not stop them,
and they stay with the ship till it
leaves the Straits Of Gibraltar. By
that time most Of them have found
the great schools Of funny and other
fish that I'll the Mediterranean, and
they desert the ship and stay there
