Fruit is cheap In America. Oranges

a necessity where they were formerly
luxury. But they have not displaced
apples. and Northern apples. at that.

Sharks swallow Their Young.

There is belief among fishermen
and sailors that the mother shark is
arle to protect her young when in
danger by opening her mouth and let
tirg them swim down her throat.
Many naturalists dispute the belief,
bus others uphold it. Living young
shirks have been found in the stom-
ach of large sharks after the latter
hive been killed, but it is not proved
that they were swallowed for the sake
OF protection. AT Port Royal, Jamaica,
In 1901, a white shark over twenty
feet long was captured by the sailors

Anchorina to Iceberas.

1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland
make at times wide difference IN
the direction of the drift of iceberys
and that of the fl: : or pan ice. which.
having no great depth, is governed in
its motions by the surface currents
and the winds. The icebergs, the larger
part of which are submerged to 6
great depth, follow only the move
ment of the ocean water as a whole
and are uninhuenced by the winds.
Thus a huge iceberg may often be
seen majestically maintaining its slow
advance in opposition to the wind and
across the general motion of the fields
of fiat ice su-runding it. The sealers
often take advantage of this 'act by
nooring their vessels to an iceberg
to prevent their ship drifting to lee
ward. The movement of these great
mountains Of ice is practically ire
sistible.

that if they will buy Defiance Cold

Starch is free from all injurious chem
