What Becomes of Pins?

BY a series Of experiments conduct

covered the answer to the conundrum,
What becomes Of pins?" He has
found that pins are resolved into dust,
Hairpins, which he watched for 154
days, disappeared by rusting away at
the end of that time. Bright pins took
nearly eighteen months to disappear;
polished steel needles nearly two and

endurance; steel pens at the end Of
fifteen months had nearly gone, while
their wooden holders were still intact.

Sharks and War.

The fishermen of the northern part
of the Adriatic sea are alarmed at
the number and size of the sharks
that have been caught there since
June. Three were taken in lstria
within few days, and a very large
one was caught lately in Quarnero.
The Adriatic fishermen declare that
these sharks are fish that have been
driven out of the Yellow sea and the
Siberian waters by the many frightful
submarine mine explosions. They al,
lege that since the beginning of the
Russo-JSpanese war the number OF
sharks in the Mediterranean sea has
increased steadily.
1t has been known for some time
that the Suez canal has been the
means OF bringing great many big
sharks into the Mediterranean every
year. The shark is a fish which will
follow a ship for days and weeks, once
he finds that a steady supply Of offal
Is thrown overheard. The amount
cast into the sea daily from big pas
senger steamship is SO great that it
would suffice for half dozen sharks,
greedy as these brutes are. There
fore, it is not strange that practically
every liner is logged 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 fill the Mediterranean, and
they desert the ship and stay there
after in the great interior ocean, to
the vast injury of the fishermen.
