SHAH AFRAID IN DARK.
The Light Must Not Be Turned Off { .-.. Where the Persian Mon .-.. 1 arch Is, ...

When the shah called upon M. ,Curie in Paris recently, to see the wonders of radium, he did not like the idea of dark room. His grand vizier, relates the London St. James Gazette, suggested drawing the cur. tains of the room, but M. Curie per. sisted that blackness was necessary. Thereupon the shah called NJ. Paoli, the French detective protector of roy. alties, who, assured his majesty that there was no danger. So the party descended to the underground apart. iment in the hotel known as the safe room. NJ. curie began expounding the properties of radium. and then gave signal for the electric light to be switched of. Immediately a panic seized the shah's suite tsays the Chronicles correspondent. and all cried out. in Persian and French: Light! Light! Turn on the light" The electricity was switched on again, and the disappointed savant was forced to show his radium in a lighted room.

CATCHING A HUGE SHARK.
Mammoth Man-Eater Took for Bait Smaller Shark Just Hooked.

On hooks baited with chunks of a big sting ray, captured one day last winter in the lea of one of the Ba- hamas during stress of weather" !" three Bostonians, who were on a fla- mingo hunt in that part of the world, captured three man-eating sharks, says the Boston Globe. One of them was IA feet long, and was taken in a most singular manner Beginning at the tail of smaller shark held fast by one of the hooks, 1t actually de- voured its way along the body of that struggling creature up to the head, where 1t became firmly hooked and was hoisted aboard.
 The full reach circlewise of two of the sharks captors barely girdled this tiger of the deep, and after being killed 1t weighed 1,500 pounds. The man-eater shark attains an enormous size in tropical waters. the British museum having the jaws of an indi- vidual 36 feet in length, taken in Aus tralia. The man-eater, however, is an exceedingly rare species on the Atlantic coast. Prof. David Hum phreys Storer, the historian of the Fishes of Massachusetts" could learn of the capture of but three individuals from 1920 to 1860. One of these meas ured six feet in length. the second nine feet and third 13 feet.

CHINAMAN WANTED A WEIGH
Tried All Kinds of Coins on the
 Machine, But Couldn't Find One to Fit.

As he walked out upon the platform of the elevated station he attracted at. tention immediately, relates the New York Post. He was rather different from the ordinary Chinaman. There were the coiled pigtail, Tapping trou- sers and long, loose jacket, but his face was anything but Celestial While the usual Chinaman expresses only habitual stoicism this man beamed good humor and intelligent in- quisitiveness. Unaware that he was the center of attraction, he walked up to weigh ing machine and gingerly inspected it That he understood it's purpose was evident, for he reached down into a pocket and hauled out nickel, which he vainly attempted to insert in the slot This coin did not fit and he tried again with quarter. Still no success Evidently this machine of the Foreign Devil" required bigger sacrifice. A half-dollar was forthcom. ing. and just as he was inserting a folded dollar bill, the station agent rushed out and held his arm.

Chinese Sage Disliked Growing old,

They who carry the torch of progress make targets of themselves. Reform and persecution walk hand in hand. It is always so. It is the only way. You remember our Chinese sage, Chang Wu? Chang wu found one day among his disciples a beautiful prin- cess. She had come to propound cer- tain questions to the sage. but the old mans great age. his manifold infirmi- ties shocked her. She forgot her ques- tions. and kneeling. she gazed at Chang Wu fin silence.
 Daughter, said Chang wu. smil- ing. why do you regard me SO strange ly'

Forty-nine Equitable Directors File
 Answer to Charges.
 NEW YORK, Aug 26.--The Equita be Life Assurance society joined with the state of New York in asking for q full investigation in court of it's direct ors and officers and their alleged wrongdoings in managing the moneys of the society. The document which an nounced this determination was the answer of the forty nine Equitable di- rectors to charges made against them in connection with a suit brought against the Equitable Life Assurance society by the people of the state of New York. This answer was filed with Attorney General Julius M. Mayer.
 Admission is made that some ofh cials of the Equitable have been guilty of improper and illegal acts. In all eleven charges are answered by the di- rectors. Among these answers they admit the S25O,OOO loan to the Depew Improvement company. They admit the $695, 1000 loan of the Mercantile Trust company, but waive responsibil- ity in this loan so far as the board of directors is concerned and indicate Messrs. Alexander, Jordan and De- ming as the persons having the most intimate knowledge of these transac tions.
 The charge that excessive salaries were paid to officers of the Equitable is not directly answered, but admis- sion is made that under guise of sala- ries excessive fees were given to cer- tain Equitable officials who were also directors in other companies. In de- fense the answer states that these practices were not known to the whole board of directors.
 Outlining their belief as to the best policy to pursue in fixing the blame for the Equitable scandals, the directors say first that the blame for alleged cases of misconduct will be found to rest on individual officers and not upon the directors as a body. Having made this explanation, the answer then ad- mits in a general way the wrongdoings charged. Y.
