$4,000 Pound Shark.

Sharks often attain a very large
size along the Pacific coast, espec-
tally off the shores of southern
California. Very recently, a mon
ster shark was captured by two
Italian fishermen in San Pedro bay,
that is claimed to be the largest
fish of that kind ever caught in the
world. Beyond doubt it is certainly
one of the largest ever captured any
where. When drawn out of the
water and killed, this sea monster
weighed IA, 900 pounds. 1t meas
ured from tip to tip 80 feet, and the
circumference of the body just for
ward of the huge dorsal fin was Is

% feet, while from the tip of the
snout to the point of the lower Jaw
it measured 81 feet; the huge mouth
being large enough for two children
to be comfortably seated therein.
The shark became hopclessly en-
mcshcd in some 1900 feet of the
fishermen's net. The net he speed
lily tore into strips, but in the giant
creatures efforts to escape, the
strings and ropes were wound many
times around its gills, and the
shark was held a fast prisoner.
Despite its long and frantic strug-
giles for freedom, the shark was
finally stranded and killed with
harpoons. The struggle lasted for
more than an hour. The monsters

by the creature. 1t made a long,
savage, and desperate struggle for
its life. The shark was skinned
and stuffed, and has been placed on
exhibition. Efforts, it is under

POINTERS ON HOW TO
STACK SMALL GRAIN

Careless methods of handling
grain in the harvest field are re-
sponsible for immense loss through
out the grain growing districts of
this western country. The thresh-
ing out of the shock plan of econ
omizing labor is at fault for much
of this loss and the damage of the
small grain crops Shock thresh-
ing grew out of presumed saw
ing of time and labor in handling
the large crops of small grains
grown in the newly settled districts
when harvest labor was scarce, high
and difficult TO get at any price.
Years ago it was the custom to
market all grain crops as soon as
thrcshed, for no storage acconmoda-
tions were provided on the farms
where the crops were grown suffi-
cient to hold the grain.
1t was in measure compulsory
to haul the grain to market as fast
as threshed and this plan encourage
ed threshing out of the shock. The
plan became popular in the earlier
years of grain growing in the west
and prevails to a greater or less ex-
tent today all over the grain grow
ing districts. The risk in permit
ting grain to remain in the shock
for an indefinite period, while
other harvest work is being done, is
too great to be encouraged on any
farm. Every day or half day after
the shocked grain is ready to go in
TO the stack and suitable weather
prevails this work should receive
preference over all other duties.
Stack the small grain as rapidly
as poSsible-as soon as harvested.
This is the only safe course to pur-
sue Well stacked grain does not
seriously damage in the stack, no
matter how wet the weather, while
the grain standing in shock is more
or less injured by every heavy rain
that falls upon 1t, and our Colorado
people know the kind of showers
and cloudbursts that we are likely
to have at any old time from now
on Besides the risk of wet wealth
er damage, there is a very import
ant curative process that all small
grains should be afforded while yet

ing through the sweat 1t is con-
coded by millcrs and those famil-
lar with the milling and merchant
able grading of grains that no
place is so well suited for this
curing process as that offered by
stacking. Grain that passes through
the sweat in the stack is always
preferable.
The highest ambition of the pro-
Queer should be to furnish the best
in quality of all products sent from
the farm. This cannot be done when
grain is thrcshed out of the shock,
even if the weather conditions
should be favorable for the 1ightest
per cent of damage from rain and
dust storms.
The experience of past years
certainly has been sufficient to
Justify this admonition to the care
less and those of much faith in
dry weather in August. 1t costs
the tiller of the soil enough to grow
crops up to the harvesting period
and all efforts should be exerted
to maintain this advantage unin-
jured. No one is so rich that he
can afford 1vasrefulness in a grain

DECREASING VALUE
OF GOLD EXPLAINED
Supply and Demand at Work With No
Silver to Act as Parachute
i'm the Fall.

1S4e, the parachute which broke
the fall of gold. What WOlowski
meant was this: Three hundred
million pounds sterling of gold pour
ing into Europe inflated our curren-
Cies and raised European prices,
and thus all the exports from Asia
were magnetised by those higher
prices which awaited them here.
So that the trade balances immedi-
ately turned in favor of Asia, thus
correcting currency initiation here
by melting up and drawing Eu-
ropes legal tender silver into the
east. But today in Europe there
is no longer any silver para
chute'' to break the fall of gold
because there is no longer any legal
tender silver to be taken away at
melting pot prices Throughout
Europe and America, therefore, the
metallic initiation of the next quar-
ter of century is likely to raise a
prOdigious clamOr on the part of the
creditor classes 1t is probable that
the legislatures of the great creditor
communities may be irnportuncd to
dcmonetize gold, and that the SUI

ity may be ascribcd to silver mono
mctaliism. And if this remarkable
Nemesis awaits the aforctirne f'gold
