England Experiments in Feeding Under

In England the question of feeding
school children is being discussed, just
as ii was debated in this city not long
ago. The Countess of Warwick con
tributes an article to the Fortnightly Re
view in which she says that hundreds of
thousands Of children are passing
through English elementary schools with
little other result from their education
than opthalmia, spine curvature, nervous
irritabiIity and the seeds of consumption.
In one school in very bad district
go per cent. of the children are unable,
by reason of Their physical condition, to
attend to their work in 4 proper way,
while 33 per cent, during six months of
the year, from October to March, re-
quire feeding by the authorities
A school inspector estimated the num-
Der of actually underfed children in Lon
don schools as approximately 1872 900, or
Is per cent Of the elementary school
population. This does not cover the num-
Der Of children improperly fed.

Caught Big Shark on Fish Line.

While fishing off the terminal dock
about noon yesterday n. Gonzales
hooked au eight-foot shovcl-noSe shark
and drew it up to the dock with an or
binary fish line.
The monster was easily drawn ia and
made but little resistance until n heaving
line was thrown over him and the slip
knot began to tighten, and then the fun
commenced. The water was dashed into
foam for many feet around and the
strength of several men was required to
prevent its escape. Two boat hooks were
finally brought into play on the back
and sides of the big fish and ve1y soon
it was conquered and hauled ON the dock.
1t was hideous and frightful looking and
was viewed by numbers of people i'll the
afternoon.-Miami Record.
