SHARKS ATTACK SHIP.
Vessel Itself as Evidence of the Sea-
 mans Story.

Vessel Itself as Evidence of the Sea-
 mans Story.
 The metal on the sides and bottom of the ship w. F. Babcock, now in dry dock, tells a story of the sea that has few equals in its line. Above and be- low the copper line, where metal has been placed to meet the attacks of the sea germs that eat into the wooden sides, the metal is curled up in places by attacks upon the ship by sharks.
 Captain Bailey, who brought the ship from San Francisco to Philadelphia, with cargo of scrap iron, is not alone responsible for the story tod. A ship brought to a standstill for one day by sharks that extended in all directions to the horizon and followed by sharks for nearly three weeks at set is the story of the gnarled and curled plates of sheet copper that had to be torn from the sides of the Babcock when she was docked in Baltimore.
 Mate, spin us the yarn," was asked by visitors, who became interested in the explanation of the curled condition of the Babcock's bathing suit. And this is what he told:

We sailed from San Francisco No- vember 24, 1905. When on the passage in the Pacific our crew became worried at the multitude of sharks that were following the vessel. One night an aw- full splash was heard about the vessel as if we were in company with Ches- apeake bay sidewheeler. In the r1orn- ing we had a revelation. The ocean as far as the eye could reach was filled with sharks.
 They made charges against our sides and some skipped away with a piece of copper between their teeth. Their movements were so fast that we were satisfied they were going to hunt up the dentist. We had been making pretty fair teadway through this mass of live ly fish, when the breeze fell off, sud our momentum was not sufficient to force the vessel ahead. We lay besharked for twenty-four hours, it bsi1g impossible to go ahead. A light bre sze sprang up and soon placed us clear of our .onvoy. Baltimore Sun,

HEALTH IN SCHOOL L1FE.

[ "The effects of school Life Upon the Heath of Children" is discussed in the North American Review by Dr. e.. Woodruff Johnton. Investigations on this subject in the United States have been few, superficial and fruitless, but examinations made in Europe throw considerable light upon it. All the European investigations which Dr. Johnston makes the basis of his inquiry disclosed an astonishing amount of ill health among school children, the nor talty in school boys ranging from 20 per cent. in Great Britain, to 37 per cent in Sweden, and among school girls from 16 per cent. in Great Britain to 62 per cent in Sweden.
 Dr. Johnston enumerates the chronic conditions of which this sum total ol ill health was made up, and points out that the amount and degree of ill health increased, not with age in years, but rather in direct proportion to the number of work hours and to the irl- creased burden of studies, as progress was made upward from grade to grade. Dr. Johnston expresses the opinion that the results obtained from Euro pean Investigations must indicate the conditions which obtain in this coun- try. Many observers have remarked that the overworked scholar, notably in our high school grades, is of weaker fiber and has less well balanced ner- vous system than other members of the same family, of approximately thesame age, who stay at home. Dr. Johnston says:
 "The rapidity with which fatigue should itself is well illustrated by the experiments of Buergestein, who gave to a number of school children, in the first hour of the first days work in 3 week, a series of equally simple mathe- nautical problems, and who found that the period required for and the diffi- culties attending their solution (the lat ter as evidenced by the number of errors undetected by the scholar or dis covered and rectified by him) increased pari passu with the flight of time, adr reached their maximum in the third quarter of the hour of the experiment Conversely the readiness witf

 This conclusion of the committee was reached after three full days of consld- eration, following the exhaustive hear ings held in connection with the off, cial reports regarding conditions in the packing houses at Chicago; the state- ment of the packers and the represen- tation of the livestock raisers,
 The conclusion represents the judg- ment of nine members of the commit tee as against seven who preferred the Beveridge amendment, slightly altered, "A minority report will be made to the house.
 Representative Cromer of Indiana led the forces in the committee favoring the Beveridge amendment. He offered four amendments to the Beveridge amendment, and then moved its adop- tion by the committee in the place of the substitute which had been perfect ed. On this motion he was sustained by Representative Henry of Connecti- cut, Haugen of Iowa, Davis of Minne- sota, republicans, and Lumb of Vir' ginia, Bowie of Alabama and Chandler of Mississippi, democrats. Nine votes were recorded in the negative on this motion, and the substitute was then adopted by the nine negative votes on the other motion.
 The four amendments which MT Cromer offered to the Beveridge amendment are all contained in the substitute. They were: First, that ir the destruction of unfit meat products the destruction should only be for food purposes; second, that the inspection should be restricted to "continenta United States" and not extended to its possessions; third waiving the civi service operation for one year in the se' lection of inspectors. and fourth, ex. cepting the farmer and small butcher from inspection.

General and Mrs. E. S. Greeley Badly
 Frightened Last Night,
 The rowdyism which has been preva- lent in Temple street for a number of nights passed, was not in the least abated last night. The street in the vi- cinity of the freshmen row Is positive ly dangerous and the police have not been able to get sufficient evidence against any to make an arrest. Gen eral E. s. Greeley and Mrs. Greeley were the victims of an incident which might have proved serious. As they were passing in front of the row a torpedo was thrown from one of the windows and 1t exploded just in front of Mrs, Greeley. She was uninjured but was naturally much alarmed and frightened by the incident
 General Greeley Is very much in censed and appealed to the police, but as he did not know from what window the object was thrown no arrests were made.

fore he knew Of 1t, but he caught on

He asserted that Mr.. Jones had
promised that he would not sign the
license, but had later done 50 without
informing him. He threatened Mayor
Jones and all who stood by him with
political annihilation. When he broad
1y inhmated that the mayor was infiu-
