The Great White Shark.

The man eating fish par excellence IS
the great white shark. 1t Is otherwise
known by the name of man eater. Oc-
casionally specimens are seen on both
coasts Of the United States. though its
more customary habitat Is In tropical
waters. This frightful creature attainS
a length of nearly forty feet, and 1t Is
able to swallow man whole This
fact is proved by an experiment which
sailors are fond Of making when such
a shark is captured. The skull being
preserved, they amuse themselves by
crawling one after another through the
distended jaws. 1t would be unsafe to
do this, however. when the head has
been freshly cut off. because under such
conditions the jaws will snap together
fercely for some time afterward II
anything Is placed between them. The
skull of big shark. by the way, is al
ways salable owing to the demand by
museums and curiosity hunters. A
young sea lion weighing a hundred
pounds has been found In the stomach
of a white shark.
