IN many Of the tropical ports is quite

IN the navy having been attacked BY
1 shark in these waters, fact not SO
remarkably when it is also learned
that there is no record of any one
having exposed himself The closest
call, perhaps was that of well-known
lieutenant commando who took a
dive into the bathing pen at the same
time that this small Enclosure was oc.
eupied by a fourteen-foot man-eater.
The bathing pen is thirty-by-thiTty
rallied in space on the shore OF the bay
that was built with the ostensible
purpose, not Of keeping sharks in but
Of keeping them out. An unusually
high spring tide, however, flooded the
top rail to a depth OF couple of feet
or more, and during the period OF
submergence the big shark in some
manner nosed his way in and was led
captive when the water subsided. The
water of the pen was murky from the
action of the tide on the bottom but
there was nothing in its dull trans
ncence to awake suspicion in the
minds of the half-dozen officers who,
hot and dusty from a twenty-mile
ride into the interior were preparing
for dip The commander in ques-
tion--a man noted for his nervous
haste of doing things well ahead
Of the others in stripping for his
plung circumstance which was en-
tirely responsible for his having had
to bear alone the shock of the dis
covered that the pen was already oc-
cupied. With snort of contempt for
the slowness of his companion, he
sprang from the rocks and disappear
ed under the cool water in a long,
deep, comfortable-looking dive. An
instant later the pen was a vortex OF
white foam, in the midst of which
whirled the white shoulders of the
commander and through which cut
with lightning slashes the black DOR
sal and tail fms of the big shark. Yell
ing like a Comanche, the frightened
swimmer reached the outpalings at
the end of a half-dozen desperate
over hand strokes, clambered over the
barrier, tumbled into the water be-
yond, and, wide-eyed with terror,
started right off toward the open sea.
When he was finally recalled to the
bank, it was to declare that the pen
was literally alive with sharks, and
not even after the ubiquitous man
eater, riddled with bullets from the
reyolvers OF the officers, harpooned
by some fishermen and lassoed by |
some cowboys, was hauled out on the
beach, could he be made to believe
that the score or more of its fellows
among which he imagined he had
plunged had not escaped. lnasmuch
as frightened shark has never been
known to touch so much as piece
of raw beef, the impetuous comman

Dr. William M. Starr, medical
botanist, died the other day in Wash
ington after living to be more than
100 years old. Before he died he gave
the following longevity rules to which
he attributed his wonderful good
health since childhood:
81 never ate as much as l could eat
at any meal in my entire life.
81 never drank intoxicants Of any
kind.
81 have never used tobacco in any
form.
81 have never taken more than half
a glass Of ice water at once.
II never drank ice water after meals,
thus paralyzing the digestive organs.
II have never gone in water above
my head. A mans head has no more
business under water than fish has out
Of it.
81 early learned what foods were
injurious and those which assisted ma
ture in its work. always avoided the
former.
Il have never remained in draft
when overheated.
81 eat only two meals a day.at 8
a. M, and 4 p. M

PROF. DONOVAN AND THE
PRESIDENT

Prof. Mike Donovan, once some
thing of a pugilist, but more recently
an instructor Of boxing, has not al
ways championed the presidents
cause. When the episode with Dear
Maria" came up, nothing was heard
from Donovan. Nor did the former
pugilist feel called upon to add his
testimony when the president had his
little bout with the nature takers.
Even when the campaign against the
wealthy malefactors rather stirred
Chancellor Day to heated reply, Prof.
Donovan was absolutely silent. But
when some of the Roosevelt critics
denied that the president during his
college days was the champion boxer
of his class in Harvard and intimated
that the executive didn't know thing
about handling his dukes Prof
Donovan was moved to say:
II don't know anything about Mr..
Roosevelt's schoolday bouts, but it a
sure thing that Hanks, VINO said Mr..
Roosevelt was not Harvard champion,
or anybody else for that matter, would
do we'll to think twice before he puts
on the gloves with the president.
"It is true that Mr.. Roosevelt is a
little near-sighted. If that were not so
don't believe I would go near the
White House because it would be all
Roosevelt and to the hospital for Don
ovan. Although he is near-sighted, the
president is better than the average
amateur boxer. He Is one of the
cleverest big men ever saw. was
nearly all in every time. The presi-
dent can stand more violent exercise
than the average athlete, and when it
comes to using his fists-well, l for
one will never take any chance with
him. Every blow he lands hurts. In
action he is a, regular threshing ma
chine, and it is hard to get out of his
way"
The nature takers, the members of
the In Bad" club and the "malefac-
tors of great wealth" then, according
to Professor Donovan, are entitled to
hold whatever views they please as
to the presidents policies and the mo.
tives that actuate these policies, but
if anyone believes the first man of the
iation is slow in the manly art he can
take it from Donovan that he is
wrong
