STRANGE RACES OF MEN.

Various theories have been advanced
as to the original home Of the great
races of Europe and the East, according
ia a wcl-informed writer in the current
Uarpcr's Weekly. We know in "A coner-
al way that the ancestors Of the inhah-
itants of modern Europe migrated from
the great plains Of Asia To the west But
here and there scattered in odd hooks
and corners Of the world. fragments Of
forgotten people still survive to puzzle
ethnologists.
The hairy Amos Of Yezo, the northern

an example. These white, bear-worship-

times is shark fishing" said George r..
Wilson. a planter of Honolulu Large
sharks abound off Honolulu harbor. and
fishermen may usually count on bring
ing back one or two sea monsters from
eight to fourteen feet long by going
three or four miles from shore The fish
may either he harpooned or hooked, the
latter method being the easier The
is more dangerous and more
difficult.
The shark fishers need a small launch,
"A dead horse, some harpoons or hooks
and some large calbre rifles. The horse
is sometimes killed a day or two before
the expedition, as sharks are supposed
To like their horse meat high The horse
is tied at the end of the rope and left
to float about sixty feet away from the
launch, and then the wait for the sharks
begins.
"A shark will usually show up in a
very short time. AT a distance of sixty
feet he is "A lang green object of IN
definite outlines. He approaches the dead
horse slowly until a few feet away and
then veers off to one side and disappears.
But he always returns. over and over
again, sometimes for an hour, he will
circle about the dead animal, seeming 10
be as supiciois any fox. While the
shark is making these repeated investi-
cations the bait is slowly drawn toward
the boat. When harpOOning is to be done
the bait Is arawn gradually closer until
the shark comes right up to the boat
Then the harpoon is plunged into him
and the battle begins He gets exhausted
by and by and then the rifles come
into play
''The sharks are more easily hooked
than harpooned. Many tourists who come
to Honolulu get up shark fishing parties
There are launches and assistants fol

fishermen who help, and a small sum
