The Greenland Shark.

The Greenland shark is we'll known
as a foe to whalers. 1t will follow a
dead whale to the ship and show no
fear Of the men while they are engag-
ed in cutting up the prey, biting out
Jumps from it as big as mans head.
Sometimes it happens that man will
fall off the slippery side of the whale
close by the shark. but the latter new
er attacks him, being intent upon gorg-
ing itself with the flesh of the ceta-
cean. The most severe wounds from
thrusts of the whalers' knives will
not persuade it to desist. This spe-
cies of shark is often partly or wholly
blinded by q parasitic worm three
inches long which fastens itself at the
corner of the eye and lives on its
fluids.
How Ssvases Came to Use Knives.
The first men. armed with the sim
plest weapons or with none at all, pur-
sued in the chase the animals that
served them as food and, being gener-
ally in a state OF starvation, tore them
to pieces with their fingers and de-
voured on the spot the flesh, raw and
bloody. In time they domesticated an
finals that assisted them In hunting
and invented the bow and spear that
enabled them to kill their prey at a
greater distance. The knife was In
vented as an instrument of attack OF
defense or for rough cutting and cary
ing and, being commonly worn on the
person. was found convenient in eat
ing and became in time an accessory
Of the table for reasons so obvious
that they require no explanation.

INDIAN CREMATION MUST STOP.

Some time ago the agent and other officers In
charge of the Yuma reservation asked the braves
to refrain from burning the houses of the dead.
J They showed how easy 1t would be for fire to
sweep over part of the reservation and put gov
ernment property in jeopardy
For time the Indians observed the request.
the Los Angeles Times says. but few days ago
celebrated the departure OF one OF their number
in the most approved redskn style. The personal
effects of the deceased were burned and his house
was set on fire. He was supposed to have arrived
in the happy hunting ground. ready for an enthu.
sastic reception.
But. inasmuch as the personal property of a
deceased person belongs to the heirs by the Cali
fornia law. there is doubt that Jealous friends
overstepped the law when they cremated every.
thing the dead Indian had ever owned
The practice Of the Yuma Indians in burning
their dead together with the possessions left BY
the departed braves. has aroused the federal au
thorities to action. While there wouldn't be in
reference with cremation-a religious rte-ths
officers declare that government property must
not be endangered.

For Proper Care of Tuberculosis.

According to the National Assoc1a-
tion for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis, New York state leads
in the number of beds for consump-
tives provided up to May 1. with 5,476
beds; Massachusetts is second with
2,403 beds; Pennsylvania, third. with
2,347 beds; Colorado, fourth with 1.4S9
beds; and New Mexico fifth, with
1,1O4 beds. AS yet, not one state in
the country has made adequate pro-
vision for it's consumptives. New
York has set itself the task of having
mo uncared-for tuberculosis in 1916"
and several cities in other parts of
the country have adopted similar pro
grams. The National association
says that tuberculosis will not be
stamped out until all cases of this
disease are cared for either in their
homes or in institutions. With this
end in view, efforts will be made to
increase the number of hospital beds
in this country to at least $4,000 by
May /, 1911.
