KILL SHARKS FOR FUN.
Kanakas Can Whip the Man Eaters In
Fair Fight.

q Fair Fight.
In the Pacific ocean lives a race OF
men who outswim fish and who can
kill man eating sharks in fair fight.
They are Kanakas. the seamen who
are natives Of the Hawaiian Islands.
"A native can whip shark because
he can outswim him." states an Amer
lean who has been living in the islands
many years. Il never heard OF a ma
tive being injured by a shark. and
there is a superstition among them
that shark is afraid Of Kanaka and
will refuse to fight. This IS not true.
however, and grew out of the fact that
a native always whips shark. A
Kanaka will spy shark and, taking
a knife between his teeth. dive in after
him. It is a fair fight. because the
shark has teeth that are as deadly as
the knife. The shark will make for
the swimmer, and when it is in range
will flop suddenly on its side, which
position is necessary before it can use
its powerful jaws to crush an enemy
As the shark turns the native will sink
rapidly and come up and rip the crea-
ture open with a quick slash Of the
knife. Sometimes they will avoid the
shark time after time, cutting 1t on
the nose and pricking It to arouse its
anger.

Tho Mandrake Legend.

There is an old legend connected With
the mandrake which states that when
the plant is uprooted it utters pierre
ing cry. The forked tubers bear
fantastic resemblance to the body and
legs of man. and from this fancied
likeness there grew the belief which
was widespread during the middle
