fall overheard, and often their ind1s-
criminate voracfty will swallow things
indigestible A lady's workbox was
found in the stomach Of one, and the
papers of a slave ship in that of an
other. Human beings are frequently
it's prey, fact which makes bathing
or diving in tropical seas a dangerous
pursuit.
This variety of shark Is capable not
only of biting off the leg of a man,
but of swapping the body in two, and
has been known to swallow man
entire. It's head is large, the mouth
large and wide; furnished witk ter
rible teeth, which are triangular in
form, SOMETHING'S two inches in
breadth, sharp-edged and serated.
When not in use they are laid back in
the mouth, nearly fiat, but when used
in biting, they are brought up by
means of muscles with which each
tooth is independently provided.
This shark is often captured by
seamen by means of a great hook
baited with a piece Of meat and at
tached to a chain, as the shark
teeth readily bite through any rope.
When the shark is hooked and hauled
on board, great care is necessary to
avoid danger both from the mouth
and from the wonderfully powerful
tail.

ers' scnool at the parish house are,
each day, becoming more interesting
and those attending are bringing more
people with them at each session.
The lectures and demonstrations of
proper selection and judging or SEED

the horticultural lectures on planting
and caring for the orchards and ques.
tions asked the instructors, shows
that those attending are alive TO the
needs Of the day and are seeking the
best methods to solve them.
The work of the Home Makers'
school Is enthusiastically received and
the increased attendance testifies to
the fact.
The demonstration in cooking and
bread making, home decorations and
lectures on sanitation and health pro-
lection subjects are excellent. Miss
Cdmunds is recognized as one of the
best domestic science instructors in
the United States and Mt. Vernon
and Knox county are indeed fortunate
in being able to hear her. Miss Vests
cooking and talks cannot be surpassed
by the best.
Ladies of Mt. Vernon and vicinity
