SHARKS BLOW SHIP WHISTLE
Then Sailors Know the Much Hated
Fish Has Been Caught on
Their Hooks.

Sharks are numerous In Magdalena
bay, on the west coast Of the Peninsu-
la of Lower California, says the Wide
World. The monsters at this point
seem to take almost any kind of bait,
and 1t is rarely that a warship is seen
at anchor without from one to a half
dozen lines dangling from its stern.
Watching a shark line is a tedious
business, but it is strictly necessary
In order that the fisherman may know
when the monster is hooked, as its
frantic rushes, If allowed to go un-
checked, are pretty sure to some
part of the line. leader, or even a part
of its own anatomy to give way, and
result in its escape.
The old scheme Of tying the line
around ones big toe and going to sleep
would probably work all right SO far
as rousing the fisherman was con-
cerned, but the sequel might not leave
him in a condition to give undivided
attention to landing the prize. To this
end the officers and sailors have hit on
an ingenious plan. Instead of taking
in their lines when the dinner gong
sounds or when for any reason they
are on duty elsewhere, they run a
stout piece of marlin Irvine from the
sharkline up to the steam whistle,
leaving it for the man eater himself
to the event of his being
hooked by sounding a toot.

VIZ ASHINGTON.-School teachers in
w Alaska must have a thorough
knowledge Of medicine as well as
pedagogy. The Alaska school serv-
ice is the only system of education in
the United States or any of its pos
sessions which is under the direct
control of the federal bureau of edu-
cation. In the northwest territory
there are large areas in which the
services of regular physicians are
not obtainable. 1t often becomes the
duty Of the public school teachers not
only to render first aid to the injured
or sick native, but to care for him
throughout the entire course Of a
severe illness without the aid Of a
physician.
For the assistance Of men working
in Uncle Sans Alaska school service
DR.. Emil Krulish Of the United States

S. Neumann Of the United States bu-
reau of education have together writ
ten a medical handbook which has Just
been published and sent to every

eminent in Alaska. The authors have

Philomath, Ore.-Five thousand

pheasant Is little known. None will
be given its liberty except on desig-

will be guaranteed.
In addition to the Chinese pheasants,
a number of rarer birds, such as the
silver and Reeves p%heasants and the
bob-white quail, have been raised this
year on the farm,
About 800 pheasant hens have been
laying on the farm all the spring and
summer One hen lays from sixty to
eighty eggs In a single season when
confined in a pen. But in captivity
the hens will not nest, and they will
not hatch, so the eggs are gathered
and Matched under common hens.

Mr.. Huffman thought he could do
nothing for him, as there we're Wis

turned to go.
But Mrs. Huffman could not see the
man turned out into the night, so
called him and "reckoned" they could
manage somehow.
Then they led him into the hall. un.

light fell on his face the aged couple

A little learning is a dangerous
thing, and this is especially true In
medicine. Teachers are warned to be
careful in prescribing. It Is often diff

To lessen this difficulty symptoms OF

may have assistance in determining
any case. Remember, this handbook
is not intended to replace the serv-

Agents of the government have
found that outside of performing their
educational duties Alaska school
teachers are called on most frequent

their health problems. The new med
ical handbook instructs the school
teachers on every phase Of medical
practice through which it might be
possible for the agents of the bureau
of education to help the natives.
Public health officials believe that
the book is one of the most complete

a leading article remarks that: Were
1t not for the commercial value of it's
feathers, the ostrich would today be
as rare in civilized South Africa as the
hippopotamus. The ostrich is really
a much pampered bird, living a life Of
pure luxury. He is bred and kept in
condition merely for the sake Of his
feathers, and generally he lives TO a
ripe old age. The feathers are not
pulled out from the sockets by the
roots, but are cut with as little pain
to the bird as is caused to a sheep by
the shearer."
