THRILLING BATTLE
WITH A SHARK

Mr.. Aubrey Sara, an enthusiastic
yachtsman. recently had an exciting
contest with man-eating shark when
on fishing excursion off Kawan Is
land, near Auckland Harbor New
Zealand, in surf boat, manned by
four rowers and equipped for a days
fishing. Mr.. Sara suddenly heard
splashing noise, and glancing round
saw a porpoise pursued by large
shark-pursued and pursuer heading
direct for the boat.
Mr.. Sara had come prepared with
rifle and an excellent HARMON

latter being about 60 fathoms of tough
whale line. But a few seconds clans

WHEN SEAS WERE
FRESH WATER

There was time according to
scientists, when all the seas were
fresh water.
OF course. it is impossible to es-
innate exactly when this was,
but these same scientists feel GER
tain that it was at least 100000 or
100000 years ago, and they explain
this very simply by their practical
explanation of why the seas are
salt today.
Everyone knows what the water
sources of the earth are They are
springs and brooklets in lakes: ponds
marshes, streams and, finally mighty
rivers, which all lend their water.
one to the other and finally flow in
to the ocean. These scientists de
clare that the salt was not originally
n the ocean beds, but came from
salts which are found in the soil.
Naturally. these salts, which are
soluble, are swept on and on down
mountains, across plains and through
valleys gathering in quantitl all the
time until they are finally deposited
in the ocean. Everyone also knows
the process by which the water evap-
rates, and is taken up in clouds
and to be returned to the earth once
1ore in the form of rain and snow
When this is done the salts are not
in them-they being heavy. remain
in the ocean-and so through all

The dimple is one of the most fas

RED IS THE
KING Of COLORS

Red has greater effect upon
both man and the lower animals
than any other color. 1t is, in fact,
the king of colors, according to Prof
w. Peabody Bartlett.
Perhaps" says Prof Bartlett, "if
our blood were green instead of red
we would hold green as the king of

sights of it stirs both man and the

the color of it is the most eff
