REFUSE MAY LURE
BIG MAN EATERS
Naturalists Not Certain Other
Resorts Near New York May
Not Be Visited.

While sharks are common enough in
waters this far north, naturalists agreed
yesterday that their recent attacks on
human beings were out of the ordinary.
DR.. F. A. Lucas, director of the Ameri-
can Museum of Natural History, said
the-e was no precedent for so many at
tacks on men so far north.
"Of course, it is hard to say what
the rule is" he continued, "but judging
from the way they have acted in the
past, these attacks are unusual 1t has
been established that under certain cir
cumstances sharks have attacked men,
although there was for some time a
question about it."
He called attention to the unclaimed
reward of $500 offered by Hermann
Oelrichs for an authenticated case. DE-
Lucas had doubts about the question
once. but took up the matter in Forest
and Stream" and believed there was no
question about the authenticity OF some
cases that had come to his attention.
Tells Of Refuse Connection.
Sharks are great oarrion feeders"
he said. "Some of the cases have been
reported from places that had been in
the habit of dumping refuse into
waters near them. Sharks formed the
habit Of coming there to feed, and
when men went swimming into these
waters there were accidents"
While the shark has a sense Of smell
and taste, he explained, these were not
particularly well developed. He
thought the man-eating fish had been
unable to tell the difference between
the ordinary kind of food and man;
Seeing something on his accustomed
feeding ground, he simply snapped
at il.

the attacks along the Jersey coast and
near Mstawsn, for a shark ordinarily

II seems possible that the large fish

coldness of the northern waters ana
are less cautious than usual. The so
called man-eating shark has been
caught this far north from time 10
time. DR.. Lucas mentioned the fact
that a large white shark had been
caught along the Jersey coast about
fifteen years ago.
Those that have been ranging the
waters and doing so much damage 10
bathers this summer, DR.. Lucas thinks
probably are either the white shark or
the blue shark. The former, according
10 the naturalist, grow sometimes
thirty feet long, and many are larger
than fifteen feet. They do not COM

Naturalists were not certain whether
these sharks have simply moved north
for the summer or whether the chang-
ing course Of the Gulf Stream was re-
sponsible in part for their presence.
All agree, however, that bathers must
be careful, for there is no guarantee
that they will not strike any or all OF
