HOW TO CONQUER HEAT.

One way to take the hot weath- CT is to stew, fret, fan yourself and force your nttghbor into com pany with your misery by asking him. ''Is it hot enough for you?" Another way is to take it as an adventure. To be prepared for meeting the heat you should drink no liquor. eat moderately and reduce your clothing tO-or, if your courage is great, below the minimum prescribed by GUS tom. advises the Waterbury (COnn.) Democrat.
 The adventure itself is to prove yourself superior to the heat. Man, the master, can live in both hot and cold climates. His prog ress is marked by ever increasing fear of things outside of him. self and ever increasing domin- ion over matter. His being spiritual and eternal, most peo- pie call it nOwadays-cowers no more. Look upon the sun and it's warmth-pretty well tempered to us-as the friend and not the tor mentor of humanity.
 This establishment of a friend iy relation with the source of heat waves helps some. But it is not enough. There is left the ne cessity for calling upon your in ner strength to meet the heat and prove yourself the better in the encounter. You may not win. But you will be calmer and more self respecting and feel better" if you attempt the mas tery than if you sink down at the first approach of heat and wait for it's blows.

James Glasco. native of St. Croix, Danish West Indies, told of a plan he believes wHl clear the New Jersey bathing resorts of any sharks that may be cruising off the coast. It is a plan adopted in the Caribbean sea and in those waters never fails.
 MT. Glasco spent many syears shark fishing before he became resident of the United States and is familiar with the habits of these undersea monsters. He thinks that undoubtedly the fish which killed several men off the Jersey coast was q shark and that it or a num- Der still turk in the same vicinity.
 If the authorities will take the car cass of a horse and anchor it from a half mile to q mile off shore" said MT. Glasco, 'I will be greatly surprised if they do not get chance to harpoon every shark wiFhin five miles. They won't have to wait long. Several boats should lie close by, and heavy harpoons should be used.

Feed on Carrion.

Man eating and other sharks feed on carriOn and the longer the horse has been dead the greater will be the attraction. My experience is that any shark cruising in the vicinity will de tect the horse in a few hours. He will attack it viciously and may be easily harpooned. More than one boat should stand by for the reason that when a shark is hit he becomes blind with anger and is likely to dash into any one of the boats. He will strike with his triangular dorsal fin with enough force to crush or upset the boat"
 Mir Glasco said that sharks of the white, or man eating, variety usually travel in twos or threes, and that they might remain along the coast the en- tire summer unless caught. They keep close together, so if there is more than one the fact can be readily as- certained

Fingers Soon Contaminated.

Moreover, since the disease attacks by preference young children and in- fants, in whom the secretions from the nose and mouth are wiped away hy mother or nurse, the fingers of these persons readily become contam- mated. Through attentions on other children or the preparation of food which may be contaminated. the virus may thus be conveyed from the sick tn the healthy.
 "Third.-Flies also often collect about nose ana mouth of patients i'll of in- fantile paralysis and feed on the secre- lions, and they even gain access to the discharges from the intestines in homes unprotected by screens. This fact relates to the domestic fly, which. becoming grossly contaminated with the virus, may deposit it on the nose and mouth of healthy persons or upon food or eating utensils. To what eX- tent the biting stable fly is to he in- criminated as a carrier of infection is doubtful. but we already know enough to wish to exclude from the sick, and hence from menacing the well, all ob- iectionable household insects.

Must Not Expose Food.

Food exposed to sale may become contaminated by flies or from fingers which have been in contact with secre- tions containing the virus hence food should not be exposed in shops and no person in attendance upon case of infantile paralysis should he permitted to handle food for sale to the general public.
 "Fourth.-Protection to the public can be best secured through the dis covery and isolation of those i'll of the disease and the sanitary control of those persons who have associated with the sick and whose business calls them away from home. Both these conditions can he secured without too great interference with the comforts and the right; of individuals.
 "In the first place. where homes are not suited to the care of the ill so that other children in the same or adjacent families are exposed the parent should consent to removal to hospital in the interest of the sick child itself as well

iSOLA7IO." NEEDED
 OF PARALYSIS,
No Reason For Panic, pr. Simon FIexner of Rocke-
 feIIer Institute Asserts.
THE address of pr. Simon Flex-
Ter, director Of IabOrat0rieS Of thn Rnnl. .nfnllnr Inctitntn Tor

"HE address of Dr. Simon Flex- E her. director of laboratories of the Rockefeller Institute For Medical Research. on The Ma ture. Manner of Conveyance and Means
 of Prevention of Infantile Paralysis" before the New York Academy of Medicine follows in part:
 The Rockefeller Institute For Med | ical Research has been appealed to by so many physicians and laymen for in- 1 formation and advice on the subject of infantile paralysis that it has seem cd desirable to relate the facts of pres ent knowledge concerning certain high | ly pertinent aspects of the disease, to- l gcther with deductions of practical inn portancc derived from them.
 "Infantile paralysis is an infectious | and communicable disease which is caused by the invasion of the central
 nervous organs-the spinal cord and hrain-Of a minute. filterable micro | organism which has now been secured in an artificial culture and as such is distinctly visible under the higher pow.
 CTS of the microscope.
 "The virus of infantile paralysis, as
 the micro-organism causing 1t is term ed, exists constantly in the central | nervous organs and upon the mucous
 membrane of the nose and throat and of the intestines in persons suffering from the disease: it occurs less ire quently in the other internal organs. | and it has not been detected in the general circulating blood of patients. Although the micro-organism of in- fantile paralysis is now known. the
 difficulties attending its artificial culti- ! ration and identification under the
 microscope are such as to make futile the employment of ordinary hacterio-
 logical tests for its detection. Never theless the virus can be detected by
 lnoculation tests upon monkeys. which
 animals develop disease correspond ing to infantile paralysis in human beings"
 Dr. Flexner concluded with these
 practical deductions and applications:
 "First-The chief mode of demon Strated conveyance of the virus is
 through the agency of human beings. Whether still other modes of dissem- ination exist is unknown. According
 to our present knowledge. the virus
 leaves the body in the secretions Of
 the nose and throat and in the dis charge from the intestines. The con
 veyers of the virus include persons i'll
 of infantile paralysis in any of its sev-
 eral forms and irrespective of whether
 they are paralyzed or not and such
 healthy persons who may have be- come contaminated by attendance on
 or association with the i'll. How nu-
 merous the latter class may be is un- known.
 "Second.-The chief means by which
 the secretions of the nose and throat are disseminated is through the act of kissing. coughing or sneeZing; hence during the prevalence of an epidemic of infantile paralysis care should be exercised to restrict the distribution as far as possible through these com mon means. Habits of self denial care and cleanliness and consideration for the public welfare can be made to go very far in limiting the dangers

Sharks Are Cowards.

Tt is most unusual for a shark to go in so close to the beach," he said. "As a rule. they fear they will get sand in their gills. Once sand reaches the gills breathing is difficult. More over, strange as it may seem, sharks are towards. A man jumping from a boat will scare man eater off, but he will lTrll around waiting his chance. They like to strike when they are sure they can take their victim unawcre9."
 According to AIr. Glasco. the pound nets off the coast near Spring Lake T"oN"'lT' have attracted the sharks, which he considers strayed north from the gulf stream into unfamiliar feed ing grounds. Each morning these cir cular nets are filed with food fish and he thinks it likely that the man eaters, crazed by the sight of food they could not reach. became ravenouS enough to go inshOre for human flesh.
