ice is planning to cooperate with local
authorities in the regions where the shark
tragedies have occurred by stretching
heavy steel nets to inclose the bathing
spaces. Whether these nets will actually
prevent sharks from penetrating inland to
the pleasure beaches cannot be deter
mined. Can the steel nets be extended
deep enough so that the sharks will not
be able to swim under them? The answer
is that this system that is used sue
cessfully in Australia. where the shark
menace is seasonal affair and not an
accidental or unusual one, as it is in
our temperate waters, and as 1t is eff
fective there. it should be so here.
The coast guard service has detailed
its captains of revenue cutters to dis
cuss the situation with city officials
of the threatened states, and to agree
upon the most efficacious procedures
for this fish war Dynamiting, they say,
would be futile, for unfortunately many
of the schools of edible fish would also
be killed with the sharks. Treasury
Department officials say that the cree
ton of steel nets must remain for the
present as Uncle Sans only possible
action against the sharks.
But the revenue cutter service Is not
the only branch of the federal govern
ment which has given cognizance to
the shark. Representative Bacharach
of New Jersey, whose state has been
most harassed by the preda deni-
zens of the deep, has introduced bill
in Congress providing an appropriation
of $4,000 to aid the bureau of fisheries
in proposed campaign. Representative
Thomas Scully has suggested that
beach patrol. under the supervision OF
this bureau, might be advantageous.
Scientists can study the sharks, which
are obviously out of their native ele-
ment, and which are only known to
limited degree anyway, and advise the
government regarding them.

are acquainted with the ranges of the
ferocious varieties. it appears that the
man eaters around the Jersey coast are
but stragglers from equatorial waters.
Oceanic conditions are abnormal this
season. Sharks food-smaller fish-are
scarce in midocean. 1t is suggested
that the gulf stream is changing it's
course and extending the boundary of
the tropical waters farther north. This
diversity of opinion exists because the
true facts are only to be guessed at: it
is. accordingly. difficult to put Uncle
Sans official finger on the definite
source of the disturbance. For the
present the urgent need is to protect
bathers. Details of hunting man-eaters
and destroying them must follow.
AS to the efficacy of the steel nets,
one Is inclined to question if they will
bear up against the mighty teeth of
the shark. Teeth are the sharks only
weapon of warfare. but they are an
excellent weapon. The jaw is it's most
perfectly developed combative organ.

boats. There are many records of 'ele-
plant sharks twenty-five to thirty
eight feet long from the coasts of Maine
and New York. but the species has not
been common in our waters in recent
years.
The largest of all cold blooded ami
mails, with the exception of few spe-
cies of whales, is the whale shark
known in California. few years ago
a small specimen was obtained on tho
Florida coast. This shark has very
broad and ohtuse snout and ansexceed-
ingly wide mouth armed with numer-
Gus minute teeth. The species-is stated
to attain length of seventy feet. but

1t is possible that these varieties con-

would make il possible to confuse
these species with the man-eaters.
1t is possible that the present influx
of sharks may be turned to some ac-
count by the government If a sucoess-
full method of catching them is agreed
upon. The skins of sharks are very
rough and, like those of all cartilage
nous fishes. very durable. Aside from
its formidable jaw and impenetrable
skin. the shark has little equipment for
battle 1t is a great fleshy mass which
crumples into a lump after ii is dead.
1t differs from the ordinary fish in
many ways In the first place it is
one of the oldest fish families and it's
anatomical structure is very simple.
But the skin is valuable: being Of a
porous nature. il is free from the de-
fects which water exposure leaves on
the skin of seals. 1t is possible to tan,
1t into a non-cra cking leather A Pa
risian manufacturer has made quite
a reputation tanning the skins of a
species of Malabar shark into moroc-
co and establishments in Turkey make
H.
in the Mediterranean.
The skin of the diamond shark, found
in the North sea, is used to cover the
sword grips of German officers, and
for this purpose 1t is not surpassed by
any material available. The principal
uses made of shark skin at the pres
ent time are for covering desk orna-
ments, sword sheaths and great va.
riety of small articles. Comparatively
few of the skins are tanned in the
United States. The world supply Of
leather is reduced at present and it
may be that the United States gov
eminent can turn its campaign against
the shark into a remunerative one.
But these are developments thattmust
come later. The present stages of the
battle are most important for the pro-
lection of the citizens at the summer
resort. And these the government will
pursue in an indefatigible way. Fight
ing these deadly monsters is the second
citizens battle in which Uncle Sam
has enlisted his services during thes past
two weeks. Both battles are conducr-
ed under the direction of Treasury De-
partment officials The scourge Of in,
