mackerel shark. These attain to huge size and are equipped with an array of terrible teeth. Usually when caught they all come under the head of man eating sharks, which gives rise to many fallacious ideas. None of these creatures will wantonly or from hum ger attack a human being, if we are to believe the great weight of scientific evidence at hand concerning these spe- cles. If approached when enmeshed in a net or when brought aboard ship these animals are most dangerous, but thls, of course, is true of virtually every animal when cornered.
 mere is only one man eating shark, and his range is the open sea of all the oceans. This is the great white shark tCarcharodon carcharias), but so rare Is this monster it is doubtful if any museum in this country has anything approaching an adult specimen.
 Sharks arc not in the least particular as to their diet and are likely to seize any thing that happens along where they are feeding. One shark was kill ed, and in it's stomach were found a tin can, mutton bOnes the hind quarter of a pig, the head of dog and quantities of horse feSh It would appear it is always more or less dangerous to swim in waters where there is Offal floating in great amount, for, in the instances of accidents occurring with sharks in tropical waters, it has been in harbors where they were attracted by the smell of blood and offal that had been dump ed in the water.
 All sharks are great travellers and cover enormous distances in an incred- ibly short length of time. In the eight eenth century an American privateer was chased by British man. of-war in the Caribbean sea. Finding escape inn possible, the skipper threw the ships papers overheard. The privateer was captured and taken into Port Royal, Jamaica, and the captain placed on trial for his life.
 As there was no documentary evil dence against him, he was about to be sel arrived in port. The captain of the cruiser reported that when off the coast of Haiti, shark had been cap tured and the privateer's papers had been found in it's stomach The papers thus recovered were taken into court and, solely upon the evidence they af- fOrded, the ca ptain and crew were con- demned to death. The original papers were preserved and placed on exhibi- tion in the Institute of Jamaica, at Kingston, where the sharks papers" have always been an object of interest.

 The seriousness of such a menace to the thousands upon thousands of bath CTS at our great seaside resorts should not be underestimated, nor, on the oth- CT hand should it cause undue alarm, in view of the long period of uninter- rupted safety they have enjoyed. Sharks have always existed in large numbers along our shores, many of them of sufficient size to inf1ict just such injuries as were suffered by the men who lost their lives. Prominent among these are the sand shark, dusky shark brown shark, tiger shark and

in the Illinois national guard. Colonel Garrity had given orders that each member of the regiment was entitled to receive a visit from one woman friend, but he deprecated the appear ance of a bevy of half a dozen girls fol every guardsman. So when Petersen appeared with three women he found the guard lines strictly drawn and stern sentinels opposing his entrance, Petersen appealed to Captain John L Lavin of his company.
 Who are the ladies?" said the cap- tain.
 My mother, my sister and my fan cee," said Petersen. You can take in only one,'' said Lavin. Its up to you to choose" 1 Petersen looked around at the faces of the three women, who were closer to him than any others in the world.

Boy Police of New York Do Good Work
 In Fighting Epidemic of Infantile Paralysis

FIN the epidemic of infantile paralysis
 which fell first over New York
 city and then over various other
 sections of the country the boy police force of New York proved great aid in keeping the city clean and taking other preventive measures which were intended to prevent the spread of the disease. The boys are we'll organized, and the results of their activities was to clean up spots which had not been clean for years, report any violation of quarantine laws and arrest those who violated instructions.
 The epidemic quickly spread to many sections of the country, and it is said that a majority of the cases were traced and found to have originated in New York. The disease is one about which little is known Webster's dic- tiOnary defines it for the layman as follows:
 Anterior Poliomyelitis.-An infective contagious disease, probably of micro bic origin, in which the anterior horns of gray matter of the spinal cord are attacked, producing destruction of their cells and causing motor paralysis; more common in children and hence often called infantile paralysis.
 Every ollOrL Has been put forward LO trace the germ that causes the ailment | and thus find a cure, such as was aC- l complished in typhoid and diphtheria | During the 1907 epidemic a committee l composed of the most eminent medical | men in the United States made a sys tematic study of infantile paralysis with the purpose of accurately cata- loguing the symptoms of the disease and of identifying the germ that caus ed it. With the germ properly identi- fled the task of finding a serum to kill it and thus produce cure for infantile paralysis would not be difficult One
 But the eminent medical men found themselves against a stone wall. The report which they had prepared on the 1907 epidemic shows that in some cases the symptoms were fever and chills; in others they were not; in some cases that the juvenile sufferer vomted and was delirious; in others that the suffer- CTS showed entirely different symptoms

 Want Everlasting Ice.
 General Parker, at Brownsville, has received information that a wealthy resident of New York wants to present each soldier in the New York division with something that will be of use to him in the field. The general has been asked to designate what the boys ought to have, and he is stumped.
 The government furnishes it's soldiers with every necessity and all that a soldier can carry of same. The most acceptable present from the philan- thropic New Yorker would be an indi- vidual cake of everlasting ice, which

will be no gangs on the east side. Be- sides, boys will be able to instruct their parents in matters that go to make the homes and the community better.
 There is a growing demand on the part of public school teachers that their pupils be made inspectors. In order to join it is necessary for the boys to pass civil service examinations. 1t is essential that they study their lessons and have the consent of their teachers before they can get their badges, clubs and whistles.
 In connection with the work of inter- esting boys and girls in civic matters concerts in the parks are held during the summer. Addresses are made by city officials on subjects that appeal to the residents of the east side An effort is made to bring the east side to a bet ter understanding of the ideas and views of the city officials on all things that go to make better citizens and a better city.

TYPE OF MAN EATING SHARK.

Herman Oelrichs offered a reward of $500 to any one who could furnish an authenticated case of man having been attacked by a shark in temperate waters. The reward remained un- claimed. Six years later the Forest and Stream offered a similar reward, with like result. Other offers have since been made, one as recently as 1915, and even the United States gov ernment has never been able to find a single authentic case of this character;
 hence when we are suddenly confront ed with the tragedies which have oc- cured on the New Jersey coast, all authentic, previous investigation and

gated the poliomyelitis germ, but were unable to identify it further than to find that it showed a similarity to the virus of human rabies. They injected germs of infantile paralysis into ami mals, and of those experimented upon monkeys were the only ones that con- tracted the disease. This was interest ing, but not vitally instructive in so far as finding a cure for infantile pa ralysis was concerned.
 The juvenile inspectors, or boy police, who did such good work, have fixed posts, one boy to block. The terri tory they cover includes the east side between Fourteenth street and the Battery. The juvenile department has ten precincts, and each precinct has it's captain and subordinate officers. Every inspector has a regular badge and car ries a club and a whistle

 It was time for quick action. One of the first men to grab a mule and at tempt to subdue it was Private Thorn ton Brown of Company K, cousin of J. Pierpont Morgan. A moving picture concern would have given a million dollars for a film of the wrestling match between Private Brown and the mule.
 The mule won, but Private Brown came out of the encounter with glory and mud and also equipped with much knowledge of mule strategy.

 Must Wear Hats.
 Brigadier General Dyer, who was at one time colonel of the Twelfth New York, has found it necessary to issue a peremptory order that the soldiers must wear their hats in the sun. The Texas sunshine Is strong enough to scramble the brain of one not in the habit of exposing his dome to the blue of heaven. At 4 o'clock in the after noon General Dyer issued orders that all the men of the Twelfth not engaged in necessary work should crawl into the shelter of their tents. At that hour the heat was blistering, and the hos pital corps was getting a lot of prac- tical field duty.
