variety Of laying hens. Roosts and
dropping boards are placed in each
corner at the back Of the building and
made so they can be inclosed in eX-
IRENE cold weather by simply drop
ping a curtain in front Of the roosts.
Two tiers of nests are placed against
the wall between these rooStS at the
back of the building. This roosting
method gives your flock a chance to
divide during their roosting hours
without crowding, thus avoiding dan
gers from colds, etc.
A window is placed toward the front
in each end of the house, which helps
to furnish light at the bottom Of the
building where needed when fowls are
scratching for their food in the litter.
One door, placed as indicated, with
the open front two feet from the
ground, against any draft
when you enter the house. There is
no need of using muslin upon this
front except in stormy or exceedingly
cold weather. The open front also fur
nishes light close to the floor, which
also helps the fowls in their scratch
ing for food. 1t also affords the very
best possible system of circulation and
ventilation when the front is open by
using the adjustable windows at the
top as an outlet for impure air. These
windows at the front near the top fur
n:5n the light which keeps the roosts
and roost boards dry. You will note
that they come in Just the proper
place for the sun to shine into the
extreme corners at the back of the
building. My experience has taught
me that we must have light in the
house. The more we have up to a Ger
tain point, the better.
A house of this size, built of drop
siding and tar paper with rubber roof
ing, will keep so or 60 fowls var and
comfortable the coolest weather. Not
only is this house splendid for laying
hens, but it serves we'll for surplus
cockerels; or, if divided, makes the
very best of breeding pens, or may be
put to many other uses.

RAVENOUS SHARKS TAKE
TOLL OF HUMAN LIFE,

Armed shark hunters in motor boats
patrolled the New York and New Jer'
sew oasts last week while others lines
the beaches in a concerted effort to eX'
terminate the man-eaters which had
moved north from their customary
haunts, apparently in large numbers

Belief that a single shark was re-

two weeks, two of them in n day in
Matawan creek, a shallow inlet 1t
miles from the open sea, has been dis
PEELED by persons who acuo6ly have
seen a half dozen or more of the
monsters.
One theory is that sharks which
formerly fed on refuse thrown over
board from the many ocean steamships
that piled before the war began, now
have become ravenous. Even those
not ordinarily classed as maneaterS.
is is said, probably have been driven
by starvation to Turk in the waters Of
the Atlantic coast, warm at this sea-
son. and attack human beings.
Three of the huge fishes were seen
in Matawan creek in one day. A Brit
ish sloop arriving in New York from
Bermuda was reported to have killed
a score of sharks during the voyage,
one of them off the New Jersey coast.
Terror seized the multitudes who
have bathed at beaches along the New
York and New Jersey coasts, and COM
paratively few persons would venture
into the water. At Asbury Park and
other New Jersey resorts wire nets
have been strung around the bathing
areas.
DR.. Geo. G. Reynolds of Matawan,
who attended Stanley Fisher, who was
SO seriously mangled in a battle with a
shark that he died a few hours later,
performed an autopsy On Fishers body
He declared that the flesh torn by the
man-eater's teeth was impregnated
with a peculiar poisonous liquid which
seemed to have a deadening effect on
the nerves and muscles. This proba-
bly, explained. he said, why Fisher ap-
parently had little sensation of pain
when the shark took off his leg.
Little hope was entertained for the
recovery of the body of 1~2-year-old
Lester Stillwell. the other victim of
the Matawan Greek tragedy. 1t is be-
lieved he was devoured by the shark.
Conflicting reports were received
during the day from various points
along the New York and New Jersey
coasts regarding the killing of sharks,
but only one appears to have had any
in fact. This was the news
brought by A. Lunday, captain of a
fishing boat, who said his party of
New York fishermen had dubbed to
death a nine foot shark. weighing $50
pounds, while cruising.
A fisherman reported that he had
vainly tried to kill with an oar a seven
foot shark which became entangled in
his nets. He said the fish tried to
his boat.

When a man is telling a lie he
breathes differently from when he Is

discovered by lean of some tests

He prepared cards bearing letters,
figures and Diagrams, and distributed
these among his pupils. They were
required to describe the cards cor
rectly, except in certain cases when
the cards were marked with a red

were required to describe them falsely

An Effective British Advance.

The other day Berlin dispatch stated
that in the opinion of German officers
of high rank the allied offensive on the
Somme front had shot its bolt, that the
force Of the onset was spent and that
no more material gains of ground would
be effected by the French and British.
Within very short time the French
struck out and captured Sally -Saillisel,
which had stubbornly resisted all pre-
vious assaults. little later the Brit
ish struck in a new quarter, along the
banks of the Ancre, toward Bapaume.
They hit hard with artillery and later
with infantry, though the conditions
we're unfavorable for infantry assaults,
and caught the German line evidently
unprepared, for they drove it back for
the depth of mile along fve-mile
front, making one of the biggest gains
since the Somme offensive started in
July. This answer to the suggestion in
Berlin that the allies have lost their
force on the Somme indicates that Ber-
lin has probably not fully measured
the power of the French and British Of
fensive.
