SHARKS TO SERVE MANKIND
Veteran Fisherman Believes That,
Properly Handled, the Meat Of j,
the Fish Is Edible.

Russell J. Coles of Danville, Va,
who taught Colonel Roosevelt how to
harpoon devilfish, announced that he
has discovered a method of preventing
worldwide starvation by tests he has
carried out with regard to certain spe-
cies Of the dark shark and ray Family.
Mr. Coles has just come back from
Morehead City, N. c., where he caught
a number of fish. and despite the pop
ular belief that the eating of them
would bring death in terrible form,
ne decided to take the risk and ne
sampled several of them. He has sent
a complete record of his findings to
Herbert Hoover in the hope that the
food administrator will incline an ear
and start the fashion Of shark eating.
Mr.. Coles believes that the sides of
the larger fish may be tanned and con-
verified into marketable leather.
After trying several methods the
Danville man gives the following re-
cipe for cooking shark steak:
Salt heavily for 80 minutes, soak out
in three waters, parboil few minutes
change wafer, parboil again, cook
heavily seasoned and serve hot. The
amount of seasoning must be used &C
cording to the odor of the meat.

WHALES STOOD ON HEAD:
According to Ships Officers, Larg
School Certainly Acted in a Most
Peculiar Manner.

This is a whale story, concernin
whales that stood on their heads, an
all vouched for by officers of a fru
steamer which arrived recently frol
the tropics, according to recent issu
of the Boston Evening TRANSCRIPT
And, seriously, the chief officer of tn
steamer intends to make written re
port about the whales to the fedora
bureau Of fisheries. The whales wer
sighted south of Nantucket shOal
lightship. During their respectiv
careers at sea the officers have see
many whales, but none which behave
in the manner of those sighted on thi
trip, and it was the peculiar behaviC
of the leviathans, together with thei
number, which attracted attention. b
tween 6 a. M. and p. NJ, according t
the chief officer, nearly 100 whale
were seen. For the most part, they al
peared to be in shoal water, and frol
time to time would dive and renal
poised with their tail-ends protrudin
twenty or more feet above the surface
according to the size of the individual
whale. In the opinion of the ships Of
ficers, the whales pursued these tactics
to obtain food fish swimming close tC
the bottom. On the other hand, NUM-
Der of the whales again, according tt
the mariners, flOated on the surfaG
apparently asleep and were not dill
turbed by the approach of the steame
In addition to the story, the steamt
brought $4,000 punches of bananas.

Case Long in English Courts.

A law case which was begun in 134S
and was interrupted because Richard
de Maundeville had to leave for the
war in France, was resumed recently
in the chancery, says the London Ex-
press. The point at issue was the
right to hold market at Stowmarket,
Suffolk, and the suit was originally
brought by the abbot of st. Osyth, Els
sex, in the twenty-second year Of Ed
ward II, against Richard de Maunde-
vile. According to the abbot, who
said he was lord of the manor, Rich
ard had wrongfully obtained the grant
of the right to hold market in Stow
market, and his assertion was ito the
grave damage of the said abbot"
Richard claimed the kings protection,
and eventually the case was adjourned
sine die because of his departure
abroad.

Nearly one-fourth of the earth's land
surface is comprised within the CONT

the coast of Africa as it is around the
world. Every eighth person of the

He asked him to what army he be-

Sounds like a page out of some Dia- moad Dick novel doesn't it.
 But the above is the truth, the real unsuppresscd facts, as given to the world by thc ANCHORAGE TIMES.
 The Anchorage Times, a week ago last Saturday, sen, ,o all papers iu Alaska. with the exception of the Seward Gateway. and Co papers iu the States. long news dispatch setting forth that resorts in Anchorage would put Co blush the degenerated resorts of the Barbary Coast of San Francis ro m their bamics, days. The Anch- oracr Times said in this long news dispatch that Anchorage was Iawless; iouog was sold everywhere, anytime to anybody: crime was unsurpassed and conditions were simply fierce.
 Now all this comes from the Auch- o.agc Times. The news dispatch was sent out paid press which shows that the Anchorage Times is telling the real facts of tha, city, and what a cleaning up there will be when all this pretty stuH is Haunted in the faces of the people of Anchorage. Why the Anchorage Times desires to Cell the plain truth about it's own town: why the Anchorage Times sends on, such a horrible orgy of a knock, is past reasoning.
 How does the Gateway know os these facts-because the papers that printed the story of Augaouages law Iessness have been received on the Exchange desk. And they aI quote the Anchorage Times as saying al. oI the above horrible things.
 One newspaper, which received the dispatch. in 80 two column bloody head lime tyne says. Anchorage resorts scenes of immoral orgies-RW.road town paper declares an appeal will ba made to the President of the United States to stop disgracefu. perform ances"
 Great advertisiug-isut tr.

 Here is another headline rom

another newspaper which received the Anchoragcs Times press dispatch. .Dcns of vice flourish in Anchorage govenmeu, at Washington will b, asked Co stop orgies
 Isn't Anchorage the sweet smelling Httle burg-just the place for man with a family Co live init is such a lovely place.
 And If che Gateway had said the above thiugs-which it has known fol two mon,hs-the Anchorage Times and thc weakly Democrat would have yelled their little heads hollow But the great and only daily in Anchorage sends out the req. information to the wond-glares it's wickedness to the four winds and then gIoats over its dobauchcry.
 What a nice story this is for gov ernment officials, who are supposed to be making Anchorage, to see pub Gshed in Alaska newspapers and in the newspapers in the United States, the newspapers down below. What am honor it is to live in such a town anI to have to be forced to ask the government to step in and command the l,tta burg Jo clean up, wipe it> ro-r luu be good.

EXPERIMENTS WITH SKINS OF
 FIyE-YEAR-OLD FUR SEALS
Scientific AmerLcanL

A sufficient number of skins of five vaar-ord fur seals will be taken this season on the Pubiloff Islands, Alas ka. to enable the United States Bu- rcau of Fisheries to determine fully how they will be received by the trade. and the best uses to which such skins may be put. As preliminary s.ao a st. Louis concern has forward ed to the bureau for examination the dressed and machiued skins of three Alaskan fve-year-old seals. These skins have about twice the area of the skins from am average three-year-old seal and were regarded by experts as fully equal in quality to the average skin of the younger seals that have heretofore made up the quota for the natives, use. A limited number of skins from seals five years old were taken last year on the Pubilof Islands for experimental purposes. In view of the probable high market value Of such pe..s and the comparatively large number of male seals of this age on the islands, the Secretary of Com merce approved the recommendation of the Commissioner of Fisheries that the present experiment be undertaken.
 Two expert seal skiuners from Newfoundland and two sealskin spec ialists from the St. Louis concern will proceed to the Pribnof Islands for the purpose of assisting the agents and insuucting the natives in taking and preparing sealskjns. In arranging for the presence of these men on the seal islands during the present season, the bureau has had in view the modern requirements of the fur trade and the increased task that will be thrown on the local force when commercial seal killing is resumed
