Shark Fishing Arabian Industry.

Shark fishing is quite an industry
among the Arab fishermen of Alden
The best grounds are between Alden
and Shukra, an Arabian port about
eleven miles east of Alden, writes Con-
sui Southland from Alden, Arabia. There
are also good shark fishing grounds at
Makalla, another Arabian port some
distance beyond Shukra. Shark fisher
men also have good luck at most places
along the British Somaliland coast.
The usual fishing vessel is the typical
Arab sailing dhow. Both nets and
hooks are used in fishing. The nets
are very strongly woven, the best ones
coming from the Persian Gulf, and are
from 100 to $50 feet in length and
about 25 feet wide. Sharks from to
feet in length are usually caught in
the nets, while hooks are used for the
capture of larger sizes. Fishing with
hooks is often done from small boats
and requires considerable courage, as
large fish will sometimes. overturn
the boat and throw the occupants into
the water, where they have more than
an even chance of being attacked by
other sharks.

Artificial Light.

1t is quite possible to do success,
full photography by artificial light. III
fact many professional photographers
nowadays, employ artificial light ex.
clusively for portrait work, for the rea-
son that it is more dependable and
more easily controlled than daylight.
But naturally a very powerful light,
from 200 candle power upwards, must
be employed so as to avoid having to
prolong the exposure unduly. With a
Kerosene lamp, portraiture would be
out OF the question, but one might
make Photographic studies of still life
subjects (fruit flowers, etc., with such
an illuminant. Using a lens work
ing at (say) FS, and presuming the
light from the lamp was equal to about
16 candle power (this would be an I'M
usually powerful light for an oil-burn-
ing lamp, an exposure of from half
an hour to an hour would probably be
required for still life subject, with
the illuminant placed feet or so dis
tant from it.-Exchange.

.o.rd az Hanom.n,s Stone.

Numerous large powders in Eng
land as well as In this country have
received the name Of the hangman's
stone, as q result of legend which
attaches much the same story to each.
There were two fiends in the parish Of
Foremark, in Derbyshire, called the
Great and the Little Hangman's Stone,
from the boulders which they con-
tanned. The former was five or six feet
high, with an indentatiOn running
across the top. This peculiar mark
was explained by tradition. as follows:
Once upon a time a thief, having
stolen a sheep, placed his booty on the
top Of the stone while he rested, but
1t slipped off and strangled the man
with the rope which tied the sheep to
his back, the indentation being made
by the friction of the rope passing
back and forth In the struggles OF the
dying man to extricate himself.
