Marine Phenomenon.

Late one January the steamship
Trafalgar, when within ten miles oR
Wolf rock, off the southeast coast O.
England, met with a remarkable ae-
cident.
A report like that Of a cannon wac
heard, and large fiery body with
a tall 80 or 40 feet long struck the
water 90 feet from the vessel. II
was accompanied by a loud kissing,
and a column Of water rose where 10
struck the sea. Immediately after
ward the ship seemed to be on fire,
the engine room glowing with violet
light filed with multitudes Of sparks.
The mate engaged at the wheel suf-
fered a violent shock through the steel
rod in his hand. The crew fed to the
deck. 1t was found that all the coun-
passes had been demagnetized, and
the ship had much difficulty in making
her way to Falmouth. 1t was prob
ably a strong lightning fash which
struck the water. and the subsequent
electric phenomena were produced BY
the dispersal Of the charge supplied
to the surface Of the sea.

most probably a shark that swallowed
Jonah.
The Museum shark lived in prehistoric
times along the coast of South Carolina.
1t was so feet in length and weighed 100
tons. Its Jaws measured 8 feet across
and approximately II feet from jaw to
jaw when opened up.
The teeth average 6 inches in height
in the middle Of the jaw and gradually
decrease in size in the direction of the
sides of the mouth, the smallest teeth
measuring inches in height.
This titanic shark was called "carcharo-
don mcgalodon," meaning "hesh-tooth,
big TOOTH"
In restoring the jaw of the prehistoric
shark the teeth were arranged as in the
living species of carcharodon, the great
white shark or man-eater of the tropics
which sometimes attains length of so
feet DR.. Bashford Dean, of the Amer
lean Museum, who restored the fossil
shark, says there can be no question that
the fossil shark differed in no essential
from its modern relative.
The terrible teeth are 256 in number
and arranged in four rows. Imagine the
biting and tearing power of such a col
lection Of jagged teeth.
The jaws of particularly large speci-
men of an existing man-eater were bor-
rowed from the Paris Museum OF Nat
The Washington times., 1922-09-03

urcd 120 feet in length, then his Jaws
were 1872 feet across, l6I9 feet from
jaw to jaw, and his mouth was 22 u feet
deep.
His stomach would have had an ex-
trcmc length Of about 33 feet and
diameter of % feet.
He would have weighed 246 tons if
built in the same proportions as an exist
required about 4 4 tons of flesh food
daily.
An expert of the American Museum
pointed out that the sharks mouth,
throat and stomach formed a continuous
sac without marked divisions as in higher
animals. All these parts can be expanded
to an indefinite extent. 1t is therefore
possible to imagine a shark swallowing
almost anything within the limits of its
length.
Sharks when hungry are exceedingly
voracious and will swallow literally any
thing. A ships captain reports that off
Port Darwin, Northern Australia, he saw
a great white shark swallow two dead
horses and barrel of spoiled salt pork,
wood and all. Such a creature might
swallow man entire without biting into
him.
And now as to the old Bible story
commonly known as "Jonah and the
Whale" The new scientific discoveries
offer very convincing evidence that the
great fish that swallowed the Hebrew
prophet was in fact shark.
II may be recalled that in the Bible
story the Lord ordered the prophet Jonah
