Not all sharks are man-eaters. Most
persons who have fallen victim to
sharks have been eaten merely be-
cause they happened to be AT hand
j. G. Bell Of the American museum ex-
amined the contents Of the stomachs
of more than thirty tiger sharks
Most of the sharks were from nine
to twelve feet long, and 76 per cent
Of them had been eating such crea-
lures as sea turtles, other sharks and
large rays and porpoises. Thirty-eight
per cent had eaten variety of small
or creatures--crGbs, horseshoe crabs
mackere, sbad and other ashland
one had eaten a water bird Six per
cent. probably in their role of scayen-
gers, had swallowed the bones Of de
nestle animals; one shark contained
among other material beef bones and
hair. and a second, which landed on
the dock still alive. vomited several
small mammal bones, among which
were the leg bones of three sheep
Ordinary sharks constituted the
largest single item Of diet for the
tiger sharks that Mr.. Bell examined

one OF the most thrilling of ali
sports is pig-Sticking. Armed with
Steel-pointed bamboo spear some
seven or eight feet long, and mount

pig.Sticker waits outside patch Of
covert until the beaterS' cries announce
that wild boar has gone away lie
then gall0ps after the quarry, ac-
companied by several other riders all
intent on winning the honor which
goes to the first spear"
The Indian boar is large and
powerful beast standing some 10
inches In height and armed with
formidable tuskS, which he uses to
good purpose He is the craftleSt
of animals and the finest of fighters
After him 90 the sportsmen They
have no chance OF catching him for
some time, for in his first burst the
pig will outdistance any horse. At
last one rider, drawing away from the
rest gets within sticking distance.
Quick as lightning The boar links"
or jumps TO one side.
Next moment horse and rider are
struggling on the ground, for piggy
has charged hard and true throw
ing them both If help is not at hand
he will wound or even kill his antag-
onist.
His tuskS, nine or ten inches in
length, he uses as chiSelS, ripping
and tearing with them In his fury.
Luckily, the second man is close up,
and after fierce fight the pig is
speared Here is form of sport that
no one could accuse of tameness.
