Sharks Doom
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE.

DI JhMES J. NUN 1huUE.
Three cheers for his majesty's navy.
Full many a fight 1t has won,
It's power Is hurled
Around the whole world,
Grand, glorious deeds has it done.
And still is the navy not idle,
Let us trust that it never will be.
Till its feet in its might
Has won one more fight
And driven the sharks from the sea.
Too long In the depths of the ocean,
In fact, since the time Of the Ark,
With a glistening wreath
OF keen man-killing teeth
Has journeyed the an-eating shark
Too long has this saber-toothed mon
ster,
In inlet and strait and in bay,
Its Jaws opened wide
Darted up through the tide
In q tigerish search for its prey.
But this peril VIII shortly be ended.
The sharks will begin to feel qualms
When, to watery graves
Far under the waves.
They'll be harried with dynamite
bombs.
High time Uncle Sam joined the
roundup.
And helped old John Bull carry on
Till the very last shark
Lies slaughtered and stark,
And the plague Of the oceans Is gone.

DR.. Carl Hartman, now Of Hopkins
University. was the first to discover
the strange birth Of the opossum
young, and carry his research to COM
pletion. The infants at birth weigh
3 or 4 grains and are about an inch
long. They are naked. blind and have
nozzlelike mouth. With their we'll
developed front feet, they climb
through their mothers hair and reach
the open pouch-the first incubator
babies of America! Here the imma-
ture infants nnd a milk bottle, and
stay there for three or four weeks,
before they let 60. At this time they
are permitted to get some fresh air
and are fully developed babies.
The opossum is at the foot Of the
class. His 10 is very low. His only
form Of defense is playing dead"
which he does the minute he finds
himself puzzled as to what he
should do.

A LTHOUGH we always associate
- bagpipes with the Highlands of
Scotland, they did not originate there,
as is commonly believed. This in
strument was once common among
the Egyptians, the Greeks and the
Romans and, in fact, was common
at one time throughout the whole of
Europe. Chaucer mentions his miller
skilled in playing the bagpipe, and
Shakespeare refers to the "drone of a
Lincolnshire bagpipe"
This instrument has fingered in the
Highlands of Scotland, although it
has practically disappeared in other
countries except in the Tyrol and
certain regions of Ireland. 1t is the
national instrument of Scotland.
