Hundreds of sharks surrounded the boat, and Uiiof Master at Arms George Strol lum was in his glory hunting sharks. hue Bteel hook, baited with meat, was thrown out at the end at lin. composed of steel chain and Manila rope. Strollum made , - w fcn-a vaVLHt'O nut there was one shark, the biggest i um senooi, which Strollum could not snare. Tempting morsels of meat were offerd, but the monster, i leet long, seemed to sense the presence of the hook, and winked at uio shark hunter as it nagged bv th alluring bait. Every shark, Thomnson ftavH. la preceded by two small fish which swim just ahead of the shark's nose. It one of these fish is killed its nlace is taken by another from some, where. The two fish are always present, acting as feelers and a scouting expedition for the monster. When a piece of pork was thrown into the water, the fish would inves ti;ate If there was no hook inside. they would so report, and the fehark would enjoy a meal, but as soon as a baited hook had been cast into the water, the small fish would advise the shark and the meal would be left to toss about on the waves. For several days Strollum tried to induce the shark to grab the hook without result.

The result is often an attack of panic, in which the swimmer exhausts himself and sinka. The remains of what is described aB the largest and most mysterious land animal that ;ever walked the earth have been found in Baluchintan The creature was probably more like a rhinoceros than like anv nfhor on imal of to-day, but it had a neck that suggests that of the giraffe. Two of tho neck bones, compared with similar bones of theilargest previous ly known land animals, make them look temall, and nothing but dynamite or a stump puller could have drawn one of its teeth. CT AND COMMENT When you see an idle young man you see a needy old man in the making. The most valuable help that a man ever gets is the help that he gives himself. In naming one of the new destrovera the Wasmuth the United States Navy has shown a fine spirit of democracv lor lienry Wasmuth, for whom the vessel is named, was a private in the Marine Corps. The deed bv which he perpetuated his memory at the cost of his life waas saving: the life of Adm. Robley D. Evans in 1898. Everyone knows that sittiner in a .moving train while another train pass es will produce in a passenger a sen sation of moving backward. When a person swims with the wind, and therefor with the waves, which travel faster than he can possibly swim.he gets the same sensation: that is, he thinks the undertow ia carrying him More and more students are apply ing for admission to the colleges, un til it has become a serious problem to know what to do with them. In spite of stricter entrance requirements the tide is unchecked. A New Eng land . college, which a few years ago did not have more than seven or eight hundred students, this year rejected two thousand applicants after accent ing six hundred of the freshman class. Other increases in enrollment are al most as great as healthy a sign in our after- the- war growth as anyone could hope for. ( FARM A.ND HOME POINTED , OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE The child's life, health, reserve vigor, are often dsmaced bv imnrnnor feeding, especially the cold lunch, should be selected with care, and prop erly prepared and packed and then "served with a hot dish at noon." A bowl of good, hot soup or a steaming cup or cocoa are among the appetizers and energizers sugtrested. Manv districts in Oregon are now beginning to serve one hot dish with the school lunch. 0. A.

Americans who are living in England are subject both to the British in come taxes and to those of their own country, an expensive predicament from which there seems to be no immediate escape. The report of the British commission on income taxes which has just appeared, says that the commission cannot recommend any change in the taxation of an income both by the government of the United Kingdom and by the government of a foreign state, and that foreigners who are living abroad continue to be taxed on their British income at the full (standard rate without allowances or reliefs.
