BASKING SHARK NEVER BITES u This May Have Been Fortunate fee Men Who Caught Monster Off Long Key. * The 40,000-ponnd sea monster caught off Ix>ng Key has been Identi fied as an Indo-Paclflc basking shark by L. L. Mowbray, vice president of the New Turk aquarium. The bask ing shark, M r. Mowbray announces, la harmless when let alone. Permit him to bask placidly on the undulating bosom of the sea, and be bears ne creature 111 will. I t Is fortunate for those who go down to the sea In ships or down to the surf to swim that the creature Is thus disposed. It required an all-day struggle and 50 shots from a high-pow ered rifle to subdue him, once his w rath was stirred by the stab of a harpoon. H e was 35 feet long. 28 feet In greatest circumference and had a ta ll span of 12 fe e t Were such a creuture of un aggres sive nature the sea in hts vicinity would be "hardly safe for the average submarine, while pleasure boats would afford no protection whatever from his fury, and If he used the waters of -the North Atlantic const as a basking ground surf bathing would soon be come obsolete. H itherto the children nt Ihe earth have found abundant reason for grati tude that rattlesnakes cunnot fly like hawks, or tigers run like antelopes, or houseflies sting like wasps. To this list of blessings we may now add the fact that basking shurks do not bite. — New York Times. HEALTHY BABIES OF JAP'.H They Seem to Have a Hard Time, Ac cording to Our Ideas, but Thrive Nevertheless. I According to our modern scientific Ideas an to the careful treatment of babies, those of Japan would seem to have a hard time, and yet there are no -healthier, nor fatte r looking little mor tals on the face of the earth.

I t Is to be feared, however, that this tatter treatment often does affect the eyes of the chil dren, though they get over It later In life. At Nagasaki, among the women coalers who coal the ship, you may see many with bsbles on their backs The mothers work all day In the rain or la the sun, or the snow, and thrre baby sleeps, Indifferent to everything, the top of Its head alone visible, while the movements of the mother do not seem In the least hindered, and she as If the babies of this class were born stoical Modern Jerusalem. T he ancient city of Jerusalem, where Christ did so many of his mighty works, now has a modern waterworks system. The reservoirs known as the Pools of Solomon were not really Solomon's at all, but were made by Roman engineers. These have been cleaned out and their leaks stopped. Now two o f them are at work again. They hold 40,000,000 gallons. The pools are supplied from a spring In a cavern called B lr Dararih. A large quantity of gravel and stones has been removed, and the aqueduct and tunnels between the spring and the pools repaired; and Jerusalem has Its up-to-date waterworks— a splendid tribute to the science of ancient Rome. F o r many years the origin of Jeru salem's w ater supply was a secret. During the siege of Jerusalem the be siegers were disappointed In their hope o f the city surrendering through lack of water. Uncle Jaaper. “Proverbs ain't always correct," be gan Uncle Jasper. ‘T i l cite you a case. Some years ago Rothschild de cided to add to his collection of mosaea and lichens from many parts o f the world, but he wanted more. He wanted moss from the Urals, from the Arctic circle, from the tip end of Pata gonia. H e was ready to pay a good salary. And who did he employ to gather this moss? A rolling stone.”— Louisville Courier-Journal. CANNED MUSIC IN YUCATAN Demand far American Talking Ma chines Is Brisk, Bays Our Consul at Pregrese. The talking machine Is as popular la Yucatan as la the Uatted State«, according to a report to the Depart ment of Commerce from O. O. Marsh, United States consul at Progreso. Small, cheap Instruments cheer the In dian hut, ordinary machines are found In middle-class homes, and the most elaborate cabinet styles grace the man sions of the wealthy. Perhaps no other modern invention has done more to enliven these homes An enterpris ing local dealer has popularized and capitalized this Idea In a phrase: “How happy is the home that has Its phono graph." The American machine has monopo lized the m a rk e t Old styles with horn have hud an extensive sale, but cabinet designs are preferred by most customers A few portable Instru ments have been sold. Practically all orders have been placed by Importers direct with fac tories on factory-price quotations, ra il way and steamship freight and ma rine Insurance being attended to by American agents of importers or by freight forwarders at American ports The largest Importer, and the one who has done a large part of the local busi ness, has purchased on open c re d it Other firms have been, and w ill have to be dealt with In accordance w ith their financial standing and credit rating. The moat recent shipment by a manufacturer just entering the Ynca- tan market, was on a documents against payment basis. Almost all records sold In Yucatan are of well-known American makes The most popular have been American fox trots and Latin-American songs and dance music. The principal Im porters have dealt with manufacturers of records on the same basis as w ith makers o f phonographs, but a consid erable number of records enter In a manner difficult to trace and are sold at varying prices by small dealers. Blue Law. When they closed the bar on one o f the transatlantic liners bound for the land of liberty one of the passen gers protested. “Seems like you're closing up awful soon; how fa r are we from land, anyway?" “Just about three miles," answered the steward politely. “Funny we can't see It 1“ "You could. If the wnter were clear enough."— Los Angeles Tlr..ea. No Trespassing.
