From this point Edgar Rice Burroughs puts his strange "hero"
through many wondrous paces, and eventually evolves some
thing that functions like a man with a strong undercurrent
of mucker. It is a strange study in psychology, and readers
who have followed the Burroughs serials in the Evening
Ledger will find the "The Mucker" a story so different from
the previous Burroughs romances as to make them question
the authorship, were it not for the vivid narrative power and
moving incident yhich stamp all Burroughs' stories.

Inclosed Bathing Beach Cuts Down
Mortality From Mancnters
TJurban, Nntal, a city of CIl.OOO popula
tion on the southwest coast of South Africa,
250 miles from Capetown, has solved tho
shnrl: problem. Lying, ns It docs, along the
more troplcnl currents of tho Indian Ocean,
which nre numerously Infested with sharks
nnd other deep sea monsters, the city hnd
suffered the loss of flvo citizens a day dur
ing the bathing seasons through the hunger
nnd ferocity of man-eating sharks.
Now Durban, Nntnl, has a bathing beach
entirely Inclosed In n pier made of piles, j
Interwoven with Iron netting. The piles aro I
of Iron and are Imbedded In cement. Thei
Iron netting li strung between. No slinrl:j
can come within It.
"Bathers thorc," says Fred Browne, oV
6207 Webster street, who resided In thr
South African city 14 years, "often watchud
sharks nose up to this Iron netting In
search of human food. But they know
they nre safe. Tho sharks, too, have now
learned that they cannot get Into tho In
closure and have virtually nbandoned tho
plnco. When they want to eat a man
they go up the Indian Ocean to some primi
tive bench nhcro a native South African
sometimes but not very often may be
hnd."
Mr. Brown says the protective pier is
built in the shape of a half moon, extending
out from the shore nbout 250 feet.
