E South Sea Islanders Fear Them as the Abode of Ghosts. HOLD SOULS OF THEIR DEAD. The Native Offer Gifts and Food, 8ometimes Human, to Appease the Man Eaters The Hawaiians Used to Feed Their Dead to the Monsters. In view of the wide distribution of harks and their strength and ferocity, qualities which appealed to the savage Wind, It Is not strange that the cult of hark worship should have arisen. This worship Is especially common in the south seas, where sharks are very nu . merous, says the Detroit Free Press. In the Solomon islands living sacred objects aro chiefly sharks, alligators, snakes, etc. Sharks are In all these is lands very often thought to be the abode of ghosts, as natives will at times before their death ,announce that they will appear as sharks. Afterward any shark remarkable for slzo or color which Is observed to haunt a certain shore or rock Is taken to be some one's ghost, and tlie name of the deceased is given to It. Such a one was Sautahlmatawa at TJlnwa, a dreaded man eater, to which offerings of porpoise teeth were made. At Saa certain food, such as cocoanuts from certain trees, Is reserved to feed ,bucu a ghost shark, and there are cer tain men of whom It is known that after death they will be In sharks. These, therefore, are allowed to eat such food in the sacred place. In Saa and Ulawa if a sacred shark had at tempted to seize a man and he had escaped the people would be so much afraid of the shark's anger that they would throw the man back in the sea to "be drowned. These sharks also were thought to aid in catching the bonlto. for taking which supernatural power was necessary. In the Banks islands a shark may be a tangaroa, a sort of familiar spirit or the abode of one. Some years ago Manurwar, son of Mala, the chief man In Vanua Lava, had such a shark. He had given money to a Manwo man to, send it to him. It was very tame and1 would come up to him when he went down to the beach at Nawono hnd follow along in the surf as he walked along the shore. In the New Ilebrjdes some men hare the power, the native believe, of changing themselves Into sharks. The Samoan native believed that his gods appeared In some visible incar nation, and the pnrticular thing in which It was in the habit of appear ing was to him an object of venera- tlon. Many worshiped the shark In this way, and while they 'would freely partake of the gods of others they felt that death would be the penalty should they eat their own god. The god was supposed to avenge the in sult by taking up his abode in the offender's body and causing to gen erate there the very thing which be had eaten until it produced death. In one village Taenia, the war god, was present In a bundle of shark's teeth. These curiosities were done up in a piece of native cloth and consulted be fore going to battle. If the bundle felt heavy that was a bad omen, but If light the sign was good, and off they Went to the fight. In the Fiji islands, Viavia and other gods claim the shark as their abode; and their devotees must never eat of that fish, for if they did they would be partaking of the god himself. It Was In the rinwntlan Islands, how ever, that shark worship reached its greatest perfection. Its worship was qulfe common on the' Islands, each one having a special shark as his ances tral god. The worship of sharks was due largely to, the fact that the belief In the transmigration of souls is quite general rfmong the Polynesians, and the ITawalians would feed their dead to the shnrk's under" the supposition thnt in this way the soul of the dead would enter the sharks and so animate the latter as to Incline thcra to respect the bodies' of the living. Several of the African coast tribes worship the shark. Three or four times In the year they celebrate the festival of the shark, which is done in this vise: They all row but in their boats to the middle of theriver, where they Invoke, with the strangest ceremonies, the protection of the great shark. They offer to him poultry and goats in order to satisfy bis sacred appetite. But this Is nothing. An Infant is every year sacrificed to the monster, which has been feted and nourished for the sac rifice from Its birth to the age of ten. On the day of toe fete It is bound to a post on a sandy point at low water. As the tide rises the Child may utter cries or terror, bnt they are of no rail, as It Is abandoned to the wares, and the sharks Soon arrive to finish its ' agony and thus permit It to enter into feeaven. - ..The Polynesians hare an ancient fa feie treating of the flight of Ina, the langhter of Vattoringa and Ngaetna, to the sacred Isle. After the sole damped her at the edge of the break ' r with such disastrous results to It self from the aagry princess the latter summoned the shark and by its help succeeded In reaching the sacred Is land. FeeHnr thirsty during the toy age, Ina tracked a cocoannt on the bark's forehead, and this accounts for the bump new found on the forehead all sharks. Ahestutaly Hopeless.

A farmer, plowing W,1fh ibfee"hoVses hitched abreast, noticed' thai; the mid-' die horse became tired and exhausted Ion:; before either of lis mates. As the animal was the equal In every way of the other two, he was puzzled as to the cause of Its not being able to stand the same amount of work. He finally observed, however, thnt as they drew the plow along the three horses bald, their noses close togeth er, with the re:ult that the middle horse was compelled to breathe the ex pired air from Its fellows. The farmer then procured a long Jockey" stick, which he fastened with straps to the bits of the outside horses. The device worked perfectly, for. given Its right ful shnre of good, fresh air. the mid dle horse was able to do the same amount of work and with no greater fatigue .than its fellows. Many persons are like the middle horse they do not get their rightful shnre of pure air. And this is why they are not able to perforin as much work nor of ns good a quality as they would otherwise be able to do. Chi cago Tribune. A Ticklish Moment. If to act cleverly on the spot Is the measure of tact, then the mnu who figures in the subjoined New York Tribune story .deserves both respect nnd admiration: A woman, driving through New Englnnd last summer, noticed suddenly that her horse limped a bit, so when she reached the next village she stopped at the door of the blacksmith shop. A man was holding up the doorpost, and to hlin she said: "Will you please tell the blacksmith to come out? I want to see him." After the . manner of the ' village idler, the mnn did not stir, but smiled sweetly at the woman and. lifting up his voice, called: ' "Bill, come out! There's a lady wants to see you." From the depths of the blacksmith shop a deeper voice roared: "Is'she young, John, or old?" In the words of the old poem, "she looked at John and John looked at her." Then, still without moving, he answered: "You'll be satisfied. Bill, when you get out." Survival of the Fittest. Only one oyster embryo out of every 5,000,000 produced grows up through all the successive stages of youth to the adult state. Even in animals which produce a small number of young there is great destruction, and. taking all the individuals Into consid eration, only a single pair of young arrive at maturity to replace their par ents. There is no exception to the, rule thnt every organic being naturally multiplies at so high a rate that If not destroyed the progeny of a single pair would soon cover the earth. The elephant Is reckoned the slowest breed er of known animals. It commences to breed at thirty years of age, dies at 100 nnd has six young In the inter val. After 750 years, supposing nil the offspring of a single pair fulfilled the rule and were not destroyed In nn untimely way, there would be nearly 19,000,000 elephants alive descended from the first pair.

It Contained a Lesson For the Man With a Grievance, An old farmer once called at the White House and complained thnt the Union soldiers in passing his farm bad helped themselves not only to hny, but to his horse, and he hoped the presi dent would urge the proper ofllcer to consider his claim immediately. "Why, my dear sir," replied Mr. Lin coln blandly, "I couldn't think of such a thing. If 1 consider Individual cases I should find work enough for twenty presidents." The caller urged his needs persistent ly, and Mr. Lincoln declined good nn turedly. "But," said the persevering sufferer, "couldn't you Just give me a line to Colonel about it Just one line?" "Ha, ha, ha!" responded the presi dent, crossing his legs. "That reminds me of old Jack Chase out In Illinois.

Finally a steamer was put on, nnd Jack he's dead now, poor fellow! wns made captain of it. He always used to take the wheel going through the rapids.

One of the most apt Illustrations ever made by Lord Kelvin was his likening the lumlnlferous ether to a mass of shoemakers' wux. What Lord Kelvin said of shoemakers' wax may be tested by any boy In n manner that will astonish bis playmates. First let It be said that the ether penetrates all Spnce. it Is as rigid as steel and yet so flexible that it does not retard the passage of planets through space In the least. It Is an Invisible substance which travels in waves through nil things. Now, to Illustrate the nature of such a paradoxical material Lord Kelvin searched everywhere and , at last concluded thnt shoemakers wax represented it best. He made tests, and this Is what he found: He melted some wax in a common glass tumbler. After It had hardened he tried to thrust a lead pencil through It It would not go. Then be placed a coin on the surface of the wax and left it there for several days. When he agalu visited It the coin bad sunk to the bottom of the glass. The wax had closed over it, and by lifting up the glass and looking through the bot tom he could see the coin lying there. Hnd the wax been ns doep as a well the coin would have gone on sinking until It reached the bottom. This proved that the wax would conform only to very slow movements. If he had tried to push it too fast it would have ro slsted him. An Idea struck the scientist. If the wax acted like this toward the coin, how would It treat an object which floated? He accordingly placed a cork In a tumbler and poured hot shoe makers' wax upon It. The wax hard ened with the cork at the bottom. Yet when Lord Kelvin looked at the bot tom of the glass In a day or two he found the cork hnd disappeared. It was somewhere In the mass of wax and probably rising very slowly, but surely, toward the top. Sure enough, after a given period of time the cork peeped above the surface of the hard wax, and finally it rose to a point where It remained bnlf Imbedded In the wax. Just as it wouldLave done in a glass of water. It rose no higher, than this, however, and a corkscrew probably would not have pulled it from the wax. T-et Its own buoyancy hnd raised it up from the bottom through what seemed an Impenetrable mass of wax. This, In fact, Is the peculiarity of shoemakers' wax that it resists all sudden or quick movements, but Is highly susceptible to very slow nnd prolonged pressure. If you pressed a flatlron hard down on a lump of wax on a table ft Is probable you would make no Impression on It, but If you left that iron resting on the wax for a day or two you would find the lump flattened out under the iron. So curi ous Is this property of the wax that tuning forks have been cast from pieces of It. These forks were capa ble of vibration, giving a musical note nnd being set going by vibration from another tuning fork, yet when pne of them was laid across the open mouth of a jar It slowly collapsed and fell Into the Jar in a shapeless, sticky mass.
