It isa mistaken idea that rail-
roads build a town, it is the men
behind the town that bring about
big results, the railroads are a
factor in the upbuilding of any

but it takes push and enterprise
to bring about the desired re-
sults.

another tumble.
W. G. Pope and Miss Ada
Hart drove to town Tuesday ahd
after securing the necessary

People of the Tropics Have 8omewhat
s Cruel Way of Dealing with
Date^ted Enemy.
For many years the question as to
whether sharks will attack living hu-
man beings when in the water has
been hotly debated by scientists,
sportsmen and laymen- in general.
¡ Practically none of the dissenters
lives in the tropics. Put the direct
question to an inhabitant of tropical
countries who lives on the seashore
and he will unhesitatingly reply in
the affirmative.
The average Panamanian would con-
sider the question foolish. The bay on
the Pacific side abounds in sharks,
and none of the natives will ever take
a swim in the deep waters of it. Some
foreigners used to do so until one of
the engineers working on the canal
during the French regime, a young
Colombian named Jules Patterson,
was killed by a shark a number of
years ago. When his body was recov-
ered it had been almost entirely
stripped of flesh.
This incident led to a war of reprisal
on the sharks. Many of the natiyes
are content with* simply catching and
killing them, but the favorite method
is called "crucifying." The shark is
hooked and drawn on deck, care be-
ing taken to s$e that he cannot use
his terrible mouth for biting. He is
laid down on boards and his fins se-
curely nailed thereto in such a way
that he cannot use them. The tail is
then cut close off. and the unfortunate
animal thrown overboard. He cannot
swim and he cannot steer himself. He
is helpless and the other members of
his own family attack and devour
him.
Fox Committed Suicide.
During a run of the Gedworth
(Eng.) foxhounds recently the fox
in order to escape from the hounds
jumped down a 30-foot well, and it is
presumed that he committed suicide.
After being told the story an official
of the Zoological society said that no
animal ever intentionally ends its life.
"I can only recall two creatures,"
he said, "who are supposed to com-
mit suicide, and they are the scorpion
and the wasp. I have never quite
satisfied myself as to these creatures.
They both appear to kill themselves
by their own stings, but I have always
thought the death was accidental."
