Thousands of dol- lars:are wasted daily in advertising, but the man vyho prepares his copy carefully and painstakingly, and systemizes his pub-| licity, pays less and is certain of results.

Sailors have a saying that where the shark is the pilot fish will be found. The accompanying illustra- tion shows a pilot fish, or shark-suck- | er, as it is often called, attached to the side of a snub-nosed shark. The | sucker fish is so small that it appears to ‘be an. additioual fin on the side of the deep-sea monster. It attaches itself to the surface of other fish by means of a sucking disk. The pilot fish, however, dogs no “piloting,” though it certainly dees suggest to | the nautical mind a brisk little pilot boat bringing a big ship to port. Ap- parently it merely desires to have a comfortable: resting place or at most to get a {ree ride, like the small boy “hanging behind.” The pilot fish, explains a writer in the Illustrated World, seems especial- ly fond of attaching itself to sharks and turtles, but when these are not at hand it hangs to any convenient object. This characteristic has led to the curfous custom among some primitive tribes of employing a sucker fish as a lve fish-hook—not bait—for catching How the Shark-Sucker Attaches Itself to the Snub-Nosed Shark. other fish or turtle. A metal ring is placed around the tall of the sucker fish so that a line can be fastened to it. The fish is then threwn over anu at once darts away to the nenreht refuge, which Is apt to be a large tur- tle' that has been sighted by the fish- ecrman. When the turtle is reached the sucker fish attaches its disk against the side of the animal, which is then drawn in by means of the line. | As soon as the turtle or shark is { drawn above the waterline, the sucker fish drops back’ Into the water and seeks another host.—Philadelphia Led- | ger.
