When the Challenger was in the south Pacific, a “hump-back” whale followed } clusion that the scientific staf! could “ome to was that the monster mistook the ship for a brother “hump-back.” The shark {s trequently attended by sucker fish and when the latter have lost their shark they often cling to a vessel for days together, under the mistaken {dea that the bulky craft is their long-lost friend. So, too, with that other friend of the shark—the pilot fish. One of these fish will swim for days just before a vessel's bow, which it believes to be a shark's snout. As time goes on and the huge “shark” does not seize any food and drop the hungry but faithful pilot fish some dainty morsels, the latter de- parts, thinking, no doubt, that it never before accompanied so stupid and ia- considerate a shark, | \t for nearly a week, and the only con- | | present plight of the nation's farmers, | | terms as to other industries. | the farmers’ place in the national so- | justment of affairs between | and southern Ireland. | frained from voting in support of the NATIONAL FARMERS’ CONFERENCE OPENS Harding Makes Declaration of Interest and Sympathy With Agriculturists.
