(ludfior. Tlio article was entitled: "W'iiat Sharks Really Kat." We 

 think it interesting to quote here Oliver Ilerford's valuable suggestion 

 in the matter of shark diet: 



From the shark, my child, I pray, 

 Do not recoil or turn away! 

 'Tis true, the shark is n< t the ])ink 

 Of nice propriety; but think! 

 Think of the horrid sailor-men 

 He has to swallow now and then, 

 With all their untold yarns inside. 

 And lots of fearful oaths, beside! 

 Put yourself in his place, my child- 

 Could you keep spotless, undefiled? 

 If only we could make a list 

 Of all on whom he should subsist. 

 No home, I'll venture to remark. 

 Would be complete without a shark. 



Mr. Nichols believes his vacation to be approximately over. He 

 admits having become rather tired of it. 



Dr. Gudger has recently returned from his vacation in very good 

 spirits. When closely questioned, he will confess to having spent it in 

 Waynesville, in the mountains of North Carolina. Waynesville is at an 

 elevation of 2,800 feet, and is surrounded by mountain peaks 5,000 and 

 6,000 feet high. Accordingly, Dr. Gudger had a high time there. 



During three weeks in August, Mr. Camp collected herpetological 

 and fossil specimens in the Painted Desert of Arizona, for the University 

 of California. A good deal of material was obtained. In part of his 

 labors, he had the assistance of a light-hearted cowboy with a lively in- 

 terest in "hypergl^T^hics." Together they pried up and toppled over 

 ancient monoliths of the desert, to see what was underneath. When the 

 work of collecting was finished, Mr. Camp, in an interval of abstraction, 

 turned westward and wandered across the Sierras to a place in California 

 known locally as Los Angeles. There he was detained for a time by 

 several circumstances, but eventually wandered back again to the Mu- 

 seum fold.
