Sailors Explode Sharks.

The men in the fleet blockading Havana beguiled the weary days by shark fishing on somewhat novel lines. Thej men fasten a small dynamite cartridge* to the end of a wire attached to an electric machine. A lump of pork is at-j tached to the cartridge and thrown, overboard, and as soon as the creature swallows the bait the current is turned, on, the dynamite explodes, and the, shark is blown to pieces.
