C^rTAiN o. H. baxlt, jß.sr., informed | the " Gape Times," of Aueust 5, of a fatal encounter between a Boer prisoner of war and a shark in Simon's Bay. Oa Tuesday, July 30, tbe prisoners were bathing. One of them (Chandler, by name), dived off a rock, and was immediately seized by a large shark, which first of all bit his right arm off, and then one of his legs at the thigh. Chandler, being a very powerful man, fought with tbe brute, and actually nearly dragged him ashore, but he let go in about three feet of water, and Chandler managed to crawl on to , « cock. He vfM then carried to tbe hospital ia the camp, where be died aboub hall an hour afterwards. Telegraphing on 4th August, the Brussels ooirespondent of " The Times," referred to the fact that tbe first half-yearly instalments of 32f. 50c. (£1 6a) under the Government Old-age Pensions Act wera then payable to persons of either sex over the age of 65. "An annual sum of 65f. (or about £2 12s) would hardly (he said) be dignified with the title of pension in countries where tbe industrial Btruggie is leaa keen tbao ia BolßUim. Ot natinnikl thrift less universal ; yet no fewer than 175,000 old people are now on the register and. though a dole of less than 21 a day is insufficient to keep body and soul together in case of absolute indigence, it is welcomed as a useful nnpplemenb by those whose earnings barely suffice to provide them with the first necessaries of life. As a legislative experiment tbe result has been looked forward, to with some interest, and the applicants for the pension bate greatly excelled the number prophesied by the opponents of the bill."
