Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.       carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from       its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;       or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. {Shark}, v. t. & i.);       cf. Corn. scarceas.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch             fishes of the order Plagiostomi, found in all seas.          Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,                grow to an enormous size, the former becoming forty                feet or more, and the latter sixty feet or more, in                length. Most of them are harmless to man, but some are                exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly                belong to the genera {Carcharhinus}, {Carcharodon}, and                related genera. They have several rows of large sharp                teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark                ({Carcharodon carcharias, [or] Rondeleti}) of tropical                seas, and the great blue shark ({Carcharhinus glaucus})                of all tropical and temperate seas. The former                sometimes becomes thirty-six feet long, and is the most                voracious and dangerous species known. The rare                man-eating shark of the United States coast                ({Charcarodon Atwoodi}) is thought by some to be a                variety, or the young, of {C. carcharias}. The dusky                shark ({Carcharhinus obscurus}), and the smaller blue                shark ({C. caudatus}), both common species on the coast                of the United States, are of moderate size and not                dangerous. They feed on shellfish and bottom fishes.          2. A rapacious, artful person; a sharper. [Colloq.]          3. Trickery; fraud; petty rapine; as, to live upon the shark.             [Obs.] --South.          {Baskin shark}, {Liver shark}, {Nurse shark}, {Oil shark},       {Sand shark}, {Tiger shark}, etc. See under {Basking},             {Liver}, etc. See also {Dogfish}, {Houndfish},             {Notidanian}, and {Tope}.          {Gray shark}, the sand shark.          {Hammer-headed shark}.

The steam issues from a narrow annular             orifice around the upper edge of the lower cup or             hemisphere, striking the thin edge of the bell above it,             and producing sound in the manner of an organ pipe or a             common whistle.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Leprosy       (Heb. tsara'ath, a "smiting," a "stroke," because the disease       was regarded as a direct providential infliction). This name is       from the Greek lepra, by which the Greek physicians designated       the disease from its scaliness. We have the description of the       disease, as well as the regulations connected with it, in Lev.       13; 14; Num. 12:10-15, etc. There were reckoned six different       circumstances under which it might develop itself, (1) without       any apparent cause (Lev. 13:2-8); (2) its reappearance (9-17);       (3) from an inflammation (18-28); (4) on the head or chin       (29-37); (5) in white polished spots (38, 39); (6) at the back       or in the front of the head (40-44).                Lepers were required to live outside the camp or city (Num.       5:1-4; 12:10-15, etc.). This disease was regarded as an awful       punishment from the Lord (2 Kings 5:7; 2 Chr. 26:20). (See       {MIRIAM}; {GEHAZI}; {UZZIAH}.)                This disease "begins with specks on the eyelids and on the       palms, gradually spreading over the body, bleaching the hair       white wherever they appear, crusting the affected parts with       white scales, and causing terrible sores and swellings. From the       skin the disease eats inward to the bones, rotting the whole       body piecemeal." "In Christ's day no leper could live in a       walled town, though he might in an open village. But wherever he       was he was required to have his outer garment rent as a sign of       deep grief, to go bareheaded, and to cover his beard with his       mantle, as if in lamentation at his own virtual death. He had       further to warn passers-by to keep away from him, by calling       out, 'Unclean! unclean!' nor could he speak to any one, or       receive or return a salutation, since in the East this involves       an embrace."                That the disease was not contagious is evident from the       regulations regarding it (Lev. 13:12, 13, 36; 2 Kings 5:1).       Leprosy was "the outward and visible sign of the innermost       spiritual corruption; a meet emblem in its small beginnings, its       gradual spread, its internal disfigurement, its dissolution       little by little of the whole body, of that which corrupts,       degrades, and defiles man's inner nature, and renders him unmeet       to enter the presence of a pure and holy God" (Maclear's       Handbook O.T). Our Lord cured lepers (Matt. 8:2, 3; Mark       1:40-42). This divine power so manifested illustrates his       gracious dealings with men in curing the leprosy of the soul,       the fatal taint of sin.
