PRAISES SHARK

Worth Is Uttle Known.

Washington. Willi flip more fre
quent appearance of now sea foods lu
our markets, I lie tnilli of tlie old say
ing, "There lire as Rood fish In the
sou ns have ever heen caught," Is
acquiring a new application. This Is
especially true of a large family of
fishes representatives of which occur
un all shores of the sea and In all
dimes the sharks, strong, active,
gracefully shaped fishes, varying In
length from a few Inches to fifty feet
or more, which offer a wholesome,
palatable and nutritious food, compar
ing favorahly In dietary qualities with
many of the highly priced sea foods.
Many people, Indeed, have recog
nized flielr value and have utilized
them extensively for food. In the
countries honlerlng on the .Mediter
ranean anil in Oreiit 1'rilain. Norway
and Sweden they are well known us
valuable and nutritious foods. At
Folkestone, Knglanil, the (lesh of one
of the small sharks, sailed and dried,
Is marketed ns "Folkestone beef." Un
til recently their use as a food In the
fulled Stales has been limited prin
cipally to seafaring people. In scattered
localities and to tin; fish markets of
some of our larger cities, but with
late interest aroused In new sea foods
they are finding a place In our largest
fish-dlstriliullng centers and have ap
peared on tlu; menus of some of the
leading hotels In several cities.
Of Wide Distribution.
As already Intimated, sharks are of
whin distribution, occurring In all
sens from the equator to polar waters,
but In greatest abundance In the
tropics. Those, however, taken In the
cooler waters of the temperate zones
nrn among the most desirable species
for food, and It Is from these thnt the
principal supply for the markets of
this country Is obtained.
I.Ike the cod, squcteagiie, hliicfNIi
mid other well-known fishes, sharks
feed mainly on lislies, crabs, mollusks
and other small form living In the
sen, Ihelr method of fiuaglng and cap
ture lu many cases being unusual and
Interesting. The thrasher shark uses
Its whip like tall, which Is as long as
Its body, to splash the water as It
swims round and round a school of
llsh In ever narrowing circles, crowd
ing the fish closer ami closer together
until the moment of attack.
I be graytlsh, sand sharks and somn
other species work In schools and do
1 1 1 t hcttltntc to attack the fish taken
In the llshorincn's nets, the larger
forms tearing the nets mid liberating
the catch.
The economic iies to which these
forms limy lie put are somewhat
varied. At one lime large quantities
of Hie hides, cleaned hut not tanned,
were used for polishing wood. Ivory,

Will Also Be Electric Powered, Accord
ing to Plans Worked Out by
Research Engineers.-'
Philadelphia. The ship of the fu
ture will be entirely electric welded
and electric powered, according to de
signs and plans worked out by re
search engineers. No rivets, no angle
Irons, a saving in cost of construction
and material, and greater safety and
efficiency are among the claims of Its
designers.
for nearly two years research engi
neering experts have been working out
a design for a 0,300-ton freighter,
single-screw, with a speed of eleven
knots per hour and a cruising radius
of 7,000 miles.
In planning a ship which could most
successfully meet the exacting de
mands of post-war merchant marine
shipping It was deemed necessary to
utilize the great economies not only of
electric welding but of electric propul
sion, electric-driven auxiliaries and
electric-driven ship and deck machin
ery. The hull Is electric welded through
out, nnd therefore wholly without riv
ets In Us construction. All plates are
abutted without lapping straps or
angles, and then are welded with a
joint which the engineers claim will
be 1)5 per cent or 100 per cent as strong
as the steel moinliers themselves. This
eliminates all overlapping steel In plat
ing, angle irons or rivets. The saving
of steel from this elimination on one
ship, according to the designers, will
he distributed ns follows:
MARINES PKOTKCT AMKIUC.W
lXTKKKSTS IX CHINA
Overlapping of plates at joints. ...203 tons
Angle irons uniting structural
parts ISO tons
Liners 29 tons
IUvet hetuls 5SS tons
Cable despatches of another upris
ing in China are being closely fol
lowed by the sea-soldiers of the Ma
rine Corps recruiting force at Port
land, Oregon.
Their interest is natural for a bat
talion of Marines is held in readiness
for just such' a contingency as a lec
tion, guard at Peking, China, under
the command of Colonel Luis Mason
Gulick. Ar.d within the call of t ie
wireless another battalion of Marines
can speertelv be landed from the
cruisers, of the Asiatic Fleet ant' rush
ed to Pekitifj or any other point of
trouble. Already a small detachment
of the handy fighting men have been
despatched to Tut),;-Cho from the le
gation guard, where looting and dis
order are going on, and if necessary
will bring the American residents to
Peking. A Shanghai cable last week
brought, news that two American Ma
rines, operating a 'Lewis machine gun
mine' a land of f ;f?ands on ia
outskirts i f (.atmking in Central
China.
These two men, Corporal Elmer G.
Glaser, of Milwaukee, and Private
Earl F. Witherill of Cheyenne, Wyo.
got theif- piece into action when the
American steamship Robert Dallor
was fired on by bandits from the
banks of the Yangtse and from sampans.
The Marines won laurels during
the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, two re
giments taking part in the capture
of Tientsin and in the march to the I
relief of the besieged legations at
Peking, and when the monarchist re-;
hellion of 1916 threatened to set the
East ablaze the Marines were on the
job again. !
Total 4S0 tons
In order that electric welders may
work with the greatest ease, speed,
efficiency and reliability, most of the
welding Is to be done on a flat horizon
tal surface, very little on a vertical
surface, and practically none on over
head work.

IBECS S'.V!P.1 INTO STATUE
The Good Railway Service Asso
ciation of California is calling the
attention of all its members to the
June report of the Pacific Car Demur
rage Bureau, showing that 10,000
more cars were held beyond free
time In that month over June of
1919, the demurrage charges increas
ing from $34,011 to $63,797.
Commenting further upon a state
ment Issued by K. M. Nicoles, chair
man of the San Francisco committee
on car service, officials of theGood
Railway Service Association point out
that while It Is possible that shippers
can afford to lose $63,797 in demur
age, they can scarcely afford the loss
of approximately 30,000 car-days. I
According to Mr. Nicoles, the com-
mission on car service in Its monthly
statement on car situation in the
fnited States, on July 2 St h, shows
that the heavy demand for box cars
continues, especially In the grain
growing section to which empty cars
are being moved from the eastern
and south-eastern districts as an
emergency measure to save the crops.
This movement will compel Califor
nia and the Pacific Coast shippers to
make still more Intense use of their
cars. Car shortage reports for the
country, as of July 15th, show defer
red requisitions for over 100,000
cars.
The Good Railway Service Afsocla
lion of California urges all lis mem
bers and shipper generally to load
heavy, load and unload quickly ns an
assistance to the carriers In the effort
to Increase the average mile per car
per day.
