FLESH HAS DELICATE FLAVOR

Scientist Gives Some Interesting Information About Fish Which Seems to Have Been Grossly Libeled— Particular About Food. New York.—From time imineinurlal the shark has been considered ns an enemy to man and a scavenger of the sen. He lias been pictured as the cannibal of the deep, anil In fiction has been painted ns the monster who lurks about the Ill-fated ship in order to devour the unfortunates who may have met their death In a gale or on the reef. We. therefore, for genera-' thins have cherished an antipathy for this erenrnre of the sen and have been very willing to accept ns fact oil of these slories. never stopping to consider that perhaps after all the shark might have a few points in his favor. To begin with, the shark does not live exclusively on the flesh of man. says Dr. Allen Rogers of I’m It Institute ’Brooklyn, In the current number of the Journal of Industrial and En glneerlng Chemistry of the American Chemical society. In fact, there are only n few species who would onl human flesh, even If It were possible for them to si.eure it. The principal spi*cies considered a man eater, the tiger shark, prohahly has seldom had the pleasure of this ilellency. Sharks like all other llsh. live on the smaller flsli. thus upholding the proverb that Hie big fish eat the little ones. Sharks Devour Food Fish. Sharks navel In schools or stngh and are found must nbundnnt where food fish are plentiful. They are e» peclnlly fond of the mullet, menhaden mackerel anil sea trout. Thus It will he seen that they are migratory nml nt various seasons are found In different waters. Tboy are naturally warmwater fish, which accounts for the large number to be found In the Gulf of Mexico, along the poast of Florida ami the West Indies. Being I'liphl and powerful swimmers, they often follow ships for humlrods of miles, picking up food as it is thrown over the s'de of the vessel. Thus tlieir diet nt such tiim s is not unlike that of our domes tie hog Htid poultry It Is claimed by fisher folk that the shark will not eat unsound food, wllb'li shows him even more parth'tdar than our friend it"' porker. Why, th n. if he Is so cb-wi In lijs hublls of lifa. should we ills criminate against him? The bureau of lisl. i .os for several years bus endeavored to interest the people in this country in using shark meat ns an edible product, wllh a cor tain amount of stici'c- In fact. Ihnt species of shark known as the dog fts’i Is being oiiiino*l In lar. ■ quantities amt sold under the name of gray fish. Cer tain fisheries on the \"w Kiighuut coast are remox'llig tl"' head, tail nml lias at"! selling 11"' I'l'iidnel in Boston nml New York as d * p sea sword tish.

Italians Eat ’Em.

In Boston, also shark inent Is being sold ns sm h to the Itfilian trade, who appreciate Its food value nml enjoy its delicate flavor. Why, then, shoiilil we not take a lesson from tl"- Italians and acquire the sfinrk-eating Imlilt? For the last live or six years the writer has been Interested In devel.qitng a method for converting shark skins Into a merchantable leather. As a result of this work several processes have been devlse*l which have Ims-> assigned to a eompanj operating li-b-

erli's In the smith.

A conservative estimate Indicates that for a entcli of 2,0(X> sharks dully, at nn nverago weight of '-'d-i pom’d*. there would tie btb.uou pounds of fish. As at least htl per cent could lie used for human consumption, we wont I have 21)0.1 NR) pounds dully, or "H.tkXk000 pounds ninnmlly. Assuming ilia: the market price c mid he set at 10 cents, we have a saving of $7,!tU0.0mt.
