Washington.--With the more frequent appearance of new sea foods In our markets, the truth of the old saying, "There are as good fish In the sea as hare ever been caught," Is acquiring a new application. This Is «specially true of a large family of fishes representatives of which occur on all shores of the sea and In all climes--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, comparing favorably In dietary qualities jvlth many of the highly priced sea foods. Many people, Indeed, have recognized their value and have utilized th4m extensively for food. In the countries bordering on the Mediterranean and in Great Britain. Norway and Sweden they are well known as Valuable and nutritious foods. At Folkestone, England, the flesh of one of the small sharks, salted and dried. Is marketed as "Folkestone beef." Until recently their use as a food in the United States has been limited principally to seafaring people In scattered localities and to the 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 flsh-dlstrlbutlng centers and have appeared on the menus of some of the leading hotels in several cities. Of Wide Distribution. already intimated, sharks are of distribution, occurring In alto seas from the equator to polar waters, but in greatest abundance In the tropics. Those, however, taken In the cooler waters of the temperate zones are among the most desirable species for food, and It Is from these that the principal supply for the markets of this country is obtained. Like the cod, squeteague, blueflsh and other well-known fishes, sharks feed mainly on fishes, crabs, mollusks and other small forms living in the tea, their method of foraging and capture In many cases being unusual and Interesting.- The thrasher shark uses its whip-like tail, which is as long as its body, to splash the water as It swims round and round a school of Ash In ever narrowing circles, crowding the fish closer and closer together until the moment of attack. The grayfish, sand sharks and some other species work In schools and do not hesitate to attack the fish taken in the fishermen's nets, the larger forms tearing the nets and liberating the catch. The economic uses to which these forms may be put are somewhat varied. At one time large quantities of the hides, cleaned but not tanned, were used for polishing wood. Ivory, metal and the like. With Improvements in methods of preparation of sandpaper and emery, these tavs largely replaced animal hides. Make Excellent Leather. Withirt the last year the Bureau of Fisheries has Interested American tanners to experiment In the production of leathers from these hides with excellent results, and there now exists a demand for large quantities of raw materials. In tensile strength leathers tested compare favorably with those made from mammal hides, and the market for these products appears assured. In addition, the livers are rich In a marketable oil, which Is of value In dressing leather, soapmaklng, paints and for medicinal purposes. The yield varies from less than a pint in some of the smaller sharks to about 125 gallons in some of the larger sizes. The meat of sh'arks Is white, slightly gelatinous, resembling halibut, but somewhat less firm, and compares favorably In food value with other staple food fishes and meats. Russel J. Coles, who has eaten the' flesh of many of our sharks, states that the flesh In fleshly killed examples of some species has a peculiar odor which can readily be rempved by salting. After several hours the meat should be freshened, then parboiled and cooked as any other fish. The flesh of the young sharks and such small forms as the grayfish is particularly good fresh, but It Is as a preserved product that the meat of sharks especially com mends Itself. Salted and smoked OE. kippered It Is excellent. It may also be salted and dried, flaked or shredded. In some parts of the meat the layers of connective tissue are quite doss together. These parts may conveniently be run through a meat chopper and the meat used for fish balls, chowders and the like. Persons In position to smoke the flsh as needed will find the mild-cured, hot-smoked product particularly appetizing. DELAYS THE PEACE PLANS Red Cross Official Claps Envoys , Into Quarantine. Diplomats Entering ^sthonla Stripped and 6crubbed and Their Clothes Disinfected. Reval, Bsthonla.--When the soviet commission to negotiate peace with Esthonia recently crossed the lines into the city of Narva on its way to Reval, Its members were promptly clapped Into quarantine by the American Red Cross typhus fighters, and, In spite of desperate protestations and citations of diplomatic privilege, were forcibly detained fdr thorough disinfection before being permitted to proceed. The Red Cross quarantine regulations at Narva prescribed that no person could leave the town without disinfection and a clean bill of health. No exceptions have been allowed to this rule since the Red Cross undertook the typhus flght here. The soviet emissaries were stopped at the railway station and asked for their Red Cross permits to travel. In, answer they showed Esthonlan diplomatic safe-conducts and demanded that they be passed Immediately. A Red Cross officer was called. He waved away the safe-conducts without ceremony and ordered the diplomats to report at once for disinfection or prepare to remain in Narva until the lifting of the quarantine. Hot words on the part of the Russians followed, but the Red Cross official was adamant. Finally, breathing threats and protests, the emissaries marched with their luggage from the station to the disinfecting post. Lusty hands, little heedful of the diplomatic sacredness of their persons, stripped them of their clothes, scrubbed them ruthlessly, and rolled them in blankets to await the disinfection of their garments and luggage. Not until every scrap of their belongings, even to diplomatic documents, was thoroughly deloused, were the peace envoys allowed to depart, every whisker standing on end with suppressed rage.

Holland was an ardent Fenian and associate of many Irish patriots who have gone down into history. Leaders of the Revolutionary party in Ireland became Interested In Holland's idea and commissioned him to build a trial submarine. He built it well enough, but on its trial spin on Long Island Sound it was struck by a coal barge and quickly sunk. The discouraged Irish leaders gave up the idea. Later Holland built his first successful submarine, "The Holland," which was accepted by the United States government lq 1897.

NEW HERD OF BUFFALO Bison on Increase Instead of Becoming Extinct Nationsl Park Authorities y There Are More Than 100 - Wild Buffalo In Park. Yellowstone Park, Wyo.--Convincing evidence that the wild buffalo of Yellowstone national park, the last surviving remnant of the great herds which once roamed the western plains, are on the increase, Instead of dying out, as was feared, has been obtained In the discovery of a new group In the southeast portion of the park. About fifteen animals were observed, evidently a part of the old herd, which It Is thought grew so large that some of its members were forced to break away and seek new pasturage. Definite Information has been obtained by park authorities that there are now more than one hundred of the wild buffalo in the park. Formerly there were only about half that number. When discovered, the new herd was within five miles of one of the largest hotels In the park and a snapshot was obtained of one of the animals, a fine bull, probably the first photograph ever taken of a wl' 1 buffalo. Ordinarily the wild buffalo never are seen by tourists and only rarely by park authorities or even by the rangers who patrol the most remote sections. The appearance of the new herd close to the main lines of travel was before the season opened, and the animals apparently had been lured down from the mountain fastnesses by the abundance of spring grass on the lower levels. They disappeared Into untraveled country as soon as automobiles became frequent along the highways. Forty-eight 9aIves have been added this year to the tame buffalo herd of the park, which now has population of 500. Part of the tatae herd has been placed In corral at Mammoth Hot Springs for the benefit of visitors. PROSPERITY WAVE IN JAMAICA Planters Become Wealthy as 8ugar Brings $600 a Ton and Bananas Are High. Kingston, Jamaica. --There ha« never been so much money In Jamaica as now. The sugar and banana planters are fast becoming wealthy, and If the present wave of prosperity continues for a few more years the Island will have at least a dozen millionaires. Before the war sugar brought only $30 per ton; today it is bringing $000 per ton in the English market. The Island's Inhabitants are experiencing great difficulty In getting adequate supplies, and it is only through the action of the food controller that 8 per cent of the output Is kept for home consumption. The prosperity of sugar planters has led to large sums being invested in the purchase of the most up-to-date machinery for the manufacture of sugar. $ Street Boss Quits Job to {j Be Better Paid Laborer Because laborers he employed In street work are making more than the $100 a month paid him for directing the work, John Ackley has presented has resignation as street commissioner to the town council of Hackettstown, N.'

BIG ADVANCE IN SCIENCE Frsii 8proce and Linen Ship That Did Its Bit In War and Has Bssn Used in Commerce Will Be Displaosd by All Metal Type. New York.--The presence In America of John M. Larsen's JL-6 all metal monoplane will completely revolutionize aircraft design and construction, according to statements made here by leading airplane manufacturers. The frail spruce and linen ship that did Its bit in the war and that has been used successfully, though precariously, in commerce will soon be displaced by the sturdy all metal type brought tfut after the war by the Germans, almost every aeronautical expert who has witnessed the performance of the JL-6 agrees. One American manufacturing company has already announced Its intention of discontinuing operations. * t The War Plane Passes. There is little comparison between the JL-6 and the old type plane. The only type of airplane that was successful prior to the JL-6's appearance was the wood and linen biplane. The wing beams, the long fuselage, the engine bearers, the struts, the under-carriage were made of either spruce or ash and the wings were covered with Irish linen. The fuselage between the wings gave support to the panels. It was a strong ship; only a cyclone or a crash could warp the wings around the fuselage. But it appears as fragile and delicate as a china vase beside the JL-6. There Is an all metal fuselage. One metal wing spreads from each side of the body, a wing that measures eight or ten inches in thickness at the leading edge, and has a trailing edge as thick as the blade of your knife. There are no lnterwing struts to offer wind resistance, no control horns on the ailerons, no flying or landing wires, no control wires free to the wind. It has been said that the flying, landing and control wires of the old type ship cut down its speed by as much as twenty-five miles an hour. Winga 8urvlve 8lde Slip. The wings of the JL-6 are so rigid that only a head on crash will injur* them. One plane that side slipped to the earth was Immediately righted and flown away after a new propeller had been put on. Not even the fuselage to which the metal panels are attached was Injured. Eighty-five men have stood upon the forty-seven foot spresd without causing any 111 effects. The body of the plane contains s luxuriously furnished compartment that will seat in upholstered chairs six people. Two pilots may be seated In the control compartment. The motive power is furnished by a 160 horsepower Mercedes engine. It requires five gallons of gasoline to fly 100 miles. Present aeronautical motors require from ten to fifteen gallons for that distance. The motor is almost silent, compared to the deafening roar of the Liberty. A conversation can be carried on In the cabin with the motor wide open. According to Mr. Larsen, the JL-6 represents the greatest step forward In flying in all time. He has purchased all American rights, from the Junker company of Germany, which first perfected the all metal plane. It was from an all metal battle plane that the boche shot down MaJ. Raoul Lufb6rry in the most heroic air battle of the war. Dr. Hugo Junker, German engineer, Is the original designer of the all metal ship. the water. The climax of this achievement ot industrial chemistry has been reached by American makers In the manufacture of lenses for telescopes. At first disks which strengthened our view were made three or four Inches In diameter. Recently a special four and three-quarter Inch lens was ground for Lowell observatory at Flagstaff, Aria. • The first nine and one-half Inch disk Iras turned out last December. Six Others have since been made and delivered. As their diameters increase disks are made with greater difficulty. Finally, on February 15, 1920, the first perfect 12-lnch disk was furnished, and a large optical glass corporation now lists this size for short-time dsii^ ery. . * Making Larger Disks* The next size attempted was a 20- lnch disk, in the manufacture of which the problem was still more complex. Several flawless ones were produced, but they \ cracked in the annealing process. American ingenuity was brought into play to devise a means of slowly cooling these immense plates of glass, so that they might be free from the strain so likely to destroy them. Experiments by scientists of the geophysical laboratory showed exactly how slowly their temperatures must be lowered, and the cooling schedule outlined was closely followed. Owing, however, to the extreme cold weather of last March and the shortage of gas, this schedule could not be followed. One splendid disk strained end broke Just when nearly ready to be taken from the oven. Equipment hitherto used was then scrapped and an electric furnace wss specially designed to meet the needs of the problem by experts of an electric company. This device is thoroughly Insulated and provided with an automatic apiMance which will hold the temperature absolutely constant to a fraction of a degree while the glass Is being treated to remove strain. The temperature can be dropped a few degrees a week. With the aid of this furnace now in process of construction it is believed that the last difficulty In the way of the American manufacture of the largest disks will be overcome. Orders have already been accepted for the production of several large guaranteed disks, Including one pair of the 18-inch size for refracting telescopes, and a 36-inch disk for a reflecting telescope. The furnace will receive the 40-inch size. When that goal has been reached, the company will continue the development, so that eventually the largest and finest disks In the world wilt he American nmU With the U. S.
