Fish and Tea,

The London Times sharply ccn:rovefs
the assertion made by DR.. Edward Smith to
the British Association, that fish is rather q
relish than food. and contains little more
nutriment than water. AS opposed to this
statement. the Investigations OF NJ. Payen
are cited. who proves that the flesh o. ash
on an average does not contain more water
than fresh beef. and has as much solid sub
stance as TIE latter. For instance. the flesh
of saimsn contains $40 per cent o. water
and A.29Gspev cent solid substance. while
beet !nusclei contains 1913 per cent water
and :.i2 per cent solid substance. The
flesh OF herring contains still less water
than that of salmon. and even fat fish are
as Gich IN nltrogenous substance asTne best

statement made by DR.. Smith. that the
amount of nutriment contained in an ounce
