POISONOUS FISH OF THE TROPICS
Several Species Found in the West
Indies Are Dangerous TO Life.

From the Chicago Daily News.
Poisonous fish are found in large num-
bers and in many places, but more espec-
tally in the tropics, says the Medical Rec
ord. They are quite common in the Bra
lillian and West Indian waters and also
in the East Indian and Australian wa
ters. Three kinds Of fish belonging to the
mackerel family are poisonous. one is
called the jurel and is found in the West
Indies in large numbers. 1t can be distin-
guished from the common mackerel,
which also abounds In the same waters by
certain peculiarities of marks. Thus, the
jurel has no black spot on the gill covers;
1t has scales on the neck, while the harm
less kind has black spot and no scales
on the neck. Tho poisonous kind grows
large and often weighs as much as TWEEN
ty pounds, but the others seldom run over
two pounds. Mackerel Weighing over
two pounds are not allowed to be sold in
the Havana markets.
Tho chicaro is another kind of poison
Gus mackerel. 1t is also found in the
West Indies, but the natives of those is
lands do not regard 1t as dangerous. The
meat of the chicaro is not fit or safe to eat
at certain times Of the year especially
during the spawning season. Then 1t be-
comes highly poisonous and the people of
the GudQdlOupb HUiHtllIHtS use plttt5 OF
this fish which have been caught to poison
rats. The bonito Is a kind of mackerel
that is most dangerous at certain times OF
the year. Usually It is a very pleasant
and palatable bit of food, but every one
in awhile people are taken with collie af-
ter eating the bonito. So 1t. is best to
leave IL alone. Two kinds Of herring
are known to be poisonous. The meletta,
or tropical herring, Is found all along the
Atlantic coast as far north as New York.
Within recent years there have been sew
eral cases in which people have died after
eating this fish.
The spawning season seems to be the
time when the herring and other tropical
fish should be let severely alone. The part
which IS considered most dangerous is
the roe. The me!etta, which Is found in
East Indian and Australian waters, is all
ways poisonous and is the most danger
Gus because IT is not easily distinguished
from another kind Of herring, which is
comparatively harmless. The poisonous
kind has a black nose and a black spot
on the dorsal fin, while the other has not
sembles a herring being five or six inches
long, with slvery scales and blush
green back. Some fish are poisonous in
certain localities and harmless IN other
places; some are poisonous at certain sea-
sons of the year and at other times whole
some And finally, as "A note of warning
we may say that visitors to the tropical
countries should take no risk of eating
fish which are not known to be safe as
well as palatabe.

New York. Oct. 2.-The lack Of southern

Won't Work There.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches. In order to maintain this overland mountain line a swath of woodland has to be kept clear of trees and bushes directly up the steep noun tain side. There are supposed to be magnetic ores inside the mountain.

"The awards granted at the Worlds Columbian Exposition, compared to the number of exhibitors, present the smallest number ever granted on the occasion of Worlds Fair This re- suit distinctly shows that unusual care and precaution were taken by the eX- pert judges, who, because of the rule requiring them to declare over their own signatures the reasons for their judgment, fully realized the great re-
 sponsibility thrown upon them. The exhibitor, therefore, may be assured that his award will have a value such as the award granted at previous Ex- positions never gave.' This state ment, from the official circular of the Worlds Columbian Commission, as ap- piled to Ayers Sarsaparilla, the only
 medicine of the kind admitted at the Worlds Fair, and which also received the highest possible awards, must con- vince the most sceptical mind that this well-known blood-purifier stands far in advance of all other similar preparations in existence It has cured others. it will Cure you.

'FOPSY-TURVEY.

The tea business is going to be turned upside down, we guess.
 Everybody who went to the world S fair remembers the Japanese tea ex- hibit-how extensive it was, and the amount of pains they took to have people taste their tea. And everybody doubtless wondered whether they did it for glory, or why.
 Not a bit. The Japanese are as fond of glory as anybody else; but they are also fond of shekels and they did all this to give Americans an appetite for their best tea, knowing that we shall use more tea if we like it.
 Now some of the most prominent Japanese growers, unable to check the Yankees who have had the exporting of teas from Japan in their hands, mean to invade the United States, where they have formed connection with a big tea house in San Francisco, elaborate machinery for roasting tea freshly-that Americans may not only have better tea, but that they may have it fresh, as the Japanese do.
 We shall see. If their tea is good why shouldn't we drink a lot of it especially as no tea is grown in Amer ica.

It is the result or the nlicrobe craze. says the Qlobe-De1nocrat, and is nothing less than washing all the money she handles, and charging her employer overtime, too. The discoverer of this rev way to enhance her usefulness and cost is Annie Nesmyth, the money -taker of big downtown hotel. Miss Nesmyth serves at night mostly, and, while less money comes in then than during the day, she is generally kept busy enough. The money is often very dirty and to the last degree repulsive to handle. Now, the cashier is trained nurse resting" from her arduous pro- fessional labors. After a sick spell from handling the soiled currency she concluded to resign. She was persuaded not to by an increase of her salary and permission to wash the money. So every night sees a soup-plate of am monia water at her elbow, into which each note as it arrives is dropped.

Few Children in France.

Of all the peoples of Europe the French have the fewest children an l the Irish the most. The average French family numbers 3.03 persons and the average Irish family 5.2. In England the average is 4.S and in Germany it is Al. The Spanish and Russians closely approach the Irish in prolificness.
