SOME POISONOUS FISH.
There Hrc Many Varieties ot Then
Pound In ~ropicsi waters

There src Many Varieties ot Them
Found In ~ropicsi waters
Poisonous fish are found In largo
numbers and in many places. but more
especially in the tropics. says the Med
ical Record. They are quite common
in the Brazilian and West Indian wa
ters and also in the East Indian and
Australian waters. 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 IL can be distinguished
from the common mackerel. which also
abounds in the same waters. by GER
tain peculiarities OF marks Thus the
iurel has not the black spot on
the gill covers: 1t has two scales on the
neck. while the harmless kind has a
black spot and no scales on the neck.
The poisonous kind grow large and
often weigh as much as twent. pounds.
Mackerel weighing over two pounds
are not allowed TO be sold In the Ha-
vana market. The chlcora is another
kind OF poisonous mackerel II Is
found in the West Indies. but the ma
lives OF those islands do not regard II
as dangerous. The meat OF the Chi
cora is not fit or safe to eat at certain
times of the year The people or the
Guadaloupe sometimes use pieces OF the
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 1t is very pleas
ant and palatable bit OF food but every
once in awhile white people are taken
Ill after eating the bonito 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 re-
cent years there have been several
cases i'm which people have died after
eating this fish The meletta which is
found in the East Indian and Austral-
ian waters is always poisonous and is
the most dangerous, because It is not
easily distinguished from another kind
Of herring, which is comparatively
harmless. The poisonous fish has a
black spot on the dorsal fin. while
the other has not a mark The poi
sonous meletta resembles herring,
being five or six inches long, with sill
very scales and bluish-green back.
Some fish are poisonous at certain
times of the year and at other times
wholesome. And. finally as a note OF
warning, we say that visitors TO the
tropical countries should take no risk
of eating fish which are not known to
be safe as well as nalatnhle

and performs the most daring surgi-
sa operations with them. His origin

appearance he is a naked hirsute saw

works in perfect unison with his eye

You may clothe and care for him for

of privation, he will return again to
