Varieties I'm Cuban and West Indian
Waters OF Evil Reputation.

There Is belief among the fishermen
Of Cuba that some Of the fish there are
poisonous. II asked the cause. one reply
is that there is SO much copper in the
water that IL poisons the fish. This is a
fisherman's reason, yet the fact holds
that in all waters there are fish that are
poisonous. In Cuban waters the jack
Caranx-is a common table Dish. On the
Florida reef all kinds are eaten. and ons
rarely hears Of poisonous fish, yet in
Havana there is law which prevents the
sale of jacks Of over two pounds, for the
reason that a poisonous CAranx exists
which attains q weight OF twenty Ave
pounds. This. when the law Ia emf reed,
cuts out o: the Cuban dietary q number
of fishes.
The poisonous jack is known to silence
as Caranx fallax, Its common name in
Cuba being juvsl. 1t is difficult for the
layman to distinguish between the poi
sonous and the non-poisonous jacks.
Another jack, Caranx plumiera, COM
monty seen in the Havana market under
the local name Of chicaro, Ia readily eat
en-, but according to Dr. Hornemann, the
natives of the West India islands are
afraid to eat 1t at certain seasons. AT
G Guadalupe, as an example. 1t is eaten at
times without Ill effect. while at others
the flesh assumes coppery hue, the
Tones turn red and 1t is exceedingly pol

states that 1t Is used to poison rats.

The INJURIES in Florida, sDake-like cells
Of ferocious appearances ana nature. are
often said to be poisonous but the writer
experimental with them ana found them
ra atable, IL so one could forget the snake
like mouth, white leopard like markings
and the certainly disagreeable features of
the fish. This is fish tina, was SO es
teemed by the old Romans; yet 1t was
impossible to induce fisherman on the
outer reef to eat injury, ard some
affirmed that those around the bahamas
were deadly poison.
Certain localities have become notori-
Gus for their poisonous fish, as the Cape
of Good Hope, where the crews Of vessels
re invariably warned net to eat the hsh;
and in cases observed bere the SYMPTOMS
were remarkably like those of cholera
The richly coIored fishes have an EVIL
reputation every whers, but this certainly
does not apply to the Florida species
