Food n Dainty Edible.
Professor Irving Angel Field OF Har-

value and their destruction OF the food
fishes. says the New York Tribune.
Experimenting with doghsh. the
scourge OF fishermen and lobster catch
ers along the coast. he has found that
the dogfsh. when properly clenned and
cooked. Is a very dainty edible. with a
fine flavor. The dogiish feeds on lob
sters and crabs. frequenting clean
sandy beaches. and is therefore one Of
the cleanest of sea fish.
To n class at the summer institute
not long ago Professor Field served a
dinner Of dogfish. without telling what
It was until all had eaten. Every one
agreed that It was delicious. The fish
was fssed or brolled. Professor Field
is now studying various ways OF util-
izing the fish commercially aside from
food.
