FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The Mackerel King of Them All, With
Speed of Sixty Miles an Hour.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Study Of the speed Of fishes is embar-
raised by unavoidable difficulties. 1t Is not
possible, as with birds, to set up tall poles
at intervals of a quarter of mile, and,
with the help of stop watches, time them
as they go by. Nevertheless recent inves-
tigation of the subject goes to show that
the mackerel If not the champion racer OF
the briny deep, comes pretty near to car
rying off the honors. PROFESSIONALLY 1t
travels sometimes as fast as an express
train at high speed-say, at the rate Of
sixty, OF possibly seventy, miles an hour.
Other things being equal. the larger the
fish, the faster 1t swims-just as the huge
steamship is able to travel at speed much
greater than the little harbor tug. I'm
doubtedy the energy employed by fish OF
great size, such as thirty-foot shark,
when travelling at Its best gait, is some-
thing tremendous An ordinary tug, WHOM
represents a maximum OF energy in a mini
mum bulk utilities about two hundred
horse power. OF course, 1t Is only guess.
but it would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that seventy-foot whale makes
use of 800 horse power when 1t propels Its
huge bulk through the water at a rate OF
thirty miles an hour. Whale-Which is
a mammal, and not fish-might be COM
paared to a freight train If the shark is
fastest ocean greyhound in a speed con-
test
If there is a fish that can travel faster
than shark, it must be the tarpon, which
can probably hit her up to the tune OF
eighty miles an hour If pressed for time.
Generally speaking 1t may be said that
fnny creatures which live near the surface
Of the sea swift swimmers as COM
pared with those that dwell in the depths.
Thus the cod, which is a deep-water spe-
cies is sluggish, and would stand no show
at all in a race with the mackerel or her
ring. These latter, which are distinctvey
pelagc, depend for their living upon their
activity in pursuing agile prey. and they
must be quick in their movements in order
to escape their own enemies.
If the mackerel We're as big as a good
sized shark, it would probably be the speed
champion of the ocean. No fish Is better
shaped for rapid going. Some years ago
yacht builder in New York constructed q
sloop with hull patterned exactly after
the under body of a Spanish mackerel. She
was called the Undine, and, If tradition
does not lie, she never was beaten. Like
the fish after which she was modelled; she
had her greatest breadth of beam forward
of amidships-a decidedly novel idea in
boat building. One may say, indeed, that
all modern water craft are more or less
whole 1t is surprising that marine archi-
tects have not striven more earnestly than
they have done to obtain hints from ma
lures own illustrations of aquatic speed
making principles.

Mrs. Roosevelt was ait the wharf with

Mr.. Wells Of Ricxert & Wells, our
local druggists, says: There is nothing
like Vinol for growing children. 1t
makes new vitality, sound flesh and
muscle tissue, and rich, pure, red blood,
and many letters have been received
from grateful fathers and mothers
whose children owe their health, and
even life, to Ninol
sThe reason Vinol is so far superior
to all other tones and cod liver oil
preparations for children is because it
contains, in concentrated form, all Of
the strengthening, body building ele-
ments Of cod liver oil, actually taken
from fresh Gods livers, but without
a drop of oil or grease, and it does not
upset their weak, delicate stomachs like
old-fashioned cod liver oil and emuI-
sions, but is easily assimilated, and is
so delicious that children all love it,"
Continued Mr.. Wells: I'VE cannot
recommend Vinol too highly for puny,
weak and ailing children, to build up
the rundown, oyerworked, tired and de-
bilitated, or to give renewed vitality to
the aged. So sure are we of what it
viii do that we cheerfully refund the
money in every case where it fails"

BANK ROBBED OF

Ridgeley said yesterday that as far

tionaI bank of Allegheny appears from
The examination now being made, it
was safe to say that the shortage would
not be less than si,5o0,00o. The funds
OF the bank were distracted by the dead
cashier, L. Lee Clark, but owing to his
fraudulent bookkeeping it has not yet
been ascertained what disposition he
made Of the bulk OF the Incorporated
funds.
Much of the collateral securing bills
receivable had also been fraudulently
distracted by Clark, and the bulk Of
it has not yet been found. Fraudulently
issued certificates of deposit are being
discovered, and until all the pass books
held by depositors are returned it will
be impossible to state approximately the
full amount of the loss.
The receiver has the assistance OF a
number of the most competent experts
connected with the comptrollers office,
and no effort will be spared to ascertain
where the funds of the bank have been
placed, and to recover as speedily as
possible, any that can be traced.
