RATE AT WHICH FISH SWIM.
Sharks Travel Fastest, with Tarpon Sec
ond and Mackerel Third.

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
investigation of the subject goes to show
that the mackerel, if not the champion
racer of the briny deep, comes pretty
near to carrying off the honors I'm
queStionably it travels sometimes as last
as an express train at high speed-say,
at the rate of sixty or possibly seventy
miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster it swims-just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at
speed much greater than the little harbor
tug. Undoubtedly the energy employed
by fish of great size, such as 30-foot
shark when travelling at its best gait,
is something tremendous. An ordinary
tug which represents maximum of
energy i'll minimum of bulk, utilizes
about 200 horsepower. OF course, it is
only guess, but it would not seem to
be over the mark to suppose that 40
foot whale makes use of 500 horsepower
when it propels its huge bulk through
the water at the rate of thirty miles an
hour. A whale-which is a mammal,
and not fsh-night be compared to
freight train if the shark is a cannon
Dali EXPRESS, Dul 1t cdu DcdL lie fastest
ocean greyhound" in speed contest.
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 it may be
said that finny creatures which live near
the surface of the sea are swift swim
ners, as compared with those that dwell
in the depths. Thus the cod, which is a
deep-water species, is sluggish and would
stand no show at all in a race with the
mackerel or herring. These latter,
which are distinctly pelagic, depend for
their living upon their activity in pursu-
ing the agile prey and they must be
quick in their movements in order to es-
cape their own enemies.
If the mackerel was 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 a yacht builder i'll New York
constructed a sloop with a hull patterned
exactly after the under body of a Span
ish mackerel. She was called the I'm
dine, 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 fshlike in their up.-Saturday

FIFTY YEARS OF FARM PROGRESS.
miscellaneous Vegetables" That Were
Unknown Here Half a Century Ago.

The farm gardens, market gardens
and truck gardens" of today are the
producers of a multitude of 'miscellane-
Gus vegetables almost unknown fifty
years ago. In the census of 1890 the
large increase in garden products was
recognized and a systematic count of
their bulk and value was made. 1t is
possible, therefore, to make a ten-year
comparison of the increase of such prod
ucts, and this records the remarkable in
creases of from 1870 per cent. to 400 per
cent. in the five several divisions of the
country The North Atlantic states had
a we'll developed industry in garden
products before 1890, which accounts
for the relatively low increase. How
ever, 100 per cent. in ten years, while
the population increased only a trihe
over 20 per cent, is amazing.
Could our great-granddaddies who
thought tomatoes poisonous and our
great grandmothers, who grew them as
ornamental plants in window pots, under
the attractive name OF love apples,
come back and realize that over 3O,000-
600 bushels of the pretty poisonous vege-
tables are eaten as a common and health
full food, they would surely realize that
time works wonderful changes. Anoth
er interesting statement is that the let
tuce crop of the south has so increased
that in the spring Of this year North
Carolina sent twenty carloads OF that
vegetable north in a single day.
Thirty-fve years ago celery was q rar-
ity, even on hotel tables, and was used
by few families, even of wealth. Today
it is a common edible. occupying thou
sands of acres in Michigan, Ohio and
New York One firm has celery farms
in Michigan, Florida and California, and
because of the variety of seasons it is
engaged in slipping celery by the car
load the whole year round. Twenty-Five
million punches of radishes and 12000,-
600 punches of asparagus are the figures
for the crops of these vegetables.-Har
ner's Weekly.
