FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The Tnrpon, shark and Mnclerel Are
the Speed Champions.

the Speed Champions.
Study of the speed of fishes is en-
barrassed by unfavorable difficulties.
1t is not possible, as with birds, to set
up tall poles at intervals Of quarter
of mile and, with the help of stop
watches, time them as they go by.
Nevertheless investigation of the sub
ject goes to show that the mackerel, II
not the champion racer of the brlny
deep. comes pretty near to carrying off
the honors. unquestionably 1t travels
sometimes rs fast as an express train
ut high speed-say, at the rate of sixty
or possibly seventy miles an hour.
Other things being equal, the larger
the fish the faster 1t swims, just us the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har-
Dor tug. Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by fish OF great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when travelling ut
its best gait, is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum of energy in minimum of
bulk, utiliZes about 200 horsepower.
OF course it is only n guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that seventy foot whale
makes use Of 500 horsepower when 1t
propels its huge bulk through the wa
ter at rate of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which is mammal. and not
n fish, might be compared to freight
train if the shark is cannon ball ex-
press, but it can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in n speed contest.
If there is fish that can travel fast
err 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 flnny creatures which live
near the surface of the sen are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
| that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which is deep water species, Is
sluggish and would stand no show
Mt all in race with the mackerel or
| herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctively pelagic, depend for their lly-
| ing 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 were as big Us 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 sloop with hull
patterned exactly after the underbody
OF 4 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 for
ward of amidships-a decidedly novel
idea in boat building. One may say,
indeed, that all modern water craft
are more or less fishlike in their make
up; yet, on the whole, 1t is surprising
that marine architects have not striven
more earnestly than they have done
to obtain hints from natures own H.
lustrations of aquatic speed making

lowing essay on cat: "rhe cat is a
square quadruped. and, as is custom
airy with square quadrupeds. has its
legs at the four corners. If you want
to please this animal you must stroke
1t on the back. If it is very much
pleased 1t sets up Its tail quite stiff,
like ruler, so that your hand cannot
get any farHler. The cat is said to
have nine lives, but in this country it
seldom needs them all because of
