Uses For Irf.hslS1n.

The serrated spines OF the r.iyfish are
used by the Indians of the Amazon to
arm their arrows. Sharks teeth are
used In arming weapons. while the
teeth Of this and other species are used
as trinkets by many peoples. The Jaws
Of the sleeper shark nrc used for head
dresses by certain of our Indian tribes.
The vertebrae Of the sharks are also
prepared as canes. In Japan the bones
Of sharks and skates are used in maxi
ing imitation tortoise shell. In Europe
and this country shark and ray skins
are employed to smooth and polish sub
stances, while the skin of the tllornback
is employed by cabinet makers In lieu
Of sandpaper, than shich 1t is very
much more durable WoOdworkers also
use the rough skin Of the blue dogiish
like emery paper for smoothing their
work and preparing 1t for POLISHING.
In India the iawbonc of the boalee fish
is employed by the natives about Dac-
ca. The teeth, being small, recurved
and closely set, act as fine comb for
cariing cotton in removing the loose
and coarse fibers and all extraneous
matters from the cotton wool.
