RATE AT WHICH FISH SWIM.
Sharks Travel Fastest, With Tarpon
Second and Mackerel Third.

From the Saturday Evening Post.
Study Of the speed of fishes 10 embar-
rassed by unavoidable difficulties 1t is not
possible. as with birds. to set UP tall poles
at intervals of a quarter of a mile and
with the help OF stop watches, time them
as they go by. Nevertheless, recent in
vestlgation of the subject goes to show
that the mackerel. IL not the champion
racer of the briny deep. comes pretty near
to carrying Off the honors. UnQuestionably
1t travels sometimes fast 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 1t swims-tust as the huge
steamship is able to travel at a speed much
greater than the little harbor tug Un-
doubtedly the energy employed by fish OF
great size. such as a thirty-foot shark, when
travelling at its best gait, is something tre-
mendous. An ordinary tug, which repre-
sents a maximum of energy in a minimum
OF bulk, utilizes about 200 horse power. OF
course, 1t Is only a guess, but II would not
seem to be over the mark to suppose that
a seventy-foot whale makes use of 500 horse
power when 1t propels its huge bulk through
the water at a rate Of thirty miles an hour.
a whale-which Is q mammal and not a
nsh-might be compared to a freight train
II the shark is a cannon ball express, but
It can beat the fastest ocean greyhound
in a speed contest.
If there is fish that can travel faster
than a shark 1t must be the tarpon. which
can probably hit her up" to the tune OF
eighty miles hour. II pressed for time
Generally speaking 1t may be said that
fnny creatures which live near the surface
of the sea are swift swimmers. compared
with those that dwell In the depths Thus

race with the mackerel or herring These
latter. which are distinctly pelagio. depend
for their living upon their activity In pur-
suing 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 1t would probably be the speed
champion of the ocean. No fish is better
shaped for rapid going. Some years ago a
yacht builder in New York constructed a
sloop with hull patterned exactly after
the under body of Spanish mackerel. She
was called the Undine. and. II 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
bodybuilding. One may say. indeed, that
all modern wafer craft are more or less
ishlike in their makeup.

FALSE SWEARING
WITH IMPukiTY.


 The aftermath of ths late Greene Consolidated Gold episode brings to llisrt some significant considerations relative 10 perjury as viewed from a Illegal standpoint. < will be remem. bered that President Greene announc cd his intention of takisg the neces- sary steps for the prosecution of Jas. O. Glover for perjury. alleging that Glover had laid himself open to this | charge F.. reason of an affidavit made in connection with his report on | the Greene gold prODeyty. The legal i view of the situation, as expressed by a prominent firm of New York aJtor- 1 neys. seems to indicate that MT. Glov. CT is net guilty of perjury, and that it would be impossible to proceed against him on that score. Colonel i Greene's counsel advised nim in these terms.
 "A man cannot be punished for Perjury in every case Nhere he swears falsely. False swearing i'll 'yolun- tary' oaths. as they are called. that is. oaths not authorized nor required by law, does not constitute a crime under our statutes. A false affidavit Of the kind in question here can be made with perfect safety, so far as any criminal prosecution is concerned. In addition to what I have already stated, I desire to call your attention to the fact that a great many state nents embodied in MT Glover's af- ficavit are made upon information and belief. Of course, it will be ut terly impossible to prove that he did not receive the information that he claims to have received, or to prove that he did not believe it."
 From this opinion it appears that, under our statutes, s possible to make false and misleading state meEts before a notary without render ing ones self liable to prosecution for perjury. It will ne seen that this places a weapon of no small propor- tions in the hands of unscrupulous men. but at the same time. the in- cident gives a warning to the public by which it should be fCrearmed against placing too implicit confi- dence in reports to which affidavit is thus made. The point which the mining public should consider well is. that while such an affidavit amounts t0 no more than a personally signed statement it. nevertheless. carries more weight and is more i'm. Pressive than an unsworn statement. Mining Reporter.
