Detroit club, got suspicious.
How many OF those badges did yois
say you had out, Commy?" he asked.
'Oh. three OF four hundred" replied
ComIskey.

that" protested Schumm.

FISHES THAT ARE RACERS.
The Tarpon, Shark and Mackere1 Are
the Speed Champions.

The Tarpon, Shark and Mackerel Are
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 a mile and, with the help Of stop
watches, time them as they 60 by.
Nevertheless investigation Of the sub
ject goes to show that the mackerel, II
not the champion racer Of the briny
deep, comes pretty near to carrying off
the honors. unquestionably it travels
sometimes as 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 it swims, just as the
huge steamship is able to travel at a
speed much greater than the little har.
Dor tug Undoubtedly the energy en-
ployed by a fish of great size, such as
a thirty foot shark when travelling at
its best gait, is something tremendous.
An ordinary tug, which represents a
maximum Of energy in a minimum of
bulk, Utilities about 200 horsepower.
OF course it is only a guess, but it
would not seem to be over the mark
to suppose that a seventy foot whale
makes use of 500 horsepower when it
propels its huge bulk through the wa.
ter at rate Of thirty miles an hour.
A whale, which is O mammal and not
q fish, might be compared to freight
train IL the shark ia a cannon bail ex-
press, but 1t can beat the fastest ocean
greyhound in a speed contest.
If there is fish that can travel fast
er 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 6nny creatures which live
near the surface of the sea are swift
swimmers, as compared with those
that dwell in the depths. Thus the
cod, which 10 deep water species, is
sluggish and would stand no show
at all In q race with the mackerel or
herring. These latter, which are dis
tinctirely pelagic, depend for their liv-
ing upon their activity in pursuing

their movements in order to escape
