Inc SHARK - dow SWifnWeTs
One Ill service nature has done the
shark-namely, that Of placing TRAN
gular fin on his back which acts as
danger signal and gives warning of his
approach Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagaclty to
be aware of this popularity, for had
be been so be would unquestionably
abandon his habit of swimming close
to the surface of the water and would
In that case be enabled to approach
his victim unobserved. The shark Is
slow swimmer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dolphin
from the shark" But Byron was
poet and does not appear to have been
q close observer Of the habits Of in
habitants of the water or he would
have known that shark would have
no more chance Of catching dolphin
than sheep would of overhauling a
hare.

VALUE OF TUBERCULIN.
Use in Diagnosis of Phthisis Dis
cussed at Meeting.

Discussion of the relative values OF
tuberculin as an aid in the diagnosis of
phthisis in human beings and in animals
was the principal subject of discussion
before a meeting Monday of the board
of directors of the Association for the
Prevention of tuberculosis. The meet
ing was held in the headquarters of the
society, 923 il street northwest. The
president, Gen. Sternberg. was in the
chair and about twenty-five members of
the board were present.
DIR. II. II. Hazen introduced the topic
of the evening, and made the point that
the value of tuberculin is very limited
with regard to human beings, while its
value is practically unlimited as an aid
to determining the existence of tubercu-
losis in animals.
LAS yet we know little about tubercu-
lin" Dr. Hazen said, land 1 consider 1t
advisable that 1T be used only as a last
resort in any case Of suspected tubercu-
losis in man.

APPLICATION IS DENIED.
Adverse Report on Plea for Permit
to Inclose Fruit Stand.

Demetrios Apostolokas wants to inclose
his fruit stand at Pennsylvania avenue
and 18th street in wood and glass. He
says that leaving the banana and the
grape the orange and the apple exposed
TO those whose temptations may get the
better of them often results in a deple-
ton of the stock without a corresponding
increase in the cash drawer. But despite
his letter to Commissioner Johnston, in
which he tells his troubles and recites
his desires. the police department has
made an investigation and has decided
that to incIose the stock of produce would
be violation of the law.
Mai. Sylvester took up the report. Capt.
Hollinberger of the first precinct then
went out and examined the place of
business He wrote a history of the fruit
stand. and exposed the fact that by pro-
fession Demetrios was a barber.
Whereupon the papers. essays and all
went back to the District building and
Inspector Gessford essayed upon the sub
ject OF fruit stands. Inspector Gessford
SAYS that Demetrios would be enroaching
upon public domain should he put up a
glass screen.
Now the Commissioners are examining
the matter.
