The preliminary Spitzbergen nego-

Nobel Institute, Kristiania. The Nor

Minister Irgens, Prof. Hagerup, Lega-

as expert authority. Russia was rep.
resented by Minister Krupenski, Baron
Nolde, and Legation Secretary Nell

berg, Governor Hammarskjold, and Le-
cation Secretary Westman, as expert
authority. Foreign Minister 1rgens
made an address of welcome in the
name Of the Norwegian government.
He was in hopes that the negotiations
would be crowned with success in the
form Of a draft that can be used as
q basis for an international agreement
preserving the character of Spitz-
bergen az mo mans land" but at
the same time establishing law and
order in that part of the world. The
address Of Irgens was responded to
by Minister Krupenski, who proposed
Prof. Hagerup as chairman of the COM
mittee. Governor Hammarskjold Sec
onded the motion, and expressed his
thanks to the Norwegian government
for the hospitality extended to the
committee. Upon motion by the chair,

ished the preliminaries, and the COM

in these columns before, this commit

Three species of fishes of the sea- bass family
known as JeW-hshes rang among the largest Of
the spiny-fnned fishes They inhabit tropical
American waters, and range as far north as the
California and South Atlantic coasts. The spotted
Jewish (Prom1crops itaiara) is common in the
West Indies, and reaches weight of 600 pounds
The black Jewish (Garrupa nigrita), found from
South Carolina to Brazil, weighs 500 pounds The
California Jewish (Stereolepsis gigas). usually
called sea bass, sometimes attans weight of 600
pounds and is one of the really great game fishes
of the country, being much sought by anglers in
southern California. An experienced angler has
written: my largest fish weighed 27s pounds, and
l was repeatedly almost jerked overheard by the
struggles OF the bass. l have seen 200-pound
fish snap the largest shark line like thread, and
large specimens straigbten out an iron shark
hook; yet the skilled wielders of the rod catch
these giants of the tribe with line that is not
much larger than some eye-glass cords"
Among the rays are several members which
reach colossal proportions. The largest and best
known OF these is the socalled "devilfish" IMAM

tropical waters of America, which occasionally
strays as far as Cape May and is comomn south
of Cape Hatteras. It is shaped like butterfly or
bat, and has been called the ocean vampire"
Projecting from either side of the head is horn
like appendage, which in reality is detached
part OF the pectoral fin wing" These horns,
to which the "devil-fish" owes it's origin are
sometimes three feet long and are freely NOV
able, being used for bringing food to the mouth
The mouth is peculiar in having no teeth in the

people on board.
The expanse of body in this species is greater

One of the most prodigious and perhaps the
most formidable of sharks is the "manreater' (Car
charodon carcharias). 1t roams through all tenn
perate and tropical seas and everywhere is an
object Of dread Its maximum length is 40 feet

The largest of all fishes, the largest of all cold

Imagine a creature one foot high, three or four
inches thick, and more than 20 feet long with thu
consistency of a wet towel and you will have some
idea of ribbon-fsh.
Our knowledge of these fishes is due to no &C
tivty the part of biologists in finding their habi
tat and collecting them therein, but to the cir
cumstance that when they die or lose their eoui
librium they fall upward and float on the surface
whence they are picked up or drift ashore Nearly
all the specimens known have been found dead or
dying, and few, If any, have been secured in deep
sea collecting apparatus This suggests how frag~

be for unknown monsters to exist there in abu,>

The fish is entirely harmless and is so sluggish

That the sun-fsh deserves place in the list

and that much larger ones are occasionally met
with. The largest known specimen, harpooned in
1898 at Redondo Beach, California weighed 1900
pounds. On such monster lying en- one side,

Sunotroko Of Horses

Sunstroke Of Horses. e
During the present heated season
the Minnesota Experiment Station has
received reports Of many deaths Of
horses from su2stroke. Horses thus
affected are frequently those that are
soft and possibly indisposed. Animals
under the age OF five years are likely
to be unaccustomed to hard work in the
heat, and therefore more apt to be over
heated than older and more mature
horses. Such young animals, espe-
cially, should he worked with care
in hot weather, and all possible pre-
cautions should be taken against indi-
gestion, which is frequent cause of
sunstroke. A horse is in condition for
sunstroke when it shows the following
symptoms: Dizziness, painting when
working lightly. unusual sweating in
the barn and frequent changes in the
character of the manure. DR.. Alex
ander, Of the Wisconsin Agricultural
College, says caution in changing food
and rest are representatives., and adj
vises the feeding of hay night and
morning only; water often when at
work; he preferring clean, soft water
to that rendered hard" by the pres
ence of lime salts, which tend to de-
range the stomach. And he says:
Remove the harness at noon, and al
low sufficient time for rest and masti-
cation Of food; groom the skin thor
oughly once daily; feed sound food;
avoid corn in summer, as it is heat
ing; prefer sound old oats; avoid sud
den changes of food, and do not feed
when heated, green grass or clover.
Feed fresh food each meal. Shade
the horses head when at work, but
avoid heavy, wet sponge; if possible,
do not work three horses abreast, as
the middle horse suffers thereby and
is the most liable to sunstroke; where
such combination cannot be avoided,
change horses often to afford as much
relief as possible. Choose the coolest
hours for work, and change teams
often during sultry, moist weather,
when thunder storms are prevalent.
