Sharks Used as Feed.

An unreasonable prejudice exists In
this country against the use of shark
like fishes (sharks, dOgfish, rays, etc.)
as food. A recent memoir by Lewis
Radcliffe, published by the United
States bureau of fisheries, points out
the flesh of various small species Of
this class as palatable, when properly
prepared, and that this fact is better
appreciated abroad than in this coun-
try.
In England and Wales, in 1913, there
were landed 64,996 hundredweight Of
dogfsh, valued ut 100000. 1t appears,
however, that q good deal of shark
meat is eaten in the eastern United
States by people who think they are
eating something else. For example.
trap fishermen in the neighborhood OF
Woods Hole, Mass, remove the head,
fins and tail from all the larger spe-
cies of shark Except the sand shark
caught in their traps, after which
treatment the body looks not unlike
swordfsh.
1t is then shipped to Boston and
New York, ~here it is sold as deep
water swordfish. The fishermen re-
ceive from three to eight cents a
pound for this class of food.
Shark fins are a great dainty, not
only in Japan and China, but also in
the West Indies and Bermuda, where
they appear on the menus Of the best
hotels.

Demand for Dyes.

There are two industries In the Cork
district of Ireland that might consume
considerable quantities of yellow dye.
Cork is one of the leading butter mar
kets in the world and has lately become
neutrality-suspicious. center. The
manufacturers have had difficulty in
securing dyes of a sufficiently concen-
trated and powerful character. Their
chief sources have been Scandinavia.
American dyes have been found uneco-
nomical in quality as related to price.
even though war conditions have in
creased the price of north European
dyes.

TO END HAY fever
expEaTs RECOMMEND THE
ERADICATION OF WEEDS. r
determination Of Worthless Plants
They Believe. Would Help Greatly
in the EffectuaI Stamping Out
of the Disease.

Rv n "war on weeds" hay fever sur
sarars may be relieved of an annual
orgy of sneezing according TO an ar
ticle in the Medical Record by Dr..
w. Scheppegrell of New Orleans, La.
Doctor Scheppegrell was one or the
men who caused the enactment OF H.
civ ordinance In New Orleans for the
control of weeds as the best means OF
controlling hay fever and preventing,
its spread. In his article, The Cause,
Treatment and Prevention OF Hay FEE
YER" he says it is simple disease,
"whose continued existence would be Al
reflection on preventive medicine.
"The plants that are responsible for
hay fever are practically all common
weeds. such as the ragweed, the cookie
burr. the yellow dock and others, ne
writes. "They are wind pollinated,
without attractive color or fragrance,
very numerous and with abundant pol
len. The lack of coler or scent is due
TO the fact that these plants are wind
pollinated, the qualities mentioned be-
ing intended to attract insects for fer
tilization.
"The most common weeds that cause
hay fever are the ragweeds, which are
the causes of most cases of fall hay
fever. The marsh elder iSalso a cause
of fall hay fever and frequently pro-
longs the attack. The early cases are
, due TO the yellow dock and the mid
summer cases to the careless weed,
cockleburr and other wind-pollinated
weeds. In early summer many cases
are due to the various grasses.
"The indirect reaction of pollinosis>
is partly due to the effects OF the pri-
mary irritation and partly to the alb
sorption of the protein OF the pollen
and the toxin formed by the proteo-
lytic action of the cells.
"The important factor in the treat
ment is the removal Of the exciting
cause. In many cases the pollinating
weeds are in the neighborhood of the
patients residence and the cutting OF
these will frequently give marked re-
lief. My first prescription to such pa
tients is, Have the weeds and grass
in your neighborhood cut and keep
away from other weeds
"a method which has given relief
In almost every case is the removal OF
the patient during the hay fever pc
riod from the infected locality. This
does not necessitate an expensive trip
to the mountains or seaside, which fire.
quently fails to give relief on account
of the presence of hay fever pollens in
the air at these places. A temporary
visit to a mere central part of the city
will be sufficient, provided the areas
with pollinating weeds or grasses are
at a sufficient distance (one-half mile
or more).
"As hay fever has been shown to be
a distinctly preventable disease, it is
clearly our duty 20 use every effort to
eradicate the cause. Investigations
indicate that the large majority of the
plants whose pollen give rise to hay
fever are worthless weeds, which are
alike an expense to the farmer and
a menace to health"

"This-the man knows, and will not

Cassion, charged Captain la Chesnayne

sequence the latter was broken of his
command, and his estates forfeited to
the crown. Later, through the efforts
of Frontenac, the king was convinced
of injustice, and the estates were re-
stored by royal order. This order
reached Quebec. but was never re-
corded. This Cassion was then private
secretary TO the governor. and the pa
per came into his hands. Later. to
hush mp the scandal, he married Cap
