SHARK MEAT AS FOOD

Washington, April 27.-Prelim-
mary experiments are being conduct
ed by the United States bureau of
fisheries in the preparation of shark
meat as food Fisheries experts say
there is good ground for the belief
that q demand for the article will
be created Even now, they say,
sharks are more universally eaten
than is generally known, as trap
fishermen off the Massachusetts, coast
ship all Of the large species of shark,
with one exception, caught in their
trap. The head. fins and tail are re-
moved, and the shark then looks not
unlike a deep-water swordfish. They
are shipped to Boston and New York
and sold as deepwater swordtish, the
fishermen receiving from 3 to s
cents pound.
In the United States there is a
prejudice against the use of sharks
for food that results in waste of
what rightfully should be a resource,
fisheries experts declare. In Eng
land and Wales almost 100000
pounds of dogfish, valued at more
than 100000, were landed in 1913.
AS the flesh Of these small sharks,
when properly prepared, is palatable,
there appears to be no valid reason
against its use, officials say,

OF REVOLUTION IS REPORTED
FLYING SECTION OOF INDIAN
ARMY TO BE ESTABLISHED
(By Associated Press. J

Batavia, Dutch East Indies, April
27.-The government has decided
on the establishment of a regular
Flying Section for the Indian Army.
Twelve more machines of the sea-
plane type at present in use in the
experimental flying section here are
to be purchased in the United States.
A special commission will be charged
with the selection and approval of
the aeroplanes. Five trained airmen
including naval officers, are to be
sent from Holland to join the new
flying establishment.
Hitherto there have been only two
flying machines in Java. They are
seaplanes of American manufacture,
on which the first military flights
were made at the beginning of No
vember last. Unfortunately, the
flying record in the Colony has since
been sadly marred by the tragic ac-
cident in which the commander-in-
chief Of the Netherlands Indian
army, General Michielsen, lost his
life. The choice of seaplanes as the
first flying machines for Indians
forces arises from the fact that their
first use would be to give speedy
warning Of the approach of for
eign enemy across the sea and in
formation on the composition of his
fleet.
