PHILIPPINE FISH GIVE
AN ELECTRIC SHOCK
CERTAIN SPECIES LIVE ON
LAND, DROWN IN WATER,
FISH EXPERT SAYS.

Isaak Walton's "Compleat Angler
that mellow masterpiece OF plscatory
erudition, must be rewritten. For even
the placid world of the angler has not
escaped our common fate OF lncreas-
ing completely. Fish that carry an
electric shock, fish that live on land
and drown in water, FISH that pass
their lives inside other fish, tull grown
fish so small that ten thousand OF
them make light breakfast; fish, in
fact whose terse. scientific descrip-
ton recently by Dr. Albert HERE,
fish expert of the Philippine bureau
OF science, before the Manila chamber
of commerce has made all accounts
of near-caught marvels OF the tlnny
tribe appear pale and punny, are now
as familiar to residents OF Manll9~as
are subways, skyscrapers and auto
mats to New Workers.
A perfectly transparent fish, with
skin like celluloid and its fms placed
where its head and tail should be,
probably the most unique fish in ex-
istence, is among the strange and rare
varieties found in Philippine waters.
Another curious fish looks Tor all the
world like a rock. Should human
being .step on it ii squ1rts jet OF
deadly poison from its shell.
Expert fishermen enjoy meeting the
tanguingue. 1t is the gamest Philip
pine fish and a tartar when hooked.
Soldiers of Uncle Sans force station
ed in the islands dearly love the sport
afforded by this doughty warrior, us
ualy rewarding it with freedom. The
seahorse, so-cal1ed because. its head
bears a remarkable resemblance to
that OF a horse, is the fish whose males
carry the eggs in their tails, hatch
them, and bring up the young.

The u S. Department of Agriculture
Gives Some Interesting Figures.

Nobody knows just how many po-
tatoes are grown in the world year
w. but the department of agriculture

elusive of Russia and the many small
patches grown in gardens for home

Northwestern Europe is the worlds
greatest potato producing section be
cause OF favorable soil and climatic
conditions, and its people utilize the
potato to a greater extent in their diet,
in the manufacture of alcohol, and as
a feed for live stock than in any 9th
er sections of the world. Germany is
the worlds largest producer of pota-
toes, producing l,494 1871 900 bushels
