Sea Cucumber a Fish

The sea cucumber is really liv-
ing creature and not a vegetable.
It's other names are the trepang
or holothurian. The body Of this
strange dweller in the sea is COM
posed of muscular tissue covered
with warts or spines, and which
generally resemble in shape their
vegetable namesake, says the Bos-
f6h Globe.
Sea cucumber is considered a
great luxury among the Chinese,
Malays and other Eastern peoples.
and its gathering and preparation
for the market is a fiourishing in
dustry among the islands of the
Pacific. White men who have eaten
cucumber soup declare 1t to
be delicious. The trepangs. which
grow from ten to fifteen inches
long. are gathered from coral reefs.
They are then boiled, dried in the
sun and hung over a fire. which
gives them smoky taste.
