NyEIIS Is fish story, but one
filled with truth. The fisher.
men around the coasts Of France,
but especially those OF Bretagne
and the Mediterranean shores,
have long complained Of the raw
ages of a somewhat mysterious
inhabitant OF the sea which they
call the "beluga" - mysterious,
however, only as to its precise
identity among the marine rela-
tives of the whale known as the
small cetaceans. Some think that
that it is dolphin. and others that
it is a porpoise. But those who
take a wide and unprejudiced
view not affected by locality. be.
lieve that it is all three. In other
words, all Of the small cetaceans
are suspect.
At any rate, archaeological au'
thorities assert that the offender
is certainly not what 1t Is called
viz, a beluga, for $he beluga
dwells only in the cold waters or
the northern seas, and Is a larger
animal than the kind that eats
the catch and breaks the nets
of the French fishermen, even
imperilling, according to some
accounts, The continuance or
their industry.
Condition Serious
The matter is so serious that
the fishermen have again and
again demanded aid and pro-
lection from the French Marine
Department, and to a certain
extent they have obtained what
they asked for, without, how
ever, finding any relief from the
destructive attacks of their mys-
terious enemy. All sorts OF
weapons have been called into
play, but without much effect.
To begin with, the Government
agents found themselves ham,
pered by not knowing for sure
what enemy they had to fight.

it was found to have been feed

FOE OF FISHERS
By Garrett P. Serviss

At Douarnanez they have had
a little torpedo boat engaged Ill
shooting at the "beluga"; at Con-
carneau q fish guard boat armed
with cannon and nitrailleuse.
On the Mediterranean coast the
firing Of the cannon drove away
the mischief makers for a week
- and the fish for a much longer
time!
Ever poison bait. submarine
mines. barrage nets. other nets
ingeniously contrived so az to
separate the fish from their
enemies when both were caught.
hydravions to drop explosives or
other missiles on the haIf.seen
enemy. and dirigibles for the
same purpose, have been either
used or suggested for use in this
strange warfare.
Off to Paris
A very commonsense step was
that Of sending some Of the fish
ermef to Paris to examine the
collection of marine creatures In
the Natural History Museum
there. with the hope that they
might thus be enabled to identify
their enemy more certainly. This
is q feather In the cap Of such
institutions. even If the attempt
at Identification in tbs particu-
lar case was not very successful
A striking fact brought out was
that while the Breton fishers " ere
disposed to accuse the grampus,
and those from the Mediterrana dn
the dolphin, the long.headed Bas-
cues from Foch's country had no
complaint to make against any of
the small cetaceans, which they
rather regarded as useful to
them. since they indicate by
breaking water at the surface Of
the sea where shoals OF fish are
to be found. The Basques are
willing to pit their wits against
those OF the cetaceans when 1.-THE
latter show them the way to the
submarine hunting grounds.
But the whole business may
take an unexpected turn from
the suggestion OF M. r. Legendre,
that the fishermen turn the tables
upon the cetaceans by fishing for
them, instead Of fighting them.
He points out that the monks
long taught the excellence of the
dolphin's flesh as 'viande maigre,"
!. e. meat that may be eaten on
fast days, because 1t seems to be
fish; and he declares that 1t Is
very palatable, very tender and
totally devoid of any fishy taste
or odor. So he advocates the
chase Of dolphins and their rela.
tives. with harpoon guns, as de-
sirable and valuable addition to
hllna1a. food. resources
