No swimmer who has ever en-
countered the Whip-lash tail of the
sting ray forgets the experience.
And once you have seen the sting
ray and observed it at all, you do
not confuse it with any other fish
unless it is one of the skates. All you
have to remember is the long, snaky,
whip-like tail-and you can speak
with authority when it comes to
field marks.
The older the sting ray grows, the
more knobs or buttons are accumu-
lated on his rough back. The young
er generation makes a smooth
skinned group, and age may be
easily detected by the telltale tub
ercles.
Including the tail, a sting ray
is about II feet long And the tail
is usually twice as long as the disk,
rounded above and tapering to a
fine point at its tip.
There are spines, which may be
one or several situated about one
fifth of the way from the back
and on the tail.
The sting rays are well-known,
mostly for their deeds, on both
sides of the tropical ana temperate
Atlantic, north on the American
coast to Cape Cod. Only the south
ern waters appeal to this stinger,
and when few have been recorded
in colder waters. it is because the
sting ray was seized with wander
lust or may have become confused

wounds result. 1t is a jagged cut
that heals slowly and there is much
danger of blood-poisoning. Not that
the ray produces poison along
with the terrific lash, but there is
slime on the tail and the loose
cuticle of the spine infects the cut.
cut.
The courtship and domestic af-
fairs Of the sting rays are not over
emphasized. All of them are vivi-
parous. The eggs hatch within the
body and the baby sting rays are
smooth-skinner, but they love to
"crack-the-whip" at the slightest
indication of interference with their
peace of mind.

shellfish and crabs. They have
small, skate-like teeth, and soon re-
duce their catch to edible portions.
Sting rays do not have economic
importance and are heartily des-
pissed by fishermen and swimmers.

They slipped in and out of King

half-dozen residents knew they were
there. The license clerk, Viola o.
sen, said she was so startled when
she recognized them that she was
almost speechless.
After issuing the license, she di-
rected them to the parish house of
the Rev. Kenneth NJ Engle, pastor
OF the First Methodist Episcopal
Church. While Miss Lombard
changed from a simple travelling
suit to gray flannel ensemble, the
minister quickly arranged the de-
