UNCLE RAYS CORNER

It is a dangerous thing to be
fish. Unless you are on the lookout
all the while, you are likely to be
echtled IN by larger fish.
Some fish. to be sure, feed on sea-
weeds, and do not bother other flsh.
Most of them however. ike 10 eat
anv fish they can swallow.
It is not always the size of flsh
which gives it power to eat other
fish. Some big ones have small
biting power. ,,,
When I say that, I am thinking
especially of certain gigantic sharks,
Thev are basking sharks, and whale
sharks. and are common in parts OF
both the Atlantic and Pacific. Their
mouths are of fairly good size. but
thev have small, weak teeth. They
could not take care of fish the size
Of a pickerel
The "eating power" of those
shc-ks is less than that OF the small
f ! called "swalloWers."
Not many swallowers have been
caught, but it appears that they
usually are no smaller than perch
and no larger than pickerel. They
spend their lives deep in the ocean.
The most famous member of the
family is the black swalloWer. 1t

acts as if it were made of rubber.
That is why there can be such
meal.
Sometimes a black swallower IS
too greedy. 1t tackles victim twice
as lorc as itself! Thanks to Being
folded as it is swallowed, the fish
may be taken in, but this leads to
trouble for the sWalloWer. Gas
forms in it's stomach before diges-
ton takes place, and the black
swallower dies.
When that happens, the black
swallower rises to the surface OF the
ocean and floats around. Now and
then the body is picked up.
A black sWallower with bigger
fish inside it was obtained by the
United States National Museum
Washington, D. c., and was put on
display.

Salisbury's Dollar Day Sales have

at all ages and from all causes.
Deaths at the other end of the scale
due to the degenerative diseases of
the middle and older age groups &C
counted for 1888 or 81 per cent of
the total from all causes, an increase
of almost 1000 over the total for the
same causes in 1889. The deaths in
this group for the two years were as
follows: Heart disease, 1865 in 1889;
and 6,329 in 1910; cancer, 2,341 in
1889, 2,525 in 1910; nephritis, 2,142
in 1889, 1927 in 1910; cerebral hem
orrhage 1,676 in 1889, 1,771 in 1910;
and diabetes, 529 in 1889 and 571 in
1910.
There were increases in deaths
from whooping cough, which was
widely prevalent during the year, and
in deaths from tuberculosis. Whoop-
ing cough rose from 20 deaths in
1889 to Cd in 1910 and tuberculosis
from 1900 deaths in 1889 to 1,438
in 1910. Deaths from motor vehicles
accidents increased from 400 in 1889
to 523 in 1910.
Outstanding decreases in deaths
from the communicable diseases were
shown in typhoid fever, which drop
ped from 16 deaths in 1889 to 10 in
1910, marking a new low record for
that disease; in diphtheria, of which
z deaths were reported in comparison
with % in 1889 and in the pneumon-
las which dropped from 1928 deaths
in 1889 to 1,131 in 1910.

DECREASE WAS SHOWN
IN CATCHING" DISEASES

Provisional figures for births and
deaths during 1910, reported by DR..
R. H. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health, show that
gains and losses were fairly well bal
anced and that health conditions were
generally favorable.
There were $500 more births than
deaths; 3O,429 births and 22,126
deaths were reported in the State
during the year in comparison with
1924 births and 20,837 deaths in
1889. Of the births reported in 1910,
23,888 were white and 6,541 colored.
Births were divided as follows: 49,
851 in Baltimore City, of which 10,-
264 were white and 1857 colored;
and 1858 in the counties, 1924
white and 1854 colored.
Of the deaths reported in 1910,
17,114 were white and SOP colored.
There were 1928 deaths in Balti-
more City, S,402 white and 1851 col
ored; and 1O,S63 in the counties, 81
712 white and 2,151 colored.
Considering the births and deaths
in relation to population, the report
shows that there were approximately
II births and IL deaths in each thous-
and of the total population. In the
white population there were 16 births
and II deaths and in the colored, Fl
births and 16 deaths in each thousand
of the total population.
Of the 22,126 deaths reported in
1910, 1,500-one in every 15-were
babies under a year old, 1000 white
and 500 colored. There were CAB in

City. 800 white and 253 colored;
and 857 from the counties, 610 white
and 247 colored. Over half of the
infant deaths-872-occ in the
first month Of life.
Over two-thirds of the deaths re-
ported in 1910 occurred among two
age groups-the youngest and the

at that hour, it was locked, he car

he burst the fastening and, entering

beams and making way toward the
Soda Parlor. He closed the doors
after making his exit, and left the

considered the source of the trouble.
The water glass and pressure guage
had been victims of the heat, but,
otherwise, there was no defect.
Whether it was a defect in wiring
that started the trouble has not been
definitely decided.
Mr.. Bayly's place of business, be-
ing nearest the blaze, was the worst
sufferer, and it shows dire results
of the destructive element. Water
and heat played havoc with stock, fix
lures, ceiling, and floors. The room
is a good example of what damage
can be done when flames begin to
act.
The grocery and living room of E.
A. Merrill, adjoining the soda parlor,
was also damaged, but not to the
same extent as the Bayly apartment.
Water, smoke, and some fire show

but Mr.. Merril's business need not
be interrupted.
This fire incident, and that of the
Pocomoke City National Bank, takes

So impressed was Governor O'Con-

tiny DUPONT tender, that he made ap-
