What softens the bones of canned fish?. A. Contrary to popular opinion, the bones of canned fish are soft- ened by heat and not the oif con- tained in the flesh. Much softening. takes place during the processing interval, in which the sealed cans are heated for a period of time sufficient to destroy all organisms that might cause spoilage. Canned salmon, sardines, kippered her- ring, and other fish products have bones softened by this heating aft- er the cans are packed. Q. What is the cause of the-tiny holes sometimes found in dead sea shells? A. Certain small bivalve shells belonging to the clam and oyster group occasionally fall victim to certain predatory conchs- of the Genera Thais and Purpura. Called “oyster drills”, these small conchs will attach themselves to a bivalve and drill through the shell with their file-like tongues or radulae. When the shell has been perform- ed, the oyster drill injects a poi- sonous: purplish fluid into its yic- tim and absorbs its flesh and body juices. Frequently shells showing the tiny holes produced by oyster Chapter Fifteen T WAS Tuesday afternoon, a week later, when the front door bell rang sharply.

This lithe tawny sonne creature with the light goiden-skinned beauty of northern Italy, who stood on the step,. staring at Anthea with vague surprise, seemed to have been conjured up out of the air to play the part. Then she said, “Does Mr. Car- lotti live here?” Anthea came to life as though someone had shot a glass of cold water over her. The voice was so une She could not say quite what she had expected, the sonorous flow of Spanish perhaps, or the liquid bubble of Italian. Certainly not the flat Middle- West accent of Chicago. She said quickly, “Yes, Mr. Carlotti does live here, but he is not in at the moment. Can I help you? I'm his secretary.” The greeny hazel eyes with their long soft lashes regarded Q.. What is a candle fish? A. This is one of the popular names of the smelt, Osmerus mor- dax, and certain of its freshwater allies. These fish are noted for the delicate flavor of their oil-filled flesh, and +t is reported that some of them, if dried, can be used as candles after a wick is placed in- side them. 9. Mordax, the sea smelt, is remarkable for the long, recurved teeth which it bears on its tongue. They feed freely on smaller fishes, swimming crusta- cea, ete. Q.

Sperm and bottlenose whales and their allies are capable, on the other hand, of diving to great depths in order to catch this squid on which they commonly feed.

S. Treasury in recent years has set the direction of in- terest rates. For many years it has kept them low, favoring bor- rowers over savers. A reverse trend started many months ago with a revolt against this policy by the Federal Reserve Board. Interest rates began to rise slowly. = Financial circles expect the new administration to keep tas «ud going and perhaps speed it up at any sign of the start of another inflationary movement, The treasury will tip its hand in the first week in February, New York bankers believe. They expect it to offer higher interest on nearly nine billion dollars. Many believe it will also offer the transfer of as much as possible of it to a long term basis and: hands of savers who will hold. it until maturity.
