These terms are employed to designate the two general bio- logical groups into which most modern fishes fall. Such fish as tarpon, herring, salmon, and carp which have but one dorsal fin lacking bony spines are consider- ed primitive types. These are call- gical list of fishes. The spiny-ray- ed fishes include more advanced ; types such as mullet, perch, bass, HERE | AMs~ MIND IF | COME UP? By Lee Falk and Phil Davis | sat HAT MAN--ONE OF YOUR, G- DEAD! SLAVES--IS DOC!

Howard Strunk, Ft. Walton, Fla. A. These are the large pink conchs belonging tc the Genus Strombus. The most common of these is the king conch, S. gigas, which is a staple article of food in the Bahamas, where it is vast- ly more abundant than in the | Florida Keys. The pgrtion of: the | animal that is eaten is the large muscular foot, which is rounded , elongated, rather than flatten- , as in most other conchs. The snowy white meat is tenderized ; before being fried or made into |} chowder. It is said to be excelent when eaten raw. t Q. How many gills do sharks‘ have? : \ Sharks have from 5 to 7 pairs; of gills, each of which opens to the exterior by means of a separ- ate gill cleft. In this way sharks differ from the true bony fishes, in which the gills are covered by | a movable bony operculum -with only a single opening to the ex-, terior. Most sharks have five separate gill clefts on each | but a few of the more primitive | forms may have 6 or even 7. | Q. What does U. S. S. mean! when placed before tke name of a ship? A. U. S.

No. The ribbonfish (also known as cutlass fish or scabbard fish) is a petuliar eel-like fish dis- tantly related to the mackerals. The body is silvery, flattened, andj the tail tapers to a threadlike point. Although this fish, Trichiu- rus lepturus, has a head and teeth superficially resembling a barra- cuda, the two are in no way re- lated. The ribbonfish reaches a length of 5 feet and feeds on other fishes, but is harmless to man. IS THIS A NEW REDUCING DIET? BOLTON, Conn. (#—Mollie, one of the town’s fattest cows and best milk producers, is dead because of something she ate—nails. They didn’t know what was wrong with her until veterinarian Harry Sherman found the trouble with a mine detector, He operated—extracted a nail in her second stomach. But Mollie failed to respond. They tried peni- cillin, sulfa drugs, intravenous glucose and dextrose feedings. It was fo use. Mollie was seni to the slaughter house Monday. A post mortem examination showed she had an- other nail in another stomach.

Bonn shook his head. “It ain’t that kind of riding,” he said, and seemed embarrassed by: the need for explanation. “It’s—well, us fellers on Spanish Strip are hav- ing trouble with Roman Four.
