its flesh is superior In soundness and
wholesomeness to that of the oyster
and other marine creatures which live
near shore in water contaminated by
many impurities.
The weight of a fairly large fresh
abalone is two pounds, or which all
but half a pound ls good meat. the
shell being very light. The meat is
nutritious, being highly albuminous,
like that of clams. oysters. lobsters
and shell fish generally. Albumen Is
one of the chief elements of nutri-
tion In milk, cheese. eggs. etc.
The. flesh as it comes from the shell
is too tough to be eaten, whether tin-
cooked, boiled, stewed. or tried. The
toughness used to be partly eliminated
by pounding and hammering It, but
this did not render the meat really
mndsr. No matter how long It may
be boiled. the fish remains hard.
After many experiments a San Fran-

ered that if the abalone ls killed "by

The flesh and juice of the abalone

may be stewad or fried, while the
juice makes a good broth. soup or up-

A new machine of war has arrived.
It will be a ship as large and event-

ocean battleships. It will fight. front
the height of a mile above the earth.
and will maneuver during battle at a
rate of 60 or 65 miles an hofir. The.
general discussion of experts for a
number of years has established a so-
cslied “zone of safety," in which the
last German airship, the Zeppelin II.
has been built to travel In time of ac-
tion. This is about 1,850 yards
(nearly a mile) above the surface of
the earth. The reason for adopting
this level as that here the airship Is
out of range of the military rifle.
which constitutes Its chief dancer.
Nothing alive on the ground can
escape the fire of an airship. It will
be armed with rapid-lire guns, carry-
ing shells, but. its chief reliance in
lighting Infantry or cavalry will be
upon the machine rifle. With‘ this
weapon it can turn a stream of 400
bullets a minute on any troopstwithln

stream of a garden hose pgsinst a
