why the Fish Migrate.

PRINCETON, N. j.. September 20.-The
ment to Woods Hall, Mass. in charge Of
Prof. Libby Of Princeton, to study how the
currents IN the Gulf Stream affect the migra-
ton Of fishes, has completed its task. The
members Of the party were Dr. Libby, Prof.
N. Dodd and l.. w. Nudge. A meteorologl-
cal calcnlation was made at New York, Bos-
ton and Nantucket light ship. The govern
ment Oe t schooner Grampus was used in running
up and down the coast, and at intervals Of
ten miles the temperatures N were taken; From
Gnlf Stream was not warm throughout; that
there were cold streams running in it, and
that these cold streams would compel fishes
coming up the warm Gulf Stream from the
tropics to return. Thus It can be explained
why 1t is that so many nsh migrate every
winter from our rivers.

yard the freshly buried body Of woman Of
the better class who had died suddenly, not
from starvation. but probably from some
heart trouble, and fed upon portions OF the
flesh.
The horrible fact was discovered by other
famine victims, who, instead OF exposing the
case, themselves insisted on a share OF the
remains. Finally the eanni0alism came to
light through revelation made TO the pope
or priest Of the village. Sueh confusion
relgns In the famine districts that nothing
has been done to punish the cannibals. who
would probably welcome Imprisonment with

San Bernardino The Bear Valley
Company Commences Work on Its New
Dam-The Motor Road Repaired.

SAN BERNARDINo, August IA heavy
storm ragged for many hours in the
mountains east of this city this morn
