proval-in all directions. DR.. Cham
poniere, member of the Academy Of
Medicine, has made observations on
frenchwomen who huvo used the wheel,
and he finds they are better performers
than men, learning moro easily and
with less purposeless expenditure of
force. He finds n marked increase in the
amount of muscle developed all over the
trunk of the body, especially about tho
torso. Tho lung capacity is increased
full, healthy action of the heart is re-
stored and the deposition of fat is avoid
ed. Tho doctor asserts that ho can detect
infalllbly the woman who uses tho
wheel from her sisters when they cross
the streets. One proceeds with self con-
hdence and ease when tho other lodges
and invites disaster. He then examines
the mental discipline afforded by the BIZ
cycle, and thence deduces his most strik-
ing conclusions. He finds that the wom-
ans powers of attention and observation
arc awakened i'll an extraordinary de-
gree, or rather that these powers, with
which all human beings are endowed ut
birth, are saved from atrophy, which III
both sexes is one of tho most marked
defects produced by civilization. The
whcelwomen move with something Of
the freedom and dignity observed in
some of the higher uncivilized races.

MAY BE SINGING FISHES.
q Phenomenon of the Sea Which Is In
tcrcs,iI = and Mysterious.

tcrcs,irG and Mysterious.
Here is ~ recount of phenomenon
Of the Pascagoala river i'll Mississippi.
to which, although it is not generally
known, the attention of puturalists has
been called On account of its mystery.
AT times Very remarkable sounds are
heard at the mouth Of this river. Tho
local fishermen say that it is "the spirits
Singing under the water" 1t is muir
murlng sound, Ahich rises gradually
and then falls to u lower tone. Tho
music ceases when the waters arc dis
turbed, and when they are quiet it be-
gins again.
Several explanations have been offered
as to the origin and cause of the myste-
r1ous sounds of the Pascagoula. The
most satisfactory theory is that the
sounds are produced by q species of fish
in some unknown way. Professor G.
Brown Goode, who is an authority on
fishes aud fish life, thinks that the drum
fish may cause the sounds In question
Instances of peculiar sounds being
heard Mt sea and ascribed to fishes are
not uncommon, as the following exam
pies will show:
In 1924, when Lieutenant White of
the American navy was ut the mouth of
river i'll Cambodia, no and his crew
were surprised by unusual sounds. He
described the noises as mixture of the
bass OF an organ, tho ringing of bells,
tho cultural cries of n large frog and the
tones Of an immense harp. The natives
said that the sounds were produced by Il
school of a certain kind of fish.
DIR. Bulst, 1S47, reported that party
OF people i'll boat on the waters near
Bombay heard strange sounds, which
the natives held to be caused by fish.
The we'll known English traveller, Sir j.
Emerson Tennent, heard similar sounds
from the lake of Batticaloa in Ceylon
and here again the natives claimed tina
fishes made the sounds Several CORE.
spondents Of newspapers have reported
having heard sounds which were pro.
duced by fishes. One writer in the Lon.
don Field, 1867, AYERS that in the har
Dor at Greytown, Nicaragua, he was
haunted ut night by these mysteriou.
sounds. Another In the Same paper tell,
OF musical sounds which no heard in til,
Tavoy river Other instances Of more
recent dato might be mentioned.
From all the accounts given wo may
draw somo interesting conclusions.
Thus it seems that tho sounds are III
most always heard on shipboard, though
Charles Kingsley once heard them a.
Trinidad from the shore: that they arc
usually heard in tropical regions; trs.,
they are more often heard ut night thar
ct any other time; that they are com,
monty heard at the mouth of 1ivers, n.
at tho mouth of the Pascagoula, and
that they have been reported from fan
distant places i'll America, Europe ant
| Asia. Our Animal Friends.
