F'renchwomen who have used the wheel,
and he finds they are better performers

with less purposcless expenditure of

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 no can detect

wheel from her sisters when they cross

fidence and ease when the other lodges
and invites disaster. He then examines
tho mental discipline afforded by the BIZ

ing conclusions. He finds that the woln-
ans powers of attention and observation

which all human beings are endowed at

both sexes is one of tho most marked

i"ehomenon of tho Sea Which Is In
terc"tiI {. and Mysterious.
Aere is III account OF phenomenon
vi inc Iasvagoula river i'll Mississippi.
10 which, although it is not generally
Aiio"n, the attention of naturallsts has
oeeh called OIL account of its mystery.
Ae times very remarkable sounds are
Heard at tho mouth Of this river. The
local fishermen say that it is "tho spirits
singing under the water.' It is q muir
muring sound, Which rises gradually
ana then falls to II lower tone The
music ceases when tho waters are dis
turbed, and when they are quiet it be-
gins again
Several explanations have been offered
Us to the origin and cause Of the mystic
rlous sounds Of tho Pascagoula. The
most satisfactory theory is that the
sounds are produced by u species of fish,
III some unknown way. Professor G.
brown Goode. who is an authority on
fishes and fish life, thinks that the drum
hsh may cause the sounds in question.
Instances of peculiar sounds being
heard at 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 tho mouth of
river i'll Cambodia, he and his crew
We're surprised by unusual sounds. He
described the noises as mixture Of tho
bass OF an organ, the ringing of bells,
tho cultural cries Of large frog and tho
tones of an immense harp The natives
said that the sounds were produced by a
school Of q certain kind of fish
DIR. BUST, 1917, 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 tho lake of Batticaloa in Ceylon,
and here again the natives claimed tina
fishes mado tho 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 at night by these mysterious
sounds. Another In the same paper tells
OF musical sounds which ho heard in the
Tavoy river. Other instances of more
recent date night DO mentioned
From all the accounts given We may
draw sone interesting conclusions
Thus it seems that tho sounds are al
most always heard on shipboard, though
Charles KingEley once heard them u.
Trinidad from the shore; that they are
usually heard in tropical regions; th;s.
they are more often heard ut night than
at any other time; that they are COM
monty heard at the mouth of rivers, as
at the mouth of the Pascagoula, and
that they have been reported from far
distant places in America, Europe and
Asia.-Our Animal Friends.
