PUZZLES NATURALISTS.
Experiments with Fish Eggs FAN to
Produce Freaks.

A phenomenon that has been a puZ-
zle to naturalists is the frequent occur
renee of embryo monsters in fiGh eggs
that is to say, double-headed and
otherwise abnormal young ones. With
view to acquiring some knowledge
on the subject, experts of the fish COM
mission have been trying to produce
similar monsters artificially, by pur-
posely inflicting certain injuries upon
the eggs. 1t has been proved that
various freaks may be obtained from
the eggs of chickens by interfering at
a critical period with the germs they
contain and 1t was thought that the
same thing might be accomplished
with fish eggs. so as to throw light
upon the causes of such deformities.
With this benevolent intention, fish
eggs of various kinds were jolted about
and otherwise treated injuriously. One
lot OF them, for example, was placed
in a glass jar securely corked, which
was then dropped ten times from a
height of four feet into a wooden pail
half filled with water, striking the bot
tom of the bucket each time with con-
siderable violence. But these and other
trials produced no monsters. though
they killed good many of the eggs.
Those left alive Matched out normal
fish in due time. The conclusion was
reached that, in handling fish eggs, it
is of the utmost Importance to avoid
shaking them up or disturbing them in
any avoidable way.-Saturday Evening
