FISH CLIMB TO REACH WATER.
Old Angler Tells Story to Prove Piscaturial
Reasoning Power

Fishes have more sense than they are credited
with having said old angler. and my expe-
rience has taught not to put much faith in the
statement that they only know things from the
vibration due to conclusion. I think they reason IN
some way other. I don't know just how II is.
am satisfied that nature has not been particularly
extravagant in the matter OF giving fish tntelli-
gence. Besides. ! know that their eyes are fat
and they can see but very little. suppose the eye
of the fish is worse, il anything than the OF the
reptile. But taking all these things into cOnsidera-
ton, am convinced from little things I have OBJ
served that the FISH is a pretty wise member and
that he at least knows what is good for him when
he is confronted by the blunt issue OF surviving
not surviving. Why Is il that FISH always foun-
ders toward the water? That's the point I have in
mind, and IL is fact above all others that
has convinced that the fish has more sense than
we think ] have never seen tish that would not
founder toward the water.
Il know two answers will be made to this sugges-
ton. One is that mere is generally slope toward
the water. and that hence the force OF gravity de
termines the direction OF the hsh's movement And
the other is a primary reasOn-the matter of in

instinct and reason. cannot tell the difference be-

YACHT CENTREBOARDS.
Hoo Anson Phelps Stokes Proposes
to M0Ue Them.

Yachts which have movable centreboard In
stead of a deep fixed keel. enjoy great advantage
in cruising in shallow water. That type of boat
will probably never go out of fashion. Still. the
task of raising the centrebOard in the WELL and
lowering it. as occasion requires is aborious. and it
is not to be wondered at that ingenious yachtsmen
have considered the idea of simplifying and facii-
tatng the operation. Arson Phelps Stokes, of New
York City, is one who has done He worked
the scheme out fully enough last year TO be in
a position 10 apply for patent, which was granted
to him March 81, 1903
One can quickly grasp his method after a glance
at the accompanying drawing. The portion of the
centreboard which. in actual service is to be low
cred into the water, is indicated at A, and the
pivot at B. The other part of the centreboard &,
has q carefully rounded edge at all points equids-
tant from B. Along the edge formed teeth.
Into these mesh two bevel gears This latter are
at the ends OF vertical shafts which terminate
on deck in handwheels, D and Z. BY rotating the
wheels in direction. 1t is possible to depress
the part of the centreboard marked below the
keel BY rotating them in the other direction it
can be hauled up again. When the bevel gears are
out of use they can be lifted out of engagement
with the rack, series of teeth, on c by pulling
d and z upward.

animals. This is the record OF Mrs James c..

Larches, Irvington-on- FIudson. Mrs Donnet went
to India some time ago with her husband, who is
an officer in the British army, and her parents
have just received from her letter. The letter is
in part as follows:
I am the proud slayer OF the largest tiger ever

WEATHER MAP STATION AT ATLANTIC CITY

Ease OF operation is promoted by the fact that
C is sort of counterpoise for A. Provision against
shock when the centreboard is brought to its
working position, may be made by interposing a
spring or buffer between it and the pin which
serves a stop. In his patent specifications Mr.
Stokes says:
1t will be seen that my improved centreboard
used such as of manipulation, avoidance Of
pressure and wear the trunk, and strength Of
construction. The weight of the strengthening
pieces tends to balance the centreboard, and the
strain on the hosting apparatus is less and is
more uniform. The construction is safer stronger
better placed, and exposes larger surface below
the vessel than the old type, and II permits the
more convenient use Of csntreboards and especially
rangemert of the operating devices at the side of
the trunk Tor welD. instead of in line herewith
presents an additional advantage in that II permits
central passage from cabin to gallery without
the interference OF pipe for the centreboard pen
