ARE FISH ABLE TO HEART
Harvard Professors Experiments Show That Some Have Useful Ears.

Scientists have long been asking, Can fish really hear?" and experiments are now being made systematically all over the world for the purpose of finding the answer Working from the well known fact that there are fish, such as the sea robin, that when attacked made noise which is presumably audible at least to the enemy. Professor G. H. Parker of Harvard University has obtained perhaps the most satisfactory results after series of experiments conducted at the biological laboratory of the United States fish commission at Woods Hall, Mass.
 Since sounds are manifested by vibra- lions that spread out in eddyng waves, 1t is extremely difficult to decide whether fish really hears or merely feels the agitation that noise makes under water, and consequently Professor Parkers ex- periments have required apparatus of the most delicate sort. To make a noise un- der water with as little vibration as pos sible he used -a partially submerged, dsal sounding board upon which was'~tretch- sd the string of a bass viol gping very low note, and when a shan'-er tone was required it was obtained Sy means Of an -s.cctf-c s'tning fork. the small green, dllfsh-the common ESew England min- now-was seleeted fef the experiment, and Turing the tests vas placed In a network cage suspended in such a manner that it should not be affected by the sound vibra- Hons

THIEVES IN THE HEAVENS


Jupiter is much the biggest member of the family of stars which revoye around our sun. Consequently the power of his attraction is greater than that possessed, for instance, by the earth. Jupiter's ex- ploits as a burglar have caused very considerable annoyance and inconveni- enee to astronomers In the days before his powers were fully recognized.
 In ITO there appeared a fine comet, which was found to have an elliptleal orbit around the sun of so comparatively small size that MT. Lexell it's dscov- erer, calculated it would return in five and a half years. But in 1775 telescopes were vainly focused on the spot where it was expected to reappear and again in 17S1 it disappointed all observers. MT. Lexel plunged into fresh calculations and after much research found that Jupi- ter was the culprt. The unfortunate comet had been rash enough to plunge into the sphere of the giant planets at traction, with the result that 1t had been one of a 20-years' period IL has never completely diverted from it's former or bit and flung off into quite a different been seen again by anyone on this earth and probably never will be.
 Jupiter was also responsible for the de-

lay which occurred In the return of that splendid visitant known as Halleys com ct. Haley found that he was not the first dscoverer of this big comet. It had appeared at least twice previously, once 70 years before and again 76 years before that. The astronomer concluded that there would be a further delay in its third return and predicted that it's next appearance would be SIS days later. He did not live to see it, but in 175S. the year he had prophesied for it's appear ance, astronomers were waiting for it.
 But they waited for more than three months before 1t did actually appear. and then found that 1t was the planet Saturn they had to thank for delaying the comet this extra 100 days.
 This same comet appeared again in 1885, this time late again Not only had Ju- piter delayed it 51S days, and Saturn about 100, but Uranus had also had a hand in retarding it. and had added an- other G9 days to it's journey.

Was Looking For a Man.

 The American, a bicycler, came to the shore of a lonely lake, and saw in a boat a man examining the depths of the wa ter with a water te)eScope- 1plo' man conducted this animation languidly. He would pduse every little while to light his pipe and to converse on the weather or some such indifferent sub feet yien a friend who sat upon the bank now reading a newspaper and now tossing pebbles idly into the stream.
 The American got off his bicycle to rest, and in an interval of silence he said to the man seated on the bank:
