ISTHhIAN CANAL MAY
UNITE THE FISH FAMILY
Piscatorial Relatives Separated for Cen
turies Expected to Meet When
Waterway Is Finished.

According TO Indiana scientists. there
Will be remarkable reunion OF long
separated relatives OF various fish tribes
when the Panama canal, some day in
dim and distant future. shall have been
completed The scientists are anxious
to know all about IT. and they are go
ing to urge Congress to make an appro-
priation for a biological survey of the
canal zone. about which they have
some entertaining theories
It appears that scientific studies have
shown that tens of thousands of years
ago there was water connection across
the present isthmus OF Panama This
is known because the small fish that
swim about in the Pacific near the
isthmus, are derived from those on the
Atlantic side. But hundreds OF cen
turtles ago the water connection was
cut of. and since then the fish have DIFF
ferentiated and have developed inde-
pendent methods of living.
When the canal IS finished II is ex-
pected the fish on the Pacific side Will
rush to meet theft cousins Of the mil
lionth degree. over on the Atlantic side.
and that then will come to pass all sorts
of rapid evolution OF fauna. The fish
from the Pacific may revert back to
the ways Of their ancestors before they
left their old home on the Atlantic side.
and went West TO grow up with the
country. Or the fish on the Atlantic
side may conclude to adopt the style OF
living OF their relatives 10 the West.
In order TO know Just what does hap
pen, and learn sonnet thing new about
evolution. the Indiana scientists feel
there should be a careful study now OF
biological conditions alon~ the zone and
in the waters on both sides Of the 18TH
mus. Senators Hemenway and Bev-
eridRe and the Hoosier members of the
House will be expected 10 urge an aD-
propriation for such a survey.
