~ TO THOSE FLYING FIs4.

austrian and English Authorities
Take Entirely Opposite Views.
Two papers on the eternal flying fish
Problem have appeared almost slmulta-
neously and express widely diverse
views.
In the one published In the Jahrbuch
Of the Austrian geological survey DR..
Abel, after describing the various kinds
of fossil flying fish, concludes that
neither the typical flying fish nor the
flying gurnards ever use their pectoral
fms as active organs of flight On the
contrary, the initial impetus by means
Of which these fishes are launched into
the air is due entirely to powerful,
screwlike movements of the tail fin, and
this impetus is sufficient to carry them
to the end of their journey, the wings
acting merely as parachutes. In other
words, the fight Is precisely similar to
that Of fiat stone when thrown so as
to ricochet from the points where 1t
touches the water until 1t finally falls.
In the second paper, published in the
Annals and Magazine Of Natural His
tory, the author, Lieutenant Colonel G..
d. Durnford, takes precisely the oppo-
site view, maintaining, on mechanical
grounds, that the aeroplane theory, as
the above may be called Is an absolute
physical impossibility owing to the fact
that the wing surface is far too small
in proportion to the size and weight Of
the body to sustain the fish during its
long flight
This being admitted, the only alterna-
tive Is to suppose that the wings" are
moved with an exceedingly rapid vi
bratOry motion throughout the whole
flight, and are thus, after the first mi.
tial impetus, the propelling power. The
author further maintains that the wing
movements which many observers have
noticed when a flying fish touches a
wave are not movements de novo, but
merely such slowing down of the
continuous rapid vibrations as to rem
der them visible to the eye. If Colo
mel Durnford's mechanical data are
trustworthy-as they seem to be-his
case appears to be proved.
The next point, however, to ascertain
Is whether the muscles which work the
pectoral fms of flying fish are really
capable of imparting to them the power
OF maintaining these rapid and contin-
uous vibrations which are the essential
part Of the new theory.-London Field

MINING NOTES.

Grand Forks is thoroughly establish
ed as the greatest railway and smelt-
ing center in British Columbia. When
the two lines now under construction
are completed up the North Fork
there will be railways in seven direc-
tons from Grand Forks. More than
any other town west of Winnipeg can
boast Of. These railways nearly all
open up rich territories, the inhabi-
tants of which will be brought within
easy access to Grand Forks.
The United States geological sur
Vey, in bulletin on the production
and importation of precious stones in
the United States in 1905, says the
value Of the output of precious stones
in that year reached 1926, $50, of which
the yield from sapphire mines
amounted to $125,O0O. Next in value
was the turquoise output, quoted at
$4,000.
The importation Of precious stones
amounted to $34,998,513 as compared
with $26,OO8,21S in 1904 Diamonds

ULTIMATuM TO UNDERWRITERS.

Get Out of Business.

Get Out of Business.
In the name of the city Of San
Francisco and the state of California
demand has been made upon insur-
ance companies that are accused of
trying to dodge their obligations for
full settlement with the people of
the city A telegram signed by
Mayor Schmitz and Governor Pardee
has been sent to the home offices of
the 81 companies that voted in Oak
land to cut all payments of losses 25
per cent. The exact contents of the
telegram are kept secret, but it known
that the message is virtually an ulti-
matum and a warning to the concerns
addressed that they must deal fairly
and honestly with the San Francisco
public or be, driven from California.
Before the message was sent it was
submitted to Insurance Commissioner
Wolf, who gave it his entire approval
A number of companies that hold
large amounts of reinsurance in other
concerns would sign stipulations ex-
tending the time for filing proof
of loss were they not prohibited
from doing so by the reinsurance com
panies. They have conferred with
Commissioner Wolf and explained the
plight in which they find themselves.
They have been warned, they say, that
they will run the risk of losing all
their reinsurance if they yield to any
demand of the insurance commits
sioner. The Royal Exchange company
has arranged with the commissioner
to have a published extension of time
accepted by him instead of the stipula-
ton demanded. This extension is
until September l.

Prevention of Cooking OdOrs,

OdOrs from cooking, the careful
housewife may be glad to know, can
be prevented by tying up in a linen
bag a lump Of bread about the size
Of billiard ball and placing 1t in the
pot with the boiling greens, hams, etc.
This will absorb the gases which often
times send such an effiuvium to the re-
gions above. A few red peppers or
pieces Of charcoal put into the pot are
also said to stop the unpleasant odor
which generally fills the house when
green vegetables are boiled.
