~ TO THOSE FLYING FISH.

| AUSTRIAN and English Authorities
Take Entirely Opposite Views.
Two papers on the eternal flying fish
problem have appeared almost simulta-
neously and express widely diverse
views.
In the one published In the Jahrbuch
Of the Austrian geological survey DIR.
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
fins 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 tight Is precisely similar to
that of fiat stone when thrown 80 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 a 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 fins 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 1928, 900. Next In value
was the turquoise output, quoted at
$65,000
The importation of precious stones
amounted to s34,99S,513 as compared
with $26,008.213 in 1904. Diamonds
represent the bulk of the .importations,
the rough or uncut stones being val
ued at $10,2S1,111, while the value of
the unset stones is placed at $2O,375,-
304.
