MARKED FISH IN THE SEA.
Thousands Caught, Numbered and
Put Back In British Channel.

thousands Caught, Numbered and
Put Back in British Channel.
J"tchng fish, measuring and mark
ing them and then returning them to
the sea with the chance of retaking
them later is part of the work carried
on by. the Marine Biological Associa-
ton of Great Britain.
BY means of u steam trawler the
fish are caught In the usual way. Each
haul is carefully recorded, the fish are
counted and measured and all details
Of locality, time, number, species, sex
and size are put down, together with
accurate observations on the water, the
depth and bottom of the sea, the kinds
and quantity OF food available, etc.
These data are subsequently tabulated
and charted.
The method of marking the Tish is
interesting and has been attended with
valuable results. The fish chiefly used
during the few years the experiment
has been In progress have been plaice,
because the proposals which have been
made to interfere with the catching Of
them were based on inadequate knowl-
edge.
The fish are marked on the dorsal
surface with very thin convex met
al disk bearing a number. This Is at
tached to a fine silver wire which is
passed through the thinner part Of the
fish near the fin and secured on the I'M
per side by a small bone button. The
fish do not appear to suffer inconven-
fence and their growth Is not inter-
fered with In any way.
The thoroughness with which the
North Sea is swept by the nets Of the
fishing fleets is demonstrated, says Dis
covery, by the fact that out of 5,O39
marked plaice Of all sizes 1872 were re-
captured within year. This repre-
sents 1877 per cent, or nearly one-fifth !;
but for the .-edium-siZed fish the fig
ures are far higher, ranging from 2S.4
to SO per cent for the whole Of the
North Sea and to As per cent in the
more northern portions.
The men OF the regular fishing feet
cooperate by forwarding to the labora-
tory of the association at Lowesteft all
the marked fish they catch. At the lab
oratory reference to the records easily
establishes how much the fish has gain
ed in size and weight since the previ-
ous catching. Moreover, the distance
between the spot where 1t was released
and the place where it was again
caught gives an idea as to its move
ments.

Indications Prove Words Are Ar
ranged There Like Library Books.
Disorders of speech, due to physical
damage in the brain, show that words
are there arranged somewhat like books
on library shelves. When man,
therefore, learns new language he
has to provide a new shelf for Its
words. This Is proved by the case.
among many others like 1t, Of man
who. besides his mother English, learn
ed French, Latin and Greek. He be-
came word-blind In English, but still
could read French, though with some
mistakes, and Latin with fewer mis-
takes than French, while Greek he
could read notwithstanding that his
English shelf was ruined, his French
shelf damaged, his Latin shelf less so,
while his Greek row escaped entirely.
Other instances show that the books
may be SO damned sidewise, so to
speak. that not one Of them can be
got out in which case the event proves
that on each shelf the verbs are placed
first. the pronouns next, then the pre-
positions and adverbs and the nouns
last. A man was brought to my clinic
who could not utter word. My dag
nosis ascribed his disability to tumor-
like swelling in the speech area, which
might be absorbed by giving him iodide
Of potassium. / then had him remov-
ed so that he conld not hear what was
said, while l told the class that if he
recovered he would very likely get his
verbs first, and his nouns last. When
he returned two weeks afterward, on
my showing him Il knife he said: "You
cut pencil You write" ETC. Three
weeks later he had all his preposi-
tons, but he could name no noun for

President Angel, of the University
the better and more practical instruc-
ton that the colleges were giving to-
day to their students in political sci
ence. The interest of the students In
governmental and administrative Ques-
tions is certainly deeper and more en-
heightened than ever, and certain recent
developments in these lines Of study
are as significant as they are crafty
ing. According to some editorial OBJ
servations in the Outlook, in most col
leges civic or good government clubs
have been formed for the purpose of
promoting scientific and practical study
Of national, state and municipal prob
lens and keeping them Informed of
current tendencies struggles, reform
movements and experimental remedies.
AS our contemporary we'll says: In
terest among students can be most
quickly evoked, not through books, but,
first, by lectures and papers from those
in f1rst-hand touch with municipal In

students to begin some actual connec-
ton with municipal affairs" The col
lege civic clubs owe their existence to
this feeling and to the need of con-
tact with reality. A further step was
taken when some twenty Of these clubs
banded together into an intercollegiate
Civic League, whose function 1t Is to
procure papers for the clubs, stimulate
discussion, carry on an active CORE
spondence, start clubs where they do
not as yet exist, and bring them all
into utilization with itself. A number
of papers by well-knOwn writers and
workers have been secured by the
league and printed In the college pa
pers They have dealt with such ques-
lions as municipal franchises graft and
how to fight it, machines and popular
rule. etc. Among the contributors have
been DR.. Lyman Abbott, Jacob Riis,
William Kent, of Chicago, DR.. Lindsay,
Of the Federal Child Labor Commit
tee and the solicitor for the Depart
ment Of State, Mr.. Scott. Such activi-
ties and methods are the result of the
improved instruction that is now given
in the colleges on problems Of politics
and government, and they will In turn
react on such instruction and tend to
improve 1t still further.

II alliance by kinship could guaran-
tee the peace of nations Great Britain
Is in a position to maintain friendly
relations with nearly all the countries
of Europe, says the Philadelphia
Ledger. The birth Of an heir to the
throne of Spain brings that country
into close association with England, rs
far as royal relationship goes. King
Edward married the daughter of
ruler who was called "the grandfather
Of Europe" and a British journal re-
calls with much qualification the des-
ignation of King Edward as 1.-The I'M
Gle of Europe" The British monarch
is second cousin to the King Of Bel
GUM, to the King of Portugal and to
Ferdinand, the elected Prince of Bull
garia. Among the nephews and nieces
Of Edward VII. are the present or ex-
pectant rulers of Russia, Germany.
Greece and Sweden. The Kings daueh-
ter Maud was married in 1896 to
Prince Kari of Denmark, now King
Haakon VII. of Norway. These are
Austro-British royal relationships A
collateral kinship exists between the
King of Italy and King Edward. and
an indirect connection can be traced
between the British monarch and the
King of Servia, the Queen of Holland
and the royal house of France. if that
be worth mentioning.
1t is impossible to say what inf1u-
ence these direct and indirect bonds
between the British dynasty and con-
tinental rulers would have in keeping
the peace Of Europe if it were mem
aced by substantial dispute ROYAL
relationShipShave not prevented war in
the past and most persons will not
place much confidence in such connec-
tons as factors for peace in the fu-
ture. National sentiment counts for
more in these days than the personal
interests of sovereigns.
Whatever the effort. It is obviously
one Of the purposes of royal marriages
to cement the friendships Of nations.
Such alliances are often affairs of
state rather than Of personal affection,
but they have not superseded the neces-
sity for the political alliances. often
sive and defensive. under which the
nations are grouped. The ties of royal
kinship do not appear as part of the
motive for such political alliances and
we imagine that they would prove to
he only a slight deterrent If they were
the only obstacle to a collision. The
interruption of commerce in the mod
Arn age is a much more powerful pre-
ventive of international warfare than
the kinship of kings, and commerce Is
the only unwritten alliance that counts
for much as a peace factor
