Fish Cannot Hear.

Much controversy as taken place
or the question of sense of hearing
in fish, and many experiments have
been tried with view TO settling it..
Some or the latest of these are those
of which NJ. Marage have given an
account in the Paris Comics Rendus
The fish he experimental with were
carp, tench, pike, eel and others, and
the author finds no evidence of a
sense of hearing Sounds were
transmitted into the water close to
the fish with an energy capable of
Affecting deaf mutes. No effect was
produced on the fish.-Forest and

vaga~Ies of the Plumb Line.

One peculiar thing that men Of sci
ence have discovered in their innum-
erable efforts to measure and map
the earth with the least possible er-
rOr is the fact that there are places
where the direction of plumb line is
not vertical. Irregularities Of dens-
ity in the crust of the globe may
produce this phenomena. A re-
markable instance has been found
IN the island of Porto Rico, where
the deviation from the vertical is so
great that, in mapping the island, the
northern and southern coast lines, as
shown on the older maps, had each
to be moved inward half d mile.

BITTEN BY "sNAKE CURE"
Old Gypsy Woman Plays Clever
Trick on Doctor.

Novel crimes are occasionally COM
m1tted in Paris, as, for instance: An
old gypsy woman called on a doctor
living in the Place Pierriere and
asked him to visit Aer daughter who
was lying in a caravan On the forti-
fieations near by. ''I have tried the
serpent cure, she said, but there
was no result. If you will allow me
to pay your fee in advance I shall be
sure you will come"
The doctor consented and the old
woman handed him a 500 note. AS
he was getting the change out of his
safe she again mentioned the ser
pent cure and he asked her what
it was. This she said, and, taking
a box from under her rags she turn
ed half a dozen snakes out on the
floor
The doctor was startled and rush
ed out OF the room. When he re-
turned with stick he found that
the woman and the snakes had van
ished, while all the money in his safe
had also gone. He still held the
500 note in his nand. but this
proved to be a forgery.-Chicago

A master-at-arms is a petty officer

navy there are four grades of mas

and masteT-at-arms of the first, sec

Consolation for Girls.

Beware of the homely little girl,
for she is more than likely to be
the handsOmest of her set when she
is ready to leave school. and Will no
doubt remember any Sights that
were offered her when she was an
ugly little duckling. 1t is seldom
that the pretty child grows into a
beautiful woman. and that is no
doubt the way nature evens up
things.

Pedestrian Rights.

The right of the pedestrian to the
road is gradually being wrested from
him, and certainly most motor driv-
ers have little respect for him. This
right must not be yielded and the
conductors of motor traffic on the
roads must be made to learn that
pedestrians have as much claim to
the use of the roads as they have.
What we think should be done now
that the old relatively slow horse
trathc is being so rapidly ousted by
motor vehicles is that more islands"
should be placed in the main streets.
