FLATFIsHES' EYES.
a Migration Which Takes Place Afsor
the Creatures' Birth.

the creatures' Birth.
Flatfshes keep their white and
blind side on the muddy or sandy
bottom and pretend that the upper
and speckled side is a part of that
bottom. This they do to avoid OBJ
servation, for in spite of their awk-
ward shape they are swallowed at
sight by pertinacious enemies, to
the manifest discomfort Of both. A
greedy cormorant curling up and
attempting to swallow a plaice,
which tries to be-as disobliging as
possible, affords an object lesson
not soon forgotten on the way not
to behave at meal times. But the
bird usually succeeds in its object,
and the fatfsh, in spite of persis-
tent efforts to retain its natural
flatness. at last disappears down the
round, elastic throat of the cormo-
rant. With a view to avoid unpleas-
antnesses of this kind soles are
wont to hide themselves in the sand,
keeping only their eyes above the
surface to act as sentinels.
In reality the dark surface of
sole, plaice or turbot is its side and
not its back. 1t is true that both
eyes are visible. which is not the
case when a mackerel or a conger
is laid on its side, but this is simply
owing to the fact that one eye of
flatfish. has since the creatures birth
passed across what we may call the
bridge of its nose to keep company
with the other eve.
The wandering eye begins its
migration at very early age-so
early, indeed, that it is a little diff
fcult to detect it on its journey. A
plaice a fifth Of an inch in length
and five days old carries one eye on
each side of its nose. When three
fifths of an inch long and about two
months old the left eye has crossed
over to the ri0ht side. Lemon soles
when one inch long or two months
old have the left eve on the edge of
the head, but when double that size
and six months old both eyes are
found on the right side. A sole as
sumes its lopsided aspect by the
time it has been hatched two
months. When turbot is half an
inch in length the right eye just be-
gins to peep over the center arch of
the bridge, at three-quarters of an
inch it is half way across, and at an
finch the passage is complete and

results when judiciously used Oats
and timothy hay is considered a stand
ard feed for working horses.
Timothy is not very palatable.
Horses are not likely to gorge them
selves with it, aud oats, having a large,
coarse hulls, are bulky, aud as result
they become more thoroughly mixed
with saliva during the process of mas
ticatioR, and when they enter the stom-
ach are more readily acted upon by the
digestive juices. Because Of this fact
horse is less subject to deranged di-
gestion and collie caused by careless or
improper feeding.

this the horses should have In plenti-

A STRANGE LAKE.
The Pesuliarities Of a eody Of wessr
In Australia.

ine FeeulaFttlc5 OF Ecdv OF water
In Australia.
Lake George is situated about
four miles from the railway station
at Bungendore, Australia. and has
for many years engaged the atten-
tion of scientific men by reason of
the singular and inexplicable phe-
nomena connected with it. The es-
Inmates Of its size vary considerably
according to circumstances, but
when moderately full about 20 by Z
miles will be found tolerably cor
rect. At either end the land is
fully 100 feet above the highest
recorded surface of the lake. which
possesses no known outlet, although
it is fed by numerous mountain
creeks.
The lake was discovered by
bushman in 1920 and was known to
the blacks as the ''big water" 1t
was then supposed to form the
source of a river having its mouth
on the south coast, but subsequent
visitors were much perplexed at the
manner in which the blacks avoided
the lake, of which they appeared to
entertain a superstitious dread, one
aged aboriginal stating she had seen
lit all covered with trees, another
explaining that the whole of the
water sank through the bottom and
disappeared, while others remem-
bered the lake only as a series Of
small ponds.
During the following twenty
years considerable variations were
noted in the depth and extent of
the lake. In 1911 the lake became
partially dried up, the moist por-
tions being simply grassy swamps.
A few months later large numbers
of sheep were pastured in the bed
of the lake. but fresh water had to
be carted for the use Of the shep-
herds, that of the lake being too
salt for human consumption. The
place remained more or less dry
until 1852, the year of the great
floods in that part of the colony,
when it again became filled, with
an average depth of nine feet.
Since then the surface level of the
lake has varied considerably, but
the bed has never been so dry as in
former years. There are indica-
tions that many hundreds of years
ago the lake covered a far larger
area than any vet recorded. remains
of trees over 100 years old being
found in spots formerly under
water. The saline character of the
lake is the more remarkable by rea-
son of its being fed by pure and
sparkling fresh water streams.-St.

to get a horse accustomed to consum

hay may be given each day to replace

exercise, as increased feeding without

almost as essential as the feed
The old coat of hair should be shed
quickly as possible after cold weather
has passed. and this can be hastened
by stabling the animal at night with a
good dry bed upon which to sleep and
grooming, blanketing and feeding a
small amount Of oilmeal each day.
If the long hair is allowed to remain
the horse will perspre freely when at
work which is exhadsting, and he is

Some farmers resort to clipping their
horses. which is better than leaving
the long hair on. but clipping is not de-
sirable as the natural means Of remov-
ing it. Grooming should not be neg
lected in either case. since the excreto-
ry glands should be kept open.

The kir In 4 Room.

Given a medium sized sitting
room with four people and two gas
jets, the air must be chan red every
fifty minutes to keep it pure As
air is heated it expands and becomes
lighter per cubic foot. If all the
air is heated equally it remains at
rest after expansion, but if hot air
is in the presence of cold air the
latter, by reason of its heayiness,
forces its wav down and drives the
hot air up. The moving force of
air currents is the greater weight
of the colder air. This, then, is the
force by which we are to drive out
foul air and put pure air in its place.
Pure external air will always drive
out foul air if you give it a chance.
