Indiana Scientist Brings Back
Strange Fish With Legs.
Dangers of All Kinds Are Braved by
Hoosier In a Three-Year Trip
Through South American
Wifds-TaIes of Hardship.

Bloomington, lnd.-In the midst of
mass of 10000 specimens OF fish life,
now reposing in the preservative of
the Carnegie institute of Pittsburg, is a
specimen of animal life which is total
ly new to present-day scientists, ac-
cording to statement given out here
by DR.. John ID. Haseman, who has
just returned after three-years' trip
through the wilds of South America
in search of hitherto unknown forms
of fish life.
Reticent in the extreme concerning
his discovery. which, it is alleged, is
the greatest in zoology since the days
of Alexander Humboldt, DR.. Haseman
would say only that the new species
is about eighteen inches long, is blind
and has SO segments in it's body.
DR.. Carl H. Eigenmann, head of In
diana geological department, says that
the specimen is neither a fish nor has
1t four legs. 1t is known, however,
that the species has rudimentary legs.
and closely resembles the American
salamander. Only one specimen of
the find" is in the possession of the
institute.
Speaking Of his trip across the wilds
OF the Paraguay river. through the
2,000mile stretch Of the Amazon val
ley and into the unknown regions of
the coastwise rivers of the southern
continent, DR.. Haseman tells almost
stories of hardship and
privation. hunger and disease suffered
along with his handful of native
guides in the pursuit of the various
discoveries in the scientific world.

Reputation for Simplicity Compared

Faith In Silk.

Berlin.-The reputation of the Ger
man woman for simplicity of living
and dressing has caused her to be
compared unfavorably with her sisters
of Paris, New York and London. There
Is general agreement that she has de-
served her reputation, but there is no
less general agreement that of late
years she has changed her standard
of dress and has become more ambi-

A critic who has recently been
studying dress in Berlin still finds
much to be dissatisfied with. The
progress is not inclusive enough.
Women in the upper classes have
vastly improved in their knowledge of
dress and the application of their
knowledge with elegance and taste.
Actresses are now costumed in a
way that makes the German street
scene far more attractive and pleas
ing than it was a dozen years ago.
But there is an enormous number of
women who recognize taste and ele-
gance when they see such qualities in

the King of Rivers" to it's outlet, a
distance of more than 1000 miles.
Most of the long journey was in
boats, some of it was on foot, through
almost impossible jungles. some of
the way was negotiated on log RATS,
and at times, when the rivers were
dry, the native guides had to pull the
boats over hidden rocks.
A close watch had to be kept and
barbados built of the boats them
selves to keep the Indian along the
route from shooting into the party
with poisoned arrows.
AT times the food supply of the
party ran out and they were forced to
shoot monkeys for food. At other
times limited supply of dried fish
formed the only sustenance of the en-
tire party.
The specimen of the fish with
feet" which is the only one of its
sort that scientists have been able
to capture, and which is SO highly
priced that few hints of its true char
acter have leaked out. was captured
in the Rio Negro river, near its juno
ton with the Amazon.
Doctor Haseman is the only other
scientist besides Johann Natterer, a
German naturalist, who undertook a
similar expedition in 1925. who has
made this South American trip. Nat
terer's specimens are now in the
Vienna museum.
