 Washington, April 12.-A scathing srralgnment of J. Bruce Ismay, the managing director. and other officials of the White Star line, for the Titanic disaster, was delivered in the senate today by Senator Rayner of Mary land. He pictured Ismay as the of- ficer primary responsible for the whole disaster, who has reached his des1na- ton fin safety and unharmed"

 Senator Rayner pointed out that while no civil or criminal remedies were available in the American courts, criminal and civil suits could ba brought in the British oourta, and q eengresssonal committee would have absolute authority to subpoena every one connected with the disaster, and if anyone refused to answer questions he could be indicted and imprisoned for contempt.

HOW TO TELL AGE OF FISH

Until within recent years there had
been ascertained no trustworthy way
of finding out the age of fish. 1t has
been shown that mere size does not
indicate the age. Reibisch, Heincke
and others have discovered that many
of the bones, scales and otoliths OF
fishes have annual age rings. re-
sembIing those in tree trunks, and by
means of these Professor Wallace and
others have now determined the rate
OF growth OF plaice, showing that
some specimens attain the age OF
twenty-five, or even as much as tWen-
ty-nine years. Age can now be cor
related with size and weight, although
1t appears that the sexes have differ
ent rate Of growth.
