These investigations resulted in such
widespread movement to save fish that 1t
has within the past few months become
national In it's scope. Uncle Sam, through
his expert fish doctors in the bureau of
fisheries, has consequently made further
inquiries that have extended to all inland
streams and lakes and he thereby saved
many fish lives from needless deaths. He
has also revealed the fact that ,there are
several causes of death which can be
prevented and that very often fish exhibit
peculiarities that bring them close to the
human being in their actions
What the bureau does along this line is
to. work in cooperation with the state
fish commissions. If the men on those
commissions face intricate problems in
their work they submit samples of
water to the bureau and the bureau
analyses them. And they go a step far
Their, because analysis may not even solve
the problem Down at the bureau they
have what is known as poison squad,
and through this group of extremely
healthy members of the finny tribe they
plant the cause and watch the effect
Then the bureau goes into the field to
create the remedy.
From the observations which have thus
far been made the bureau has developed
the fact that there are certain parts in
each stream along whose banks are To-
Gated factories giving. out poisonous mat
ter which age absolutely stunned by fish.
while there are other parts which are
thickly populated. In other words, the
absence of fish in, any part of a stream
indicates danger zone that is usually
well marked.
But. according to the results of the
bureaus studies. fish are like human be-
ings in many. respects and especially in

relation to poisonous substances. While
in most cases the fish, being so suscep-
tible to poison, shun certain parts of
streams where 1t exists. there are some
instances where it's effects are such as to
iiken it's action on them to the dope
that has entrapped SO many human be-
mss. They are unconscious of it's e.
fects and do not realize the fact that
they have been absorbing slow poison
until 1T is too late. This is perhaps the
secret of SO many fish deaths in the
neighbOrhood of certain factories.
Another peculiar condition that the
bureau has brought to light is that fac
tories giving off poisonous matter can
exist without fatal effects to fish. In
one instance along a stream in Oregon it
was discovered that two factories stu
ated at points nearly opposite each other
gave off an acid and an alkali. and the
waters Whereabouts We've absolutely harm
less to fish because the two substances
neutralized each other. Fish taken from
that stream showed that they lived to e
good healthy age.
Similar conditions were found to exist
in another stream in Pennsylvania, but
the. causes were produced by nature
These waters flowed through the coal
mining sections and the acids developed
from the refuse from the mines produced
enough poison to kill enormous quantities
of fish. But along the course OF the
stream We're great deposits of limestone,
and as the poisoned waters flowed by
these sections the lime solution resulting
therefrom neutralized the acids and prac-
tically purified the water.
Almost the reverse of this condition eN-
lists in some parts of the Schuylililf7 river.

quantities as to be fatal to fish Farther
below these deposits, however. there are
several tanning factories. the refuse
from which counteracts the effects of
the heavy solution of lime water.
Perhaps rhe most peculiar physical con-
diton found to exist among fish is that
cases of genuine appendicitis frequently
occur, and prove fatal because of lack OF

where water power can. be used. Inc re-
suit is that, in their active operations
the mills give off ton after ton of fine
sawdust which floats out upon the wa
tiers and down with the tide. Some of the
particles of sawdust become water
soaked, and sink short distance below
the surface of the water.
When the fish go on the hunt for food
these particles appear like tempting NOR
sels and they are rapidly devoured. Like

One of the bureaus investigations mas
been based upon the fact that fish could
live in certain lakes and grow fat and
healthy while in others, with apparently
good, clean water. they gradually died
at certain seasons of the year. The his
tory of some lakes showed that for a
few years there would be plenty of fish,
while for corresponding number OF
years there would be. none at all. 1t
looked like occasional epidemics. but al
though the bureau searched for THE
cause it could find nothing. But 1t was
found that the fish nearly always died
of suffocation and Immediately after long
hot periods when there was little or no
wind. 1t meant that with the heat and
the absence of wind. permitting an abso-
lutely fiat and solid water surface, the
oxygen had practically become boiled
out of the water and the fish smothered
Just as would person in room out of
which the air had been pumped.
Just the opposite from this condition.
there are cases where fish can receive
too much air and experience the same
effects as would human beings who go
for the first time far below the surface
Of the earth. Fish in extremely aerated
water will gradually breathe in too much
air. and the effect swells their veins and
causes their eyes to pop out. In some
extreme cases their bodies become like
balloons. a condition from which few. II
any, ever recover.

Huerta is to be upheld for all the acts
Of his administration. His elevation
to the presidency likewise is to be
shown TO have beet entirely legal.
This will be done through an opin-
ion that is being prepared by the
judges of the supreme court.
Several of the judges have been en-
gagged for days, searching the records
for prccedcnts and applying them to
the acts OF the executive. This has
engaged their attention to the total
exclusion of all other affairs of the
courts in their jurisdiction. It is eN-
pected that the opinion will be rem
dered by Judge Demetrio sod and
probably concurred in by one or two
other members OF the supreme bench.
The opinion, it is said will deal
chiefly with the subject of the disso-
luton OF congress and doubtless will
show that the act was fully justified
by the alleged reasonable conduct of
the deputies
