taught how to use II. as is the policy in
fered the girls for good work along diff
ferent lines, and proficiency badges
awarded those who excel in the domestic
arts. They are also instructed in Red
Cross work. and what to do in emer-
gencies. All of the scout leaders have
passed the Red Cross examination. The
underlying object in the whole organiza-
ton is to turn out not only stronger and
better women but more useful women.
The girls are divided into patrols of
eight each, under the leadership Of
guide captain, chosen from their own
ranks, and an older girl, who Is leader
and instructor in one. Every patrol bears
the name of some flower, and each has
its own colors. The patrols meet once
a week. spending one hour indoors and
one hour out Of doors. The hour spent
in the classes Is devoted TO work for
the proficiency tests by which the girls
are promoted from third to second and
first class scouts. Out doors they are
taught to conserve health and care for
their bodies.
The work has been taken up by some
Of the most prominent women and
young girls in Savannah and the South.
A good deal of interest in the move
ment has been exhibited in several
States. Miss Johnston Is in receipt of
hundreds of letters of inquiry from
women's organizations all over the
country asking for literature and other
information relative to the scope and
extent Of the movement. The hand
book Of the scouts Is now ready for
distribution. as well as the badges and
other insignia OF the order. The uni
form of the scouts is blue, and they
have their signs and passwords and
salutes the same as the Boy Scouts.
They wigwag like soldiers in the field
and signal each other with blankets and
sticks. Their code of personal conduct
is laid down for them. They are taught
purity. integrity, honesty: to be kind
to animals and to old people; to be gen.
tie and chivalrous with each other: they
are taught to cook. to sew. to wash and
to iron. to care for the injured. and to
act in emergencies, and are encouraged
to take an active interest in all ath-
letic games.
The Girl Scouts and the Boy Scouts
organizations are built upon similar
lines. the former being modelled upon
the latter. the ritual of the boys being
modified only sufficiently to meet the
requirements of girls and to suit the
conditions of American life. Mrs Low
expects the movement to extend rapidly
in this country. and to become as popu-
lar among the girls of America as its
sister organization is among the young
women of ETDland and Scotland Active
work to bring this result about is to be-
gin in October.

FISH WITH NO MOUTH.

From the New York American.
III you have ever visited a side-show-
circus or museum. you cannot have failed
10 see armiess wonders" who write with
their toes; elastic skin men who stretch
their hides for six to twelve inches: tat
toco women who have the whole Dooms-
day Book linked into their flesh; fat men.
bewhiskered women, and even living
skeletons. Even men who swallow rem
tiles, frogs, fish and whole aquaria are
known.
But none Of these marvels are in any
way as strange as the species of fish M
the carp family just brought to the
knowledge of biologists by Prof. ]. w.
Fehlmann, master of arts and naturalist.
Of London, England.
Prof.> Fehlmann himself was astonisbed
a1 nhoing these carp, experienced collect
or that he is. These strange fish can live
and thrive without any mouth whatso-
ever. They are in this respect like a
Pullman car without an entrance at either
END. For four years these earn lived
dlgested and grew in a normal fashion
There was neither an entrance or an cyl,
Tor food. The fish was exactly the same
as closed pipe as far as was evident
from without.
When. however, Dr. Fehlmann dissect-
ed the carp described. the stomach and
digestive canal was found to be literally
swarming with the usual victuals of the
piscian tribe. There We're numerous NAV
flies, larval. grubs, plants, little crusta-
ceans and similar aliment of fish in the
food canal.
This explained how the moutbIess
creature fiourished. Not only were they
able to breathe through their gill-clefts.
out they were also able to both drink and
eat by means Of these respiratory OPEN
ings. Although the carp lived in good
heaitn tour years, there was not the
slightest signs of adipose tissue 10 he
found in the body.
Prof. Fehlmann is not convinced that
there is true species of mouthless fish.
but he is determined to find out, IL DOS
sible. whether these freak fish can be
developed.

Savannah Woman Launches
Movement Similar to that
So Popular with the Boys
Of United States and Eng
land Suggested by Brit
ish Originator.

Savannah. Ca, Aug. 16.-with the es-
tablishment Of national headquarters in
Washington for the introduction of the
propaganda of the organization into all
the States Of the Union. the Girl Scouts,
movement that had its inception in
Savannah a little more than a year ago,
when Mrs. William Low. the originator
OF the movement. established here the
first organized patrol. and which Is des-
tined to be to the girls of the land what
the Boy Scout Movement is to the lads
Of this country and Europe, is about to
be launched upon a career that bids
fair to he as. successful with the FEM
mime half of the younger generation as
Its counterpart is among their brothers.
Mrs. Low. who Is native of Savan-
nah and n resident of England, into
which country she married, received the
suggestion for the Girl Scouts from
Miss Agnes Baden-Powell. who, knowing
her enthusiasm for all things looking to
race betterment, besought her to or
ganize in this country among the girls
an auxiliary to the Boy Scouts along
lines similar to an organization OF the
same kind which she had perfected
among the girls Of England at the in
stigation of her brother. Robert Baden
Powell the originator of the Boy Scout
movement. The organization was orig
inally known as the Girl Guides. but
the name was changed in order that the
movement might the more readily be
identified with the Boy Scouts.
Modelled along the same line as the
Boy Scouts. the organization among the
girls Is intended TO accomplish much
the same purpose. The rules are similar
insofar as it is possible for girls to
conform to them, and the same loftx
ideals that mark the Boy Scouts move
ment are to be found also in the girls
organization. with the same general Oh
ject in view-that Of teaching duty and
character to the young girls of the coun-
try, the beauty and necessity for cour-
tesy and tindness at all times and
under all circumstances. as well as af-
fording them practical instruction in the
domestic arts and sciences.
Having seen for herself the benefits
derived from the organization in Eng
land and Scotland, Mrs. Low took
kindly to the idea of introducing some
thing along similar lines in this country.
She naturally sought among the chill
dren OF her own childhood friends for the
nucleus around which to build her or
yanization. She met with warm and
hearty support among the children OF
Savannah. where there are now eight
patrols, numbering something over 100
girls, with still others in course OF
formation. From this beginning the

that no other brand of policeman seems

heighten the romance OF old sunny Spain.

The Spanish policeman Is not too well
paid. He sports not an ambassadorial

the rate of exchange, amounts to about

effective guardian of law and order.
He Is shabby in uniform. But that Is
not his fault. It is the fault of a frugal
government. In appearance he looks
something like an English postman and
an impoverished Spanish officer. But
there is artistry about his shabbiness. He
fits into the picture.
Very often, especially IN Andalusia. he
Is old and rather infirm. One is often
sorry for him as he humps along with
his sword trundling behind him. But he
has the wisdom that goes with age II

eye, and allows 1t to simmer down-a very
