Thinds Fish Can See.

1t is doubtful IL fish can distinguish
forms outside the water, but they I'M
questionably can see moving objects
at considerable distance. Their IN

ows thrown on the water by persons
moving along the waterside or by
birds flying over. The proof that they
cannot see the outlines of forms suf'

they will show no more fear OF an
angler standing perfectly still in the

Beavers Under Water.

Many consider it remarkable that
the beaver can remain beneath the
water for so long a period. But he
can remain under the ice much longer.
II has puzzled many to know how
these animals can do this and still
live.
A beaver rises to the under side OF
the fee and there casts a quantity of
its breath up against the crystal COW
ering of the body of water. A wide.
fiat bubble is formed. This is per-
mitted to remain against the cold
ice long enough to become somewhat
purified, when the animal takes 1t
into its lungs once more This
strange operation Is repeated from
time to time. and the creature is
thus enabled to remain beneath the
ice for hours.
The muskrat does about as the
beaver, but cannot remain without
fresh supplies Of pure atmosphere 80

Strong protest is being made In
South Australia against the continual
slaughter Of such rare birds as the Ibis,
the egret, cranes and spoonbills to sup,

slaughter renders South Australia
