WHY SALMON SEEK RIVERS
French Professor Says Because
There Is More Oxygen There.
[By Gable TO The Tribune.


Paris. May 16.--Louis Roule, a pro-
lessor Of the Paris Natural History Mu-
scum, claims to have solved the important
biological problem as to why several
species OF FISH. such as salmon, migrate
10 rivers at certain seasons of the year.
1t had been thought previously that sal
mon. instInctively driven near their breed
ing season. seek conditions most favorable
for the survival OF their young. but Pro-
lessor Roule affirms after a study OF the
Brittany rivers that the amount OF oxygen
in the water is the determining factor In
their migrations. In the rivers where the
most oxygen is present in the water VIII
be found the greatest number Of fish.
Professor Roule explains the necessity
of breathing larger amount among mi
grating than in the cases OF other FISH,
and this being interfered with greatly dur
ing the breeding season they therefore
are impelled to seek waters with the
greatest amount Of oxygen. Thus, en-
plains Professor Roule, all efforts TO stock
rivers with migrating fish will be useless
II the water is not highly oxygenated.

Some Unlikely Suggestions.

Regarding this statement it seems Curl
Gus that the Cardinal should destroy the
second will before making a third, and
did not destroy the first before or after he
had made the second or that he did not
write the third will before he destroyed
the second Whether it was known by
the relatives that the first VIII was In
existence is not known. But it is TO be
remarked that even if the first will had
been destroyed the heir AT law would be
the Baroness Perrana, Rampolla's sister,
and the estates would. according TO Italian
law, be administered by her husband.
It is generally believed in clerical cir
cles that the influence of the Free
Masons was largely used to secure the
release of Caretti, though he is only out
on provisional liberty. Whether he will
be prosecuted depends on the good will OF
Baron Perrana, the successor through his
wife, to the estates.
The Roman world is still wondering
what further scandals will come forth
as n result OF the sudden death of Ram
pola. 1t seems established, however, be-
yond doubt that the dead Cardinal was
not in his later years the bitter in
Iranslgeant OF his years as Secretary OF
State. and that though he may not have
highly approved of modernism at the
same time he was not divided from the
modernists by that wide gulf which was
generally supposed to exist There are
some who even say that had he been
elected Pope as Leo XIV he would have
found a way to make terms with the
Italian government.
