sALMOA'S NEED FOR OXYGEN
French Scientist Believes He Has Dis
covered Reason for Peculiarities
Of Valuable Fish.

At a meeting of the French Acad-
envy of Science recently an interesting
communication was made on the re-
suit of the observations of Professor
Roule on the migration of salmon to
fresh water.
The observations covered the rivers
entering the sea on the Breton coast,
and it was found that the proportion
Of oxygen dissolved in fresh water was
the principal factor determining the
ascent of the salmon. Like all fish
of their family, the salmon have an
intense need Of breathing, and this
increases in the reproductive period
Consequently they only enter rivers
whose waters are able to satisfy this
need by the quantity of oxygen held in
solution It is in the search for this
water that leads them up the rivers,
even where distractions make it nee
essary to leap in their characteristic
way.
Besides the scientific interest, Pro-
fessor Routes observations, if they
could but be proved, would possess
great practical value, as they would
enable one Immediately to discern
which rivers were worth an attempt
to introduce lmon by purifying the
water, providing ladders, ETC., and
which were the rivers in which such
labors would be certain to be vain.

FARM SCIENTIFICALLY.

A scheme that tends to put farming
on a scientific basis in Frederick coun-
ty, and runs hand in hand with econ
omy and efficiency developed yester-
day afternoon at a conference in the
offices of Superintendent of Schools
of Frederick county. The idea briefly
is to establish at the Boys High
School an agricultural course of ten
weeks, beginning January 1, 1915.
The following committee has
charge of the plans for the course;
G. Lloyd Palmer, chairman; Spencer
Stull, secretary; Sidney Stabler and
Anon Burgee, of Frederick, and W
r. Gray, of Middletown. E. A. Mill
Ter, of the United States Agricultur-
al Department, attended the meeting
yesterday.
This course is being prepared for
the benefit of the three hundred or
more students of the seventh grades
of the county, who annually stop their
school career on the verge of the High
School. Each year this number of
Frederick county boys, a large per
cent of which will in the future be
farmers. leave school without having
received any special training in ag-
riculture. This course has been
drafted strictly for the benefit of
these students. Any boy who has
graduated from the seventh grade is
eligible to this class.
The course as tentatively outlin-
ed yesterday afternoon follows:
English-Consisting of spelling,
plain practical grammar, letter writ
ing, reading and literary work.
Farm counting-Practical arith-
metic and farm bookkeeping.
Manual Training -Mechanical draw
ing, plans for buildings of the farm,
reading of drawing, concrete work
and care of farm machinery.
Agriculture-Soil and fertilizer,
farm crops, farm, management, hor-
tieulture and general review.
The faculty at the Boys High
School will have charge of this course

HOUSE WILL NOT
INVESTIGATE STRIKE

WASHINGTON. Jan 1.-THE ma
Jority members OF the house committee
on rules today held that the strikes In
the Michigan copper district. and the
Colorado coal fields have no federal
angle which warrants investigation by
congress and therefore, voted against
a congressional investigation.
On Tuesday the full committee will
meet. and vote will be cast against
all the pending resolutions OF invest-
cation. Representative Foster, OF
Illinois, who Is chairman Of the house
committee on mines and mining. voted
for an Investigation.
This action by the Democrats fol-
lowed their determination that they
would promote no further investiga-
tons. The committee has been
swamped with petitions for investiga-
lions. including pleas from federal Of
flee holders In Colorado, and rep
resentative from the executive com
mittee OF the SOCIALIST party. detailing
alleged outrages In Michigan. The
Socialists blame Michigan's State ex-
eeutive for failure to stop the troubles
at Calumet
The Socialist strike probe report as
serted that there had BEEN unnecessary
loss Of life in the Calumet strike be-
cause OF the "overbearing attitude OF
the mining companies"
Representative Macdonald, of Mich
igan, answered charges of misstate-
ment OF facts, made by his opponents
with a statement that men who had
brought these claims were actuated by
fear of the investigation itself.
Refusal by the house to institute an
investigation put the matter squarely
before the senate. A senatorial in
vestigation Ii regarded as not unlikely.

SILENT ON SUBJECT
MUTUAL AGREEMENT
BRYAN HAS NOTHING TO SAY OF
REPORTED HOLLAND sUG-
GESTTON.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.--Secretary
OF State Bryan today labeled the re-
ports from Berlin that the Dutch gov
vernment is sounding the powers as to
the possibility OF reaching a mutual
understanding in regard to their In
terests In the Far East, as q subject
he was unwilling to discuss.
Mr.. Bryan declined to say whether
the matter had been brought to the
attention of the United States or not.
Inquiry In other quarters usually
Iauthoritatively Informed brought no
confirmation OF the reports OF these
tentative discussions 1t IL said that
II the matter had been preached to the
United States 1t must have been In the
dication that anything has yet been
committed to paper in this cohnec-
ton.
The reports from Berlin occasioned
no surprise In 50 far as they related
to the desire OF the Netherlands gov
eminent to see some arrangement
made, which will relieve her Of a GER
tain degree Of anxiety regar ding her
possessions In the Far East. The
keen interest OF Jonkheer Loudon
former minister TO the United States
this subject, Is familiar to officials
here. He eviaced an unusual interest
In everything the United States did In
the Philippines, and China during his
residence here as minister, and always
underworld to keep In touch with the
activities Of the Washington admins
tration Affecting any situation in the
Far East.
There is no expectation In well-in-
formed quarters here, however, that
Holland will succeed in achieving her
desire to bring about an entente
among the powers interested in the
Far East. =
II liz assumed here that the Neither
lands Is worried about the Japanese
advance In the Far East. This fact
would, II Is believed, make II I'M
likely that Japan would find 1t con-
venient to agree to any understanding
which Holland might suggest.

put through the proposed constitu-

of prosperous, even booming, trade.
1t may be somewhat early in the

1914, but careful investigation by your
correspondent In the last few days go
to show that in the opinion of the big
men, and concerns 1914 should at
