Science outdoss Nature In Raising the
Young Fish.
The brook trout is n nest builder, but
does not belong to the group Of fish
which cares for its eggs and young.
When the function Of egg laying is
completed and the nest covered with
gravel the parent fish seem to feel that
their whole duty has been performed,
and they depart, leaving both eggs and
the young when they are Matched to
the care. Of nature, and nature, 1t must
be confessed, is generally n%eglectful Of
her charge.
EARLY In autumn the mature brook
trout in pairs seek the gravelly bot
toms Of shoals and spring runs. Here
with. nose and fms they hollow out a
shallow basin and make it scrupulously
clean. This is their nest, and over the
bottom the eggs are scattered, covered
with gravel, and their duty to posterity
is ended.
Only a small proportion of the eggs
deposited naturally are fortified. and
many Of these are destroyed by spawn
eating fishes. Most Of the tiny fish
which do develop and succeed in punch
ing a hole through the egg shell with
their little tails and emerging into q

PERFUME OF MUSK.
The odor 10 Psnetratins Because the
Substance 10 Radio active.

The odor 10 P%snetratins Because the
Substance 10 Radio active. -
The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er Of musk perfume is accounted for
by the fact that 1t is radioactive. The
United States consul at Chunking,
China, writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
In a way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio.
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry 1t. If 1t is held
close to the body for any length OF
time it produces sores that are proba-
bly, similar in character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk Is a secretion Of certain glands
or pouches Of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
of the year. 1t is difficult to. obtain
pure, and n Of the largest French
manufacturers Of perfume keeps a rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tbetan border, for the sole purpose OF
buying 1t.
Three thousand pounds Of musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half of this
has passed through Tachienlu, which
is n of the principal musk markets of
the world, though eighteen days jour-
ney from Chunking, the nearest port.
The deer, which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-five inches tall, are being
slaughtered in such numbers that they
are becoming more and more scarce
and will eventually be extinct.

HIGH VELOCITY STARS.
Their Fearful Rate Of Speed In Space

Their Fearful Rate Of Speed In Space
10 Somewhat Puxxlins.
The average velocity Of stars ranges
from about six kibmeters, or between
three and four miles, per second for
young stars to about thirty kilome-
tiers per second for old ones. But
notable exceptions occur. At Mount
Wilson solar observatory Of the Car
pegie institution some stars have been
found to move with velocities Of 141,
$50, 179, 233, 316' and even 1925 kilo-
meters per second, the highest speed
yet known
These high velocity stars are some
times described as runaways because
they seem to be quite beyond the con-
troll Of the g%ravitatonal power Of the
universe. At their speed the attrac-
ton Of the entire known stellar sys-
tenn would be wholly insufficient to
check the stars career through space.
The astronomer, Simon Newcomb,
once calculated that the maximum We
locity attained by a body starting
with velocity e r at an infinite dis.
lance and passing through a stellar
system containing 100,000.0O0 stars
each five times as massive as our sun
and distributed throughout a disklike
spheroid of certain extent cannot ex-
coed 40 kilometers per second. Yet the
star "Groombridge $780, has a speed
nearly nine times this value, and the
massive star Arcturus has a speed
probably four times this value.
II existing %velocities owe their mag.
TEN the quantity Of attracting matter
IN the whole stellar system would
have to be at least eighty times that
