BROOK FISH.
Why They Do Not Get Carried Away
Out Into Deep Waters.

Out Into Deep Waters
II you watch school OF minnows In.

always head upstream. The reason
Is plain. only by constantly swim

empties into river, and the river
empties into the ocean. But we can
not suppose that the brook fish knows
that this will happen IL IL weakly al

Young mInnow is born with the In
stinct 10 resist the iow OF the brook.
The most natural supposition would
be that the instinct amounts to ten
dency TO push against the pressure
OF the water. but experiments havo
shown that Il Is not the sense OK
touch. but the sense OF sight that
plays the important part The instinct
OF the brook fish Is not TO swim against
the current. but to keep near the same
"scenery" on the banks or bottom or
the stream.
The experiments that proved this
were performed some years ago by
Professor f. p. Lyon. He put some
little Hsh into a bottle filed with wa
ter and corked the bottle, which he
then placed in an aquarium. whose
sides had seaweed upon them. When,
he moved the bottle along by the wall
all the fsh crowded TO the hinder end
Of the bottle. OF course there was no.
current in the bottle. The fish were
trying to keep alongside that part or
the seaweed covered wall that was op-
posite them before the bottle was
moved.
In another experiment the professor
reversed the conditions. He made a
wooden box with wire netting at each
end. Its bottom he covered with sand
and its inner sides with seaweed. Then
be put the fish into this box and plac-
ell II in n stream. AS long as the box
was kept still the fish headed against
the current, but as soon as the box
was allowed to toat away In the
stream the fish inside 1t swan In any
direction. While the box was still the
fish, unless they made head against
the stream. were carried along past
their landmarks on the sides and bot
tom OF the box. But when the box
6oated along with them they carried
their landmarks with them. and so,
they made no opposition to being
swept along by the stream.-Youth'sA

ARMY AYTATORS
DO LITTLE FLYING
Records Show Captain Cowan in Air
Seventy Three Minutes in
About Twenty Months.
PATTERsoN's FLIGHTS RARE

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 15.-
Captain Arthur S. Cowan, command
ing the army aviation school at San
Diego, Cal, was not in an army aero
plane from December 21, fS14,vto
April "a, 1915, at which time charges
o1 Incompetence and favoritism were
preferred against him, according to
army records made public here today.
From July 10, 1913, to the date Of
the charges he was in the air seventy
three minutes, tut in the four months
following the filing OF the charges he
spent fifteen hours and seventeen
n inutes as q passenger and two hours
and thirty-five minutes as a pilot in
an army machine.
Lieutenant William Lay Patterson spent
fifty-four minutes in the air as a pas
senger before he began to draw aviators
pay. the records show, and made his first
flight as a pilot less than a month ago
and more than a year after he began
drawing aviator's pay.
The court-martial of Lieutenant Colonel
Louis e. Goodier, judge advocate OF the
western department OF the army, brought
out these statistics. Colonel Goodier is
charged with having improperly advised
Junior officers at the school to prefer
charges against Captain Cowan. His de-
fense is that he furnished only such infor-
nation as would be expected from one
In his position, but The case has developed
into an airing OF the general situation at
San Diego, where eight iieutenants have
been killed since April /, 1918. Whether
or not an officer Is entitled TO aviators
pay when he is not regularly flying is a
point.
The charges filed against Captain
Cowan were not pressed.
