WHAT SALT MEANS TO A FISH
(From La Nature Paris)

When the crawfish is put into sea water, or into water artificially salted, it dies. Inversely, if we put into fresh water an essentially ma rine creature like a jelly fish, it gives up it's life as quickly.
 The cause of these sudden deaths has been attributed to poisoning by salt; but we now know that this is incorrect. The salt acts chiefly by it's "osmotic" power.
 When a fresh water creature is suddenly plunged into sea water, the latter attracts, as it were, the creatures interior liquids, and "dries it up,' "a frog loses thus one-fourth (of it's weight), especially in the places where the skin is thin and the organs delicate, as with the lungs. These shrivel up and fail to act, and there is rapid death from asphyxia.
 Likewise, when a marine creature, saturated with salt, is plunged '--.. fresh water, it swells rapidly espec-
 'lv at certain points, notably the lungs, and cannot maintain life.
 On the seashore, however, it is not unusual to see crabs living as we'll in brackish water as in sea water, sometimes even reaching fresh water and living a calm but normal life in ponds. Also flat fish may be found often in rivers; they have been caught in the Loire and even in the Allief 800 miles from salt water.
 In the course of an animals life qualifications occur in its organism hat enables it to be more or less resistant. It is thus that the salmon can leave salt water to spawn in fresh water streams, and that cells leave the latter to deposit their eggs in the sea.
 Fish, in passing from salt to fresh water, or vice versa, adapt them selves little by little to the new medium by passage through estuar- ies where the degree of salt is in- termediate. Experimentally the con- ditions may be reproduced by in- creasing or diminishing the saltness; the trick is to proceed slowly and progressively. For instance, gold fish may become accustomed to live in salt water. which explains their occurrence even in the Baltic and Caspain.
 These adaptations may take place in the same individual. or, better still in it's descendants. It is an al- most general fact that the progeny of a creature resists a new environ ment better than the parents. Thus, if we salt progressively fresh water containing darhniidae, these small crustaceans will finally die, but if we wait a few days the eggs will hatch and the young will thrive as if nothing had happened.

BAD BOYS

(From the Kansas City Star)
 Amt most bad boys really good at heart, after all?
 This paper had story last week about 19,648 young men who had been trained in the reformatories and industrial schools for bad boys in England who had shown the he roic spirit in the war. Many had been killed in action many more wounded, many had been honored in different ways, with the Victoria Cross, distinguished conduct morals, decorations and so on, and in the entire number there was not a cow ard nor shirker of his duty. Every man of them had qualified for the roll of honor.
 And yet each one of those nearly 10000 men had been arrested, pros ecuted, convicted, sentenced and had served his time as bad boy in reformatory.
 No one who knows what re- formatories" are will pretend that they had much to do with reforming the boys. The more plausible thing fo believe is that the boys were not very bad to begin with. Their energies had been misdirected, and when the onportunity came to do something worthy they rose to it.
 The worst attitude that can be as- surned toward wavward boy is one of nagging and bounding and of persecution. Re natient with him. Search his heart for qualities of goodness and vou1l find them. They are there, always.

The sweet charm Of youth is most
fittingly expressed in this pretty
dance frock of dotted swiss. 1t makes
no pretense to cleverness or original

might be copied with good effect in
taffeta, silk, muslin, point d'esprit,

spiration, embodying. points that we
like to emphasize in the party frocks
for young girls.

contrasting in color. A pretty model
has a foundation skirt of white net
finished at the bottom with a scant
ruffle of white net bound with narrow
white satin ribbon. Above this is
fiounce of light blue bound with blue
ribbon. A fiounce of pink overlaps
the blue, and one of pale yellow fin
ises the series. Three groups of
flounces, with the colors arranged In
this order, cover the skirt, and the
waist employs the colored nets as
drapery over the white net in an un-
derbodice.
Another model in colored nets has q
short and widely faring skirt in
| which rose color and black and tan
tulle are used with white. The diff
ferent colors are set about the waist
and extend to the bottom of the skirt
in godets, with colors alternating. The
bodice is dnaped, and a wide girdle 'of
rich brocaded ribbon completes the
design. It's colors carry out the won
derful color scheme in the gown.
Besides the use of several colorssin

have achieved some lovely fiowerlike
effects by uniting three shades of one
color in silk gowns. A coral-colored
taffeta has full short skirt with wide
.ruchings at the bottom in two deeper
shades of coral. Ribbons figure con-

Designed to adorn the corsage of the
afternoon or evening gown, to nestle
in the closeefitting fur neckpiece or to
add final touch of elegance and col
or to the muff, the corsage bou-
quet is blooming in the sunlight of
increasing flavor. In truth, it is clev-
erer than ever, but rarely deserves the
name of a bouquet. Single flowers, or
a flower and bud, made of ribbon or
velvet set in millinery foliage. or large
millinery flowers with ribbon in the
same color as their foliage tied about
the stems, make up the big majority
of these exquisite accessories.
The dark colors that are favored
this season, and the furore for furs,
make it possible for the corsage flow
er to appear at it's best. In street
and visiting toilettes they form ex-
actly the right background for it.
And the corsage bouquet is as much
at home with evening dress as nat

Mentioned almost daily in the war

gained considerable prominence Of
late.
Besides being the center of impor-

interest because of its historic asso-

Trieste, not far from the Adriatic. Go

The town has been an Austrian pos

marked by the 14-station way of the

Below spreads the town, with the
ancient chateau of the counts of Go

one can trace the capricious course of
the Isonzo river, the bed of which is

In the distance lies the Carso lime
stone plateau, sheltering the magnifi-

house of Hohenlowe, and Miramar
which used to be the favorite resi-
dence of Archduke Macmillan, later
emperor of Mexico.
The horizon is bounded by Trieste

In the little chapel of st. Louis, in
the right wing of the Franciscan
church, the bodies of King Charles X
of France, the duke and duchess dan
gouleme and the duchess of Parma

throughout the Caucasus, and as far
as England in the West. All that re-
main of it's population are an aged
Armenian monk, the directort of el-
cavations and the pleasant host to
stray antiquarians and other tourists
to places out of the way, and a few
Armenian peasants.
The ancient capital was built upon
promontory, out by the Arpa Chat
and small tributary stream. Across
the third side it's founders had cut a
ditch, making their city floor a raised
platform, which gave it great advan-
tages for defense in the days before
cannon could hurl their destruction
from the neighboring heights. Ami
was a strong fortress in its heyday,
and it's powerful walls. with their
many towers, are still standing, strung
around the plain. The walls have
largely decayed. however, through the
centuries in which the city has lain
squiet and unpeopled.
Back of the walls lie the remains
of churches, palaces and public places
without number, some just the heavy
groundwork, suggesting the oldtime
structure, while other buildings sur
vive in high, ragged masonry. The
cathedral stands unbroken. solitary,
weather-torn edifice.
