of appreciation of the grave contin-
gen. les involved In the uncertainty with
which Wall Street has had TO contend
lately. differences from stock market
phenomena would have to be qualified
accordingly. ON the contrary. the pos
sibilities of the situation seem to have
been pretty well understood, and Ia"

To optimistic deductions. The least
significant of these is that the technl-

These extracts from Judge Gary's re-

thinking to-day. There are no more
forward looking men anywhere In the

International crisis, many Of our ablest
men Of affairs were meeting In Wash

under the auspices of our Government
with he representatives Of government,

American republics to plan for a future
of increased economic activities between
the three Americas.

represents is number of fishes which are !"
nature scattered over a vast area and through
great height of water. here brought together tor
museum nurposes into few square feet of space
Each fish is reproduced accurately with its pnos
phorescent pores and tentaces as these are
known to exist. With one or two exceptions
they are enlarged several times. as the hsnes
themselves are very small. And since 1t IS known
that the phosphorescent organs do not glow
with steady light, the illumination of the group
has been arranged so as to have these luminous
organs flash internationally. Furthermore. the
installation is arranged so that one may view
the fishes for few seconds In full light, as II
in synoptc exhibit and then see them, when
the light goes out. they are supposed II appear
in the darkness of the profound depths. lit up
only by their own phosphorlscent organs
Near the top Of the group is seen hsh witch

dimness and total darkness. Many of the fishes
living in this region not of a uniform somber
hue but are brilliantly colored Neoscopelus is

are known. The generic lame 1t bears was given
it In allusion to the fact that the eyes are
perched on long slender tentacles. The species
ranges from depth of little less than mile
to two and one-half miles. Another form with
tentacles is Gigantactis yanhoeffeni. species
typical of many deepsea fishes which have
tentacle, terminating in a luminous organ, at.
tached to the head. This tentacle serves as
lure for attracting prey. The present species
is known by only two specimens which were
found in. the Indian ocean at mile and a mile
and half from the surface. The creature is a
very small fish, the model being enlarged six
times.
