THIS FISH A GREAT WALKER
If His Pond Goes Dry He Simply Am
.. bles Across the Country
.... to Another.

Droughts have no terrors for the
climbing perch. If the pool or river
where he makes his home becomes
dry, he climbs up the banks and
starts across country to find a wet
place. This ability to travel led to
a belief, once common, that the fish
could climb trees, whence he got his
climbing perch.
He walks with the aid of his fins,
virtually wriggling his way along. If
he strikes a place grown up with
grass or herbs, he uses his pectoral
fins, which are the ones on either
side, just behind the gills. He hooks
one of these fins around blade Of
grass and pulls himself forward.
Not much speed, but the climbing
perch usually gets there. AS for his
ability to climb trees, stories have
come from India and the East Indies
to the effect that the fish has been
known to ascend cocOanut palms to
drink the milk from the cocoanut.
Naturalists have little faith in these
stories, however.

Des Misunderstanding to difficulties
which have arisen over details OF the
new mining wage agreement in the
Joint committee of miners and opera
tors, Iowa mine owners fear that there
may be strike in the Iowa coal fields.
Large users of fuel are being notified
to store a. sufficient supply to meet
emergency needs.
One mine operator reported that
a break between the miners and oper-
ators was averted by the president OF
District No. Is. The operators had
determined to call for an adjournment
If the miners would not yield on a
certain point in the machine mining
scale The president took dinner with
the miners representatives, and when
the afternoon session of the commit
tee opened the miners passed over the
point which was about to wreck the
negotiations. However, the point Is
only passed for future discussion.
Among the users of coal notified to
lay in a supply was the state eXecu-
tive council. A meeting was called
to consider the matter. The storage
capacity of the state house heating
plant is small. 1t was determined
that all the coal possible will be stor-
ed. By the time that is used, the Of
ficials say, summer will be about to
begin and the state force can get along
without heat.

HAD FIGUREHEAOS OF BEAUTY
In the Days of Sails, Ships Carried
Some Really Remarkable Speci.
mems of Carving.

An almost forgotten profession is
that of ship carving. For many cen.
turtles, down to the beginning Of the
nineteenth, the characterization OF YES
sells, especially men-of-war, was pro-
fuse, intricate and ford. The carv-
ing on the United States line-of-battle
ship America, launched in 1882 and
presented to France, will give some
idea of the extent to which this was
carried. e.-@.
The figurehead was female figure
crowned with laurel, representing
America. The right arm was raised,
pointing upward. On the left arm was
a buckler with blue ground carrying
10 stars. On the stern of the ship
under the cabin windows appeared two
large figures in bas-relief representing
Tyranny" and Oppression" bound
and bleeding on the ground. On the
back of the starboard quarter was a
large figure Of Mars" On the highest
part of the stern appeared Wisdom,
and above her head an OWL
