FALL UPWARD TO DEATH.
Strange Fate That Sometimes Visits
Deep Sea Fish

Perhaps the most curious accident
that can befall any of Gods creatures
is the strange death sometimes visit
ed upon deep-sea fish. They seem to
reverse the ordinary law Of gravita-
ton and literally fall upward, just as
land creatures fall downward, unable
to halt their tumble.
The pressure of water in the depths
Of the sea Is tremendous and the
creatures which inhabit those regions
have bodies so constructed that they
can swim at ease in this burdensome
element. Now and then one will by
accident stray above the stratum of
water in which it lives and arrives at
a height where the water pressure is
greatly lighter The gases within
them and their swimming bladders
then expand and they become as
though filled with gas.
For a certain distance their mus
cles can counteract this ballooning
tendency, and it can fight its way
back to safety and comfort. but the
moment the fish gets beyond the
limit and the muscles become inef-
fective 1t becomes helpless and is
borne upward to the surface of the
ocean by the continually expanding
gases.-Chicago Herald.

PRAIRIE FIRE LIT THE SKY
Plenty of Flame and Smoke. But No
| Damage Near Ifshcr. Okla.

The burning of prairie grass near
Fisher, suburb, last night, bril-
liantly illuminated the sky hereabouts
and for a time 1t was feared a dis
astrous oil fire was in progress. AL
though residents Of Fisher said by
long distance phone that there was
plenty of flame and dense smoke. the
only damage being done was to the
grass. 1t is the intention to let the
fire burn itself. unless it goes too
close to buildings or fences.
