the Santa Ynez river, to reach the up

to be exhausting their strength and

The city has reared a wall over ten
feet above the bed of the stream, over
which the water is flowing On the top
of the wall Is slight shelving where
the fish. seeking to make the long leap,
land. and they are carried by the flow
back down the stream again.
Engineer Pyzel. who is in charge
OF the city's reservoir works, reports
he has watched dozens OF big salmon

that all will eventually die. When
the impounding wall was built the
city did not provide for a fish ladder.

was gnawed. The matches were well
seasoned and Of different varieties
from the strike-on-the-bo box to the

conducted In a cage measuring more
than six feet square. The results
were the same.
In all cases the rats were without
matches were introduced and the rats
died from starvation within one to i've
days after. Like experiments were
conducted with mice and the same ~
suits obtained, the mice being hungry
from two to three days. then the
matches were introduced and death
followed In one to five days. In the
larger cages the rats we're fed for
periods varying from twenty to forty
four days in order to permit the ami.
mails to become accustomed to their
surroundings and act normally. A
greater variety of matches was used
