up OF deliveries. it. was found, would
result from return 30 the ,90-tcn
type boats. as against the i,lOO-tonners.
while the military value OF the smaller
boats is decidedly less.
The chief trouble is In securing en-

gincs in some of the new boats. 10 be

Tidal Waves Affect Fish
Lower Layers OF Water Contain

Land animals breathe in oxygen VIII

course, dissolved in water J. W. Sale
and W. w. Skinner reported in their
paper presented recently at the Kan

Chemical Society that the lower layers
Of certain tidal waters contained less
dissolved oxygen than the upper layers.
They show this TO be due to the
greater specific gravity of the under

In other words. the water is found in
strata, according 70 its weight and
this prevents an up-and-down circula-
