Our failure to keep track of
these things usually gives US a dis

with our money, with the result
that we try hard to economic on
items that mean but a very small
percentage of our total spendings.

Why Fish DO Not Travel Far.

Animals of both land and sea are
confined within rather narrow limits
of pressure. In his book on the North
sea fisheries, Neal Green shows that
the North sea fishes are isolat-
ed In their own little world,
for they cannot migrate to the At
lantic depths, and, with a few
such exceptions as the eel, deep
sea fishes cannot enter shallow wa
tiers. Foraging for food is the fish's
occupation. The North sea fishes will
not descend into the ocean because
there is no food to attract, their eyes
are not adapted to the darkness, and
the pressure of the water is greater
than ordinary fish can endure. In the
depths there are no seasonal changes.
no currents. Everything is uniform.

helpless, IL not destroyed by the re-
lease from external pressure.
