SWIM TEN FEET A SECOND
Interesting Facts Developed in Scien-
tific Study of Habits
of Fish.

The speed at which fish can swim
is summarized by the Scientific Amer
lean from recent studies as follows:
"a Belgian authority, G. Denil, while
studying fishways, concluded that SAL
mon could swim at a speed of 3.15 me-
tiers a second for at least ID meters.
A Canadian, G. P. Napier, from inves-
LEGATIONS in the Frazer river expressed
the opinion that the limiting velocity
of a steady stream up which sockeye
salmon could swim a very short dis
lance was between six and seven miles
an hour. Finally, Fl. Won Bayer of the
United States BUREAU of fisheries de-
clared that the velocity of the current
in fishways should not exceed ten feet
a second. These various figures, ar
rived at independently, are substan-
TALLY in agreement. From his own
studies on fshways in Massachusetts
Emerson Stringham found that a COM
mon species of alewife could swim for
at least a few feet through water flow
ing about ten feet second, about the
limit for fiShWayS,"

The Magnetic Compass.

Experiments with magnets known to
the scientists $500 years ago, which,
developed by Doctor Gilbert and Peter
Perigrinus, led up to the presept-day
admiralty compass of Kelvin. were
shown recently by Prof. ]. A. Fleming,
professor of electrical engineering, Uni
versity Of London. at the Royal insti-
tute.
"The earth is a magnet" said the
professor, "and every piece of iron that
has stood in vertical position for any
length of time is magnetized by the
earth. You can try it on your garden
ratings"
The hostelry sign, "The Goat and
Compass" he said, "does not refer to
the mariners friend, but is contrac-
ton of the saying, God encompasses
u.s." and the compass takes it's name,
not from the magnetism which governs
its working, but from the circular card
which encompasses the needle.

positc the Big Bed district Of Texas.
Mexican mobilization on the border is a fact
and is causing grave concern among American army
officers in this section.
The strength Of the troops opposite the Big Bend

stanly growing
Most of the Mexican army men in northern Mexico
are pro- German, some of them rabdly so.
On this side of the line it is realized that open
break that would lead to war, would be triumph for
