JUDGING AGE OF THE FISH
How II May Be Determined by the
Scales or ~Otoiiths-r

Could you tell the age Of q fish II
asked 10 do sof
II has been found that the age Of
a fish may be read from its scales.
These increase in size by annular
growths two rings being formed each
year. The "otoliths," or ear stones,
which lie In two sacs on either side
of the base of the cranial cavity. Gf-
ford another means of determination.
Like the scales, otoliths increase by
two rings annually. Each spring a
white ring is formed and each autumn
n black one. Thus the number of ell
ther white or black rings in an otolith
gives the age of the fish In years. In
the case OF fiatfish the latter method
has been found more reliable. where
as In the case of the cod the scales
give better result. Although vary
ing much in size and shape In differ
ent species, the otoliths show a re-
markably constancy In the same spe-
cies; hence they are of considerable
value In the diagnosis of species.

Why We Nod ives" and Shake "No.'

The question. "Why do we shake no
and nod or bow when we mean
yes is very e., slly answered. These
actions originate in infancy. The baby
turns its head away TO prevent dis
agreeable things from getting into its
mouth. If II is not hungry il will
turn the head from side TO side to
avoid the nipple.
In time this shaking of the head be-
comes associated with disagreeable
things and unwelcome thoughts. In
like manner the nod originated In the
motion Of the infants head to take
food. After the child had words to
express its desires the nod and shake
remained 10 express approval or disap-
proval. In addition 10 this funda-
mental cause mimicry helps to perpet-
uate the action.
