interesting Fatts Developed in Scic--.- tific Study of Habits

The speed at which fish can swim is summarized by the Scientific Amer ican from recent studies as follows:
 "A Belgian authority, G. Denil, while studying ishways, concluded that sal mon could swim at speed of 3.15 me ters a second for at least IA meters. A Canadian, G. F. Napier, from inves- tigations in the Frazer river, expressed the opinlon that the limiting velocity of a steady stream up which sockeye salmon could swim very short dis tance was between six and seven miles an hour. Finally, H. von Bayer of the United States bureau of fisheries de clared that the velocity of the current in fishways should nct z, z, sc- 4cc+ a second These various figures, ar rived at independently, are substan- tially in agreement. From his own studies on fishways in Massachusetts Emerson Stringham found that a com mon species of alewife could swim for at least few feet through water flow ing about ten feet second, about the limit for fishways."
