Salmon and ACIDS.

Investigators say that salmon find
their way into rivers by means of the
presence of acids or alkalis, which, Of
course, varies in different streams.
Even when they are long way out at
sea, says the Youths Companion, they
can discover the trace that will lead
them TO the bay and the stream that
they seek. 1t thus becomes unneces-
sary to appeal to "homing instinct"
to explain the return of certain salmon
to certain rivers or the running" of
herring to certain localities.
