MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find II Hard to Account for the
Erratic Movements of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements of fish are
q constant source of worry to scien-
lists, who, try as they will, can never
account for the vagaries of these sea-
dwellers. Here is case in point: In
May, 1879, the fishing schooner Hutch
ings, sailing from Gloucester, Mass,
was under the command of Captain
Kirby, trawling for cod off Nantucket.
A strange fish came UP in the nets, a
large creature covered with yellow
spots. The men caught over two tons
and brought them to land, where they
were found to be an entirely new fam
lily. Scientists named them "tile fish,"
For three years, till 1882, the fish were
caught in huge numbers, then the
"bankers" reported that they were no
longer to be seen. The news came that
the sea was covered with dead tile
fish. Six thousand square miles of sea
were almost hidden by the dead bodies.
Authorities said that there must have
been q volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed off the
fish. In 1915 schooner working in
the same waters, caught the tile fish In
abundance, and to this day the fish
are there in millions.

BOY SCOUTS SAVE cRAcoW.


The thrilling story Of how the boy
scouts of Cracow saved their city
Poland's most ancient and noblest cen
ter, was made public in Washington
by Polish agents.
Although the famous boy scout
movement brought invaluable aid to
the allies, particularly In England, the
records of the international organiza'
tion bear no brighter or more courage
Gus example of heroism than that OF
the Polish boys who shouldered rifles
and guarded the ancient hearths OF
their fathers.
When the Austrian empire fell, the
Austrian officials and soldiers in era
cow vanished at once. The city was
left without leadership.
1t was then that two scoutmasters
trained as officers, rallied the boy
scouts. They were assigned to fixed
posts and within a few hours were po.
licing the city with military preci
sion and dash that soon checked al
efforts at looting and lawlessness.
The boys guarded the public build
ings, military depots and other points
including stores Of high explosives
which were sufficient to have wrecked
the city should they have fallen into
the hands Of the reds.

RANKS WITH WORLDS GREAT
Give Him an Assured Place
Among lmmortais.

According to legend, which, how
ever, is seriously considered by certain
authorities, in the year 1865. the fall
OF an apple as Newton sat in his
garden suggested the most magnificent
of his subsequent discoveries-the law
of universal gravitation. On his first
attempt to explain the lunar and planet
ary motions, he employed an estimate
then in use of the radius of the earth
which, based on the value of n degree
of latitude then prevalent, was so err
roneous as to produce discrepancy
between the real force Of gravity and
that required by theory to explain the
motions and indicated only an approxi-
mate verification of his theory. Ac-
cordingly, he abandoned for number
of years the hypothesis that homo
geneous attracting sphere behaved as
IL all matter was concentrated at its
center, and took up other studies, con-
sisting chiefly of Investigations Of the
nature of light and the construction of
telescopes. He also propounded new
theories on light and color. Newton
died March 20, 1927 (old style), and
his remains were inferred in West
minister abbey.

Whiskers Reappearinq.

A noticeable feature in masculine
appearance Is the increasing fashion
Of whiskers. At present they are only
small affairs of the Albert variety,
made popular by the prince consort.
The whisker is no longer than two
fingers breadth, but there is no telling
what dimensions these side products
OF the war may assume.
1t is an army fashion, just as boards
were an after-growth of the Crimea.
The present whisker originated among
officers whose right arm, stiff or i'm
paired through wounds, cannot be
raised easily to the level of the ear,
and so prevents clean shave to the
top of the check.-London Chronicle.

"Ah! Then there will be a great
deal of gardening done this spring?"
commented the spectacled guest.
"No. They will do a great deal of
talking about doing great deal of
gardening until 1t is too late to do
any gardening this spring, and then

THE SCOUT Is TRUSTWORTHY.

The quality Of trustworthiness Is
the one that all business men are look.
ing for in their help. If the boss tells
q fellow to do something he wants tc
know that when the times comes the
job will be done.
1t is the fellow who is easy with his
promises but short on his perform

appointment and trouble generally
than any other.

or made good, but time-life--once

their promises; make them carefully

I'VE Aim to Please"
That there are modes to please
every woman in whatever type she
may demand is emphasized by two re-
ports from the other side. One states
that the Maison Doeuillet, in putting
forth the directoire dress, followed
the original inspiration as to the ex-
tent Of the upcurving waistline at the
front, and another house shows waists
that dip downward at the front in, a
point.
Capes, say some authorities, are
going to be worn by the women who
know and suits will be left to the gen.
eral public who do not know. All
very well for Paris, but one might as
of the habit of eating as to think Of
depriving her of her well tailored suit.
That the makers know this Is evident
from the fact that their suits are more
than ordinarily worth while.
All Of the models of this house nr'
of the strictly tailored classification
The lengths are modified to suit the
wearer, but the same general lines are
preserved throughout. The skirts are
quite tight and the coats are cut with
whether the latter be long or short.
Doucet ideas run counter to those of
some of the other houses. No direc-
toire models are to be seen in this col
lection, rs Doucet clings to the old
straight line, and the suits are built
on this principle as well as the dresses.
A slight concession to the general
trend may be found in the high,
square collars seen on the straight
knee-length jackets.
The Tunic Apron.
Premet tailleurs are enhanced by
the addition of front tunic aprons but
toned down the sides, but otherwise
they are quite straight and simple.
The suit coats that are worn with
these skirts are three-quarter length
and may be cut away at the front and
the collars and cuffs are of contrasting
colors. The upper part of the jacket
is loosely girdled and the skirt part Is
mnde with the swinging directoire
flare.
Jenny prefers the knee-length jacket
for her suits, which she makes OF

know that the reports of exports do

supplies carried on vessels other than
those mentioned or sent abroad by the

works out in this way: Almost every
thing Is In correct line IL 1t follows
the lines of the figure. The fact that
pine-tenths of the makers voted for
the directoire modes strengthens this
conclusion rather than otherwise, as
the dresses Of this period particularly
Emphasize the lines Of the figure un-

wraps, aside from the picturesque re-
vers, have tendency to exaggerate
the natural curves. That is the point,

The directoIre fashions were In the

Streets In Paris are still dlmly light
