MEN OF SCIENCE PUZZLED
Find Ii Har1 10 Account for the
Erratic Movements of Deep
Water Fish.

The erratic movements of fish are
a constant source of worry to scien-
fists, who, try as they will, can never
account for the vagaries of these sea-
jewellers. Here is a 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,
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
liz. Scientists named them title fash."
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 a volcanic disturbance or else
some deadly disease had killed off the
fish. In 1915 a schooner working in
the same waters caught the tile fish in
abundance, and to this day the fish
are there in millions.

OPPOSED TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS

The joint debate at Boston over
the league of nations covenant between
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massa-
chusetts and President A. Lawrence
Lowell of Harvard university puts the
former, whose portrait is given here
with, in the limelight as perhaps its
foremost opponent. The. debate was
doubly important because of the per-
sonality of the debaters. President
Lowell represents the pure student and
theorist. He is author of standard
treatise on the government of England
and other contributions to the science
of government, which has been his
special subject. He is one of Americas
distinguished scholars and brings to
the consideration of any public ques-
ton a formidable body of knowledge.
Senator Lodge, by comparison,
represents the practical and realistic.
He is himself a historian of note,
man of high culture and informed in
telligence. And in addition, while
President Lowell has been studying tn
has been practicing it.

HOW CAN YOU TELL YOUR
FAvORITE TOBACCO?
As Plain as the Nose on Your
Face-JuSt Smell Ii

Smokers do not have to put tobacco
in their pipes to find out if they like it.
They can just rub the tobacco between
the palms of their hands and smell it.
The nose is an infallible guide to smok-
ing enjoyment.
All smoking tobaccos employ some
flavoring TO improve the favour and
burning qualities of the leaves, to
quote the Encyclopedia Britannica.
Naturally, there is considerable differ
ense in the kind OF fiavorings used, and
the nose quickly detects this difference.
TUXEDO Tobacco uses the purest,
psst wholesome, and delicious Of all
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. And the almost
universal liking for chocolate in great
measure explains the widespread popu-
lRrity of TUXEDO Tobacco.
Carefully aged, old Burley tobacco,
plus dash of pure chocolate, gives
TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance
your nose can quickly distinguish from
any other tobacco. Try il and see.

Sixty-sixth congress, represents the
whole state of Wyoming in the house
of representatives. The state. ac-
cording to the census of 1910, has but
1896 inhabitants and therefore is
entitled to but one representative. Mr..
Mondell was born in ST. Louis in $50,

orphan. He lived on an Iowa farm
until eighteen and then engaged in
stock raising, mining and railroad
construction in various parts of the
West. He settled in Wyoming in 1881
and was one of the builders of New
castle. He married Ida Harris of Lar
annie in 1899. He was elected to the
Fifty-fourth congress and has served
