The Fish Was Drowned

The yarn of the frozen fish which
came TO life when placed In the cook
ing pot by the V. A. D. was told to a
naval officer, who promptly capped
the tale with the following: "An in
tercsting experiment was tried some
little time ago" he said, with an or
binary herring. The fish was put into
large bowl of salt water, and every
day small quantity of the water was
removed, and an equal quantity of
fresh was substituted, until eventual
ly the fish lived and thrived in purely
fresh water. The owner was so
pleased with the success of his expert
ment that he then tried removing a
very small quantity of water daily un-
til the bowl was empty, and found that
the herring did excellently entirely
without water, and as he was so live
ly in the empty bowl, he had to put
him in a cage. Here he lived happily,
hopping from perch to perch, just like
bird, until one day some sudden
noise startled him, and he fell into his
water trough and--was drowned"

NO NEED OF GERMAN POTASH
American Chemists Say That United
States Can Supply Its Own Fer
tiiizers in Future.

st. Louis.-American agriculture
should remain Independent Of i'm
ported fertilizers, now that the op-
portunity is presented, in the opinion
Of delegates attending the spring
meeting Of the American Chemical
Society, which opened here recently.
In previous years the agriculture OF
this country depended largely on nj
trogen and potash products from
abroad, the unnecessary use Of potash
compounds being fostered by the pro-
paganda of the German AlkaH Trust,
they say.
Now that the United States is pro-
ducing both salts, they assert, every
effort should be made to encourage
the industry, and prevent the coun-
try from becoming the dumping
ground for foreign commodities.
If proper protection is furnished
by the government, delegates say,
this country can remain Independent
not only Of imported fertilizers, but
Of many other chemical commodities
for which it became necessary to find
domestic substitutes during The war.
