separate gondolas. Capt. w. p.

HOW THE MOLLUSKS TRAVEL
Attach Themselves to Water Fowl and
Are Thus Transported for Con-
siderable Distances.

One of the problems that continually
confronts the naturalist is to account
for the distribution Of identical forms
Of life among widely separated iocall-
ties. Investigation frequently shows
that this has been accomplished in
many ways that appear quite simple
when once discovered, although one
would hardly have thought OF them In
advance of their actual detection.
Some interesting facts have been
brought out concerning the dispersion
of fresh-water mollusks, accounting
for their appearance in remote and
isolated ponds. 1t appears that water
fowl play an important part in this
work. Ducks have been known to
carry mussels attached to their feet a
hundred miles or more. Bivalve mol
lusks not infrequently cling to the
toes of wading birts, and are thus
transported for considerable distances.
Even aquatic insects have been known
to carry small fresh-water mollusks
attached to their legs.
In such manner does Nature compel
the various inhabitants Of the earth to
assist one another whether they will or
not

OIL FROM FOSSIL SEA FISH
Substance Highly Valued for Its
Curative Properties Obtained From
Centuries-OId Deposits.

In certain parts of the world mining
for fish is very profitable occupation.
Many thousands of years ago the
oceans covered large portions of the
world which now are dry land. The
whole face of the globe has altered,
for you may now finS high mountains
in places where formerly there were
plains or even great seas.
AS the mountais were heaved up by
subterranean explosions, the waters
receded, leaving behind the remains
of countless millions of their inhabi-
tants. That is why we find in Switzer-
land enormous deposits Of fossil sea-
fish hundreds of miles away from the
sea.
These fossils retain the oil that was
present in the bodies of living fish
thousands of years ago. Matured by
its immense age, this Oil has extraor-
binary curative properties when used
in the treatment Of chilblains and GER
tain forms of skin disease.
The fossils are dug out, often from
considerable distances beneath the
soil, and the oil known as ichthyol is
distilled from them. It is extremely
valuable, for a great quantity of fossil
fish is needed before a pint Of oil can
be produced.

MYSTERY OF OLD EGYPT
ArcheoIogists at Loss to Explain the

Buttons were not used.

IT came into use in north Europe,

TOOK REINDEER TO ENGLAND
Not a Success-Marked InteIli-
gence Shown by Them.

A hundred years ago it was thought
that the mountain forests of Great
Britain might be colonized by reindeer
from Lapland, and an account was
given in 1921 in an issue Of the OBJ
server, London, of the extraordinary
sagacity displayed by them when a
number were brought to England at
the instigation Of an eminent natural
list, Mr.. Bullock. The herd was ac-
companied by a Laplander, to whom
the animals were attached and to
whose wishes they were usually obedi-
ent All went well till they arrived
at the place of embarkation, when the
herdsman invited the deer to follow
him to the boat. When the leader OF
the herd put his foot upon the float
leading to the vessel he started back
in alarm. 1t was the first unsteady
ground he had ever trod. Fresh invi-
tatiOns to follow the herdsman and
fresh Investigations followed, the
whole herd looking on. and watching
the proceedings, placing entire conf
dence in the captain, not attempting
to move till he gave them signal that
all was WELL After a time he seemed
to be treasured and in a majestic
manner entered the vessel, where he
trod upon every plank and carefully
examined everything. When he had
satisfied himself that it was perfectly
safe. he uttered kind of snort, when
the hitherto passive herd bounded into
the boat and in three minutes all had
embarked. The account continues
that the vessel was overloaded and
the intelligent beast indicated this TO
his followers. "Were we not assured
of the fact, we could hardly credit 1t,
the reporter continues. LAS he had
intimated other things, he also init
mated this to his followers. No soon
er was this done than the individual
deer he appealed to leaped into an
other boat"
The experiment did not prove a sue
cess. but the marked Intelligence OF
the reindeer made deep impression
upon the public.

MARRIAGE IN THE ANDAMANS
Life Convicts Pick Brides Sight Un-
seen, but Women Are Allowed
Three Choices.

Those of you who talk cynically Of
the lottery of marriage should ponder
awhile On the pleasant little customs
of the Andaman isles, that delightful
little colony where "lifera" from Brit
ish India are sent. / have just been
reading about them. Certainly, by
comparison, a wedding over here is a
thousand-to-three odds-on chance.
Look on this story:
Every Saturday morning, in those
delightful AndamanS, all women who
wish to be married-and you can bet
your life there are always many can
didates for matrimony-are heavily
yelled and paraded round a square.
Then prisoners, qualified by good con-
duct for the privilege of getting mar
ried-I know certain cynically minded
folk who would aver that the punish
ment for bad conduct must be too
appalling to contemplate-stand look
ing on, judging as best as they can Of
the merits of the candidates.
But when once you've made your
choice the thing is done! The veil is
removed and, in the words Of the an
cient song, you've got to have it
whether you like it or not" Always,
providing, Of course, that the lady is
equally willing. For to her is &C.

STREAM A FREAK OF NATURE
ton Seems SimpIe-After 1t Is
Explained.

A small stream called Bear creek
flowing from the glaciers Of Mount
Adams, near Husum Wash, is freak.
1t plays hide and seek along its course
through the forest, slipping into a cave
here, a crevice there and reappearing
below full fiedged rivulet. It's bed is
ice coated nearly the entire year; on
the surface rocks float and in the
water logs sink.
The water is bright yellow in one
place, red in another and light bluing
when it flows into the Columbia river.
Bear creek, differing from other
streams, freezes at the bottom first in
stead of the surface. This is caused by
a rocky formation similar to CORFU
gated washboard, retarding the move
ment of the water, forcing the surface
to move swifter. In this way air bub
bleS are shot downward, carrying
freezing temperatures, and ice forms.
Often in winter the stream flows while
the bed is solid ice.
This stream also contains more
water in one part of it's system than
in another. A 4-foot depth quickly
becomes a tiny brooklet by the water
disappearing into the porous volcanic
bedrock. Later it reappears and re-
sumes its course.
3, The logs that readily sink are
species of black jack pine with a
specific gravity heavier than water.
They are carried into the creek by
landslides.
Rocks seen floating are a sort OF
pumice or lava clinkerS released by
melting glaciers.
The yellow color is directed from the
glaciers the red caused by red clay
bluffs, and the blue by deposit of
copper quartz through which the
stream has cut it's bed.

First Version of English Bible.

The first complete version of the

1882 there had appeared version at
tributed to Wycliffe, but the gospels
alone can be identified as the work
of Wycliffe himself. The translation
of the Old Testament and the Apoc-

appeared at Worms in 1925; later edi.
