CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WALL
Certain Species Equipped With a Pc
euIiar Suction Apparatus That
Makes Feat Really Easy.

An interesting account Of the climb
Ing catfish of Colombia (Arges mar
moratus) was published q few years
ago by II. ID. o. Johnson. These fish
can climb, by means of suction ap-
paratus, not only up the steeply-in In
clined bed of mountain torrent, but
even up smooth, vertical surface.
MIR. Johnson saw some of them climb
a vertical distance of IS feet in half
an hour, up n wall of rock over which
trickled thin film Of water.
In connection with recent publica-
ton of this article, G. h. Noble states
that other species of fish are known to
climb in the same manner. Several Of
these occur in the Himalaya. Nema.
chilus rupicola, and perhaps other spe-
cies of mountain cyprinids, adhere to
the rocks by means Of their smooth
ventral skin and enlarged lips. The
silurid genera Pseudecheneis and
Glyptosternum cling by means of a
well-developed abdominal sucker.
The mountain torrents Of the Hima.
laya form the nursery for many spe
cies Of frogs. Their tadpoles, like
the fish, have become adapted to their
location: some cling by means of their
lips and ventral musculature. while
others possess a well-developed ven
trail sucker.-Scientifc American.

The Red Skirmish Line.

IL was in the spring Of ITS, Just
after the close OF the long, hard winter
at Valley Forge. The troops under

half starved in the cold huts and were
in the lowest Of spirits. In that time
of depression the army observed a day
Of prayer and fasting. At the same
time the glad tidings Of the French
alliance came and filled the camp with
Joy. To celebrate the glorious event
ii was decided to have a sham battle
for the amusement and instruction Of
the soldiers.
Among the officers on General
Steuben's staff was young French
lieutenant named Duponceau He was

party, for the American troops had
been divided into two forces for the

bushes long red line-the first rank,

OF red-coats. He made up his mind
hat the British general had determined
to surprise the Americans.
Dashing back to camp, he shouted to
the astonished men that the British were
coming. The bugle call rang out
across the field, and in a few minutes
the entire camp was ready for the
enemy. With the young Frenchman in
advance the Americans pressed stead.

had discovered; but Washington spoke

Hair.

Long hair Is said to lower a child's
vitality.
Hair grows much faster In sum.
mer than in winter.
City jewellers are usually darker
of hair than country people.
Shaving of whiskers is a sign OF
mourning among the Hindoos.
The longest hair recorded growing
on female head was 8 feet.
Nearly all the great reformers OF
founders OF religion had red hair.
Bald-headed folks, said a physician
once, need never worry about having
consumption.
Dark-haired people, so says an au.
thoriry, get married sooner than the
fair-haired individuals.
Red hair is regarded as beautiful ir
Turkey, and consequently many women
dye their hair that shade.
In Japan the heads OF small boys
are always kept shaven until they are
seven years old. This is supposed to
strengthen the hair.
The two extremes in human hair are
that OF the negro, fiat in section and
curly, and that Of the Monaghan
which Is round and straight.
Human hair varies In length &C.

surrounding it, and in many factories
