but got only far enough to meet the
boss coming up again. There was
nothing doing. The station policeman
had seen the crazy rounder jump into
a taxi and go spinning off uptown.
There was another jolt waiting for
us when we got back TO the office.
While we were both out, MIR. Van Britt

SUN HAS LOST MUCH HEAT
Millions of Years Ago llluminary Was
Ten Times Larger and as
Much Hotter.

Our sun has not always been the
size that it is now.
In the remote past, past meas
ured by millions of years, it was at
least ten times bigger and brighter !
As there was considerable
amount of cloud about in those far
off days, one can imagine what glo-
rious sunsets a break in the clouds
would reveal.
Whether the climate was much
hotter then than it is now is by no
means certain, because, apart from
the cloudiness of the sky screening
so much sunlight, there are other
matters upon which the question of
warmth depends.
There is a limit to the size of our
sun, or of any sun we see shining as
a star in the night sky. ANY of
these bodies could grow to such
size that if it got any bigger it would
burst In the case of a sun, Nature
steps in and saves it from blowing
itself to pieces by internal pressure. |

According to the report just
released by Julius Fl. jacobson,
Agricultural Statistician Of the
Idaho Crop Reporting Service,
Idaho s winter wheat crop prom
Uses to be the largest harvested
since 1915 with a total produc-
ton of approximately nine mill
lion bushels. This is one million
bushels more than was harvested
last year. The estimate is made
: on the assumption of average in
fllsences on the crop from now
until harvest. The report on
abandoned acreage due to winter
killing is not made until May,
but indications are at present
that the crop has come through
in particularly good shape.
The April LIST condition was 81
per cent of normal, an improve
ment of two points from last De-
cember LIST, and ten points higher
than April LIST, 1920.
Soil moisture conditions are
excellent and the crop is MAX
ing a thrifty growth. Given half |
a chance, our dry farm areas are
going to deliver this year. mi
Camas. Fremont and Teton coun-
ties the crop was still covered
with snow April LIST.
Last fall there were $4,000
acres sown, and it is thought
practically all of it has survived
the winter. The 1920 crop was
sown on $4,000 acres, but only
100000 acres were harvested
For the United States, there is
in sight a winter wheat crop of
62l 100000 bushels, the fourth
largest winter wheat crop in the
history of the country and a.
100000 bushels greater than last
years crop.

FISHES WITH FoRKED TAILS
Shape Of the Rear Fin Has Important
Relation to the Creatures SWIM
ming Abilities.

Most marine animals which swim,
especially swiftly and continuously,
have a forked tail fin. This shape
of tail avoids the space immediate
ly behind the axis of the body where
the stream lines following the sides
COT a moving fish, converge. A
rounded or pointed tail which would
occupy such area would be drag.
Whales and porpoises, though
they move the tail up and down in
stead of from side to side, have a
forked tail fin, only it lies in hori-
zontal instead of vertical plane.
The wide-ranging members of the
mackerel family and other more or
less related marine fishes have a
forked tail fin set on firm, mar
row base; and the freest-swimming
sharks (mackerel sharks and the
maneater) have acquired tail of
the same shape, though the ordinary
shark tail is weak and unsymmet-
rical.
Fresh-water minnows almost in
yariably have forked tail fin, wa
tiers which they have to traverse be-
ing considerable in relation to the
small size of the fishes themselves
