How Fast Can a Fish Swim?

How fast can a fish swim?
To the curious minded, and

To the curious minded and this includes us a this is interesting question.
 you standing still and watch its passage from point to point but to gauge shs progress IS more difficult, and good deal of conjecture not to say mature faking,' has been written on the matter.
 One of the best authorities the subject is Chris topher Beck, from whose observations in the London Daily Mail make the following quotations. the rapidly it swim. 1o-lb. salmon can give very good imitation of tornado. Even when hooked and dragging line against heavily braked reel, its speed is simply terrifying
 A tarpon with it's much greater size its long, slen- der body and tremendous muscular power can cer- tainy outstrip a salmon. have heard men who have caught tapon assert that in their opinion tarpon can travel at eighty miles an hour
 Travelling from Charlestown to Jacksonville 1 have watched shoal of porpoises swimming in wedge for nation in front of the steamer, and seen them-ey- two separate squadrons, each of which wheeled and dashed back around the stern of the ship, to return almost instantly and take up their former position.
 The ship at the time was moving at nearly l5 knots, and after seeing this manoeuver repeated several times other spectators agreed with me that the porpolses could swim just about three times the pace at which the vessel travelling, which would work out at something like fifty miles an hour.
 shark, think, is nearly as speedy as porpolse, but is bit slow in starting There IS fancy only fish that could give points and beating to the tarpon This is the swordsh, creature that runs to thousand pounds in weight and which for snser strength and ferocty has possibly no match in all the seas.
 As for whale which is, of course, mammal and not fish, its speed cannot be compared with that of some of the creatures already mentioned yet even so any whale could beat the fastest ocean greyhound In a speed contest.
 As to trout he says that ''in the clear water of moorland trout stream you sometimes get very good view of trout and peerng the edge of high bank into pool, have dropped small pebble apdI watched the trout flash away After trying this exper ment good many times have to the conclusion that small trout move at pretty nearly thirty miles an hour.
 But do not think that trout is as fast as a mackere mackerel, weight for weight is certainly
 stronger fish than trout, and in race between the t two should say that the mackerel would be the winner"

Let's Play the Game!

When Samuel c. Blythe wrote in 1914 on "The Old Game. and How to Beat It With Water he was talking about the drinking of booze. Now the game is to let it alone The face of law and custom has changed just that much in seven years
 Let's all play the new gamei A good American is a good loser. The drinkers have lost, why not stop drinking? Why not be a good Amer ican and a good sport and obey the mandate of the majority?
 This town, the police are saying ot late, is being corrupted by bootleg ging. The law is being systematical- " violated by persons who would not relish being called undesirable citi- zens. And all because they, who probably sneered and gibed at men who wouldn't play their game years ago. now refuse to play the game oi the ma jority and of the Constitution
 In the old days every drinker could take it or leave it alone" you re- member. This is a wonderful time for leaving it alone yet here they are. sucking away at the same old bottle which they have defied the Constitution to get and flirted with
 
 wont, they are not good sports: ii they can't quit they ought to help save our youth from such an enslav- ing habit by obeying the law.
 The most popular excuse is that the law is the work of crack -brained fanatics, and therefore unworthy oi respect. For some reason (the war is usually biamed), all liberty loving Americans had their backs turned fol a moment, and the women and the Prohibitionists put this monstrous thing over on them. As they have lately been singing at Yale;

 Baseball knocked him out of the box long before the law suggested it. Murphy of the Chicago Cubs passed little prohibition amendment of his own in 1912. The Pittsburg mana ger had beat him to it by a year. Hugh Jennings put the Tigers on the water wagon about that time. and baseball, that is, all really fast bail, went speedily dry. As Jennings said. alcohol slows a man down inevi- tably." On the strenuous field of the worlds finest sport alcohol was thor oughly tested by men who were not crack -brained fanatics" and the re- suit of the test was that baseball be- came a teetotaler.
 Science dealt John Barleycorn a body blow long before Yale or any
 body else went over the top. To cite one instance out of hundreds: On July Is, 1914. the -lienists and Neu- rolgists of the United States branded alcohol as poison and resolved that. I've ungratifyingly condemn the uses of alcoholic beverages and recommend that the various State legislatures l take steps % eliminate such use"

 The romance of the French days was Indian tradition. The Iroquois had a picturesque tale to account for the origin of this long stretch of is lands in the St. Lawrence.
 The Great Spirit, they said, wanted peace on earth. So he gave to the St Lawrence region as a sign an is land shaped like a peace pipe. This island, called Calumet, is still pointed out near Clayton. Somewhere near there was the garden of the Great Spirit. But when his people ignored the peace pipe and brought war into the land. the Great Spirit in disap- pointment seized his garden up in a blanket to leave the place. The blan ket tore. and the garden, falling into the St. Lawrence river, broke into a thousand islands that lay on the sur face of the water. This origin, the

ALEXANDRIA BAY, N. Y, Oct. g. Gilbert k. Chesterton in his talk on the ignorance of the educated might have used the Thousand Islands as an apt illustration of his text: "Igno- rance is not so much what people don't know as it is their knowing so many things that aren't so."
 Thousand Islands are to most people a group of approximately 1000 dots of land in the St. Lawrence river A native of this place who has lived in or near the islands all her life says that there are exactly 1000 islands in the group" And her tone implied: if you doubt it. count 'em yourself.
 Yet the fact is that the Thousand Islands number close to 1,500. The early French explorers sailed through the maze of islands and dubbed them with the name they still carry. Thousand Islands is a euphonious

You get a queer jingle when crossing railroad track Instinct warns of danger. cautions you to look both ways. Rarely any danger if you obey that impulse and exercise caution.
 So this year 1000 persons have been killed at grade crossings by trains in Illinois, Much agitation there, to eliminate grade crossings. Good idea
 But there should be also agitation against indi- Vidual recklessness Direct this agitation against folks who walk about in a trance and cross railroad tracks without looking both ways Also. motorists who race locomotives to the crossing
