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

An interesting account of the climb
ing catfish of Colombia (Arges mar
moratus) was published few years
ago by r. ID. o. johnson. These fish
can climb, by means of suction APP
paratus, not only up the steeply-in-
clined bed of mountain torrent, but
even up smooth, vertical surface.
Mr.. Johnson saw some of them climb
vertical distance of Is feet in half
an hour, up wall Of rock over which
trickled thin film of water.
In connection with a recent publica-
ton of this article, G. X. 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 well-develOped ven
trail sucker.-Scientific American.

Glue Stronger Than Steel.

A new field for wood has been
opened by the use Of what is called
ply-wood and glue made from the
blood Of the animals killed at the
slaughter house and of the casein, OBJ
tanned from milk.
Remarkable sturdiness under all con-
ditions has been shown by this COM
bination. The combination was first
thought of in connection with the man
ufacture Of airplanes.
Thin sheets of wood are laid one
over the other with dry sheets of pa
per coated on both sides with the
new glue. The mass is then heated
under pressure and the result is that
structure is formed which is strong
er than steel and has many other adj
vantages over metal.
Panels were glued together with
these and tested in boiling water for
eight hours. At the expiration of this
time none Of the pieces showed any
separation Of the plies.

MEN OF IMMORTAL MEMORY
Philosophers, Plato and Aristotle,
Are Still Preserved.

Plato (427-347 B. CO., the celebrated
Greek philosopher, taught that the
true source of knowledge Is the reason,
observes an exchange. According to
his teaching, we come to conscious
ness through innate ideas developed
by contact with the outer world
through senses. He distinguished be-
tween empirical knowledge and reason,
and divided philosophy into logic,
metaphysics and morals. He was the
first to attempt the construction of
philosophic language; to develop an
abstract idea of knowledge and
science; to state logically the prop
critics Of matter, form, substance, ac-
cident, cause and effect, reality and
appearance; to describe the divinity
as being essentially good, and tell
of his moral attributes. He taught
that matter is an eternal and infinite
principle; that God is the supreme in
telligence, incorporeal, without begin
ning end or change, and that the soul
Of man is immortal. Aristotle 1854
322 b. c., another celebrated Greek
philosopher was the pupil of Plato and
the teacher of Alexander the Great.
He makes logic the instrument by
which all general knowledge is OBJ
tanned. He enlarged the limits of
philosophy to include all sciences ex-
cept history. He taught that nature
is a machine, active through deity or
q first cause.

"SIMON PURE" A STAGE HERO
Name Of Hero Of Popular Comedy Has
Become Synonymous for the
Genuine Article.

The expression, "Simon Pure" mean
Ing "the real man." had it's origin In
the name of Pennsylvania Quaker
In Mrs. Centlivre's comedy, "A Bold
Stroke for a Wife," Being about to
visit London to attend the quarterly
meeting of his sect, Aminadab Hold
fast sends a letter of recommendation
and introduction by his friend, Simon
Pure, to another Quaker, who is guard
ian of Anne Lovely, young lady re-
puted to have a fortune of 100000.
Colonel Feignwell, another character
I'm the same play, being enamored of
Miss Lovely and her fortune, avails
himself of an accidental discovery
Of the letter OF introduction and sue
ceeds in passing himself off as Simon
Pure. But virtue Is triumphant in
the end Simon Pure appears with
his witnesses and the scoundrelly
Feignwell is exposed.
The play scored great success, and
the name of "SimOn Pure" was grad
ually applied to anything which was
genuine and above imitation.

FAMED FOR GIANT POTATOES
District Just North Of Denver Has Es-
tabIished Its Reputation for the
Succuient Vegetable.

Wien Horace Greeley gave the
saying, some decades ago: go West,
young man." he incidentally succeeded
In getting a very fine brand Of po-
tatoes named for himself, writes Will
liam G. Shepherd in the Saturday Eve
ming Post. A group of men who went
to the West at that time settled In
q district north Of Denver and east
Of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps,
because they thought of nothing else
to raise, they planted potatoes. About
them, in the highlands, the only wild
potatoes In the United States were
growing luxuriantly. This district Is
similar climatically and otherwise to
the highland district in Chile, where
explorers are believed to have come
across the potato for the first time.
These Colorado wild potatoes prop
agated themselves by means of seeds,
and 1t is from the pods Of these seeds
that the Colorado potato experts get
the material by means Of which they
have produced the Greeleyville potato.
Eastern railroads, on which huge
baked potatoes, served in the dining
cars, have come to be strong allies Of
the passenger agent and heavy draw
ers Of patronage, send to the Colorado
district for the potato giants. Trans
continental railroads which use the
northern route send men into the Mon
faua and DalyOto fields TO nick out al
most by hand, huge potatoes which
have been grown from the Colorado
seed.

Sheep Shearing in Australia.

Shearers in Australia are paid by
the number Of sheep they shear, but
the ranch helpers are paid by the
week. Averaging everything, from
young wethers. which are hard, TO old
ewes, which are easy. good man will
shear about 90 to 100 sheep day.
The actual record is 327 sheep shorn
by Queensland shearer in nine hours.
And other big records have been made.
But that was probably years back
with the BLADES, when the fleeces were
five-pOund and siX-pound, and not nine
pound and ten-pOund, as they are to-
day.

PACIFIC GUARD
TREATY TOEND
JAP ALLIANCE
Measure Would Bind Four
Powers For Ten Year
Period

Washington, D. C., Dec. 1o.--(By the
agreement to preserve peace In the
Pacific was announced today by the
United States, Great Britain, Japan
and France. As consideration of the
international realignment Great Brit
ain and Japan agreed to consign to
the scrap heap the Anglo Japanese
alliance. long viewed with apprehen-
sion in both America and Asia.
Provisions of the agreement which
Is in the form of ten year treaty,
are confined to the region of the
Pacific ocean. The four powers are
to respect each others island posses
sions and to meet in consultation II
a dispute arises or IL the rights of any
of the four are threatened by any
other power.
The announcement was made by
Senator Lodge at a plenary eession Of
the arms conference and was followed
by expressions of approval by tho
plsnipotentiaries of Great Britain.
France, Japan, Italy, China, and Bel
GUM, The Netherlands and Portugal.
To be binding on the United States
the treaty must be ratified by tho
senate. Open war was declared on 1t
by some -''irreconcilables of the
Versailles treaty fight in the senate
but Republican leaders and come
Democrats declared ratification was
certain. .f
Signatures of. the representatives of
the powers have not, yet been af-
fixed and there is an intimation that
they might be withheld until the
naval ratio has been settled.
The naval situation remains un
changed pending word from Toxic, but
there Sis general confidence of ap
stxA nrI. .s.al
plan Will be effective in the very
near future.
In lieu of signature principal dele
gates have put their initials. on the
official copy of the treaty and Senator
Lodge said this act was to be in
terpreted as meaning that the docu-
ment has been approved to all intents
and purposes.
Tho agreement Is expected to has
ten a decision not only on the naval
ratio but on all other issues. a
British statesman went SO far tonight
as to characterize today's session an
practically tho break up OF tn. con-
ference" so far. as, major consdera-
tions are concerned.
One of the first impulses OF soms
senator's was to compare and con-
irast the treaty with the lcas que OF na-
tions covenant,
BY an official spokesman It was
pointed out that a feature OF the
league covenant IL omitted from the
four-power peace agreement. In
Article Y OF the league the members
agreed to respect and preserve each
others territorial integrity" but In the
new treaty the pledge IL to respect
territorial rights in the Pacific
Omission OF the guarantee to pre-
serve the integrity of foreign nations
is declared by the American Heie-
gates to constitute an ail-important
distinction between an alliance and a
compact for peaceful solution Of fu-
ture controversies.
