Fish Telephone Whereabouts.

Fish, when they swim, make noise,
and this can be detected by the tele-
phone, according to the Scientific
American, which says:
Most of us have watched with in
terest the movements of shoals of fish
beneath the surface of the sea or of
a lake, but few will have associated
with those movements the idea of
noise. Nevertheless, such movements
do make noise, and Norwegian fish
ermen, 1t is said, have taken advan-
tage of that fact to devise an arrange
ment to assist them in detecting and
locating fish at considerable depths

Coral AtoIIs.

According to the Investigations OF
Seurat among the Pacific islands, there
is slow elevation going on there,
which, by lifting the reefs gradually
above the waves, preserves them from
erosion at the top, and enables vegeta-
ton and certain animal forms of a
terrestrial character to exist there.
This Is quite in opposition to Dar-
wins idea that the atolls were formed
by the gradual submergence of small
islands, that the coral insects built up
encircling reefs as the islands sank.
Seurat shows that the elevation of
the islands is a general phenomenon,
but variable in amount, some islands,
like Aukena, in the Gambler archipela-
go, rising rapidly, and others very
slowly. The flora and the fauna
of these islands are confined to very
few species, although seen from a dis
tance, some of them appear to be very
rich in vegetation. Christian Science

EXPLAINS HOLD OF BUDDHISM
Meets the Cravings of Eastern Peo-
Piles, Much as Does Christianity
in the West.

The frequent destruction Of temples
in Japan by fire suggests an idea !;
their speedy reconstruction is a proof
of the vitality of their religion, says
an eastern correspondent. Allowing
for the difference in the standard Of
living, the amount of money poured
into the Golfers of the Buddhist and
Shinto temples is perhaps about equal
to that raised for similar purposes in
the Christian countries. The strong
hold maintained by Buddhism, despite
the advance of scientific knowledge, is
due to somewhat the same reasons
which explain the fiOurishing condi-
tion of Christianity. Buddhism meets
the cravings of its adherents in pretty.
much the same way as other religions,

WILL METER TOWN
Electric Company Grants Re-
quest Of Board.

consumers in Rathdrum, not
already on meters, are to be placed
on meters within the next eighteen
months, by request of the board of
village trustees, granted by F. M.
Shields, speaking for the Rathdrum
Electric company, at the meeting
of the board Tuesday evening.
Members of the board present, all
of whom voted in favor of INSTALL
ing meters, were Chairman c. F.
Borell, Trustees E. A. Swanson,
w. A. Poleson, A. H. Richmond
and ]. Biemond.
There was large attendance of
citizens at the meeting and all the
latter part OF the session of the
board resolved itself into an open
discussion of the light rates. Con-
sumers on meters complained at
the price they paid as compared
with those on a fiat rate who, they
said, used many more lights and
paid less for them.
Mr.. Shields said the fiat rates
could not be made equitable and
said his plan was to meter the
entire town gradually. To complete
this work he said would mean an
investment of $I2oo to $500 in
meters and be suggested that the
company be given eighteen months.
In answer to questions Mr.. Shields
said the company could not reduce
rates, that it buys electricity from
the Washington Water Power
company and is under contract not
to sell at lower rate than that
company; that list OF towns OF
similar size in the Inland Empire
region show that the rates here for
both house and street lighting are
low. He said he believed his
company gave good service and
compared it to towns in the Big
Bend where light and power Is
occasionally off for days at time.
Citizens admitted that the service
here was good. Answering further
questions, Mr.. Shields said 40
watt. lamp burning continuously
would cost 1855 a month. he
said he could give the town better
street lights but could not lower
the rate, as it is already low, and
the company must have the
revenue it is now getting from Its
investment here. He said the town
now has a better rate than the w.
w. P. company would give.
Various other matters came
before the board. One involved
alleged dancing on Sunday IN
public building; this was taken
under advisement. 1t was ordered
that the N. p. build a cement walk
at the cattle chute on Mill street.

CHILDREN NEED CARE
Public Nurse Makes Report for
December.

In her latest report. published in
the Coeur d'Alene Press, Miss Ola M.
Davis, pnblc health nurse, tells OF
conditions among school children OF
the county examined by her during
December.
During the month OF December 377
school children were examined. One
little girl was almost blind. Her
parents were not aware Of the fact.
although the child bad been having
freaueat headaches and stomach
disturbance The mother said the
child had stomach trouble but that
they were unable to take her TO the
doctor.
Another child had an infamed eye
condition that was inf ctious Soon
the whole school would have been
effected II the child had been allowed
to remain. Other children wee fall
ing behind In their school work on
account OF eye trou0le.
All over the county Miss DAVIS
fnds large number of children with
defective vision, who will be seriously
handicapped all thru life unless
immediate steps are taken to correct
this condition.
The school survey shows that 1913
OF the 377 children examined were
from two to 34 pounds underweight.
In many instances the condition Is
due to some physical defect which
prevents the child from gaining. Hot
lunches and special advice as to
proper diet will improve the malnour-
ished children who are "free to gain"
says Miss Davis.
One curious condition Loted in
school of so children was that only
eight of the SO were underweight,
while the usual rate is from 25 TO 33
Ia per cent underweight. This
school had established hot lunches
for the whole school at the commence.
ment OF the term and the adjoining
school with 80 pupils, serving 40 hot
lunches, had l 4 underwelght.
A total OF 252 of 377 had such
poor teeth that they needed immedi-
ate dental attention.
During the past month the nurse
noted big proportion of the pupils
whose posture was very poor. They
seemed to payne attention TO how
they walked or stood. This neglect
threw the whole body out OF proper
position and predisposes the child TO
tuberculosis and curvature OF the |
spine.
Many children were suffering from
tuberculosis or were potential tuber
culosis patients.
O1e hundred and forty-nine
pupils had some eye trouble. Forty
nine suffered from defective hearing:
81 had nasal obstruction; while 1853
had enlarged or diseased tonsils; 20
had some skin disease.
"The idea OF care for the child is
rather new one. although even
congress has enacted laws relative to
the proper care OF stock. Public

awakened to the fact that the child Is
our most valuable asset"
