The size and weight of fish are no
indication Of Its age. Its length Of
life Is revealed, just as that OF tree
IL, by its rings. The fish has an.
nual rings also, but not In It's body
Put fish scale under a magnlfier and
you notice the scale is covered with
little rings-s0me close together and
some farther apart When the fish
grows slowly because Its food Is
scarce ana the water Is chilly these
rings lie close together, but when Its
food Is plentiful and the water Is
warmer, and the fish grow bigger
qulckly--as II were, stretches It's skin
with good feedlng--then the rings on
the scales lie well apart. Each Of
these rings represents one year In the
age Of the fish. There Is another way.
II Is by tracing out the markings on
what are termed the earstones Of the
fsh-the tiny hard things In Its inner
ear. Put these earstOnes under
powerful microscope and you see tiny
light and dark rings. Every light ring
tells OF one years growth so by count
ing these light rings you arrive at the
fish's age.

he thought the first two buttons on his
coat could by any possibility have any
thing to do with the Christmas case.
He said that he would have to go into
his back room and see about 1t first,
but when he came out we knew by
his looks that it would be all right.
We wanted to press the buttons sew
eral times, but Mr.. Uplook thought
that once would be enough, and said
that in each case we might whisper
two desires, whispering loud enough
for him to hear, so that he might be
sure we were getting the thing
straight. So we pressed and whis-
pered in that perfect faith that Mr..
UplOok always inspired in us.
We were not surprised on Christmas
morning when things happened just
as we had expected, and kind Mr.. Up
look seemed just like a real Santa
Claus as he stood by the roadside
with his camera, taking a picture Of
one boy with red-tOpped, cOpper-tOed
boots, riding on a new sled; and Of
another who was trying a pair Of
shining skates on the wayside pond
and trying 10 keep a fur cap In Its
place. And we boys were painting
upon our hearts a picture of this
good frie d that has lasted until now.

The
Wishing Buttons
e, 1922, western Newspaper Union.)
BY CHRISTOPHER G. HAZARD

(G, 1872, Western Newspaper Union.)
ITO US children there was q mystic
= riOus charm about old Mr.. UplOok.
He used to spend a good deal Of his
time In the back part Of his shop, turn
ing bits Of mahogany into little boats
and telling us stories while he Clipped
and polished. He had a small person
In his throat whom he called Pedro,
and he would make him grunt out an
swers to our questions In a wonderful
manner. His vest buttons were con-
nected with several insects, and when
we touched them there would come
out now a bee, then a mosquito, and
once In a while a bug that would
snap off our noses. The buZZing Of
the bee, the piping of the mosquito,
and the dangerous assault of the snap
bug gave us many thrill and him
much enjoyment.
One Christmas time, being rather
short of rich relatives and very long
on hope, we conceived the idea of
drawing upon the fairy resources of
our good friend, by suggesting but
ton that would connect with the good
genius Of the holidays and bless our
wishes. So we asked Mr.. UplOOk If
