DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea at any pharmacy. Take
tablespoonful of this hamburg tea,
put a cup of boiling water upon it,
pour through a sieve and drink a cup
full at any time. II is the most eff
fective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores. relieving
congestion. Also loosens the bowels,
thus breaking a cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely
vegetable, therefore harmless.

A fish swimming very near a man bath
ing sees first of all that part of the man
which is under water, then above this a
complete reflection of this part, and still
farther above the portion of the man that
is out of the water.
If the man is standing in water up to
his waist the image the fish gets of him
is a single head, a double body, two pairs
of legs and two pairs of arms The head
appears completely misplaced and float
ing in the air.
There is a scientific reason for this
weird illusion. Just as objects in the
water look different to us from the same
objects when seen in the air. so every
thing fish looks at outside of his native
element is greatly distorted.
Likewise, 20 mans eye an object in
water appears to be in a different posi-
ton from what it really is. Take the
familiar example of stick held in the
hand SO that its lower portion is thrust
into the water. At the juncture of the
stick with the water it will appear to
bend, although we know that this appar-
ent bending is only an optical illusion
and that the stick, in reality, is thrust
perfectly straight into the water. An
other illustration which gives exactly the
opposite illusion occurs when a coin is
placed in vessel just hidden by its edge
as you look into it. Then if the vessel is
filed with water the coin may be seen
without changing the position of the
eye,
These are the best known examples of
what is called in science the refraction of
light in different media, such as air and
water. Here is simple explanation of
this law of refraction. A ray of light
from the air on entering the water at an
oblique angle tends to approach nearer
the surface of the water than It's normal
direction in the air. Analogous distor-
ton in the direction of light occurs when
the light comes from the water and en-
tiers the air. But in this Use the phe-
nomena produced are more remarkable,
especially when the plane of the water is

disturbed and the light rays, so to speak.
are jumbled together. This gives US one
of the reasons why a fish gets such
strange look at terrible monstrosity
when an angler or wader steps into his
3window." The reason why the bather
gives the appearance of having four legs,
four arms and two bodies has already
been explained by the process of the sur
face reflection of the water
The size of the window varies with
the position of the fish; roughly, the size
of the circle corresponds to the depth of
the point of observation below the sur.
face. When the fish's eye is three feet
under the waters surface, the circum-
ference the window" is approximately
eighteen feet, giving diameter of about
six feet across. If the fish sank to a depth
of nine feet, the circumference of the
window" would increase to fifty-four
feet, and again as it came nearer to the
surface it would decrease until it disap-
peared altogether. This optical fact en-
abies fish and birds to escape their pur-
suers as they slip out of the 'swindow"
where they are conspicuous as sihouettes
against the sky.
In the intensely cold and peruetuallv
dark regions of the ocean from apnroxi-
mately one-half to five miles below the
surface every fish carries with him as
part of his body sort of light-makinr
apparatus. This light is phosphorus, and
his journey. The eyes Of these h,ninons
animals are not like those developed in
sunlight, and regarding which DR.. Ward
conducted his experiments. Some of these
species are totally blind, those that are
able to see capture their prey and live in
a world of myriad family flashing lamps
which undoubtedly considerably iIlun1i-
nate the surrounding gloom. These are
the only types of fish that see through the
water only, and they are the only ones
that never enjoy the fantastic outlook on
life possessed by fishes whose eyes can
pierce upward into the sunlight.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1923-01-21


about the action of light rays proceeding
from the water and, therefore, very little
about fsh's viewpoint on life, because
man has not been so situated as to look
through the water for any considerable
period of time. But DR.. Ward overcama
this difficulty, as he explains in his book,
"Animal Life Under Water" published by
Funk & Wagnalls. He built a subaqueous
observation tower from which he took
underwater photographs and studied the
habits of fish through a plate-glass
window.
The observation pond was built with
concrete sides. There was an observation
chamber below the level of the water in
one bank of the pond. No light entered
this chamber except through the surface
of the water and all life in the pond was
illuminated only as in nature. In con-
sequence of the light in the pond and
the darkness in the chamber, the glass
became like mirror to the fish and the
observer, if clad in dark clothes, was en-
tirely invisible. Also the glass window
any distortion of the light rays that
entered the chamber after shining through
the water
Imagine yourself" writes DR.. Ward,
"under the water, on the bed of q river.
Seen from below, the surface of the water
would appear as an extensive mirror with
the river-bed reflected upon it. I'M
n1ediately above the observer the reflect
ing surface is broken by circular hole
or window. Through the surface of the
water, in the area of this window, the
sky and objects immediately overhead
have their usual appearance, but in adj
dtion surrounding objects above the water
level are also seen through the window
as dwarfed and distorted images,
suspended, as it were, in the air above
the circumference of the circular hole.
"a ring of iridescent colors separates
the window from the surrounding re-
fecting surface"
One of the most interesting of DIR.
Wards pictures is his cross section of
lake showing just how fisherman, gull,
boat and duck appear to fish at
certain point at the bottom of that lake.
This picture is reproduced above.

Seas, Nature Supplies Fish in
the Ocean Depths With Phosphore-
scent flashlights, by Whose Aid They
Find Their Way About the Cold, Dark
Waters in Which They Live.
Now we come to the explanation of
what fish sees when he looks directly
through the water below the surface.
! Here nature favors him with two kinds
of vision. Anything that swims into
his window comes to him with a
much clearer outline than terrestrial
animal ever sees anything. Then the
fish gets both front and back views at
the same time.
The front he sees by direct vision,
and the back he glimpses by reflection
from the surface water Thus he obtains
almost complete sight of the entire OBJ
ject. When the fish looks through the
water beyond the limits of his angle of
light he is able to see any object as with
ordinary vision, but not as clearly as the
object exists in nature, for reasons al
ready explained.
An underwater view differs from the
terrestrial scene in that the foreground
is always we'll lighted, provided the scene
40 NV IOO uSep underwater, WHlIS OUTSIDE
the range of this lighted area, the bed
of the pond or river appears darker and
darker until the reality and the reflection
blend in the gloomy distance.
A perfect reflection from the surface
of the water is obtained only when that
surface is unbroken. The appearance of
objects as seen from below when the
surface of the water is disturbed is de-
termined by the size of the ripples or
waves on the water The reflected image
becomes less and less clearly defined, ac-
cording to the size of the ripples, and
when waves occur the reflection is dis
torted beyond all semblance of the true
image
Color also plays part in giving the
hsh somewhat inaccurate idea of the
world in which he lives. Dr. Ward dis
covered that greater possibilities for con-
cealnent lay in white than in any other
color. This readily explains why white
is the preponderating color of ish's
skin. Against white, underwater objects
are reflected true to their own color and
this reflection allows the fish to conceal
itself against any ground object and to
look, at no great distance, like part of the
object near which he may be lying.
Only one more position remains to be
considered; namely, when the lower por-
ton of the objec is on the bottom-on a
level with the fsh's eye, and the upper
portion is above the surface, such as the
angler, already mentioned, or a bather in
the water.

reflected duplicates as shown in the pict-
ure on this page.
Whenever a fish looks upward through
the water to its surface he always sees
along the surface reflected images Of the
bottom. But these images are not any
too clear to the fish. Nature has painted
and shaped every little thing that lives in
the water so as to protect it from its
enemies.
Fish are easily lost among rocks because
they take on the appearance of the rocks
themselves, and vegetation has the power
of changing its hue to look like its en-
vironments Even rocks themselves,
where not camouAaged by some sort of
vegetation, slightly reflect the color of
the water coursing from hem and the
bright or dim hues of the sky above. This
is reason why the fish lives in world
of illusion and never sees things as they
really are.

Makes Another Appeal During
Debate on Shipping Bill.
Sees Trade Bettered.

Another appeal for recognition of
Soviet Russia was made in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Borah
(Rep) of Idaho, during debate on
the ship subsidy.
Recognition of Russia is indi-
rectly, and in a large measure, re-
lated to the shipping bill, Borah
said.
There are idle ships in every
port of the world" he continued,
what we need is not a subsidy
but cargoes for our vessels. The
question of reopening the markets
Of Europe to our surplus products
is of much concern"
Borah Immediately plunged into
a recitation of the recent develop
ments Of the present regime in
Russia, and pointed out that former
President Woodrow Wilson had ap-
pealed to the world to allow Rus
STA to work out a government of
her own choosing.
1.-THE Soviet government has been
in existence for almost six years,
and yet" Borah added, "the policy
of the allied powers to that govern
ment has been incomprehensible,
except to be to force back the old
regime upon Russia. or to dismem-
Der the country into a number of
small provinces.

ARRANGED FOR HIS BURIAL,
BUT SUICIDE GAME FAILED

WEST CHESTER, Pa, Feb. o.
In court here just before he was
sentenced to six years in the East
ern Penitentiary and fined 81 900 for
shooting Mrs. Greta Wallace, cook
at the Swan Hotel, at Downing
town, Slater Harris, a Virginia
negro, told the court in a long
speech that he had visited a Coates
Vile undertaken just before starting
out to kill the woman and himself
and had paid a portion of his flu
neral expenses, specifying all de-
tails.
Harris was enamored Of the wo-
man, who was married, and forced
his attentions upon her, but she re-
pulsed him. On the day of the
shooting he found her in a hallway
at the hotel and shot her three
times, inflicting serious wounds
from which she recovered. He then
attempted to kill himself, but fired
one bullet through the rim Of his
hat and one into a wall before he
wounded himself slightly in the
head.

to act as host to the Hardings
during their stay in Florida.
Mclean has engaged the luxurious
houssboat Pioneer" owned by E..
H. Huge. Of Eng1ewood, N. j., and
] upon this boat the Presidential
/ party will spend most of it's time.
1t is planned to sail by leisurely
stages from st. Augustine. to Palm
Beach, stopping off en- route at
various golf courses along the
coast. After Palm Beach, the boat
will be directed at the will of the
party until the first part of April
when the return to Washington is
set. The Pioneer" is now at
West Palm Beach being fitted out
and reconditioned, and will shortly
sail for st. Augustine to await the
President.

Speaking on "How America Can

Birthday exercises conducted at the
Friends School yesterday, Arthur
Deerin Call declared that 1.-The
United States will never assume
the roll of a dictator in Europe"
Call told the students that Eur
ope in solving her problems of the
rights and duties of large and small
states in their relations to each
other, may well profit by organ
izing after the method of the
American Republic, where a balance
between the rights of large and
