In writing in Nature Magazine on

say:
The climbing perch (Anabas tes-
tudineus scandens) is able to walk
on the land. Ever since two Arabic
!. .travelers of the ninth century re-
ported the existence of an Indian

walk on the land. and since it was

fish dry up. the existing puddles be-

gradually disappears. the fish leave
their old home to seek other waters.
They depart by hundreds. travelling

a joint, the pointed ends seeking a

movement Of the body. especially or
its posterior part, the creature is
jerked forward. Then the spines of
the gill covers again seek a firm hold
In this way the climbing perch is
able to move quite rapidly over the
ground.
"If the fish do not find water during
their travels. or il they find other
practically dry ponds. they will dig
themselves into the mud. and one
can find them here at a depth OF
one and half feet. The upper hall
of the mud has caked and Is so
brittle that 1t powders at the touch.
The fish generally lie in a moist
layer Of soil, but this can even dry UP
without destroying the life OF the
creature. When the ponds are again
filled with water after the first rains
the climbing perch works its way out

Representative James A. Frear. Wis
consin, in an address prepared for
delivery today before the Iowa. State
Progressive convention declared that
the Republican and Democratic presi-
Dental candidates represent, respec-
lively. the banking houses of Mellon
and Morgan. He said no choice is
offered between them.
The iSSuS, Mr. Frear asserted, is
neither partisan nor political. but for the
overthrow of the influence of big
business in governmental affairs. He
called Senator'S La Toilette of Wis
conSin and Wheeler of Montana, cam
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent. "a protest against Mellon and
Morgan, protest against the power
or a special privilege over the WASH
ington Government"
Sees No Distinction.
Three presidential candidates are
in the field" he said. "William j.
Bryan, three times Democratic leader,
denounced Davis. the Democratic
nominee, in New York because Bryan
said Davis has ever been ruled by
and is the candidate of the house of
Morgan. Confirming Mr.. Bryan's
fsidgment the business journals of the
country have all pronounced Davis
eminently satisfactory to them. This
fact will diSqualify the Democratic
candidate in the Judgment of millions
of progressive Democrats.
THE house of Morgan under Davis
could never WELD more power over
governmental affairs than the house
OF Mellon has welded over the ad-
ministrations of Harding and Cool
idge. If this be true, then the an
swer of millions of progressive Re
publicans is equally certain"

ate last May that 90 per cent of all
contributions for both Republican and
Democratic campaigns were regularly
raised in New York City Mr.. Frear
said. I'm other words, the country s
