CATFISH KEEPS MOUTH
SHUT FOR SEVENTY DAYS
ron, tho notrojf NauS

From the Detroit News.
The f-topsail catfish domiciles
along the South Atlantic. They are
usually something under feet long,
but the female is always the larger
of any given pair.
Most of the time the male leads a
prosaic existence. but trouble for him
begins in the Spring when the female
lays a lot of eggs. He has to catch
these eggs in his mouth. Then he
shuts his mouth and hold them until
they hatch--at least 70 days.
The eggs usually vary in number
from II to 26, but one granddaddy
catfish was once found with a cargo
of 55 aboard. The eggs vary in size
from a blueberry up to a moth ball.
The male has no special arrange
ment for carrying the eggs. He just
carries them around loosely. Even
if he gets hungry he can't open his
mouth to eat. When the eggs hatch
he keeps swimming around with his
mouth open so that the little catfish
will have somewhere to scamper in
case Of a fright or danger.
After they get too big to all get in
his mouth at once he is privileged
for the first time in months to eat
himself a square meal. His favorite
dish seems to be soft-shelled crabs.

$10O,OD0,O|lD LOAN
SOUGHT BY FRANCE
Negotiations Not Abandoned
Since Nations Failure to
Fund War Debt to U. S.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 14.-Whle the
French government for some time has
been anxious to float a loan of $780,
100000 in this country, no formal re-
quest for new financing has been
placed before its American bankers.
j. =. Morgan & Co, it is learned offi-
cially. Reports that negotiations for
loan had been abandoned because of
Frances failure to fund her war debt
to the United States were declared to
be unfounded.
Until the debt situation has been
clarified American bankers do not eX-
pect that France will begin Overtures
for private financial assistance OF any
sort. Opinion is divided in the finan-
cial district as to whether a temporary
settlement will pave the way for a
new French loan, but the general be-
lief is that Washington will not frown
on any private proposal once a tenta
tive or permanent debt funding ar
rangement is in sight.
Both French bonds and French
francs were heavy in the local markets
yesterday on the announcement from
Washington that further credit to for
eign nations was dependent upon debt
settlements.
