LOW long do whales live? How
1 L far do they travel! What is
their birth-rate? Upon what float
ing organism do they feed?
These are questions that the Brit
ish Colonial Office is trying to
solve, and for which purpose an ex-
petition has been sent to the An
arctic.
One of the methods employed 20
solve the problems is to label whales.
Since it is obviously out of the
question to catch a whale alive. the
method employed is to fire small darts
into the thick layer Of blubber on the
back Of the monsters by means Of
a specially designed cross-bow. Each
dart has a label attached. In this
way it is hoped to determine wheth.
er whales that breed in African
water migrate to the South Seas 70
feed.
Fish wander a great deal. Some
species, such as salmon, sea trout,
mackerel and pilchsrd, are regular
migrants. Others, such as place and
haddock, are partial migrants. IN
the interests Of the fishing industry,
il is important to find out as much
as possible about the movements oi
fish. and with this object thousands
Of fish are caught alive. The Admir-

How Fish Are Studied

atty has a large trawler, the George
Bligh, which, among other tasks, car
ries out that Of marking fish.
The fish are caught in a trawl
net placed in a tank through which
water is pumped, and the best are
marked and put back into the sea. The
mark consists of two evonite discs
held together by piece of silver wire,
which is threaded either through the
back fin or the hard flap covering the
gill.
The disc is marked with letters and
a number, and trawlers look out for
the marked fish and hand them over 20
the authorities. For each fish sent
in with its mark and full particulars
Of its capture to the Fisheries Labora-
tory Of Lowestoft, a reward Of two
shillings is paid, and it is surprising
how many are recaptured, and to
what distances fish travel.
One young place covered 30 miles
in eight months; another. taken far
up in the North Sea, was caught off
Winchelses, in the English Channel
Even crabs travel long distances. Ono
large female crab caught and tagged
off Cromer was retaken near Flam'
borough Head. a hundred miles away
Tagging salmon and sea trout has
told US n great deal about their habits
and their rapid growth.

city, however, who goes and borrows
small waif for the day need not be
afraid that she herself is a martyr
to charity; that she is going to lose
her own Christmas. The fun Of Civ
ing that little girl good time, feed
ing her to the bursting point, talking
to her, taking her perhaps for her
first amnibus ride, showing her the
stuffed monkeys in the museum and
the fish in the aquarium, and making
up a bed for her on the couch after
supper, will give her hostess q thrill
that she perhaps hasn't had since she
left the folks at home.
FINDING CHRISTMAS.
Such q funny little girl; such a
pathetic little girl; such an enthu.
siastic and appreciative little girl
The bigger girl will begin to wonder
IL she mightn't have her again some
time
That's one way to find Christmas.
There are n thousand other ways all
based on the same secret. The secret
Of sorrow and unhappiness awaiting
the touch of an inspired and generous
hand to tighten it.
One girl 1 knew used to call for
