These gold fish experiments
are reported Thursday in the

George Milton Smith, MD, Of
the Yale university school OF
medicine. They are part Of q
study of cancer.
x-rays tan the gold fish by
driving to the surface black col

This tanning is similar to q
darkening of the skin or tissues

connection between the pigment
and cancer and information on
this Is sought In the fish expert

PROBLEMS OF india
COME TO FRONT AT

Asiatic Possession Has Most
of 45o,ooo,ooo Persons
Under Flag

Ottawa, Ont, July 2l.-tR-The
shadow of Mahatma Gandhi and the
boycotts of India moved over the
British empire trade conference and
its formal opening Thursday. n-.
During the days Of conversations
and published statements the stress
was placed on the trade OF Canada
and the other dominions.
Thursday it began to be remarked
that, whereas Canada has a popula-
ton of 100000, India has 100000
600 and the Indian delegation. rep
resents two-thirds of the empire s
$50 900, 900 people.
But for the passive resistance OF
Mahatma Gandhi. now silent In
Yeroda Jail, and his followers. it was
estimated, India would be taking mil
lions of dollars worth more Of British
goods than it now absorbs.
Strategy of Compromise
During the last few days. the del
egates, with the celebrated British
strategy of compromise, paved the
way for preliminary advance to theil
objective. Canada, transcending al
others, moved magnanimously to dis
card her less important industrial
enterprises in the interest of British
prefernlent.
Many observers wondered, how
ever, If that course was so essentia
to keep this conference from break
ing up in pious expostulations as it
predecessors have done. Canada ha
only 100000 people, it was recalled
to absorb its share Of the output o
Great Britain's 100000 almost en-
tirely industrially employed citizens
J Other dominions and crown colon
les rose with assurances of willing
ness to give and take, but their popu
lations, too, are in many cases small.
A point overlooked thus far is tn
fact that declining exchange ha
offset the effect of number of tn
American tariff schedules, notabl
that against feeder cattle. The TART
war between Great Britain and tn
Irish Free State also promises
hold out to Canada the prospect G
replacing Irish cattle on British mar
kets.
Exchange Helps Canada
!. Regardless of pessimism north {
the international line over tn
Hawley-Smoot tariff act, the declin
in Canadian exchange made it pos
sible for Canada to sell the U.
practically the same number of hea
of feeder cattle in the first II month
of 1880 as in the same period
1881.
The Canadian unit of exchange

Of any other empire nation. 1t migl
well be at par with the dollar b,
for the decline in the British pour
and the necessity Of guaranteeir
Canadian securities.
Canadians have been buying Anne
lean dollars with which to purcha
British pounds to pay for impor
