Siamese Fish Able to Walk,
L. S. Scientist Confirms

Most people still refuse to believe
that fish in Siam can travel over dry
land, though for years scientists
have been discussing these freaks of
nature. Recently, DR.. II. NJ. Smith,
former assistant commissioner of the
United States fisheries, confirmed
their observations by his own.
Once, while in Siam, he watched
an anabas walk" over dry land.
The fish covered 300 feet in 80
minutes. On other occasions, usual
ly at night, he saw these fish climb
steep banks of canals and make their
way overland to nearby ponds. They
possess an organ above their gills
which enables them to breathe air.

low statue of Ceres, pagan god
dess Of grains and harvests, whose

serve also as a smokestack for it's
own and an adjacent building.
"Some folks are difficult to

But the marvellous sight failed to

"As she turned her back on it, a

scooting out of the smokestack, a
small hat actually whirling until
finally it rested at a rakish angle
across the smooth brow Of Ceres.

in eight days the establishment in
creased by exactly nineteen Of my
own and my wife's relatives.
"These volunteer devotees of
drum sticks and white meat made
serious inroads on my supply of
hens. Something must be done.
"At great trouble and expense I
obtained two f1amingoes and three
swans which I permitted to inter-
mingle with some chickens in a spe-
cial pen. Soon we began to hatch a
peculiar species Of fowl, featuring
a neck which stretched from one
rooms end to another. One neck,
indifferently cooked and laid out on
a special table, provided food for all
my visiting relatives. Two of them
pretty nearly satisfied the kinfolk
Of Mrs. Lynch.
"Our food problem was solved but
other hazards arose. Relatives con-
tinued in such numbers I was afraid
the laying hens would become ex-
cited. The relatives were jolly,
carefree, distinctly informal. So 1

and his correct, black-and-white at

couraged guests. Relatively speak

A Tribute to the Master

A Tribute to the Master
TT MAY be news to some that
L Baron Munchausen, champion
liar of all times, was a real person
who really did exist. (No foolin'.)
The real Baron Munchausen was
born in 1920 in the little town of
Bodenwerder, on the Weser river,
Germany. Like other German
youths of his day he served as an
officer of the Russian army against
the Turks. Retiring at the age of
thirty, he returned to live and to
talk.
The baron's delightful conception
of a talk was to seat himself at
generously supplied table and re-
late his fabulous adventures to
charmed circle. All his tall tales
were about himself; most Of them
concerned also his famous horse.
Once he almost lost the horse.
Riding over snow at night, the Bar
on, so he said, hitched to what
seemed to be a post. He went to
sleep, and, on awakening, found the
snow melted and his steed hanging
by the bride from church steeple!
The old home town of Bodenwer-
der has erected a monument in
memory Of it's most distinguished
son The monument shows Raron
Munchausen seated on his famous
half-a-horse, the latter drinking at
fountain but unable to quench
its thirst because all the water ran
away.
The baron didn't know it but the
sturdy horse had been cut in two
by a falling portcullis as his master
rode hastily into a besieged town.

The Rattler's Years

Biologists do not believe a lot of
the notions about rattlesnakes.
They say a rattler's years are not
the same as the number of rings
he has accumulated on his shaker.
Normally one ring is added every
time the skin is shed, and this is
usually three times a year. But
not all these snakes are alike in
shedding. Some shed twice a year
and some as many as four times.

the prospect to take everything for

AS long as people buy without inquiry
these frauds will persist and great sums
will be filched from incautious, gullible
people. The old rule of "caveat emptor,"
or buyer beware" is, unfortunately, not
sufficiently understood to protect the
public from the schemes of frauds and
racketeers. The racketeer relies upon
the bargain-hunting instinct to bring
him a rich return. The law should

feet, and there are doubtful records
up to . feet 1t is almost inconceivable,
Mr.. Hyslop said, that they can get down
this far without starving TO death unless
they stop to browse on the way.
Mr.. Hyslop urged that graduate
students of entomology be assigned
throughout the East to watch for the
appearance of the big brood and to make
all sorts of studies of its habits this
Spring. He also urged active efforts
everywhere to locate the pupae in the
soil to determine what kind of move
ments they are making.
So mysterious and awe-inspiring is
the emergence of the insects, Mr.. Hyslop
pointed out, that there is a tendency
in the public mind greatly to exaggerate
the damage they will do. In the past
professional entomologists have bent
their efforts to dispel these fears, assur-
ing the public that the weird invasion
from the depths of the earth will be of
only few days duration.
This has tended to distract the at
tention Of competent students from the
amount of damage the invaders actually
do The opportunity to study them is so
brief and the periods between their ap-
pearances 50 long that nobody has felt
justified in undertaking a systematic
study Of them.
