body Is oblong and robust. It is

The most obvious indication of the

long dorsal fin, which is half as long
as the body. The tail is round. and
the head is covered with a hard,
bony helmet.
Bowfin use their swim bladder for
breathing. They come to the surface
at intervals to gulp fresh air. They
are able to live in very foul water
even in mud, because they can sur
vive long periods without the use OF

BOWEN.

Bowfins are known as living fos-
sils," being the only existing repre-
sentatives Of their group Of a million
years ago. They are in the class
with the gar and sturgeon as being
among our most promitive fishes.
Bowfins are found only in North
America. They are abundant in
some places, scarce In others. They
are in the Eastern and Central
States, in the lakes and sluggish
waters. From Vermont west to
North Dakota and from Florida as
far West as Texas, bowfins have
been caught In the streams and riv-
ers. In the Great Lakes, they are
considered menace to young edible
fish.
Known to fishermen as an ex-
tremely voracious fish with plenty of
pep and determination. the bowfin
is sought for the sport it affords.
It's flesh is not considered very pala-
table, though in Louisiana dried bow
fms are used for jambalya and fish-
balls.
The bowfish is known by many
names In different parts of the
country-grindle, sawyer, mudfish,
dogf1sh, lawyer fish and other names
The origins seem to have been lost
with the lapse of years. But many
claim that dogf1sh is the right name
because of the way the bowfin shakes
its head and shows its anger at be-
ing caught.
In its feeding habits, the bowfin
Is carnivorous. 1t is greedy when IL
comes to minnows. crayfishes and

week 1t may be well to ask, "Wny
do we have seven-day week?
Might not the number Of days be
different, say 5 or 1902"
One answer to those questions is
that In some parts Of the world
there are weeks with a different
number OF days than seven. IN
Africa, for example. many persons
count days in periods OF five days
each, and each of those periods
may be called week" The fifth
day is market day and people do
no work on that day, except to go
to market.
Several other parts of Africa have
weeks with only three or four
days. In section of the Cam
eroons, on the other hand, people
count their days in groups Of eight.
The seven-day week, however, is
the most widespread and it goes
far back in history. It can be
traced to the Jews OF long ago.
The Old Testament of the Bible
tells about 1t.
Records of the ancient Baby
lonians show that they also had a
seven-day week. They named their
days in honor of the sun, the moon
and five Of the planets. The
seventh day YVES a time OF rest. No
one could cook food on that day,
or ride in chariot, or offer sacrifice
to the gods. Even more strange to
us, there were rules against a person
wearing white clothing on the
seventh day and against taking
medicine!
The ancient Romans called Mon
day "Dies Lunae," meaning Day
Of Luna"
Who was Luna? She was the
Roman goddess of the moon.
The Romans started to worship
Luna more than $500 years ago.
1t seems that some of them believed
that the moon itself was the god
dess!
The Romans said that Luna was
the sister of the sun god. 1t was
their custom to picture her as driy-
ing two white steeds.
