 As to how the idea has turned out l am more encouraged with greater pleasure to execute the plaque for the natives.

However, Sadler admitted thai

Ocean depths are noisy with
fish chattering.
This Is reported by the Office
of Naval Research after obser-
vations made with an acoustic
videa system operated under its
sponsorship at the Institute of
Marine Science Of the Uni
versity of Miami.
In addition to the noise made
by moving waves at the sur
face, the report says, many
small creatures such as shrimp.
crabs and barnacles produce
q constant cracking clamor Of
background noise. Fish gnash
their teeth as they feed and
many species also can vibrate
their swim bladders with spe-
cially developed muscles, pro-
ducing grunts. pops, boots and
walls.
Some Of these fish sounds
seem to be related to spawning
or schooling. The reasons for
the majority of them are not
known. Perhaps they are the
fish version Of conversation
and gossip. Many Of the sound
sources are still unknown.
Can Detect Sound
Fish and most other water
animals. the observations show,
can detect sound. The hearing
mechanism Of fish is described
as a dual set Of organs. The
inner ear of the fish is capable
at its best Of hearing extremely
low sounds.
Fish also are supplied with
q system Of small sound detec-

tors on the surface of the heat
and sides of the body. Unlike
the ear, these lateral line or
gans respond to very low
pitched sounds or vibrations
so low, in fact, that they can
detect minor water currents
produced by the movements
of other fish.
The click-like sounds Of por-
poises are emitted by q COM
pick series Of air sacks within
the nasel passages. These
clicks sound like the creaking
Of a rusty hinge. They are
directed forward, partially as
a result Of o large mass of
fatty tissue on the forehead.
This is believed to act as a
sound lens to beam the signals.
Sound Pulses Affected
In addition, the porpoise
skull Is constructed so that
high-pitched sound pulses tend
to. be reflected and directed
forward. High pitches, whistles
and squeals also are emitted
by the porpoises and there is
some evidence that these sig
mails may serve as q means Of
communication. as does the
singing of birds.
Large whales, 1t has been
found, also emit sounds - low
means and grunts near the
hearing limit Of the human
ear. The fin-back whale is
thought to be the source of
mysterious, powerful sound
pulses that can be picked up
by listening gear over dis
tances of miles.

WORDS, WIT
AND WISDOM
By WILLIAM MORRIS

Question: You might be inter.
ested in the inclosed clipping:
Mercury vapor poisoning was
one OF the occupational diseases
OF the hat industry when mer.
curry was used in felting. From
this was derived the expression
mad as a hatter,' since the
poisoning caused irritability and
convulsions." Many people
think that mad as a halter"
came from "Alice in Wonder
land" Perhaps you would dis
cuss this in your column
W. Case, Wauwatosa, Wis.
Answer: This theory of the
origin Of mad as a halter" is
widely quoted. The only thing
wrong with it is that the expires.
sion, in slightly different form.
was around for centuries before
hatmaking was a recognized
profession and certainly long
before mercury was used in the
making of felt hats.
The origin that I find most
persuasive holds that "hatter"
is really a variant form Of the
Anglo-Saxon word latter" +"
meaning poison. After Is close
kin to adder" the venomous
viper whose sting was supposed
to cause insanity.
The great popularity Of the
expression can, Of course, be
credited to Lewis Carroll whose
mad Halter" in "Alice in
wonderland" Is one Of litera-
ture's most delightful comic
creations. The phrase itself,
though, was used by many
writer's before Carroll, notably
by Thackeray in Pendennis.
Question: Please settle an
argument. I recently found in a
secondhand store a nearly
forgotten musical instrument
called the jews harp. You hold
it between your teeth and twang
it. My friend says that it should
properly be called the "juice
h harp," because, inevitably,
some saliva gets on it in the
course Of playing. He says
that's what 1t was called when
he was a kid. Who is right?-
L. P. Pittsburgh.
Answer: Your friends "juice
harp" Is a common dialect
version Of the name Of the
instrument, but you are correct.
Interestingly enough, the "jew"
in Jews harp" has nothing to
do with "Jew" as the name Of a
race or religion.
In France many centuries ago
the first such instrument was
devised and called the lieu
tromp," literally the "play
trumpet" " When the term came
into English, it became "jew
tromp." Later still, the trumpet
idea was lost and the "harp"-
which the instrument vaguely
resembles-was added.

And a block from the Mad

Also downtown is the IS

Washington hasn't quite
become the convention capl-
tai of the Nation yet. But it's
on its way.
The city is experiencing its
biggest surge in hotel and
motor inn construction since
the suburban motel boom of
the mid-fifties. Much of the
current building is in the
downtown area.
The result:
"There is no convention we
could not now house." says
Austin Kenny, assistant ex-

ecutive director of the Wash
ington Convention and Visi-
tors Bureau. "The only thing
we still lack is a major meet
ing facility or convention
hall"
Here is what has happened.
BY the end Of this year, the
number of hotel rooms in the
city will have increased rs per
cent in two years, according
to Bourbon A. Dawes, execu-
tive vice president of the Ho-
tel Association of Washing
ton.
