PARIS (N.AN.A).—Students at Ber- lin University lately have been wit- nessing particularly fascinating experi- ments. They have seen fish being taught to read! Lessons began with the usual kin- dergarten methods. The fish were first of all taught to distinguish colors. Twenty-two species received various kinds of food in different colored bn%a. They opened the bags themselves by pulling the strings. As the same col- ored bags always contained the same foods, they learned in time to distin- guish the colors that contained their favorite food. Then letters of the alphabet were marked on the bags, the same letter being kept always for the same food. The fish have not only been able to compass simple tasks like distinguishing A from Z, but have learned to tell R from B!

Trapping Vagrant Cats, The army of vagrant cats is much greater than most persons think, for the reason that the animals are out of sight during the daytime and do most of their prowling at night. But when they are out of sight the chances are that they are working in some quiet fields catching birds and animals that really have some economic value. The stray cat has none and they take a toll on the song birds, in- sectivorous birds and small animals which are beneficial to mankind. The United States Department of Agricul- ture recommends trapping and destroy- ing these animals. In a recent leaflet the details for the construction of a simple trap are given. In 18 months 50 stray cats were caught in one trap in one city suburb. In another larger city 1,000,000 stray cats were caught and put to death by a humane society in four years: Lawson Love Seat, $29.50 Enjoying its ‘greatest popularity at this time.
