I saw a large school of them in shallow water at the water surface under a dock, Mrs. Rex Silvers, Miami Beach, Fla A. From your descriptidn it appears quite certain that the fish you saw were baby mullet of some species. When very small, these fish have bright silvery spots in the center of the back, but these spots soon disappear as the fish grow larger. These silver-spotted mullet are the smallest stage that has been ob- served so far, time and place where mullet beach and later several at the} since the exact} of} said, “You see, I foyer space ee rap) the house suite and the elevator. He paused pany em Gre for an bear easy moment en push the buzzer firmly. spawn is not known with cer- tainty, although this is believed to take place in deeper water. Q. Has a television camera-ever been lowered to great’ depths to ascertain the existence of deep sea creatures? A. At present this has not*been done, due to the mechanical and technical difficulties involved, but almost certainly something of the sort will be tried in the future. Underwater television is now being done successfully in the shallower waters where there is adequate illumination, but for deeper water, high-powered searchlights, as well as pressure- resistant housing, will have to be developed especially for the purpose. Q. Does a fish weigh less when immersed in water? A. No. Because a fish’s body is of almost the same density as the water surrounding it, it is practically weightless if weighed under water. On the other hand, if a bucket of water is placed on a scale and a fish dropped into the water, it willbe seen that the weight will increase by that of the fish. This will be the same as if more water had been added to the bucket. Q. Is it true that freshwater springs are sometimes found in the sea? A. Yes, this sometimes occurs in coastal areas. There are several known submarine river outlets in the sea near Cuba, but perhaps the best known is located two- and-a-half miles out in the At- lantic, east of Crescent Beach, tones called’ am ineuiry thee ones ci an ing the closed door.

The revolver moved with him as the detective crossed the room and found a chair facing the ter- race. He looked at Phillips curi- ously. The corseted illusion of compactness was gone. The flesh liquefying. The sick-looking face was even paier than before; the eyes, brows, mouth looked like penciling on a calcimined parch- ment.

Across the room, at the foot of a gleaming grand piano, were two trim Gladstone suitcase. A fading sticker on one of them in Deve- reaux’. view read “Ber- muda, the Vacation “ “Taking a trip, huh?” Deve- reaux met Phillips’ burning dis- like solemnly. He pointed thumb loosely. “That wouldn’t be the mui gun?” Philli ‘lowered resentfully, disdaining i imputation, and Devereaux continued, “A small- caliber gun killed Longo, Castle, and Latimer.” He gestured at the bags. “You're and ready to skip.” Some moments later, after a silence, the detective observed, “How far can you get?” First Plane near St. Augustine: So much fresh water rises at this point that a “bubble” is formed, but part of the force is due to the lighter density of the fresh water rather than the spring forcing it to the surface. Q. Why do fish sometimes gulp air at the surface of the water? A. This phenomenon, often ob- served in places where the water "has a poor oxygen content or where fish are kept in a bucket of “stale” water, is sometimes misinterpreted. The fish seldom but instead Breathe that portion of the water that is in close con- tact with the air, and hence, richer in oxygen. Often mullet and top minnows (Cyprinodonts) may be seen gulping at the sur- face, but they are usually feed- when they do this and are not seeking oxygen.

It’s the Arilé viking, a new Douglas DC-6B bearing the dragon insignia of the Scandinavian air- lines system. It cleared the run- way at International airport here at 8:40 a. m. (Pacific Time) for a flight to Copenhagen, Denmark, via Thule Air Base, Greenland. Aboard were 22 passengers and a flight staff of 13. Ambassadors from Denmark and Norway--Henrik de Kauffman and Wilhelm M. de Morgenstierne -- headed the list of passenger di nitaries including Col. Bernt Bal- chen, Norwegian-born director of installations for the U. S. Air Force, and Frederick B. Lee, deputy civil aeronautics adminis- trator. The 24 and %-hour flight will | cover a minimum of 5,852 miles. Estimated arrival time is 10 p. m. about one billion dollars. ‘OZARK IKE today, Copenhagen time. .
