Do sea fishes ever bear their | | young alive? A, Although there are proport- | ionately fewer live-bearers among ! marine fishes than among those; found in fresh water, several good examples are known, among them \the surf-fishes (Embiotocidae) of the Pacific coast of North America. These small perch-like fishes pro- duce quantities of living young of | quite large individual size, in con- trast to their relatives, the Pom-; acentridlae of coral reef areas, | which are all egg-layers. Although most members of the bass-like Scorpaenidae or scorpion fishes lay | eggs, one species known as the | rosefish or ocean perch, Sebastes marinus, produces living young, | and a great many sharks and rays are also live-bearing. Popularly considered a live bearer, the sea- horse (Hippocampus) cannot be placed in this category since the eggs are doposited by the female | before incubated in a special brood | pouch and hatched by the male. | Q. What is the “‘American Med- iterranean?” A. “American Mediterranean” is | a name applied by some oceanog- | raphers to the Gulf of Mexico and | the Cayman and Caribbean Seas, | collectively. These bodies of water, partially enclosed by the West In- dies and the Antilles bear a super- ficial resemblence to the various parts of the European Mediterrean Sea. The comparison is not a good one however, because the Euro- pean Mediterranean is situated well inland and, save for the narrow and comparatively shallow Straits of Gibralter, is without an outlet The Gulf and Caribbean on the other hand are freely circulating with both inflowing and outflowing currents of considerable import- ance. Q. Is the lamprey a fish? A. Despite its fishlike appear- ance, the lamprey (Family Pter- amyzonidae) is not considered to be a true fish, since it has no true jaws and the skull is scarely dif- fenentiated irom the rest of the spinal column. Eel-like in appear- ance, the lamprey is highly des- tructive of other fish along the At- lantic coast and in the Great Lakes (it lives equally well in salt or fresh water), as it attaches itself to the bodies of other fish by means of its tooth-studded funnel-like mouth and rasps away the flesh with its tongue, causing large sores on the body of its host. Although the lamprey is edible it is seldom | eaten in this country because of popular prejudice toward this spec- | ies. Q. Do mullet water? A. Probably not. The spawning habits of the mullet (Mugilidae) are still unknown to biologists, but it is probable that this takes in the sea and not in fresh water. Mullet frequently ascend rivers and streams during rainy spells and occasionally may be found in land- locked lakes. On the approach of the breeding season, the roe- lad- en mullet work their way down- stream into the sea and in all pro- | bability move out into deep water to lay their eggs. Although mullet approximately an inch longer ap-' pear in large numbers sometime later, specimens smaller than this have not been identified as yet. spawn in fresh | Want a quick supper dish?

Disalle Tiana To Wash. ‘To Discuss Price Controls Stabilization (OPS), Ellis Arnall and Tighe Woods. Arnall resigned Aug. 6 and Woods announced two days ago that he is quitting at the end of this month. Putnam, who is on record as favoring a 14-month extension of wage and price controls, made public a letter to Disalle in which it was indicated that Disalle agrees on the need for keeping anti - inflation controls. Sen. Maybank (D-SC) said Mon- day that the White House is con- sidering abolishing controls before the new Congress convenes, and some administration officials are known to favor such a course, The White House, however, said Presi: dent Truman has no such plans. Putnam said Disalle is expected here the early part of next week. Putnam said Disalle will study the controls problem “both as to organization, administration and of Price | policies with a view to making CHANCES ARE FADIN' AST CAUSE THEY TH BAWL ON OUR 9; “But, Clay—you can't stay here until it’s over!

Mobilization officials said Put- nam handed his recommendations some days ago to Defense Mobili- zation Director Henry H. Fowler, whose wrapup of recommendations for new legislation is now being readied for the White House. PARENTS CHECK CHILDREN’S ENGLISH BINGHAMTON, N. Y. # — Pa- rnts of pupils in grades 7 through 12 of city schools will have a better chance to keep tabs on their. chil- dren's progress in English because of a new plan adopted this year. Pupils are required to submit pertinent copies of the English cur- riculum to their parents. The plan developed when parents attending a meeting of the secondary educa- tion council admitted they didn’t know just what their children stuu- died in school. Pilgrimages have been part of the practices of many religions.
