FSH VICTORIOUS, WAKES RAS GIGGLE Ras Tallari of Etbiopia Loses | Solemn Face Washington, D, C., July 11—An- other vietory for the fish! He made Ras Taffarl laugh, Cable dispatches tell how the Par. isian hosts of the Prince Regent of Ethiopia took him to the opera, to the zoo, to a motion pleture, to an airplane race and to the museum, And | all the while His Highness was as #olemn as Solomon, his distinguished ancestor, Then, one day, he visited Fontaine- bleau and there he laughed! His mirth was aroused by the antics of the carp In an artificlal pond: Fish Have Muman Appeal, ‘e Incldent Js not surprising,” says a bulletin from the Washington, D, C,, headquarters of the National Geographie soclety, John Oliver La- Gorce, in a communication to the so- clety writes: “Humankind takes a deep intercet in animate things, and fish seem to have a pecullar and potent appeal to man. The child turns from toy and pet to gaze upon goldfish In a tiny bowl; the adult will sit by stream or in a boat by the hour in the hope of landing a ‘string.’ Angling, in fact, makes the whole world relatedy Tt is one of the few eports that knows no flag nor race, | “A striking proof of this Intercst is manifested in the fact that each year the visitors to the New York aquar- fum, located on the tip of Manhattan Island, are twice as many as those who go to the more conspicuous and accessible Metropolitan Museum of Aht on upper Fifth avenue, "May the reason of this fascination not be the racial memory of that far-| gone time when our remote ancestors, | still too primitive to invent weapons to give them sure advantage in hunt- ing wild animals, tugned to stream | and ocean inlet for a palatable, abun- dant, and ever-ready food supply? Aristotle Was Ichthyologist. “The wonder is that science, which | has been defined as ‘intelligent cur- fosity,' should have waited so long to | turn to that field which offers a vast, | unexplored confent of animal crea- | tion. That Protean observer, Aris- totle, studied fish life, but from his| day nearly twenty centuries intervened | before the Swedish savant, Peter | Arfedt, ‘I'ather of Ichthology,” met an | untimely death by drowning in a Hol- | lund canal,but left enough notes of his | observations to enable Linnacus to | publish them (in 1738), and thus es- | tablish a starting point for modern | study of genius and species. “Twice flsh figured importantly in our national life. The insland stran- ger who visits Boston may smile at the sacred oodfish,’ which is 8o con- spicuous in the decoration of the state house; but a study of the Bay State's | early history will impress every Amer- | fcan with the major part fshing | played in the industrial history of his | country. Moreover, the prominence | of fish food in the conservation pro- | gram that helped toward a glorious | vietory in the World War is a matter | of recent memory. | Now Have Many Uses, “Now there is not only the food problem urge to impel scientific study | of fish, but many other fish products, such as cod-liver oil, menhaden oil as a linszed oil substitute, in pain manu- facture, seal oil for miners' lamps, | and the possibilitics of fish guano fertilizer, fish meal as cattle food, shark skin for leather, and fish skins and bones for glue, to warrant a closer scrutiny of the industrial uses of fish. | “Since the dawn of human history, | man has studied land animal and bird life-—in fact, he now knows much of prehistoric creatures long since ex- tiet. But the ‘waters under the earth’ still hold countless fascinating secrets which challenge the ichthyolo- gist, who pursues a branch of science | pertaining to the study of fish life | only a few hundred years old, with a world of sub-sea life (o conquer, | especlally among the warm waters of | the semi-tropic regions. { “Once more, as in its other natural | resources, the United States of Amer- | fea is favored among nailons. Pa leling our eastern coast for hun of miles, the Gulf Stream, that might- | jest river of the ocean, which sweeps | northeastward with such giant force | to turn back the icy waters of the | Arctic from our shores,” performs an- | other and less widely recognized serv- fjce in depositing upon America’s | southeastern threshold a gift of fishes | which eome day may be regarded as | providential, if not miraculous. Tn- deed the map-minded person might | even picture a peninsular hand, in the ghape of Ilorida, reaching out to re- | ceive this boon, ourished in the warm waters of the kindly current.” Willimantic Man Dies During Tennis Game/ Willimantic, Conn., July 11.—Wil-| liam A. Calmen, 51 years old, dropped dead yesterday afternoon while play- ing tennis on the court oppoeite his home 20° Summit street.

Ahandof; Trolley Line And Save Paving Cost Hartford, July 11.—By abandoning its trolley line on Asylum avenue and taking up its track there, substituting | & busline, the Connecticut company | will escape its share of the cost of paving the street, amounting to 33.-| 585, it was learned yesterday.

CHINESE THRONE HEIR IS NOW OUT OF EXILE Youthful Hsuan Tung, Prisoner With- in Walls of Forbidden City For 12 Years 11.—For the first came a virtual pris- walls of the Forbid- den City 12 years ago, when he was forced to abdicate the throne of “hina, the youthful Hsuan Tung has been permitted to venture outside of Peking. He recently motored to the historic summer palace, relic of the folly of the erstwhile empress dow- ager and the scene of many extrava- gant court functions making the days immediately preceding the ,downfall of the Manchus. With his bride of something more than a year, the helr apparent spent hours wandering among the ruins, crossed the minlature lake wupon which the palace faces, and returned to Peking by way of the Jade Foun- tain, another familiar outlying place of interest to foreigners In China and upon which the foung monarch gazed for the first time. July he by Peking, time since oner within the itiful soft Seco Silk in latest lingerie shades, shirred hips, 98¢ The summer palace, which but for the revolutionary outbreak of 1911 and the establishment of the republic, might today have been Hsuan Tung's summ residence, was built by the empress dowager with funds diverted from the purpose for which they were designated, the bullding of & navy, Fifteen million taels, repre- senting at that time approximately $10,000,000 gold, were squandered there. As though in a spirit of deris- ion, one of the features of the palace is a representation of a small pleas- ure craft, built on marble and with its foundations set securely in the water on the edge of the small lake, to serve as a tea-house, Hsuan Tung was accompanied on his outing by various members of the “imperial” lousehold and three daughters of a former regent, Prince Chun.
