'L Krasnogorski, eminent Russian physiologists, whose experi- ments with reflex actions in animals and children have given physiology | « some new theories. The pictures, now in New York, will be exhibited to medieal socie- tlea and university faculties. They show the experiments~ by which the acientists sought to dcmon- strate that the brain is only e storehouse for reflexes, either in- born or acquired, and that the complex actions of the cerebral hemispheres are largely more ap- parent than real.

NUMBER OF FISH IN LAKES I§ LESS Science Trying to Find Why They Are Fewer Washington, Feb.'2¢ UP—A con- centrated effort to restore the rapid- ly dwindling fisheries of the Great Lakes will be made this year by the United States bureau of fisheries with the co-operation of such other | agencies as are able to help. In the last few years, despite an | enormous increase in the use of | fishing ggar to wnaintain the sup- ply, the catch from Lake Erle, which | produces about half of the total 10 DRESS S0 WELL Official in Berlin Discards His Dress Coat Corpus Christi, Tex. Feb. 24. (P— Thwarted in four efforts to snuff out a blazing fire in the Saxet Com- pany gas well near here, Tex Thorn- ton, experienced oil and gas well fire fighter, will try his “ace in the Lole" treatment of nitroglycerin and a flood. A huge earthen reservolr, four feet high and two acres square, is being built as close as possible to the blager, which is consuming more than $24,000 worth of com- merclal gas daily and which has blazed since January 19 with a loss already of more than $500,000 in crude oil. The basin will be pumped full of water. Then Thornton will don his asbestos suit and creep to the cra- ter's edge with a large shot of ni- troglycerin, With perfect aynchronism the reservoir will be cut near the weh and as the flood of water pours in | has declined at an alarming rate, Figures compiled by Lewis Rad- cliffe, deputy commissioner of the bureau, show that the annual catch | taken from all of the Great Lakes | and, in terms of insurance statistios their “life expectancy.” ‘With this information and the hope to be able to present to the dominion and state goveraments & specific plan for establishment of uniform fishing regulations. ‘The most significant change in the Erle fisheries has been the dras- tic decline in the herring catch. This species has been the most im- portant economically because of the size of the annual catch, amounting to 39,000,000 pounds in the earty '90's. By 1935, however, it had dwindled to less than 3,000,000 pounds, and the 1927 catch indi- cated that, for commercial purposes, the lake herring seemed to be ex. tinet, The catch of white fish dropped from 3,600,000 pounds .in 1885 to less than 600,000 in 1926; sturgeon from 4,727,000 to 7,000 in the same period, and blue. pike, considered not worth taking in the earlier years, from 18,760,000 in 1915 to less than 10,600,000 ten years later. For all species, the Lake Erie catch averaged 58,108,000 during the 13 years from 1913 to 1925, but had declined to 37,719,000 fn the latter year from a peak of 76,048, 000 in 1915, of being branded at'the Texas State Teachers' Collego at Canyon, Tex. where Jersey cattle ralsing s a speclalty, The tattoo marik, made by apply. ing indelible ink just below the skin surface in the ear, isperman. ent _and not as susceptible to ob. literation or alternation as the old branging method used on the west~ ern ranges. 3 Mild Winter Plays Pranks on Shrubs New York, Feb. 344 UP—Botanists at the New York Botanical Garden are a bit confused by some of the pranks played on their shrubs and trees by the mild winter, The Osark witch-hasel and the Chinese witch-hazel have bloomed a month earlier than ever before, but the Japanese variety, usually out at Kenneth R. Boynton, head gar. dener, says the inconsistency of the Ozark and Chinese witch-hasels can be accounted "for by the unusually warm weather that has advanced the growth of other plants at the garden, But he cant’ find a reason for the fickleness of the Japanese specles.
