G. Boulenger in' this article in the London Daily Telegraph. • It has recently been realized that the nature and abundance of this life has an. important bearing upon the movement of food fishes, especially the herring. With the co-operation of survey ehips, trawlers, aud merchant vessels, efforts are now being made to study these plankton areas exhaustively. A remarkable contrivance, now under- going'special tests in the North Sea, ;can collect a complete record of the 'plankton met with in the course of a 400 -mile journey, The appliance re - !gambles a large kodak iilim, the two 18110015 being towed behind the ship.

Bird's Curiosity Naturalists are constantly deploring the devastating effect of progress as applied to the wild, and regard the machine as the greatest enemy of Na- ture: The animals themselves some- times take a different view of the situation, as was amusingly demon - stinted recently on two islands, Santa' Rosa and Don Martin, oft the' coast of Peru. These Iolanda have for cen- turies been the chosen resorts of a species of cormorant, whose vast de- posits of guano caused it to be rigor- ously protected. Lately, however, caterpillar tractor& were Introduced to clear the guano, and the birds, so far from being Scared, evinced such curiosity that work was rendered almost impossible and the "time saving" machine was forced to move at a suall's pace en the midst of a trintphant procession. Mice Under Light Many people we know turn day In- to nto night, aud yice versa, either Cor pleasure or work. Dr. M. S. Johnson, of the University of Minnesota, has discovered that if a mouse is kept lu the dark by day and in the light by night it reverses the uatural rhythm of its life. The mice in the experl- ntents were put in cages hung ou rub- ber bands and so connected with the recordiug apparatus that any activity on the "mouse front" was at once set down. By turning on the light at night the mice had sixteen hours' wakefulness, and slept for eight hours during the day time. As the result of Prolonged training, the mice, when they returned to normal conditions, kept to their new way of life, German Girl Students 01 the 132,000 students is German colleges and universities, about 18,500 are women, according to the latest available data.

Treasure Hunting By SAMUEL SCOVILLE, Jr. Author, of "Man and I'leaat," "Lords of the Wild," and; many other ' native books When 1 have caught- sty first' trout of Ilia year and found my fleet bird's neat, thea 1• feel that spring has indeed arrived. To me a nest is always full of revealments of the personality of the birds who made ILThere are also little mysteries about certain nests that even the most expert ornithologists have not yet fathom- ed. Why ;do crested flycatchers have to have a east -off snake skin In their nests before they will lay in them? Why does a chipping sparrow use a hair mattress and a wren a feather bed? How do chim- ney swilte glue together their cres- cent-shaped -nests, made o2 tiny twigs broken from the tops: of dead trees while in full flight, in which they raise their .broode in the dark? Why do long -billed tnarslt wrexis build a number of dummy nests around the one which they finally use? There are a thousand other delightful od- dities on the part of our little brothers of the air. The month of May found me in the • Barrens in southern New Jer- sey, where one day I wandered along a brook which flowed between high bemire of snowy sand. Sa midsum- mer along its slopes grow colonies ot the rare thread -leaved sundew, those carnivorous plants whose' pink. flowers flaunt above traps- and gine selves on swinge aud slides udder a made of • long sticky hairs baited few discouraged looking maples— with drops of honey. Let as un- wary insect alight t0 taste their sweetness and at once It Is ' en- meshed by the hairs, .which fold around it. These pink blossoms flaunting above the long line of dead and dying prisoners always makes me think of that attractive lady mentioned in Proverbs—"whose house goes down to the. chambers of death," Farther along the stream I sat down 'upon a smooth carpet of pine needles to read. One never obtains the full flavor 01 a book until it is read in some hidden place with the Perfume of flowers and the song of birds in the air. Then, as I sat there reading, leaning against the trunk of a pitch -pine, a little grating noise On the bank caught my ear, and 1 saw moving towards me across the snowy sand a Prince of the Barrens, a five-foot blacksnake. With head up, his .smooth body flower across the stones with a cer- tain infernaldignity, and his ton- gue played around his grim mouth like a forked black flame. I sat perfectly still, and he came on and on, his head held fully a toot above the ground, and anther - ed across that ono of my legs and their the' other. As he moved he, turned his head front side to side, evidently on the alert, aud once his flat, lldies.t, glittering eyes louked squarely into mine, yet he evident- ly did not recognize ree as any ilv ing thing. I could gee his lead - blue belly, the gunmetal black of his smooth scales, his milk -white elfin and throat. When he had crossed my legs I stirred slightly. At the fleet movement Ise flashed across the sand like the flick of a whiplash and disappeared. Earlierl in the mouth four of us had made a "century run," during the bird migration, which involves the identifying of 100 different kinds of birds between dawn and dark. While on this rue we skirted the famous Charlestown Woods out- side of Haddonfield. From the depths of the woods we heard a frantic caw- ing of crows so fierce and prolonged that we were sure that those sky pirates were On the trail Of an owl. So we plunged into the woods and soon saw a burly, round -headed bird flap through the air pursued by crotl'a—it was a great -horned owl, seeking refuge in some thick tree. ' As we came back to our trail, there wan a quick ecurrying itt the underbrush as it some targe ani- mal ,had been disturbed, and oat into the open flapped the black body of a turkey vulture. We realized that elle must have been nesting nearby. We reached the spot where the vul- ture'had flown up and hunted here and laurels, sweet pepper bush, and there tor her nest, Ordinarily a vul- ture chooses a hollow Icg or a cave for a nesjdng place, but as there was none of these in the offing we knew that somewhere- on the bare ground. the grim bird's eggs awaited oar finding.

As we stooped to examine • the e4gs, there came a sharp hiss above, and we looked up to see a great, dingyblack bird.with naked red head and malevolent eyes regarding us from a dead tree not 30 feet away. - When we shouted at her, the another vulture flapped heavily away only to drop down ell - eptly from mid -sky later and hiss threateningly at us from various trees tear her 'eggs.

In an in- stant the tiny, swift bird had reedit- ed her opoiaent, 20 tunes her size, and prodded him repeatedly with her long needle-like bill. The grackle made no attetrtpt. to defend himself but squawked with. pain and flew away at full speed. The hunt - ming -bird gave him one final jab and buzzed back to the tree: We could see by her white throat that she was a female; her nest, looking like a tiny lichen covered knot, was saddled to a limb about 15 feet from the ground.

It is pointed out how- ever, that because prices of farm pro- ducts and values of farm real estate Lave gone down more than taxes in the Last year, farm real estate taxes are 'relatively higher than they wero a year ago. 'In 1913 the average farm tax rate was 68e on $140 of full valuation, that. is, the probable market value of the land. In 1924 the tax rate was $1,22 on full valuation; in 1927 it was $'.87; in 1928, $1.43; and in 1929, $1.40. Because of the 8, per cent. decline in land values, taxes in 1930 were materially .more than $1.50 on $100 of• full valuations.

Yet, approximately, 15 to 20 per cent. of the value of diamonds mined yearly are of industrial use. They are at times called "indus- trial diamonds," and so named be- cause o.- some flaw of color or consti- tution that prevented their being cut and polished for decorative use. Some of these stones are used as cutters and polishers of more precious diamon&s. The "industrial diamond" is changed to powder form and mixed with olive col. It is then smeared upon a soft iron disc revolving at 2,500 revolutions per minute. The diamond to bo cut and polished is laid and weighted crown and the wearing action of the diamond dust eventually creates a gleaming facet upon it. • By means of diamond draw -plates or dies, all types of metas, including the• tungsten filament of the electric lamp, can I e drawn 'finer than human hair. Mining engineers employ the diamond drill. This is a circular tube, steel bit or crown, set with diamonds. Such drills are of great service in cutting out a clean core which can be brought to lhp surface for determina- tion of the nature of the strata. These drills can be forced to a depth of more than 4,000 feet and it is said there is no rock or stratum which the diem,: has failed -to penetrate.
