How Long Can
A Fish Live?
•
Two large carp which- were
stolen from a lake in In Austrian
public park were estinutted to .
the so old that they had been
registered under the Austrian t
°Mee for the Preaervation .of
Aneitint IVionuments. The thief
was heavily fined.
But experts who have bern I
situdying stories about the great
stg's to Whieli many of these
'freshwater fish are said to live
are saying bluntly that the so-. •
called longevity of 'arp is duel --
011e
"Carp certainly don't become
centenarians nowitatityis and it's
very doubtful if they .ever did,'
slays one. "The greatest age for
sa carp Tor which we- have reit-
sable evidence. is forty years."
Yet fantestic in or tea about
tarp centenarians are likely to -
linger in many parte ol the
world.
Strange. methods for recording :
the age of a fish were once
etiolated if the story about a carp
found in a pond in Swabia ean
early Duchy of Germtmyt in
1497 is true.
The fish is said to have had
in its gills a metal ring bearing
the following inscription in La-
tin: "I am the first fish that was
ever put into this pond by the
bend of Frederick II, Governor
of the World, on the 5th clay of
October, A.D. 1230."
According to this the carp
:must have been at least 2117
years old.
Many years ago u giant carp
weighing 281/2 lbs. taken to the
aquarium at the London Zoo
was nicknamed Methuselah be-
cause it was believed to be very
old. This gave rise to the story
that it was 150 years old. One
-writer hailed it as "the biggest
fish in Europe."
Carp in Britain are usually
kept as interesting additions to
ornamental waters. But in parts
el Europe, particularly in Russia
Sind Poland, the carp is a popu-
iar food. Great farms, with acres
et breeding, rearing and fatten-
ing ponds, supply a ready mar-
ket.
An Egyptian King
Tell His Story
The young king's ;accession to
pm throne came at a moment
in Egyptian history' when, thanks
to almost two centuries of un-
paralleled achievement both at
home and abroad, the country
was at the pinnacle of its politi-
eal power, economic prosperity,
and cultural development. More-
over, the world was at peace and
there was leisure for the ruler
and the people ol Egypt to en-
joy the many pleasures and lux-
uries which life now had to
offer thein and to indulge to the
full a truly oriental penchant
for opulence and display.
Typical in every respect of
the brilliant setting over which
he presided, Amunhotpe III con-
trived throughout his long reign
to combine the unwavering pur-
ant of all manner of worldly
pleasures with a program of
self -glorification more elaborate
and on a far grander scale than
any previously undertaken.
The king's desire that his
every action be made known
to the world is attested by the
extraordinary series of large
commemorative scarabs which
he caused to be issued during
his first twelve years on the
throne and which, like modern
var.
ATOMIC SUB HITS THE WAVES — Queen Elizabeth pulls the
lever to launch Britain's first nuclear submarine, the Dread-
nought, at Barrow-in-Furness,
newsletters, were distributed
throughout the country and even
dispatched to the more distant
outposts of the empire,
The first series of these scar-
abs, carved at the very begin-
ning of the reign, announces the
pharaoh's marriage to Teye, a
woman of non -royal birth; and
with engaging frankness, which
is repeated on many of the king's
later monuments, gives the
names of her untitled parents,
Yuya and Tjuyu, adding, how-
ever, that "she is (new) the
wife of a mighty king" whose
empire extends from Karoy in
the northern Sudan to Naharin
in western Asia. Three scarabs
of this series, acquired by the
Museum with the Ward, Murch,
and Carnarvon collections, are
made, as are most of their mates,
of glazed steatite and measure
between three and three and se
half inches in length. Character-
istically, the first five lines of
the ten -line announcement in-
scribed on their undersides are
taken up witit the titulary of
the king; "(Long) live the
Hants, Strong -bull -appearing -in -
truth, He of the Two Goddesses,
Eetablisher-of-laws-(and-) Paci-
fier - of - the - Two - Lands, the
Horus of Gold, Great - of -

atics, the King of Upper and.
Lower Egypt, Neb-ma'et-Re', the
Son of Re', Amunhotpe, Ruler of
Thebes, given life!" — From
"The Scepter of Egypt," by Wil-
liam C. Hayes.

who exchanged his car for a bi-
cycle saves his money in a dis-
carded automobile gas tank. The
device is neatly fitted with a slot
for depositing money. When
questioned, our ingenious friend
confided he was following the
habit of his motoring days—put-
ting all his money in the gas

Bow To The Prince
Or Land In Jail
On a recent visit to his native
India, Dom Moraes, poet and
youngest Hawthornden Prize-
winner, etayed at the palace of
a Rana, one of the feudal lords
who had life -and -death power
over their subjects until 1951.
"All the corridors," he writes,
"were hung with framed illus-
trations from magazines, alter-
nating with the heads of assail-
sinated tigers, and photographs
of dead Ranas, tiger -whiskered,,
soulful -eyed and clutching jewel-
led swords."
On one occasion Moraes was
sitting with a friend waiting to
be received by his host. An en-
ormous Himalayan bear crouch-
ed next to the sofa, He assumed
it was stuffed — until it snarled
et him, rose and shambled out
through the door?
All over Khatmandu, he says,
Ranas, originally Indian prince-
lings, built fantastic palaces
where they lived surrounded by
women they had abducted from
their families. When a Rana
passed, any citizen who failed to
do obeisance till he was out of
sight was flung into jail.
As late as 1942 the chief Rana
would ride an elephant through
the streets every month, while
the women stood outside their
houses. Whichever of them took
his fancy were at once seized by
soldiers and taken to his harem.
Any husbands or fathers who
protested were jailed, Halembu,
a mountain village renowned for
its beautiful women, was raided
and every woman taken off to
the harems,
One of the Rana's suns told
Moraes that his father wanted
to send him to Eton. To finance
the trip they had to go to the
family had, the grandfather,
who flew into a rage and said:
"No grandson of mine will be
permitted to defile himself by
crossing the black waters to
England. But I will be reason-
able. if you like, you may hire
all the masters from Eton and
bring them here."
Later, the grandfather fell ill.
A British surgeon was fetched
from India, He found that the
palace was on top of an unroad-
ed hill and wondered how on
earth he could get his equip-
ment up. That night he slept in
a tent at the foot of the hill —
and awoke next morning to find
o road leading from his tent
door to the palace gate. It had
been built in six hours by slave-
gangrelaya working through the
night!
