Z9aber comes neat With.. sig,.`all of l tom are well knows for their work on public. bodies In several eases the women have. ^desdained parties and are standing as independents. Aside from Viscountess Astor, 'four other candidates are titled: Lady Cooper, mpeal- salt, is awho Conserviseaativeigning and watifWe of Sir Richard Aarmole Cooper, tthe second baronet, who has been a mem- ber for Walsall since 1919. Sir Rich - hard, however, is retiring from polit- ical life, and his wife is hoping to fill his place in Parliament • Lady Cooper comes from Yorkshire, and is the daughter of a clergyman. She is a popular London hostess and en- tertains a great deal at her beautiful town house in Carleton Gardens. The Hon. Lady Barlow belongs to the In- dependent Liberal party and has al- ready had some experience in elec- tioneering. She was one of Mrs. Wintring- ham's workers when that lady took up her campaign in Louth, Lincoln- shire. She is prospective, Independ- ent Liberal candidat'b for the High Peak division and was elected to this position a year ago. ,During that time she has worked in her constitu- ency and has addressed more than seventy meetings already. When the Reforgi Club, one of the leading political clubs gave a banquet for Lord Gladstone at Manchester re- cently, Lady Barlow was chosen as one of the speakers. Lady Currie and Lady Dawson will also represent the I. L. P. The former is a daughter of the late Thomas Danbury, who had the famous gardens at La Mor - Cola in Italy, and wife of Sir James Currie. Lady Currie assisted her husband when he was' director of the training branch of the Ministry of Munitions, and this official depart- mental experience will probably he of heli to her now. She will stand for Devizes and Lady Lawson will contest the seat for Bedford. Among those who are coining for. 1 ward for the first time perhaps Mrs. Coombe Tennant, Coalition Liberal, is one of the most distinguished. Mrs. Tennant is no stranger to pub- lic life. She is a member of the Welsh National Liberal Council and also a J. P., being the first woman to he appointed justice of the peace for Glamgrganshire. It was after she lost her youngson in war the that she became so actively interest - cd in public questions. She was s on the agricultural committee at Clain; - r� organshire and had the unique honor of being nominated by the Prime Minister as advisory woman mem- ber of the British delegation ;tion to the conference of the League of Na- tions. The women in the north of England are mainly interested in the progress of Mrs. Burnett Smith, the wife of Dr. Burnett Smith. She is more widely known as Annie S. Swan and is both a writer and speak- er. She began her career as an author by contributing to local papers and writing for children, her first success being "Aldersyde," in 1897. Since then she has written many books and countless sctories. In 1918 she visited the States and Canada and gave a number of lec- tures on Britain's aim in the war. Mrs. Burnett Smith will make Glas- gow her scene of campaign and she is put forward by the I. L. P. Another notable person is Dame Helen Gwynne Vaughan, a Unionist candidate, She is a professor of botany to the University of London, a distinguished position, and holds the Trail medal of the Linnaean So- ciety for her researches into proto- plasm. For a while she filled the deputy chair of convocation at her university and has held many other important academic positions. She was commandant in France of Queen Mary's Army Auxilary Corps and it was she who supervised all the de- tails of the laying out of the camps. It was due to hoe wise, though firm discipline that the "Waacs," as this corps was known, became such a thoroughly efficient and valuable arm of the British service. Another scientific would-be candidate is Mrs. Ogilvie Gordon, who was president of the National Council of Women, which is usually an annual office, from 1916 to 1920, and who has written numerous books dealing with the difficult problems of geology. She was the gold medalist of her year in zoology, and comparative anatomy at the University of London, and in 1895 she took the degree of Ph.D. in geology and palaeonology at the University of Munich. This last was a record achievement, as the sen- ate of the Munich University had nev- er before bestowed the degree on a woman. Mrs. Gordon is one of the Coalitionhliberal's, and her campaign will be waged at the old cathedrel town of Canterbury. The Labor par- ty's most prominent woman candidate is Miss Margaret Bondfield, who has been very much to the fore lately as a leader of trade unionism among her sex. She has been an official repre- sentative at many Labor and Socialist conventions, not only in this country, but in Europe, and in the States.

You may imagine you can tell a fish's age by its size and ' weight These have nothing to do with it, for the size and weight of a fish depends en the feeding ground§ that the fish frequents. The fish really tells its own age just as a tree does—by its rings. You cut or saw a tree down, and count the rings on the fiat round surface of the trunk—each ring rep- resents one year. The fish with scales has rings also, but not in its body. They are on the scales protecting its body. Put a fish scale under a magnifier, and you notice the scale is covered with little rings—some close together and some farther apart. When the fish grows slowly because food is scarce and the luster is chilly, these rings lie close together, but when food is plentiful and the water is warmer, and the fish grows bigger quickly— stretches its skin with good feeding— as it were, then the rings on its scales lie well apart. Each of these rings represent one year in the age of the fish. There is another way. It is by tracing out the markings on what are termed the ear stones of the fish— the tiny hard things got in is inner car, for fish have ears. Put these ear stoners under a powerful microscopic, and you see tiny light and dark rings. Every light ring tells of one year's growth. So, by counting these light rings you arrive at the real age of the fish. If a -fish's age was thus al- ways ascertained, and it told of its weight, w • t ha number of anglers' stories would he proved to be untrue.

PROTECTING THE BANK 'OF ENGLAND Few people are acquainted with the steps taken to guard the Bank of Eng- land, Great Britain's storehouse of wealth, in London. Provision is made for every possible emergency, from fire and burglary to organized attack, while it may be hinted that water would play as im- portant a part in the last-named con- tingency as it would in the first. Armor plate, steel and concrete combine to form an almost impregn- able bulwark against robbery, while the presence in every part of the buildings of the bank's own detectives by day, and soldiers and watchmen by night, means that no unauthorized person can enter without the fact be- ing discovered. If you happen to be in London at _nsh, nil•,; , '�hgAtD��tl o�t�d about ore undyed and`lfty 3+ ars 'a or fee lt( yytcome of the Gordon r$Rta, 41(tI11t hoe been kept up continuousjy aver. 9 For his services each ,8R r - - e- oeives a shilling (25 can 1( from the Mint, While t e Q ate a guinea (;8 %whielil 111 sive td 'a city charity, and a drone*, -to which he may invite a friend. • ' The soldiers are told off to guard various parts of the building, one be- ing stationed in the Console depart- ment, another in the Chinese Loan room, another in the Bonds'depart- ment, and so on, the light being kept on throughout the vigil. Guarding the bank is a privilege enjoyed only by troops belonging to the Brigade of Guards. Although it is unlikely that anyone would attempt to force an entrance to the bank to -day, the feat has been accomplished on at least one occasion. This occurred some years ago, when the directors received an anonymous letter in which the writer claimed to be able to break into the vaults. He added that he would be pleased to meet the directors in this unconven- tional fashion if they would under- take not to bring with them police or military guards. The officials scorned the idea; nevertheless, they turned up at the appointed place, accompanied by de- tectives. Nothing happened, and they retired, satisfied that the letter was a hoax. A few days later they were aston- ished to receive a box taken from the vaults, together with a letter com- plaining of their lack of good faith, and suggesting another meeting. The directors went alone this time, and almost as soon as they reached the vault a largo stone slab in the door was moved, and a man appear- ed. He explained that he had gained entrance through a tunnel leading from a sewer. NEWEST NOTES OF SCIENCE Deposits of platinum have been dis- covered in Northern Brazil.

A form of halter has been invented by a Frenchman to wean young cat- tle without separating them from their mothers. Electric heating units have been in- vented that can be fastened around residence water tanks to heat their contents. The first railway in South Africa to be electrified will be a stretch of 171 miles having a very heavy coal traffic.

Carried rolled when not in use, an Alabama inventor's fender for automobiles drops when a brake pedal is pressed to push a person who may be struck ahead of a car until it stops. The Esthonian government has per- mitted prospecting for petroleum on one of its islands where it is believed to exist as the use of native shale oil for boiler fuel is not a success. To prevent animals suffering if they are caught by a leg and some time elapses before they are found by trappers a trap, has been invented that breaks their necks, killing them at once. A BLINDFOLDED COW FOUND ` HER WAY HOME Cows have not much senile, yet one of these animals has achieved a per- formance that raises a problem be- yond the understanding of the wisest men. How did Suckle find her way, blindfolded, back to her old home, five miles away? The cow was bought at a Matlock farm, andriven straightway to her new pastur'at Brackenfield, five miles distant. Next day she was found placidly chewing the cud in the old foldyard at Metlock.
