VOLCANIC ERUPTION BRINGS NEW SPECIES OF FISH TO SURFACE (By Associated Press) HONOLULU, Sept. 23. Varieties of fish hitherto unknown were discovered as a result of the eruption of the volcano of Mauna Loa two years ago. This fact has Just been announced by

Dr. David Starr Jordan, Chancellor

. Emeritus of Leland Stanford, Junior university, California, noted ichthyologist. " x ' The columns of lava burrowed deeper into the ocean than man had been able to penetrate and thousands of fish of strange and fantastic shape and color were killed and washed up on the beach by the tidal wave caused by the lava flow. Among them were found six variefies hitherto unknown to science because their habitat was presumably lower in the water than science had been able to observe. New Species Classified. Amateur ichthyologists in Hilo. Hawaii, selected species which were unknown to them and sent them to Dr. Jordan for examination. The result was that the six new species, were classified. "I consider the discoveries, from a scientific viewpoint, to be among the most remarkable and important on recod," Dr. Jordan said when he made public the classifications here, while he was attending the sessions of the Pan-

Pacific Educational Conference. Each of the six is a deep-water fish. All live in water of more than 150 feet in depth and some as deep as 600 feet. Nothing except such a cataclysm of nature as the Alika flow could have brought them to the surface. Dr. Jordan said. Rhyacanthias Carlsmithl ranged at least 1,000 feet below the ocean's surface, he added. Dr. Jordan has sent to the Smith

sonian Institute in Washington, D. C

The mice were short-tail mice, pine mice and meadow mice. Some of them worked underground and some on the surface. Some of them worked at night and some during the day. Poison did not at first tempt these animals because they . enjoyed the , tender roots of the fruit trees more than any bait which was offered, and also because the rain and dew washed the poison off the bait. Professor Silver, none the less, ultimately succeeded in poisoning a good many of them by placing the most tempting baits in glass cases which the mice could enter, but which protected the bait from the weather. He also caught many of the animals by the use of small steel traps. The third measure was that of warning all of the surrounding farmers not to kill hawks

or owls, as these birds are the greatest natural enemies of all kinds of mice and rats. ' , As a result of all these measures the mouse and rat population of the experimental farm has been greatly reduced, and it seems certain that the animals will not succeed in thwarting some lines of government work there, as they seemed about to do. The work is perhaps" most important as a demonstration of what can be done. Doubtless many a farmer has despaired of his orchard because of the rodents. He should take heart. By persistence and the use of right methods, rats and mice can be exterminated everywhere, from the city cellar to the farthest outlying farm.

lie Government Fights Rats By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WASHINGTON, D. C, Sept. 23. It has recently been demonstrated in two quarters that the government of the United States is more than a match for rats and mice. This is no slight compliment. Generally speaking, the rate and mice have

trouble with killing rats in a zoo is that if poison is used, other animals are sure to eat, while w ith traps there is more or less danger to them. In

(By Associated Press) ROME, Sept. 23. Much indignation has been aroused in Italy by the proposal that, in determining the expenses of the League of Nations. Italy should be assigned to the second category. The Italian's national pride has been hurt by the suggestion and columns have appeared in the press protesting against the idea of relegating the country to a position inferior to other great powers. According to the suggestion. Great Britain and France would be placed in the first category while Italy and Japan would occupy the second. The price of being registered in the first category is 2,300,000 francs a year while those of the second pay but 1,600.000 francs a year. The Epoca gave expression to its feelings in this manner: : Fears Future Sentiment.

"The affair is exceptionally unpleasant. Italy which has so potently contributed to the victory cannot see. herself assigned to the second category, as people who spend little are assigned to a restaurant of the second class." Then, too, the fact that most of the organization and secretaryships of the league are in the hands of the British constitutes another source of complaint. It is pointed out that the secretariat of the league consists of 170 members, of whom 90 ai; English and 50 French while Italy has no more than a dozen. "After France and England have monopolized nearly all the offices, after the British Empire has succeeded in

having seven votes in the assemly, it! could not happen otherwise than Italy) is assigned in the second category," i says one commentator. "If others have I a greater material potentiality, it is! at least necessary that Italy safeguard! her moral position by not allowing :

herself an inferior position to the others."

to prevent it. The facts about the damage done by rats and mice, and the rate at which they increase, as ascertained by the learned professors of the Biological Survey, have been

published before, but it is necessary here to state them again so that you will be sure to appreciate the importance of this subject. Be it known then that rats and mice in this country every year destroy property valued at $200,000,000 and that an army of 200,000 men may be considered as employed solely in supporting these little household and garden pests. The common brown rat breeds six to ten times a year and a pair of rats in three years would have 359,709,482 descendants if all the children lived and did well. The wonder is that there is room on earth for anything except rats. The Government recently found that several parts of its premises in and about Washington were rapidly approaching a condition in which the rats were the main thing and the governmental activities incidental and somewhat unprosperous. The most conspicuous of these places was the National Zoo. There were a great many more rats in the zoo than all other animals combined, and the rats probably ate a great deal more of the

rabbits, guinea fowls and turkeys roam

the grounds at large. The zoo officials therefore let the rats more or less alone, .but after a

while the zoo became inadequate for

their support and they began invading the residences which fringe it on all sides. The residents raised a howl of protest. They demanded that the government either keep its rats at home or kill them. The Biological Survey, which has a corps of scientific experts in the extermination of all kinds of predatory animals, was called into consultation and a man was detailed to the zoo problem. He solved it by the use of spring traps. The zoo rat colonv

it is learned, has been greatly reduced! of the mouse and rat family.

and it is confidently expected that it will be abolished. The destruction of rats and mice on a large scale is a problem for experts. The Biological Survey is willing to

give advice on the subject and those j who are losing money through the! work of rats should consult it. Traps j must be used in some places - and I

poison m others, while in yet others rat-prtofing is the only effective measure. All of these things must be done right to be effective. Dr. Fowler, the Public Health Officer of Washington, has issued a special warning sgainst the careless use of -poison.

Insane, which swarmed with rats even (more than did the zoo. Veritable herds of them could be seen on the grounds in broad daylight. It is said that in

this place, too, good progress is being made in the work of extermination. Rats Killed Trees. The government's most distressing rat problem, however, is now being .net on the experimental farm at Arlington, Virginia. . This rich tract of land, which was formerly the estate of General Robert E. Lee, is now used by the Department of Agriculture for experimental work. It was recently discovered that 40 fruit trees on the farm were dying as the result of damage done to their roots by mice and rats

working underground, while it was probable that a great many other trees

had been weakened in the same way. And these were no ordinary orchard trees. Each of them had some special (-xperimental significance, and each of them represented 20 years of care. It will take another 20 years to replace them. Professor Silver, the most eminent of the Biological Survey rodent killers, was assigned to this important case. He found that it was an appalling

example of the variety and versatility

For one

kind of rat and three kinds of mice were at work in this valuable orchard.

Frenchman First Studied Northern Lights in 1621 The name "aurora borealis" was first used by Cassendi, who, in 1621, observed one in France and wrote a description of it. The "aurora" is periodic in its manifestations, the finest displays being at intervals of 60 years and less marked ones at intervals or 10 or 11 years. It is asserted that the greater and lesses displays correspond with the increase and decrease of spots on the sun.'

This phenomenon Is generally manifested in the following way: A dim light appears on the horizon shortly

after twilight and gradually assumes the shape of an arch having a pale vellow color with Its concave side

turned earthward. From this arch streams of light shoot forth, passing from yellow to green and then to brilliant violet. The name aurora borealis, while generally referring to the northern lights, also is applied to a similar phenomenon visible in the vicinity of the South Pole.

the other inmates. Visitors in the zoo could, see rats at any time, and in the

evening they could observe them extensively. The rats frolicked about the walks in large family parties, going from one enclosure to another sampling the different kinds of food. They paid no attention at all to the visitors, and if a rock was thrown at them they registered resentment rather than fright. Zoos Homes for Rats.

If you have more faith In the inspired Word of God than in the traditions and creeds of men, you will appreciate this message. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
