Blushing Venus Found in Africa • Strange Visitor From Honduras Tells Age of Salmon by Lines on Scales Seattle, Wash.—Salmon nnd trout, like rattlesnakes, have a way of tell ing their age, according to John N. Cobb, director of the college of fish eries of the University of Washington. "Every year adds a series of half circles to the scales of trout and sal- mon," said I >enn Cobb. "Each series Is distinguishable from the preceding ones by a line. The lines are similar to those on a cross-sectlcn of a tree, and the method of telling the age of a fish is Ilkj that used by woodsmen to ascertain ages of trees. •‘Salmon reveal the amount of food consumed each season. When salmon have n good year with plenty to eat, the lines are wider than in lean years.” Experiment* are being conducted by Dean Cobl in telling the uge of other species of fish. it************************; * Cronies 30 Years, They Die Same Day ; C'dlllac, Mich.—They lived to- ; S This nn mal, strange to northern climes, was found dinging to a bunch of bananas upon arrival In Cincinnati from Honduras.

Fifty-two tractors were used in showing the farmers of the Aisne more progressive methods, and wheat from 125,000 acres was thrashed at three central points. Under the auspices of the ministers of agricul ture and of education demonstrations In American methods of canning fruits and vegetables were carried on for four years In 36 French departments. Including more than 100 domestic sci ence and normal schools. "The Infant mortality,” said the re port, “in the committee's region was reduced to 24 per 1.000, less than 2.3 per cent. The infant mortality in the entire Department of the Aisne was 87 per 1,000. and as a comparative figure the rate for New York city In 1924, which was 6.8 per cent, might be cited.” Ship 6,000 Miles Out Claims Sending Record New York.—A long-distance record for radio transmission from a vessel at sea was claimed for the l,50O-wa:t continuous-wave transmitter of the liner Beb’enland. when the vessel re turned to New York from a round-the- world »voyage.

London.—Having failed to achieve nny world-beating records In aerially racing the wind, John Bull Is trying to harness the “blawsted" gale. An "airplane windmill,” Invented by a Berlin scientist. Major Bilau. is the I backbone of the effort. A specimen of this Invention and four other types ' have been erected on the hilly ground i near Hurpenden, In Hertfordshire, where the Oxford University Institute of Agricultural Engineering has estab lished a testing ground. Englishmen have been so encour aged by the results of the experiments to date E at they already have visions of huge economies and a brighter coun tryside, through the cheap generation of electricity. It is believed that a windmill will eventuate capable of operating all of the plant of a large farm or of sup plying all the needs of the average village—lighting the streets and houses, and, perhaps, running Its "movie" house. After the Installation, It is thought, the cost of operation will be almost nil. All the attention re quired wdl be the visit of a man with an oil can once a month. The steel sails of the Bilau aero- dynamo are mounted on a stout post some thirty feet high. They give the appearance of a greatly magnified air plane propeller. Ths sails are so con structed that suction Is brought Into play to get every possible ounce of turning power from the wind. As the sails receive they set cogs In motion, which operate a dynamo contained in a balloon-like attachment • behind the propeller. The current so generated is carried by wires to the power sta tion. The testing station officials hare found a machine of the older type generates three-quarters of a kilowatt, with the wind blowing at five miles an hour. Under similar conditions, they say, the Bilau machine is appar ently capable of registering at least five kilowatts, or roughly the equiva lent of a seven horse-power motor. Dick Turpin Capes Cloak English Women London. — The highwaymans cape worn by robbers in the time of King George I Is coming into fashion this spring fcr women. Capes generally are In favor, but the style made fa mous by Dick Turpin, 200 years age and other notables in the robbing game have been particularly popular, most ot them dipping far past the waistline, many of them scallopwlse. Among the first to follow this vogue was Miss Ava Bodley, well known In society, who was married recently to Robert Wigram, secretary of the tfrlt- ish embassy In Paris. Mrs. Wigram's golng-away costume Included a cape over a long coat, which matched a pale mlgi onette green dress and green felt hat.
