Why Fish Do Not Travel Far.
Anlmuls of both land and aea are
confined within rather narrow limits
of pri-HKure. In hi book on the North
sea fisheries, Neat Green show that
the North sea (lubes are Isolat
ed In their own little world.
for they cannot migrate to the At
lantic depths, and, with a few
such exception as the eel, deep
en linhes cannot enter shallow wa
ter. Foraging for food Is the flan's
occupation. The North sea nshea will
i,ot di-Mfcnd Into the occsn becease
there Is no food to attract, their eyes
are not adapted to the darkness, and
the pressure of tbe water la greater
than ordinary fish can endure. In the
depths there are no seasonal changes,
no currents. Everything la uniform,
stagnant, black, and the only fishes
that can see are those specially en
dowed with enormous eyes to per
reive the phosphorescent glow of oth
ers of their kind. If they could rise
to the conditions of the North sea,
these deep sea dwellers wonld be
helplexs. If not destroyed by the re

Cheese Easily Digested.
Contrary to opinion held by many
people, cheddar or "store" cheese Is
not unusually Indigestible or constipat
ing. Extensive digestion experiments
conducted by the department of agri
culture have demonstrated that more
than 05 per cent of the protein In
cheese Is digested and that 90 per cent
of Its energy Is available. One per
son who ate cheese as tbe chief source
of protein and energy, eating an aver
age of 927 ounces daily for more than
two years, did a fair amount of mus
cular work and remained in good
health.
