By EU6ENE BURNS Ranger-Naturalist In the waters of the earth there are more than 30,000 dif ferent kinds of fish, almost eight times as many as warm-blood ed mammals, and their ways of reproducing their kind are many. Some fish, like the ling cod and the ocean sunfish simply cast millions upon millions of eggs into the open sea trusting to chance, they will be fertil- Ized. Most inefficient but by their tremendous numbers, they ucceed in propagating their own kind. Fish like the salmon and trout have improved upon this chance method by pairing up. The female prepares a nest in the gravelly river bed and lays her eggs into it while her mate fertilizes them immediately upon extrusion. The timing is perfect. But these are external ly fertilized. Hatch Alive , Some rays have the eggs fertilized within the mother's body where they hatch alive. But, unlike warm-blooded mam mals, these young within the mother are not nourished by her. Actually, there is no more connection between these de veloping young rays and their mother than there is between a hen and the eggs on which she Is sitting; the female's body is merely the nest in which the eggs remain protected until they hatch. Her eggs, just like the hen's, draw upon their own yolk tor nutrition and not upon their mother's bloodstream. But this is not true for many other fish. Fish like the guppy (Mosquito fish), Mexican sword fish, surf fish, common top min nows, and western sea perch and sharks, which are hatched in the mother's body, are nour ished by the mother within her body and bm mature enough to take care of themselves. How do these young feed within the mother? Again, the methods are diverse. Some merely absorb maternal fluids. In others, growths form which bring the membranes of mother and young fish in close con tact. Sometimes, flaps grow from the mother's tissues into the gill openings of the baby young. And in one instance, the embryo actually feeds on the other. Number of Eggs The efficiency of the various methods is attested by the num ber of eggs required to maintain each species: an ocean sunfish may lay 300.000.000 eggs at one spawning. The salmon, much more efficient, will lay about 1.000 eggs per pound that is, a 20-pound salmon will lav about 17.000 eggs. But the fish' which protect their eggs and young by internal fertiliz tion "and carry them within the body after they hatch, have v-erv few young comparatively speaking the number vary ing from four to a hundred or more. The maturity of fish born alive varies. Some are very minute at birth hardly dis cernible. In others, such as the surf fishes, the young are held Worry of FALSE TEETH Slipping or Irritating?

As to be expected, the shark's young are large at birth and well prepared to take care of themselves. But this maturity is carried to an extreme by some of the western sea perches: they give birth to sexually-matured adults.

Free Course Set Up For Jackson County Jackson County has been sel ected by the Highway Lifesavers Committee of Oregon Citizens as one of ten counties where a free course in driver instruction will be offered. One person will be taught the fundamentals of safe driving.
