WHAT SALT MEANS TO A FISH
__
(From La Nature , Paris)
When the crawfish is put into
sea water, or into water artificially
salted, it dies. Inversely, if we put
into fresh water an essentially ma
rine creature like a jelly fish, it
gives up its life as quickly.
The cause of these sudden deaths
has been attributed to poisoning by
salt; but we now know that this is
incorrect. The salt acts chiefly by
its “osmotic” power.
When a fresh water creature is
suddenly plunged into sea water,
the latter attracts, as it were, the
creature’s interior liquids, and “dries
it up,’ ’a frog loses thus one-fourth
(of its weight), especially in the
places where the skin is thin and
the organs delicate, as with the
lungs. These shrivel up and fail to
act, and there is rapid death from
asphyxia.
Likewise, when a marine creature,
saturated with salt, is plunged
I fresh water, it swells rapidly espec
"v at certain points, notably the
'ungs, and cannot maintain life.
On the seashore, however, it is not
unusual to see crabs living as well
in brackish water as in sea water,
sometimes even reaching fresh water
and living a calm but normal life in
nonds. Also flat fish may be found
often in rivers; they have been
caught in the Loire and even in the
Allielf 300 miles from salt water.
In the course of an animal’s life
! modifications occur in its organism
! hat enables it to be more or less
resistant. It is thus that the salmon
can leave salt water to spawn in
! fresh water streams, and that eels
| leave the latter to deposit their eggs
I in the sea.
Fish, in passing from salt to fresh
water, or vice versa, adapt them
1 selves little by little to the new
j medium by passage through estuar
; ies where the degree of salt is in
j termediate. Experimentally the con
ditions may be reproduced by in
creasing or diminishing the saltness;
the trick is to proceed slowly and
progressively. For instance, gold
fish may become accustomed to live
in salt water, which explains their
occurrence even in the Baltic and
Caspain.
These adaptations may take pi a re
in the same individual, or, better
stil' in its descendants. It is an al
most general fact that the progeny
of a creature resists a new environ
ment better than the parents. Thus,
if we salt progressively fresh water
containing darhniidae, these small
crustaceans will finally die, but if
we wait a few days the eggs will
hatch and the young will thrive as
if nothing had happened.
BAD BOYS
(From the Kansas City Star)
Amt most bad boys really good
at heart, after all ?
This paper had a story last week
about 19.648 young men who had
been trained in the reformatories
and industrial schools for bad boys
ir, England who had shown the he
roic spirit in the war. Many had
been killed in action many more
wounded, many had been honored in
different ways, with the Victoria
Cross, distinguished conduct morals,
decorations end so on, and in the
entire number there wras not a cow
ard nor a shirker of his duty.
Every man of them had qualified
for the roll of honor.
And yet each one of those nearly
20.000 mpn had been arrested, pros
ecuted, convicted, sentenced and had
served his time as a bad boy in a
reformatory.
No one who knows what 're
formatories” are will pretend that
thev had much to do with reforming
the boys. The more plausible thine
fo believe is that the boys were not
verv bad to begin with. Their
"nereies had been misdirected, and
when the opportunity came to do
something worthy they rose to it.
The worst attitude that can be as
sumed toward a wayward boy is one
of nagging and hounding and of
persecution. Be patient with him.
Search his hear* for dualities of
goodness and you’ll find them. Thov
are there, always.
