A Mystery Tliat Scientists Have Not Tet Been Able to Solve. Naturalists long ago studied the com- .jositjon of the gas contained in the swimming bladder of fishes and discov­ ered that it consists of the principal constituents of the air--namely, oxygen, nitrogen and carbonic acid. But these constituents, are not mingled in the fish's balloon in the same proportions as they are in the atmosphere, and besides their proportions do not remain-always the same in the fish. Sometimes the bladder contains hardly any oxygen; at others, oxygen constitutes nine-ttmths of the whole content^.. The variation in the quantity of 'oxy­ gen is somewhat mysterious; and nat­ uralists ..have offered several different suggestions as to.the cause of it.. Some think the fish maybe able to'-control the quantity of oxygen in its bladder by its own will. Biot, a distinguished fYench naturalist, ..thought he had solved the problem by discovering that the propor­ tion of oxygen was larger in. fish that j lived at great depths and smaller in those that lived near the surface of the sea. But quite recently new observations made from the Prince of Monaco's yacht, Princess Alice, seem to prove that Biot Was mistaken and that the deep dwell­ ing fish carry no more oxygen in propor­ tion than do those living in shallow wa­ ter. Some of the fish whose swimming bladders were examined by the natural­ ists on the Princess Alice came from a depth of no less than a mile. They were compared with fish which seldom descend below 200 feet in depth and with others which prefer a depth of about 500 or 600 feet, and all had near­ ly the same proportion of oxygen to afd them in swimming. The variations mentioned above seem therefore to depend upon some other cause than the depth of the fish 's dwell­ ing place. It is these unsettled questions that of- fer to young naturalists some of their most brilliant opportunities for distinc­ tion. It is a great mistake to suppose that there does not remain a plenty of room for discovery in science.--Youth's Companion.
