Japanese Cottons Regarding the economic significance of his experiments, Dr, Borodin point- ed to tests by Russian scientists who seek practical methods of large-scale freezing of live fish. Foods frozen lose some or their color and natural flavour, especially tish, he said, but the possibilities ot widespread marketing ot frozen live mm are being studied. Salt-water fight cannot be frozen and revived, Dr. Borodin said This, he ex- piained. is because ocean titsh can " ways find open water, making it need- less for nature to provide them with the cold resistance required by species which live in water that freezes. Experiments have proved that, when ted to the sled dogs, the fish is thawed out by the heat of the dogs' bodies, and that its movements within the dog's stomach. before digestion be- gins, have actually been observed. Through Henry O'Malley, commis- sioner ot the Bureau of Fisheries, Dr. Brown lemed that in Alaska the blacknsh is used extensively for feed- ing sled dogs, because ot its freshnesa when frozen. _ Thus he explained that quick treez. ing processes now applied to tish and many kinds ot food are sure to kill all fish species long before they reach the frying pan, although he believed it con- ceivable that a hiackiish might live for some time frozen without water. The carp and the decorative troldtuh are, next to the blachfissh, the hardieat with which he has experimented. i He reported that continued freezing only! the water for an hour at a tem- penture of slightly below zero. Fah- renheit, will prove fatal to any tUh, although the blacknsh will survive this severe test for 40 minutes. Moat hardy ot all the fishes used by Dr. Borodin Is the common Alaskan blttektitsh, which has successfully sur- vived freezing tests In its native habi. tat. The scientist has attempted to re- rproduce the conditions existing in ilhnllow ponds and streams of Alaska, which freeze solidly in temperatures tar below zero. He found that certain plant life in the water acts as inaula~ tion around the body of ttshes, prevent. ing them from becoming "hard" frozen. and that the titrhes live for months in the frozen streams, regaining anima. tion with the seasonal thaws. l By its action nervous shocks are sent through the body of the fish, re. taining the spark ot life which spreads through the body tissues and vital or- gans during the process or thawing oat.

Boro. din, curator ot fishes in the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology. Dr. Borodin explained that lite in fish can be suspended by freezing only as long as the heart remains unfrozen; Every other organ of the fish may turn) to ice, or its equivalent, but the heart! must go on beating. 1 Fish Resume Life After Freezing Tests In Alaska Show They Live on If All Organs But Heart Turn to Ice " 'My dear Warwick Beeping,' I re- plied, I have known you since you were I little fellow in knickerbockers, so I have some claim on your kind- ness.

"You will come with Us, yes'.'" She seemed to be asking some priceless boon, when, as a matter oi fact, she was merely asking them to dinner. Mary looked away in disgust. “We celebrate my winning," the other woman prattled on. She and? dled the old man's arm ithin her own, lowered her voice coquettishly. "These people must be made gay. They are very bad gamblers, these foolish ones-they bet on the favor- ite!" She lifted sleepy, malicious eyes to Mary, let them slip ove; the girl insolently, before turning to the old man again. "One should nev-air bet on the favorite to win, Monsieur lr) piter, isn't that so?" i I /Mr. Jupiter had included the woman in the party, partly as a gesture of ',eoneilitrtion toward Bruce, partly be- cause her nominal status as a matron gave Mary chaperonage, cf a sort.

Well, he did not seem to be reeoiling from it too visibly, she de- cided, as she glimpsed the white-linen clad form of the old man seated on a divan in a far corner of the lobby, the Countess beside him. Although there was ample room on that long couch, she sat closely at his side, her plump white hand patting his arm. Bruce stood, looking about in a bored manner. With an effort Mary forced herself to-go forward since they were: evidently waiting for her. Bates touched her arm. "You lis- tening?" he said sharply. "What I mean is if anybody copped her boy- friend. now, she'd shoot, get me?" Mary laughed. "Nothing is further from my thoughts," she waved him away. 0b- viouely he had misunderstood the mock gallantry with which Bruce treated her. Angrily she resolved to free herself of Bruce.
