ELECT!) STOPS
for m m
Seattle. — Saving o£ thousands of
dollars annually for Northwest fish,
hatcneries appears at hand through
the invention of an electric fish1 stop
which has Deen installed at the Den
ver stat© hatcheries, and which
numbers of the bureau of fisheries,
Seal tie branch, say has proved suc
cessful in every way. The North
ern oureau of fisheries plans to ex*
periment with the fish stop ju Alas
ka
The electric fish stop wa$ de
signed to prevent fish from follow
ing wrong streams. Placing of
nets acrogg the mouths of water
ways has proved not only inefficient
bu- costly, small mesh nets imped
in the flow of the current and i^rff;
mesh nets allowing the fish to es
cape. Keeping fish awajr from in
take ami irrigation ditches and
frcm dangeroug rapids near spawn
ing grounds is also expected to b«
overcome by the electric fish sop.
The new stop operates by estab
lishing electric fields of graduated
voltage across the s tream, power be
ing furnished by a water dynamo
.olaced in the stream. Current gen
erated is carried to a small house
on th*> oank, to a transformer, whioj
converts the current into four cur
rents of voltage ranging from 25
to 200 volts. 25-volt field is lo
cated farthest down stream, turning
back the small fsih coming in con
tact with it into the main current.
Tlie Increasing voltage acts up
on fish of proportionate size. The
electric fields are established by
means of iron gratings which curve
into th0 river banks and extend
to the stream bed.

HUN SOLDIER IS
JUS! A SAVAGE
With The American Army, France,
—Compared' to the German soldier
or today who before the War was
suppose^ to be civilized, the A
merican Indian, of frontier dayg is
declared by an African medical of
fice- to hay© been highly civilized.
The Indian never pretond'odi to
be any thinir but, a savage, said: the
medical officer, "while the Ger*
man» have been pretending to be
peace loving and human for the
u»st century."
Deliberate killing by German
troops of Red Cross workers in
their work of mecy on the battle
fields has aroused the wrath of A
merlcan army officers. It is as
serted that all during the Marne
battle, the German aviators swept
over field dressing stations,
pouring machine gun bulleta into
the medical units as they attended
the wounded and dropping bombs
ou hospitals, although the Red.
Cross insignia wa« in plain view.
The Hun snipers picked off Red'
Cross stretcher bearers as quickly a
combatant soldiers.
"They acted Just lite cornered
rats,'' declared an American infan
try officer, "except that most of
them did not ha-ve the courage to
fight to the death. When they were
surrounded and had- no chance, they
would come out of the machine gun
nesta with tears in their eyes and
crif-s of 'Kamerad.' The German sol
dier in a pleading attitude is the
most loathesome and despicable
sight imaginable,"
