LONDON'S "EIFFEL TOWER”

The "Eiffel Tower" has been on the market and is now off again- not the great structure in Paris." but the Httle Bohemian restaurant in London, where for thirty years celebrities in every walk of life have come to dine, and to offer their congratulations afterwards to Herr Rudolf Btullk, the proprie- tor.

Alas, high taxes and rates forced Herr Stullk to close his shutters. The restaurant and all its effects were put up for sales; and be, himself, faced with quiet courage, the ruin of his career with no more apparent support than the sym- pathy of his frienda, not the least among whom were many of his

BRAIN OF A FISH

The brain of a fish is in all ite essential parts the same as that of 1 man, Professor J. Gray. Reader in Experimental Zoology at Cambridge University, stated in a lecture at the Albert Hall, Nottingham.

Removed By An Operation

A "live" 2-inch Mauser shell (as it is described) has been success- fully removed from the shoulder of Bias Martin Mora, a private soldier in the Spanish Government Army.

The shell embedded itself, with- out exploding, in the man's left shoulder on July 18, and as it was liable to explode at any moment, great care had to be taken in re- moving the wounded soldier to a first-aid station and then to a base hospital,

An artillery expert was called. and after the surgeon had made an incision in the man's back the expert was able to unscrew and remove the

detonator cap, thus.. rendering the shell harmless and comparatively easy to remove.

The whole operation took four hours, but the soldier is now, con- valescent, and has been con- gratulated on his escape by Gener- al Mlaja.

INTELLIGENCE TESTS

He spoke of the marvellous feats during a paper on "Intelligence of navigation of the eel and Tests and the Secondary School salmon, and said that one must hesitate before concluding that in -riavigation man took a higher

place than the eel.

Experiments forced them to con- clude that the Pacific salmon was able to retrace its path of many hundreds of

miles and reach with what could only be called uncanny Instinct, the river of childhood.

"How are we to explain this feat of navigation? Has the salmon a sense of direction, or does he keep near the bottom. carefully recording the landmarks as he goes and so is able to retrace his Rochester, N. Y-Jack can have steps?" Professor Gray asked. his beanstalk, but Owen Brewer,

not, why not?

Mr. Brewer, despite his more than half a century of farming. is unable to explain why the tomato plant outstripped its neighbours by four times a normal growth. He has been too busy driving nails in the side of his house, where the plant grows, to "tle up" its spread, which already has reached five feet.
