B.C., Tl KSUAY. OCTOBER 18. 1927 JASPER, October 18.-The busy beaver that figures as an emblem of Canada sometimes is too busy, as a recent incident shows. There is a colony of beavers in the lake at the foot of Pyramid Mountain that has been altogether too industrious in the dam-building business peculiar to their species, and as a result the animals with the trowel-shaped tails have come into conflict with the humane who dwell in bungalows at the lake. The bungalow-dwellers noticed that the water in the lake wag rising, and they concluded that it was due to natural causes. Finally, however, they discovered that the rising water was not natural but was the result of beavers' work. The channel which runs under the Canadian National Railways line had become flooded, and trouble was in the offing. The trouble was traced to the beavers, who had dammed the outlet of the lake to make deep water for themselves. The game guardian liked the beavers, but he decided that they had better be more discriminating in their choice of questers. He ordered the dam blown up. The beavers were somewhat surprised, but set to work again to rebuild. They gnawed trees, batted them over with their tails, and dragged them to the dam and began reconstruction. There was another explosion and water poured through the dam again. Now, for the fifth time, dynamite has made a breach in the dam and the beavers are still stubbornly rebuilding. Eventually, however, they will have to give up and seek more secluded quarters. Food of Fishes Consists of Minute Organisms Known to Science by Name of Plankton (Issued by the Biological Board of Canada) How many of us have gazed into a tide pool or over the edge of a boat, and have peered through the still waters at the many colored animals and plants which live on the bottom of the sea. On such occasions one exclaims how clear the water is as clear as glass. And' yet if one stops to reflect upon that statement one will see that if the water were actually clear as glass, all the life which we see at the bottom would become extinct. All the animals which are attached to the rock3 must obtain food, and since they cannot move about tn search of it, they must , fishes are not directly dependent upon depend entirely upon what drifts to wards them In the water Itself, with the ebb and How of the tides. This food material which they live on Is composed of very samll animals and plants to which the general name of plankton la given. Often this plankton to aoiemall as to escape observation tiy the unaided eye. and a microscope must bo used in order to see them. Thus when we gaze through clear sea waters there are probably great numbers of these very small animals and slants floating about which we cannot plankton as a food material, they eat smaller fishes who tn turn live on plankton.
