Police Chief Cyrf Barker, of Tewksbury, Massachusetts, IJ.S.A., has solved the mystery of fish that whirled in tailspins in a brook that never froze throughout the recent severe winter. His curiosity led to a discovery that great quantities of mash and alcohol ran through the brook after draining from a barn in which a large still was operating, illegally. The brook ia the cnly body of water in the locality that remained open during three weeks of extreme cold. ' Alcohol has the power of preventing the freezmg of water, and is nsed in motor car radiators in cold countries for this purpose.
