...conceived the chapel (TIME, Jan. 3), the ailing but happy old man has altered his plans for it again & again. The design for its eight narrow stained-glass windows of half-abstract leaves and cactuses done in blue, yellow and green was worked out by pinning colored scraps to long rolls of brown wrapping paper tacked to the walls of his hotel suite at Nice. The interior design was also the work of months; as now planned, its white marble floor and black-line Matisse murals drawn on white tiles will glow with colored light from the Matisse windows...

Such "pulses" must be about two-thousandths of a second long. The pause between pulses must be timed to the natural swimming motions of the fish. Since little fish move their tails faster than big fish, the pulses must come closer together (about 20 per second) to catch little fish. A current with two pulses per second catches big ones...
