vital activity however is in full vigsr; the functions

Experience teaches fish as 10 ell as fools.
1t is curious to witness the uproar that
takes place in the fish pond at Logan, in
Galloway the moment the fisherman makes
his appearance with his daily store Of limp
cts and other food for his fnny charge.
The whole surface seems agitated by some
vast internal commotion, as hundreds OF
fishes rush from all corners to one common
point where they know they will receive
their accustomed food, and where they
greedily contend with each other for the
delicious mouthlul. They are intimately
acquainted with the person of their keeper
and will feed from his hand, distinguishing
him from the many visitors who frequent
the spot. One old cod, for the pond is a
salt water one and connected with the sea,
allows the fisherman to stroke his head and
even to lift him from the water. Thus it
is seen, that these animals have at any rate
acquired consciousness of security which
cannot be ascribod to any modification of
mere instinct. which rather prompts them
to shun the decetful protection of man, as
it doubtless did when they we're first placed
in the pond But they have acquired
knowledge from experience, and such is
the result -Bushman's Pkilosophyo Of IN
