Ffshes hot water.

/ ~
A stupid old story relates the pro-
fame language made use of by the fishes
s'when Soils perpendicular rays illu-
mined the depths Of the sea. AS to
what really happened on such occa-
sions, some experiments just
made by the secretary Of the
National Fish Culture Association,
and reported by the Fish Culture
Journal, give results certainly curious
and possibly practically useful. The
object was to discover the. highest
temperature at which fish can exist in
water, the competitors being carp,
gudgeon, dace, roach, perch, golden
tench, common tench, trout, salmon
and minnow. Not till the water
reached 80 degrees did any sign Of
langour show themselves; and the first
that gave in was q perch at 80 de-
grees. Ks. ri, ...s
Then followed retirements in the fol-
lowing order-roach, salmon, minnOW,
gudgeon, dace, common tench, golden
tench-until the carp was left winner
of the prize of endurance, holding out
till 81 degrees, three degrees better than
the best record below him. Having
taken the hot water heat with what
looked like fatal results, the natural
corrective was exhibited in the form Of
brandy, which to the dismay Of teeto-
tai practitioners, presently set all the
competitors swimming about in their
normal condition just as if nothing
had happened, with the sole exception
of one dace, who died a martyr either
to science or to the somewhat heroic
remedy. Some surprise is expressed
at the endurance of the minnow, and
also the salmon, considering his es-
pecial need of oxygen, and even at that
of the perch, who is known to have an
exceptional and characteristic antipa-
thy to warm water. It remains to be
shown, of course, in what way pisci-
culture is to be practically benefited
by the experiment. ~ r. -;

MEMBERS OF THE BRITISH NOBILITY WHO ARE
IN HOLY ORDERS.
Public opinion in this country, and even in
England among a large and very respecta-
Bile class of its people, is not apt to view the
British house of lords as a body remarkable for
religion and morality, yet singular to say in
contradiction of the generally entertained be-
lief to the contrary, it has more members be-
longing to the sacred profession than any other
parliamentary body in the world. Aside from
bishops. those OF Canterbury and York. and

Henry. This did not please the latter and one
night that Mr. Forbes was more than usuaIIv

DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL.
Grant Memorial Service and Other Wash
ington Matters.

WAsHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The services lin
memory of Gen. Grant were held this
evening under the auspices of the local
commandery in the Metropolitan church,
at which Gen. Grant was regular at
tendant during his Presidential term. The
auditorium which is one of the largest in
the city was crowded. The funeral chimes
table feature of the service was the
chanting and singing OF war songs
by the st. Cecilia Ladies' quartette.
The meeting WAS called to order by De
partment Commander Brooks, and after
prayer by DR.. Huntley, pastor of the
church, Gen. John A. Logan, the orator OF
the occasion, was introduced and warmly
welcomed by the audience. His speech
was frequently interrupted by the plaudits
of the audience, which broke out at the
mention of names of the favorite com,
manders. Gen. Logan's address embodied
recital from the standpoint of personal
observation of the military history OF Gen
Grant.
After paying tribute to Gen. Grant, as q
statesman and soldier, Gen. Logan SAID
that in his belief Gen. Grant was without
a rival, either as strategist or command
er. He was greater as military com
mander than was Washington, Napoleon
Wellington, Marlborough, Prince of Or
ange, Frederick, or Hannibal, and in thu
| speakers belief, coming centuries Woult
| give him rank equal if not superior Il
that of Julius Caesar, and when the mist
thrown around his civil administration by
partisan enemies should be dispelled thel
would equal in glory any administration
OF the past
