DOES FREEZING KILL FIsH7

Experiments in Which They Were
Not CensnIted Proves 1t Does.
A number Of live perch were secured
and placed in water at the ice manu-
factory, and the water was put in the
process OF cryStalliZatiOn. 1t requires
about sixty hours to freeze a cake of
ice. and during this time the fish were
watched to ascertain the effect Of the
intense cold which surrounded them.
They kept alive and continued to swim
in the water until their confines were
so narrowed that they had no space in
which 10 move.
The ice in its freezing process begins
at the outside and freezes toward the
center, so the space in Which the fish
had their liberty was gradually :lar-
rOwed down until the fish were incaSed
and the water around them frOze,
pinioning them tightly in its fold.
Each fish whom the cake was COM
pfetol was as natural as life, its tins
and tail beiIG spread as they were
while in the act Of swimming. The
cake Of ice containing the fish was
placed on exhibition, and numerous
bets involving seS sTal hundred dollars
were made as to the outcome of the
experiment.
The cake was left intact for day or
SO and then cut open and the fish
taken out and placed in water. They
were left for some time, and Of the five
fishes which were originally put in the
cake none of them exhibited a return
to life so far as can be definitely deter
mined except one. and whether This
one was indeed alive il open to con-
fceture.-New Haven Register.

Astonishing the Gas-Mon.

The Chinese visiting etiquette is that
the rank of the caller is donated by the
size of his card. Thus the visiting card
of high mandarin would be an i'm
mense roll of paper, nicely tied up.
A well-known West-endar lately en-.
gagged a full-blooded Chinese servant,
and the good lady of the house i'm.
mediately, therefore, held 'reecp-
tion"-whether to commemorate the
employment of the "yellow boy" or
not Is unknown. .
John Chinaman attended the door,
and received with great disgust the
small pasteboards Of The visitors, and
evidently with an opinion of his own
of the low condition of tile West-end-
ers friends, pitched the cards into q
bGsket, and with scant ceremony show
ed their owners into the dressing-room.
But, presently, the gas-man called
with q bill ON piece of cream-colored
paper. This card satisfied John-with
deep reverence he received 1t. With
| low salaams he ushered the bearer not
only into the drawing room, but, with

Repeal both the silver purchase ano
the silver redemption clauses of the
Sherman bill. Make all paper money
greenbacks, silver certificates and
Treasury notes-redeemable in gold at
the present standard, or in silver bull
ion at its market value. Gold will then
lose its significance. All of it might go
to Europe. We should still be on a gold
basis, without the gold. Then estab-
lish an elastic currency on paper
basis redeemable as above. Appoint q
national monetary commission repre-
senting different interests and includ=
ing monetary experts, Let the cons
mission establish q price barometer to
determine the fluctuations of general
prices, When prices fall let them ex-
pand the currency; when prices rise
let them contract. To expand, they can
buy silver bullion and issue legal-tender
bullion notes. To contract, they can
sell bullion for the notes and retire the
latter. To prevent speculation, let the
commission issue notes to a limited ex-
tent without corresponding purchases
of bullion. Notes could be deposited
on call with designated banks on ap-
proved securities of public and railway
bonds, the Government sharing in the
profits. Deposits could be Withdrawn
when the commission wishes to c1n-
tract. Deposits could be made with
New York banks whenever money
panic sends interest up to, say, 8 per
cent. A plan like this enables our Gov
ernment to act independently of Eu-
rope; to establish bimetallism on a
Aexible instead of fixed ratio, to se-
cure thoroughly elastic currency; to
persuade other debtor nations ulti-
mately to join us In an international
commission.-John r. G Commons, Pro-
fessor in Indiana State University, In

THE MIDDLE OF THE EARTH.
Many Places Contest the Honor

Many Places Contest the Honor
Their Claims.
For several centuries different cities
Of the Orient have contested with each
other for the honor of being recognized
as the mid-spot of our planet. In 1888
q London geographer issued an elabo-
rate work, in which he tries to prove
the British metropolis to be the center
of the landed surface Of the globe.
Jerusalem and DelIlhi, notwithstanding
that neither Is situated on or very near
the equator, have for ages been the
two main contestants in this great cen
trail city controversy, says the Phila-
delphia Press.
William Simpson, of the London So
ciety for the exploration of Palestine,
tells us that Herr Schick has sent home
drawings of the spot in Jerusalem
which is supposed by some to be the ex-
act center of our world. This interest
ing place is in the Greek church, nine
feet to the right of the reliquary con-
tanning what purports to be the crown
of thorns worn by our Savior, the first
nail that was driven through his right
hand, and the blood which he shed on
that memorable occasion.
1t is written iii the psalms: "God is
my king of old, working salvation in
the midst of the eartll.'
