A Lesson OF Honesty.

by Editor Brock of the Cherokee Sem

next morning to try and hunt up Miss

There is no phenomenon Of naturel
that escapes the investigating eye of
science. In England they have late
ly been experimenting with founders
in order to determine whether the
whiteness of the UNDER sides Of those
fish is due to the exclusion Of light,
and the presence of color on their
upper sides to exposure to light.
They have kept the fish expert
mented upon living in a glass tank,
having mirror placed beneath, so
as to reflect light upon the under
sides of the fish.
One of these prisoners has sur
vived for three years under condi-
tions so strangely different from its
ordinary habits of life, and all Of
them have exhibited the Development
of spots of pigment on their lower
surfaces.
The eXperimenters have concluded
that it is exposure to light that
causes the coloration of the upper
parts of the bodies not only of
founders but of othea fish, and con-
versely, that it is to the comparative
absence of light that the whiteness
of the under sides of fish is due.
They extend the same principle to
explain the colorless condition of the
skins of many animals that pass all
their lives in caves.

Florida Wants the Fighters.

Sports at Jacksonville, Fla, are af-
Ter the Corbett-Mitchell fight, and
have offered $4,000 as a stake
for the winner and $4,000 for
training expenses, in order to secure
the combat. The mayor of Jackson
vile, however, has taken hand in
the matter. He has asked for an opin.
ion from the city attorney as to
whether the charter or ordinances Of
Jacksonville empower him to prevent
the fight within the city limits, and
has instruced the attorney, that if hd
finds lack of authority, to prepare
an ordinance at once, with that end in
view. The ministers of the city have
also held meeting for the purpose
OF arousing public sentiment against
the innovation, and an effort will be
made to induce Governor Mitchell to
use the State authorities to prevent
the fight outside Of the city of Jack
sonyille on Florida soil.

The md-winter exposition already
much talked of, bids fair to rival the
great fair that has just closed at Chi

tainly so in originality, in richness
and in delighted visitors, who will
unanimously agree that the Pacific
Coast is worth many times the time
and money spent to visit it, in its re-
turn of delightful climate, mellow
sunlight, wondrous growth of vege-
tation, and the heretofore unheard of
net work of industries connected with
fruit raising, and the shipping of the
product.

A paper called the Churchman tells
the following story, but coming even
from such a source it is hard to sWall
low.
In the western part of Massachusetts
man had fine stock farm. But a
few weeks ago fire broke out in the
barn, and burned not only the build
ing and the hay, but most of the ami
mails also. After the fire the owner
walked over the ruins 1t was sad
sight to see the charred bodies OF has
fine Jersey COWS and his high spirited
horses. to say nothing of the money
lost with them. But at the end of
the barn he saw sight which toncned
him more than all the rest. There
sat an old black hen. He wondered
that she did not move her head to look
at him as he came near her, but he
thought she must be asleep. He
poked her with his cane, and to his
surprise the wing which he touched
fell into ashes. Then he knew that
she had been burned to death. But
out from under her wing came a faint
little peep, and pushing her aside with
his cane, the man found-what do YOU
thlnk?- en- little yellow chickens |!
The poor hen had sacrificed her own
life u save them, and had held her
place IN The fire, as Casabianca held
his on the burning deck. That sight
touched the man more than anything
else.

Whether Russia gets villefranche or

Whether Russia gets villefranche or
not it is safe to say, thinks the New
ferk Herald, that the Gear has the
earnest intention of securing naval
station OF some sort on the Mediter-
ranean either for love or money. s.The
report published in the Paris Soir may
possibly be ballon d'essai, but the
fact remains that the Gear is tired of
having his wings clipped in the Black
Sea, the Dardanelles and the Medite-
ranean, and will eventually secure a
haven for his feet in southern waters
and compel Europe to acquiesce by
carrying out his threat to make the
Baltic Russian lake. Russia is too
strong to be cooped up much longer
by antiquated treaties. 1t is Russian
principle in diplomacy that treaties
are made simply to be put aside when
the proper time comes. And the time
seems to be coming"
