How u Fish Sees,

The medium in which the fresh
water fishes live gives them Il chance
to see a great distance only i'm the
horizontal direction, and the proper
adjustment of the eye would make,
under usual conditions, the optical
axis take this direction. To me it
seems impossible to explain the con.
stant revolution of the cycball ON any
other hypothesis except that given,
viz: That the optical axis extends
forward instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to eat anything,
either at the bottom of the pond or
at the surface of the water, it swims
directly toward the object; and in
this case the eyes are instantly adj
justed in line with the body, SO as to
bring the image of the particle de.
sired upon the posterior portion of
the reuina. In this case they lose
their usual horizontal position.
If u fish wishes to turn to the right
or left in the water, the first move
mcnt is that of the eyes in unison
with the direction of the turning.
This would be entirely unnecessary il
the apparent axis was the axis Of
most distinct vision, as one of the
eyes would see all that was to be
seen in the side of the turning.
After this movement of the eyes,
the body turns enough to bring the
eyes into their normal position: and
there is again a movement of the
eyes, and next a movement of the
body. This causes peculiar jerking
motion of the eyeball during the
whole time of the turning of the
body.-American Angler.

CLEVELAND THE GOVERNMENT.

CLEVELAND THE GOVERNMENT.
1t is reported that Grover Clevela land
has said several times of late that he
relies more upon Republican than upon
Democratic support for the repeal of the
silver purchase law. This, it is claim
ed, he has said in private conversation
with mem bers of both parties. He does
not hesitate to assume the responsible
itv suggested. 1t is he who is having
the work done. The service rendered
by both the Repu blicans and Democrats
who favor repeal is to Grover Cleveland
and not, as one might idly suppose, for
any fancied demand of the people.
1t was Cleveland who proposed the
measure. to be sure; it was not sug-
gested by either the Democratic or the
Republican platform. 1t was put for
ward as personal measure, uncalled
for and unwarranted by any public ex-
preston coming from the people. Only
for the colossal nerve OF the incum bent
of the White House, however, would he
openly boast that "he" depended upon
the Republicans to carry out his per-
sonal will.
But, after all, where shall the Repub-
ican repeal senators get authority for
their action if they do not take it from
: the political fountain head of the
measure? There is no authority for
their course in the latest national plat
form of their party. By that declara-
ton OF principles they are committed
to bi-metallism. They have no right as
Republicans to raise a finger in aid of,
or give word of comfort to, the propo-
sition of Grover Cleveland and the
bankers and brokers of London and
New York, that the power of silver as
money be destroyed. The Republicans
OF the west are not Indifferent specta-
tors of their acts. They have for years
contented themselves with the party's
candidate for the presidency while the
east made the platform. They have
followed in line with the mandates of
the national conventions without a
single thought of wavering. They have
seen their ranks decimated by the de-
parture of those who refused longer to
contest for what they thought were I'M
equal benefits. They now note the in
dispersion OF those who have made these
platforms to abide by the spirit and
letter of the party declarations with
