Fishes That Do Not Move.

FROM Our Animal Friends
A great many Of our well-known fishes do not
move from Christmas to Easter, and often for
much longer period. l paid visit to the chief
Canadian fish hatchery, which is under the
superintendent Of Mr.. Wilmo. at Newcastle,
Ont, early in December. In some of the tanks
were carp and in others were eels One large
eel was in the form o; the letter s and poised
midway in the wafer. When l returned to New
castle early in March the eel had not changed
its place or its form, and Mr.. Wimot assured
me that il had not moved in all tina. time The
carp lay close to the bottom of the tanks and
did not move either. They like to 60 into deep.
reedy lakes or ponds. get close to the bottom
and remain there till the ice above their heads
has melted. Unless they are disturbed doub.
il soma of these alternating fishes move so
much a fin during the winter. A frog will
into the heavens with wide-opeu eyes. without
once moving them or any other portion Of his
body.
At the New York Hospital they related to me
a curious occurrence bearing on the hiberna-
ton OF fishes. In the conser vatory in the upper
part of the building they had several glass Jars
in which were gold fish, which is q species OF
carp. One morning the caretaker found a jar
broken and the water frozen through and
through, the fish Of course being as rigid as ice
The lump was taken away and thrown into an
old rubbish barrel, where it remained several
weeks. One March day the sun was unusually
strong and i. split the cylinder of ice, but what
was the establishment Of the caretaker to see
the tail of fish wriggling out OF part of the
broken block. The actual freezing had not
killed the fish, which was removed to another
tank, where il swims about az IL nothing had
befallen it.

The Earl of Derby died last evening" He was
born July 81. 1926, and educated at Rugby and
Trinity College, Cambridge. In 1852 he was
appointed under secretary of foreign affairs in
the first administration of his father, the
former Earl Of Derby. Under his fathers Sec
ond administration, was secretary of state for
India with seat in the cabinet. and it was I'M
der his superintendent that the management
of the British India empire was transferred
from the East Indian Company TO Great
Britain. The late earl was appointed secretary
OF state for foreign affairs in July, 1886. Mr..
Disraei again intrusted him with the foreign
office in 1874. In 1879 the Earl Of Derby de-
tached himself from the conservative party on
the ground that he did not approve the course
of the conservative leadership in regard to the
foreign relations OF Great Britain. Lord Derby
became a liberal. and was secretary Of state
for the colonies under Mr. Gladstone from 1882
to July, 1885. In 1885, when the division in
the liberal party occurred on the issue Of home
rule for Ireland, Lord Derby took q stand
against Irish home rule, and has since ranked
among Mr.. Giadstones opponents.

Capt James e. Smith. who was quietly laid
to rest in Rock Creek cemetery on Friday. the

whose deeds thrilled the country in the
stormy days Of 1875 While an active par
ticipant in most Of the battles Of the Army Of

did defense Of Devils Den. on the extreme
left Of the Union line. during the second days

finally overwhelmed he saved two of his guns

scant margin to seize Little Round Top and so
hold the enemy a. bay until night closed in.
Gen. Eunt, chief of artillery Of the Army Of

Capt. Smith 8 battery imposed . delay on
Hoods troops at Devils Den that gave time to
Warren to hasten forward defenders for Little
Round Top. which, it is claimed, was lost by the
enemy by less than five minutes. The battery
was posted on Devils Den and maintained its
position so long as man was left to protect ii. +"

in a letter to the Secretary of War. said:
Capt. Smiths conduct at Gettysburg in the
ueiense VI Littie hounu Top NJ crltlcal mo-
ment on July 2, 1868, attracted my personal
attention and was strongly commended by me
on the field"
Capt. Smith was a man Of indomitable cour-
age and supreme vitality. which was very evil
dent in the long fight he made against mortal
disease. For the past two years he has been
confined to his room and bed, yet, though
racked with pain. he compiled history of his
battery. and Of his own subsequent experience

From the New York Times
Does any one know the exact value of a
hyphen In obtaining or retaining standing in
aristocratic society abroad? We ask the cues
ton because we note that certain persons who
are supposed to be in hot pursuit OF such
standing have adopted the fashion Of connect
ing by hyphen names that used TO be
written with entire independence of each
other.
Is there any occult charm for the censors Of
transaiiantic society in ''William-Smith" or in
the Wnlism-Sniths' that does not lie in the
arrangement usual in designating the indi-
vidual Smith whose name 10 William or in desiR-
mating his family? We do not now speak o,
French society. The French are notoriouslv
given to excess in the mattar Of hyphens, bu,
they confine it, ordinarily. to the first two Of
three names, and even then to initials. a. Mon
sieur y.-Henry Snooks. They would never
write Henry-Snooks or les Henry -Snooks."
In England, on the other hand, where two
family names are used they are united BY I

and the Christian name. Can IL be that there
