HOW Fiah Como to the snrface.


A curious physiological discovery has
been made in the last year by Profess
sor Bohr, Of Copenhagen, in regard to
the mode of storage by which fish
accumulates so much oxygen in the air
that distends the swimming or air
bladder.
The air contained therein has Il per-
centage Of oxygen that may rise to as
much as So, an amount in excess Of the
percentage in atmospheric air. Prof.
Bohr tapped the air bladders of cod
fish and drew off the gas by means Of
trocar and alright syringe The gas
had 30 per cent of oxygen. In few
hours the air bladder was refllGd, ap-
parently by a process of secretion Of
gas from the blood in the caplllaries
on the wall Of the bladder. In one ex-
pertinent the gas thus secreted
had so per cent. of oxygen. When the
nerves connected with the organ were
severed, the secretion ceased and the
organ was not retilled.
1t thus appears that when a fish de-
scends to u great depth, and his body
is reduced in size by increased pressure
of the water about him. he is able to
attain his former size and rise by Sc
GREETING the gas he needs and not by
absorbing the water Support is thus
given to the theory that the gaseous
exchanges that occur in the lungs Of
animals are not merely physical.

Cent Pieoes in the south.

A year or so ago when the average
Savannahian found himself in possess
sion of copper cent he felt tempted
to flip the little coin into the gutter as
a nuisance. Cents were unpopular; no.
body wanted them; even Il newsboy
or q bootblack disdained to waste time
in waiting for a cent in change, But
things are different now. The little
copper coin cuts quite figure in the
city's circulation, and it is as much re-
spected as the more pretentious nickel
Hardly person fishes up Il handful of
change in which there is not a plentiful
sprinkling of bronze color The re-
duced street car fares and the odd cent
prices in some of the leading stores
have brought about the change. And
it is probably good thing. People
have come to understand the value Of
a cent better than they ever did before.

not look like sick man, but he could

The English Fear Our Exports.

The growth of the American export
trade is one of the factors with which
Englishmen will have to reckon in the
near future. The American trade and
other journals are devoting great
deal more space to this subject than
our own, although the issues involved
are probably much more serious to
our own country than to the United
States. We cannot very well keep
up our industrial and commercial
supremacy without a large export
trade, whereas the United States
would still be great and prosperous
and progressive even if they did not
export dollars worth of produce,
whether raw or manufactured from
years end to years end. But the
growth of the American export trade
of late years has been startling, and
in some directions evenspretentious.
In previous issues of the Review We
have shown how far American iron
and steel manufacturers were invading
our Canadian markets until they had
reached the point of sending larger
volume of iron and steel goods into
Canada than we send from England.
This is but one of the many signs and
tokens that have been but too apparent
during the last few wears, and more
during the last twelve
when the Yankees have beaten
the record for cheap prices. The ex-
port of manufactured goods from the
United States is now nearly one-third
of the total exports of the country,
which at one time, and that not so
very long ago, consisted almost ex-
clusively of food and agricultural
products and Coal Trade Re-

Judge Baker of Chicago.
CAIcAGo, Sept. Elm deciding the
suit OF Jane Holland against Sarah
West, Judge Baker passed upon an
unusual form OF action and also de-
cided a question of law Of interest to
aliens of the United States. The ac-
ton was one of account between James
Holland of !. Bromsgrove. England,
and Sarah West, widow of William
West, who died in Chicago in 1892. a
native of England, but naturalized
citizen of the United States.
BY his will West left his property
in equal portions to his wife and two
sisters in England. Later one of the
sisters, the plaintiff, decided her share
to James Manning. She then sues
the widow in the old action of account
for her share of the rents of the prop
erty until she sold it.
Judge Baker held for the defendant,
as he said the statute should be strict
ly construed and it did not provide
that aliens should not be entitled to
real property either by descent or
purchase.

Ingersoll Robbed.

ELMwooD, ILL, September 9.-Col.
Ingersoll had his pockets picked
here to-day and lost $3.50 in cash and
a draft for $3.50. The draft, however,
was found and returned to him, hav-
ing evidently been trown away by the
thief as a measure of safety. He
missed the money shortly after leaving
the park where he delivered the address.
1t was commented upon as peculiar
factthat of the 10000 people present he
was the only one to suffer in this way.
1t was curious, too, that the robbery
occurred SO soon after the Colonel had
come forward as the advocate of a
different method of treatment for the
criminal classes. Some of his friends
remarked that the pickpocket in this
case got between 5000 and $500 which
should prove "a breastwork against
temptation" without performing the
necessary labor in prison. No ar
rest was made in connection with the
theft.

Flaws in naturalization.

To what extent, the question pre-
sents itself, can naturalization under
our laws be properly held to confer
immunity on citizen of the United
States returning to and residing in
the country of his original allegiance:
In theory and in ordinary practire the
protection guaranteed to an alien re-
settling in his native country, by an
assumption of citizenship here, is am
pie and complete. The transfer of al
legiance is presumed to be made de-
iberately and in good faith: and all
former civic obligations areapparent-
cancelled by the oath taken to support
the Constitution and obey the laws OF
the Uuited States. Yet under our
present irregular and haphazard sys-
TEN of naturalization, tolerated by an
Indifferent public opinion and neg
lectful Congress, it is evident that
grave abuses of the rights and immu-
mites of citizenship may creep in.
Citizenship has been so cheapened in
this country by the false sentimental
ity which has shrunk from throwing
either restrictions or safeguards about
immigration that it is. not surprising
to find the motives and the methods OF
many men who seek it questioned here
and abroad. New York Tribune.

Thomas Earl, an old veteran y years

swamps near Advance, in Stoddard
County. last Monday evening and re-
heved of $3.50. He was on his way
from his home in Belleville. ILL.,, to

Leaving Advance about sunset, he
proceeded on foot to the residence of
his friend, and when about two miles
from the station he was confronted by
two unmasked highwamen, one of
whom threw a revolver in his face and
ordered him to give UP his money.
Mr.. Earl told them he had no money,
but the robbers replied that he was a
liar, and the second robber proceed to
search his clothing and took from him
$3.50 in bills. Earl was then ordered to
go his way. The robbers left him his
pocket knife, his valice and clothing,
pension certificate and voucher and SOC
in money. Cape Giraadeau officials
were notified and a thorough search
for the robbers has been instituted.
Mr.. Earl thinks he will be able to

One of Gravesendss UnGertakers Dis

The first funeral service ever con-
Quoted in which phonograph took
the place of a minister occurred last
Saturday afternoon at the home OF
Abraham Stillwell, a Grayesend un-
dertaker The services were over the
body of a ,15-months-old child that up
to short time before her death had
been on exhibition at Cony Island
museum as a fat baby" The entire
service of prayers, sermon and hymns
was performed by the phonograph.
Mr.. Stillwell, the undertaken, at whose
house the funeral occurred, is a we'll
known character at Gravesend, where
he is known by all the residents as
"Uncle Abe. He is about 20 years
old. In recent years he had been
morgue keeper. He is strict Metho-
dist, and dislikes to bury a body
without religious service. He had
trouble in always securing preacher.
A few weeks ago he heard phono-
graph for the first time and conceived
the idea of purchasing one and having
it loaded for funeral, as was pub
lished in the Dispatch about two weeks
ago. He secured preacher who
prayed into the machine and also
preached a fuaeral sermon into it.
Later several funeral hymns were
sung into the phonograph. -Pittsburg
