HOLMES AGAIN TALKING.
He Ridicules Murder Charges, Which Are
Constantly Piling Up.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug Al. II. Holmes
again unburdcned himself to a newspaper
man yesterday. He intimates that he was
nearly in the act of killing Benjamin Pite-
eel on several occasions, but denies that
he did kill him He declares that Pat
Quinlan has nothing to confess, and says
he has positive evidence that his wife Is
loyal to him. He says Minnie Williams
was his best friend He claims that he is
a rich man, with 5000, 900 to his credit. He
declares that he can prove that he left the
Pitezel children in safe hands, and that
Benjamin Pitezel took his own life. He
does not believe that the man Hatch, In
whose care he left the Pitezel children, Is
in Jail in Arkansas, or in any other prison.
Holmes says he was married three times,
but explains in a jocular way that only
one of the marriages was legal He says
that the lady calling herself Mrs. Howard,
and who is now in Philadelphia still loves
him, but that she is not his legal wife be-
cause he had wife living when he mar
ried her under the name of Howard.
Holmes ridicules the idea that he can be
convicted of murder.

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
1t Is Strongly Urgod by the international
GeOgraphioal COnRress.


LONDON, Aug 2.-The Daily News an
nounces that there is reason to believe
that an international Antarctic explora-
tion as suggested by the international
geographical congress at it's meeting on
July 30, will become an accomplished fact
at no distant date. Tho congress yester-
day adopted the resolution of the vice
presidents recommending Berlin as the
place for the meeting of 1895.
Previous to the decision being arrived
at to hold the next session of the inter
national geographical congress in Berlin
the Norwegian explorer, Borchgrevimk,
concluded his account of the voyage which
he made to the antarctic regions, and said
he believed thore existed in the extreme
south a great continent having an area of
about SO00OoO miles, and containing
many animals unknown to the inhabi-
tants of the southern hemisphere. In
conclusion he said that the time was now
ripe for an expedition to the antarctic
regions.
The congress passed resolution to the
effect that explorations of the antarctic
regions formed the greatest work still to
be undertaken, and that, in view of the
addition of knowledge to every branch Of
science which would result from such eX-
ploration, Uha congress desires the scien-
tinc societies of the world to urge in the
most effective manner that the work be
undertaken before the close of the century.

KlLLIES.
They Arc Peculiar Fish-How They Differ
In Different Waters.


The small boy who angles for killies
with bent pin for hook may not know
that there are in North America II genera
of killies including SO species. The killie
Is most widely distributed. 1t is found in
Canada and in all parts of the United
States, and in Mexico and Central Amer
lea, and in South America. The several
kinds of killies found in this country range
at full growth from to inches in length,
and they also vary greatly in form and in
appearance. There are some that are beau
tifully marked and some that are almost
transparent
OF the kind commonly known as the
bass mummy, which is used as a bait for
striped bass, the female killie is marked
with stripes running lengthwise and the
male with bands or vertical stripes. In
the south the killie is called mummichog.
There is a mummichog whose brown sides
are adorned with stripes of black made up
of tiny round spots in line, each at the base
of a scale. This killie has high back fin,
which is of a pearly tint and marked with
blue spots. In Central America and in
South America the killie attains a some
what larger growth than in this country,
and many of them there are as gayly col
ored as tropical birds
Even the plainest k1llie takes on bright
er colors in the breeding season, as almost
all fishes do.
The killie is wonderfully prolific, and it
will live in water warm enough, it would
almost seem, to boil other fish. 1t is al
ways on the go, an alert little fish, moving
In schools, and sometimes in lines of per-
feet front, like so many soldiers. There is
a southern killie called the top swimmer,
from its habit of swimming on top of the
water with its head out.
And with all it's beauty the killie is sim
ply a scavenger. 1t eats superfluous and
decayed vegetation and waste material of
every sort, and there are so many of them
that, small as they are, they consume inn
mense quantities of refuse The killie thus
helps to preserve the healthfulness of the
neighborhood in which it exists, and the
! very substances which it consumes, that
might otherwise have proved deleterious to
mankind, it converts indirectly into good
food for man, for the killie is eaten by ed
/ ible fish.-New York Sun.
