Guy Fawkes seems destined to i'm
mortality through the profound conser-
vatism Of the English people. Dis
patches from London say that when the
fourth session Of the thirteenth parlia-
ment Of Queen Victoria opened at ?
o'clock the Lord Chamberlain, Lord
Darlington, accompanied by ten yeo
men and a number Of policemen, made
the customary Guy Fawkes search OF
the vaults of the houses Of parliament,
in order to see that no preparations had
been made to blow up the buildings.
James I. has slept with his ancestors
these many seasons. 1t was early in mis-
reign the Guy Fawkes plot was engag-
ed in. For more than 200 years upon
the assembling of any parliament the
first business has been that which is
gone through to-day as carefully as it
was when Guy Fawkes' performance
was fresh in the public mind. Conser
vatism is a great potency in the English
mind, leading at times to absurditieS.
1t remained for curious Yankee to
abolish custom for which nobody
could give an account. Visiting Lon
at particular place every day regular
ly relieved, and observing no particu-
lar reason for their presence he pushed
his inquiries for information to the
headquarters of the army. The Horse
guards were unable to say why this
guard was kept, but concluded to ascer-
tain wherein the origin was, and found
| that some treasure was ordered to be
guarded at this particular point in the
reign of Charles II. and the Horse
guards had been sending soldiers to-
The same spot ever since. Even when
the New Zealander will have taken his
place upon broken arch Of London
bridge to sketch the ruins of st. Pauls
he will observe few dingy officials
looking through the ruins of Westmins-

Chicago Times: Owing to the f

Chicago Times: Owing to the faulty
construction of the Pullman dining
cars two of the cooks on the Charlton
of the Chicago and Alton Road, which
burned. escaped. When one considers
how seldom Providence comes up with
the dining-car cook it does seem that
some ingenious inventor ought to ar
range Il device that would hold the Gull
pritS safely while they burned. Of
course we are referring to the GLASS;
not to the individuals. If the two men
who escaped from the Charlton will
consider the burning of that car as a
lesson to them and reform, the Times
will have nothing further to say. But
they will not reform. They will go on
cooking an arrangement of canned
meats which is variously entituled on
the menu, but which flavors the palate
of the pilgrim for weeks with one
flavor. They will make coffee which
is weaker than anything on this earth
except dining-car tea. And they will
conspire to produce dyspepsia with a
kind of pie that is simply unique in it's
biliousness.

full of water. We say may, because
the pressure Of the superintendent
mass Of water will either force the
water through the porous glass, force
the cork into the bottle, or break the
bottle.
By law Of hydrostatics the pressure
Of water is in proportion to it's vertical
height and its area at the base. 1t is
reckoned that the pressure Of water on
any body plunged into it is about one
pound to the square inch for every two
feet of the depth. Bottles filed with
fresh water, tightly corked and sealed,
have been sunk to great depths in the
ocean, and where the enormous pres
sure has not burst the bottles it has
driven in the cork and displaced the
fresh with salt water. Pieces of wood
have been weighted and sunk in the
sea, with the result that the tissues
have become so condensed that the
wood lost it's buoyancy and will never
float again. It could not even be
burned when apparently quite dry.

Abolishing Animal Prisons.

Some of the extreme advocates Of
kindness to animals are evidently pre-
pairing to enter upon mission for the
total abolition of menageries, geological
gardens, and other animal prisons.
Letters that seem like little kites flown
to see how the wind blows appear ever
and anon in the newspapers, but the
general public has not yet risen to them.
Still, the materials Of a movement"
are still at hand If the leading fanatic
to guide them were only forthcoming.
Extremists are always ready to ride
an idea to death. To obtain mature
wild creatures, whether two-legged or
four legged, is in general a piece of
cruelty that. besides much else, is per-
fectly useless. but that is not to say
that the Bird catcher should be sup

accurate lesson in zoology than a good
engraving would do, but there may be
objections to abolishing the geological

THE COST OF SPORT.

Lion Hunting Is the Most Economic
Form of Amusement Now Open.
Surgeon Mackay, an English sports
man, has recently lost his life hunting
the African lion. African big game has
for many years had a peculiar attrac-
ton for adventurous sportsmen. Its
pursuit was long an undertaking OF
serious magnitude, and shared with
Polar exploration the foremost place
in the line Of gratuitous adventure.
How far it's general conditions have
changed of recent years is Illustrated
by an English newspaper.
This noble British sportsman points
out to his countrymen that it costs less
to go a-shOoting to Mashona and Mata-
beleland than to hire a shooting in the
Highlands of Scotland. Besides, the
African shooing is a good deal better.
And, besides, the ladies can 60 along.
All you want, says Earl Grey, is Il
comfortable wagon, q good cook, and
an efficient conductor acquainted with
the language. All this is given as a
part Of an account of such trip from
which he. has just returned, and on
which he was accompanied by his wife
and Miss Balfour.
This sounds sufficiently surprising
when one realizes that these hunting
fields lie far inland Of those where
Capt Harris and Gordon Cumming
and Drummond lay in wait for the
rhinoceros and gathered their trophies
of tn antelope tribe. The proposal to
take women along in the picnic is an
addition that heightens the significance
Of the picture. One is reminded of our
own Mark Twain account Of sumptu-
ously roughing it as recently practiced
in the Holy land, where railway cars
of American make now ameliorate the
asperities of the explorers way.-New

It is reported that Gar Nicholas II.
intends to remove the press censorship
that has made it impossible for Russian
newspapers to exist, or for foreign cor
respondents to make the truth concern
ing Russian affairs known to the world.
We shall believe this when it is done,
not before. That the result Of freedom
of the press in Russia would mean con-
stitutional government is certain. That
the Gar has made up his mind against
such a concession is proved by his dec
laration that he will maintain the au-
tocracy. So far the persecution Of the
Jews and Stundists continues, and eX-
pectations of radical changes still re-
main expectations.

-Ow Fish Come to the Surface.


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 distcnds the swimming Or air
bladder.
The air contained therein has per-
centage of oxygen that may rise to as
much as IS, 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
a trocar and alright syringe. The gas
had 50 per cent. of oxygen. In a few
hours the air bladder was refilled. ap-
parently by a process of secretion of
gas from the blood in the capillaries
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 reflled
1t thus appears that when a fish de-
sends to a 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
crettng 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.
