% FISHES TALKi
Here Il Testimony From . Man Who
Thinks They Do.

Thinks They Do.
We have heard of the language Of
monkeys, and Of the language Of hens,
and Of the language Of crows, and even
Of ants, but it will be new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes have
Q language Of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some Investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way Of communicating notion Of their
experiences to other fishes
Mr.. Field carried ON his experiments
In the fishponds Of Mr.. Andrew, at
Guihord, England. Those ponds are full
Of trout. which, at the time when Mn
Field first visited them, were 80 little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw q baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight-a great number
rushed eagerly upon it. he caught
one, and removing 1t from the hook.
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it. One Of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a, newly baited hook.
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait. And after little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth-
or pond equally we'll stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr.. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal Of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait.
If. Mr.. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his fellows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re-
leased fish has some means Of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called language. "-Fortnightly Re

SYNDICATE TO THE RESCUE
In an Hour It Raised the Treasury Gold Reserve Above the Danger Point--Fourth
 Time.

Washington, Aug. 30.-It is generally recognized here in official circles that the Belmont Morgan bond syndicate will not permit the treasury gold reserve to fall below the $10O, ,000, ,000 mark. Four times they have come to the rescue when such a result would have followed constant drains on the reserve for export to Flu rope. At the last moment the syndicate deposited $l 100000 in gold, in exchange for legal tenders, without which the gold reserve would have dropped below the limit. At 2:30 o'clock this afternoon As sistant Treasurer Jordan at New York telegraphed that $2 2250,000 in gold had been withdrawn for export to Europe This reduced the treasury gold reserve to $99, ,456 634 At 3:35 o'clock telegram from MT. Jordan announced that the syn dicate had deposited $1,000,0O0 in gold, which raised the treasury gold to $10O, 456634
 So far the syndicate has deposited in excess of the gold required for its $62, ,40O, 900 in bonds nearly $10,000,000, to keep the reserve intact.

MURDER OR SUIClDE2
An Atlanta Merchant Found Wounded Under
 Mysterious Circumstances.

Atlanta, Aug. 30.-B. A. Bass. a Peters street commission merchant, was shot at APO o'clock this morning in the rear of the Grand theater. There is some doubt whether it was suicide or murder, but the detectives working on the case think it was suicide. The body was found in a ditch in an alley, which runs back from the Aragon hotel
 Bass left his home at 4:15 o'clock to go to his store. It is supposed that he start ed through the alley because it was a nearer route. Two policemen, who were near heard the pistol shot, but did not see any one run away. Bass told his son and some friends yesterday that his life had been threatened. He was to have been tried himself tomorrow for receiving stolen goods. There are two theories one that he shot himself to escape the trial, and another is that he was shot by) some one implicated in the stealing. Bass died this afternoon. He was married and has four children. He came from Thom- asville, Ga.
