Marine Music "A Failure.

Until some recent discoveries by Pro
fessor Saussier of Vevey, Switzerland,
it was not suspected that fishes were af-
fected by music. In shallow inlet Pro-
fessor Saussier found queer arrange
ment of strings i'll the water which de-
manded examination. Viewing the af-
fair from distance with water tele-
scope he saw that some fishes, which
had, by the usual painful method, gain
ed possession of several fragments of
fishlne, were passing them around two
sticks thrust into the water by some fish
erman. When the strings were strung,
tho stakes We're wedged apart by piling
stones between them so as to tighten the
strings three or four fishes rolling a
stone along the bottom with their noses
The operation was necessarily slow.
The professor watched it at intervals for
two or three days.
Finally, when all was ready, the lar
gest fish seized stick or bone, and,
using it as a plectrum, twanged the
strings with it, while the other fishes
gathered around to hear the music. OF
course, there was none, as the sub
merged strings refused to sound. After
several trials'th fishes tore up their wa.
ter harp in disgust. They had pre- bably
caught their idea from Aimee Saussier,
the professors daughter. who was in
the habit of playing Il harp by the bank.

An Illustration of the Improvement In
the Means of Communication.
Writing upon the subject of ''The Ro-
nance IF Our News Supply" Mr.. W.
q. Fitzgerald tells Il story about the
death of President Lincoln which strik-
ingly illustrates the improvement effect
ed in our means Of communication dur
ing the last so years. In those days
there were no Atlantic cables working,
and news Of the shooting of the presi-
dent and his subsequent death had to
come by steamer. All night after Wilkes
Booth s fatal shot had been fired Reu-
ter's agent at Washington waited for
the announcement Of Lincoln's death,
which was known to be imminent.
The president passed away at 80 the
next morning at the very mom< a
great steamer was leaving for England.
The energetic agent hired a fast tug and
pursued the departing steamer until ho
was near enough to cast ON her deck a
tin canister containing the mournful
tidings. This was the only intimation
of Lincoln S death received in England
by the mail. 1t was the custom in those
days for swift yachts to meet the in
coming Atlantic liners off the coast Of
Ireland. Tin cans of special construction
were thrown overheard by the officers of
the steamer and picked up by the yachts,
after which the messages were conveyed
with all possible expedition to tho near
est telegraph office. London News.
