LOVE THEIR HOME.
Instinct That Leads Animals Back to
Their Native Heath.
From Noyemher seribner.

From November Seribner.
With the exception, possibly, of the
anthropoid apes, the homing sense is
possessed in higher or lower de-
gree by all mammals; this il true also
Of the birds, The well known exploits
OF the carrier pigeon. are so familiar
that they will scarcely need comment.
The duck and the goose sometimes
have this sense very highly develop
ed. / once knew a goose TO travel
back home after being carried in
covered basket for the distance OF Is
miles. A drake and duck, to my
certain knowledge, travelled back to
their old home, q distance of 0 miles,
after being transported by railway.
Instances of home-returning in dogs,
cats, horses, etc., are of such common
occurrence that hardly need call at
tention to them. The following in
stance is so unique, however, that ]
will give it:
In the fall of 1861 gentleman Of
Vincennes, Ind, visited his father az
Lebanon, Ky. When he started to
return home his father gave him
yoke Of young steers, which he drove
via Louisville to vincennes. Shortly
after his arrival the steers made their
escape, swan the Ohio at owensboro,
KY, 160 miles below Louisville, and In
week or 30 were found enc morning
at the gate of their old home at Leb-
anon. Led by their sixth sense alone,
these animals had made . journey Of
several hundred miles over a route en-
tirely unknown by them.
Fishermen are well aware of tho
fact that certain fish chotse localities
for their lurking places which they
will share with no other fish. The
black bass, brook trout, sturgeon and
google eye are familiar examples Of
the fish which have this habit. Some
time ago performed the following
experiment.: took q bass from its
home near sunken stump, and, after
passing n thin, short piece of strong
thread through the web of Its tail and
knotting it, repladed it in the river
two miles below It's lurking place.
The next day saw 1t In its old home,
clearly recognizable by the bit OF
thread, which waved to and fro in tho
clear water as the flsh moved its tall,

WHERE is Hon. Thomas Watson
sIat?D
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-10-23

According to our dispatches yesterday.
the supreme court Of Kansas has decided
! that Mr. Watsons name shall remain on
the fusion ticket in Kansas. 1t will be
recalled that a couple of weeks ago Mr..
! Watson telegraphed TO the secretary OF
/ state of Kansas to have his name taken
! off of the fusion ticket, and also for
! warded an AFFIDAVIT to that official in re-
! spect to the matter. The secretary OF state
! did as Mr. Watson requested.
That was not satisfactory to the fusion
lists, and Chairman Briedenthal, of the
popuist state central committee, began
mandamus proceedings in the supreme
court to compel the secretary OF state to
restore Mr.. Watson's name to the fusion
ticket, and he was successful. Mr.. Wat
sons name. therefore, will appear on that
ticket, Notwithstanding his protest.
This ticket was nominated at Abilene
last August. All of the electors are demo-
Gratis. They we're nominated with the
understanding that If Mr.. Sewau had
more electors in the electoral college than
Mr.. Watson they should vote for Mr.. Sew
all, but that they should vote for. Mr..
W dbSOl IL ne udo lHe greater NUMBER VI
electors.
This arrangement was not satisfactory
to Mr.. Watson, and when he was in Kan
sas last September he denounced the fus-
ion ticket on the ground that as the pop
ulists would furnish about four-fifths OF
the votes the ticket would get they ought
to be represented on the electoral ticket.
This was the view taken by the middle-of-
the-road populists, and they. by means of
a petition, nominated an electoral ticket
of their own, and attempted to have the
fusion electors removed from the official
ballot. The attempt, as already stated,
was not successful. Our understanding ls,
however, that Notwithstanding the de-
cision keeping Mr.. Watson's name on the
fusion ticket, there will be a Bryan ana
Watson ticket. 1t is hardly probable,
however, that the Bryan and Watson
ticket will poll much of vote. The pop
ufst leaders agreed to the arrangement
that was made at Abilene. and the pros
pect is that the great majority of the
populists will ratify it at the polls.
