DO FISHES SUFFER PAIN2
Apparently Not, Though They Are In Many
Respects Sensitive.

Apparently Not, Though They Are In Many
Respects Sensitive.
All fishes have nerves, and in sowa
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
A fish that has buried itself in sand or
mud so completely that only the tip Of
its tail fin is above the bottom will feel
upon the slightest touch and instantly
dart out Of its sandy bed. A fish is very
sensitive to movements in the water
surrounding it. A shadow falling upon
the water will startle fish into flight.
But sensitive as fishes are in some re-
spects, it is probable that they do not
suffer pain from injuries received.
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose. A fish that had in pursuit Of prey
run its nose against a rock might shake
its head violently, perhaps in pain, but
fishes sustain serious injuries from. ac-
tual wounds without showing any indi-
cation of pain. In fact, the indications
tend to show that they do not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an
angler, but has escaped, perhaps carry
ing Off hook in its mouth, may a few
minutes afterward bite again at an
other hook. Such instances are not in-
frequent. In such cases the hook would
probably be concealed by the bait and
the fish would not be likely to see it,
but the fact that it is ready to take the
bait shows that it is continuing to'feed,
which it would scarcely be like to do if
it were suffering great pains A shark
from whose body all the viscera had
been removed has continued to feed.
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose,
many Of them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building a
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon notoriously often wears its snout
down to the bone in excavating a cavity
for nest, and often it wears off its tail
to q mere stub in brushing out stones
and gravel. Yet such fishes frequently
recover from their injuries and return
TO the ocean.
Timid and sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, they fight one another
vigorously. In such fights they may re-
ceive injuries that might be described
as terrible To these injuries they may
pay so little attention that after the
fight is over they go on with their feed
ing or with whatever occupation they
had been engaged in.
Injuries which would throw human
being into a state of helplessness do not
interrupt the current Of fish life. The
fish may afterward die from its injuries,
but apparently it does not suffer pain
from them.
Fishes sometimes survive injuries OF
a remarkable character. The stomach
of captured Goldfish was found to be
pierced by a spine of a founder which
it had swallowed. The sharp, thornlikt
spine projected about half ain inch be-
yond the outer wall of the stomach into
the fish's body. Apparently the codtisf
had suffered no Inconvenience from this
The wound caused by the spine haC
healed around it, and the Goldfish wat
fat and in good condition generally. -

THE TREATMENT OF WITNESSES

Any one would suppose from the way
certain lawyers treat the witnesses in
court that the latter had no rights
which the former were bound to re-
spect. This is all wrong, and It is the
duty Of every judge to put a stop to
it. Witnesses rarely go into court vol
UNFAIRLY, and when they do, it is in
order to assist the legal authorities to
secure justice. Many of them are out
of place in court. They are embar-
rassed and easily driven into saying
what they really do not mean by brow
beating lawyers. Through this means
justice is often defeated. a fact well
known to certain lawyers who make
capital out of their ability to prevent
witnesses from telling the truth by get
ting their ideas so mixed up that they
do not know what they are saying.
Every witness in a court OF justice
has right to be treated with con-
sideration and allowed to tell what he

approved Of the passage Of law doing
away with the internal revenue on wood
alcohol Wood alcohol he continued, was
taxed the same as grain alcohol, even
though IT was not drinkabie, and he had
vet to hear OF a case where il was be-
inc used for that purpose. Wood alcohol
which IS used largely in manufacturing
should not be taxed any more than was
varnish. he said. but II a majority OF
the people would suffer by having the
so or go per cent. tax rescinded he
thought it best to continue It. and he
would close his factories. lie did not
see how II would affect the people. He
was i'm favor. however of continuing the
tax on grain alcohol. as that could be
used for drinking purposes.
The company he represented, he said
manufactured u per cent OF the wood
alcohol made. and had an overproduction
OF 1000 barrels. which were shipped 70
Europe. and sold at a loss OF cents a
gallon. Sixty cents. the price paid for
good alcohol to-day. barely covered the
cost Of production. and he considered that
a fair profit could be made If It We're sold
at u cents a gallon. His company was

obtained by a process Of squeezing the
Juice from the wood. after the wood Is
converted into charcoal
At this point the hearing was adjourn
