OF the yellow canary may be altered
to an orange red by mixing cayenne
pepper with its food, though It is true
that the color change may be produced
only in very young birds whose feath-
ers are not completely matured. 1t is
also q matter of experiment that all
varieties of canarles are not equally
susceptible to the influence of the pep
per, and 1t is very curious fact that
II the pigment that causes the red
color OF the pepper be mixed with the
tood or the birds, without the other
constituents, yellow -colored canaries
are not in the slightest degree affected
by 1t, while brown birds or the brown
feathers of yellow birds become dis
tinctly lighter in hue.
Here is another interesting expert
ment; The large tortose-shell butter
hy normally feeds upon the leaves Of
the elm, while the small tortoise-shell
is addicted to nettles; but when some
images OF the large tortoise-shell were
pred from caterpillars that had been
round upon nettles, they showed a
wonderful similarity to the smaller
species, though the color was nearer
to that of the larger. Quite in the
same line is the observation that the
thorn moth exhibits variations in color
according as the larva is fed upon oak,
hawthorn, lime, or lilac. Many other
experiments have shown a similar ef-
tect OF food in modifying or completely
changing the color of animals.
Among the changes of color that are
most perpleXing, if one would refer
their cause to utility only, is that OF
the gull, which is blue and white, and
is therefore generally allowed to be Of
protective value. But for the first
three years of their lives several COM
mon species of gull have a brownish-
speckled plumage, which is totally un-
like that of the older birds, on which
fact Mr.. Beddard remarks: "If one
color be advantageous, the other must
be the reverse; and three years is
either a considerable period, or it is
not long enough"
Another perpleXing part of the SUBJ
jecr is the color of deep-sea animals.
1t is an established fact that marine
animals can and do live at the enor-
nous depth of more than five miles
below the surface of the water 1t is
also certain that the sunlight does not
penetrate to that depth, so that the
animals hat exist there exist in the
midst Of more than midnight darkness.
Yet the fact is, that brilliant colora-
tion is generally found in them. Of
what use can it be? How can natural
selection or sexual selection have any
thing to do with it? 1t is true indeed,
that there may be phosphorescent light
emitted by the animals themselves, and
of this there are many evidences; but
though the deep-sea fish may be guild
ed to its prey by a series of natural
"bull's-eye' lanterns. the color of its
prey could have no protective effect,
but exactly the reverse.-Our Animal
Friends.

AFTER THE BATTLE.
Tommy Daniels Had Congratulations
Showered Upon Him from All Quar-
ters-Hyde Park Was True.

The politicians on this side were not
much in evidence yesterday. Those
who had not heard positive results
were making diligent inquiries, Here
and there a group of men were eN-
changing stories as to how each had
voted, how much each had lost or won,
etc.
But one fact seemed to supercede ali
others. The one pleasant memory re-
mained. Hyde Park had voted for her
chosen Tommy" Daniels, and he had
run ahead of his ticket. Clerk of the
Courts Daniels had a hard time to get
to and from his meals yesterday.
Friend and foe seemed satisfied to meet
in common congratulation when he ap-
peared.
The political club rooms were al
most deserted last night, but the few
remaining were diligently figuring TO-
tails and estimating losses and gains.
one circumstance which seemed to APP
pear very evident was the fact that
nowhere was heard the familiar Il
told YOU So" Hyde Park was true to
her Republican principles.

As carry as the ta.rd round Sulllvan
was twice cautioned for holding. II
the fifth Palmer just missed an upper
cut which might have settled matters.
Fe had the best OF the exchanges from
the beginning. but Sullivan made
plucky fight throughout. In the ninth
and tenth rounds sullivan forced the
fighting and really had the better OF
his opponent until the last half minute
of the tenth, when Palmer steadied him
with "a couple Of fine punches in the
face In the following rounds Sullivan
was clever and strong, but unable TO
make headway against the little Eng
lishman's superior skill.
In the thirteenth Sullivan got in his
left, but was again cautioned for hold
ing and hitting too low, In the four
teenth Palmer damaged his opponents
face badly, and In the fifteenth Sullivan
was evidently getting weak, but he
managed to land his left and right on
Palmers ribs and in the succeeding
round showed lots OF pluck in spite OF
his weakness. Palmer seemed con-
tented with his previous work and just
maintained his advantage. In the
eighteenth Sullivan tried all he knew
how to bring .Off a knockout, but failed.
In the nineteenth the American reached
the face and head OF the Englishman,
but received severe punishment in re-
turn on the nose and mouth. In the
twentieth Sullivan again forced the
fighting, but Palmer won with lot
of points.
Sullivan was so much upset by his de-
feat that he wept; but his game efforts
have secured him many friends and he
may be congratulated on having made
Palmer extend himself more than any
lad the Englishman ever met.
Preceding the main contest, Jerry
Driscoll. champion OF the English navy,
beat Freeman Martin. the Nova SEQ
tlan, in six rounds, and John Hughes
OF London beat George Reynolds OF
America i'm eight rounds
After the contest il was ascertained
that Palmer had injured both his hands
during the eleventh round, the right
being practically useless. As soon as
Sullivan heard Palmer declared the vic
tor he begged earnestly for another
match.
