THE FlSH'S COLOR,
Able In Marvellous Degree to Adapt
Itself to Its Surroundings.

Able In Marvellous Degree to Adapt
Itself to Its Surroundings
1t is a familiar fact that fishes can
change their colors at will. Many fishes
make remarkable changes. Free swim.
ming fishes most commonly preserve
their normal colors, though these fishes
can change. The fishes that change most
are the bottom feeders. For their own
protection from other fishes that would
prey upon them and the better to enable
them themselves to capture food these
change their colors to match the bottom
they are on SO as to make themselves
invisible. They do this often to degree
that seems extraordinary.
In one Of the smaller salt water tanks
at the New York aquarium there are q
number Of small flatfish. The bottom Of
the tank is covered with coarse gravel.
The great bulk Of the gravel is com
posed of pebbles Of brownish white, q
sort of pale iron rust color. Scattered
in this are pebbles Ct deeper tinge,
with now and then one Of brownish
gray or brown black.
The flatfish lying on the gravel at the
bottom Of this tank initiate its oolors in
their own backs in manner that is
marvellous. They are Of notified brown,
like the colors Of the gravel, and the
smallest Of the flatfish is the most
wonderful. They are all thin and lie
close to the bottom. The edge Of the lit.
tie one blends with it, and it's back is q
wonderful mosaic Of browns SO like the
gravel of the surrounding bottom that
it appears to be part Of it. Even in
this clear water at little distance the
fish is scarcely distinguishable. New

Trying . Dead Man.

1t is probably an unusual thing in
any country for court to sit in judg.
ment on the dead, but in Berlin letter
to the Chicago Record an account is
given Of a trial in which the accused
was dead man.
It was not his first trial. That had
taken place in his lifetime, and its re.
suit had been sentence Of imprison
ment for 10 months The delinquent
was bureau chief in the tax Office of
Schweidnitz, Silesia, and it was proved
that he had embezzled funds and forged
documents. Soon after his sentence,
however, he showed signs Of unsettled
reason, and at longth died a maniac

DRY from the stain that rested upon it,
had the case reopened and proved by

ted the crime.
Thus occurred the peculiar circum-
stance of dead man on trial The trial
resulted in the reversal of the former
sentence, the court pronouncing the de.
ceased not guilty.

dred have reared large family Of children
residing In what was once the cellar of the
house which had taken fire one night and
was burned to tho ground. The family
moved In one end of the ruins and kept
their cattle IN the othorsend with the cattles
heads in the weather. Protection was
thrown up In front by placing a row Of
corn fodder to keep off the wind while
4 thatched roof Was built over the stock and
family and which has answered for years
as q house and barn.
+ The family had large open fire place in
one end which was built into the side Of an
lembank ment and this answered all pur-
poses for the famlly's needs. They raised
several head ofhorses which, always brought
the best Of prices and were tho most pow
erful and hardest horses raised for miles
around. Luxuries or the comfort Of home
the family has never known bus they SEEM
ed to thrive and appeared happy and con-
tented with their lot, They Kind OF farm
ed but were coutented with raising few
dollars worth OF produce each year, moro
than they and their stock consumed. Al
together they are one Of the most remark

their primitive manner Of living.
AFTER J. EDWARD ADDICKs.
John F. Salisbury, Of Dover, was seen
yesterday and he still has bis war paint on
and swears Vengeance now on j. Edward
Addicks who he saysisthe supposed owner
OF the Wilmington Sun. He Is tho man
John +. Is now cunning for and from his
way of thinking 1t will not be well for Mr..
Addioks " hen ne comes across him. He
has blood In his eye. and pronoanoes the
whole article in the Sun a lie" Only
this is mild term to give 1t. Those who
know John +. know that he Is no coward
and when he starts on the war path with
his Dover paint on his white, broad brim-
med hat, he means trouble IL he comes
across those whom he Is seeking
AS for the editor OF the Sun, he says he
Is beneath his notice, 1t Is the bigger game
he Is now cunning for.
We sound this warning from John F.
Salisbury, that Mr. Addicks may have
timely notice what he may expect II he
should stumble across the more than in
dignant Dover Democrat. We expect to
be able to publish quite an interesting ar
ticle in the near future when Greek meets
Greek for then will come the tug Of war.

e COUNCILMAN Cannon, from the Second
ward, still insists on his rights in the ap-
pointing of an official to one of the city
offices from his ward. Mr. Cannon has q
perfect right to bolt the caucus if no is to
be completely ign ored. He is holding out
for bis rights and should be consulted
when the patronage Is being distributed,
otherwise there will b, no filling of the
city offices until the other members of the
majority come to their senses, and give
md take. At the same time Chief Engi-
neer Wilson and his as ociates arc content

Tho report in the Morning Sun that the
personal property OF II. H. McMullin was

unwarranted. Mr. MoMullin is fully able

having no further use for his utensils dis.

KEEP IT Up.

AhhI ~ W.
We see no reason why Councilman Can
non from the second ward should not To-
sist upon his ward being remembered
, when the city offices are given out He
should not allow the other members of his
party to ignore his constituents entirely
as has been done for some time when the
good things" were given out. Ii Coun'
Gilman Cannon does not insist in recogni-
ton them there Is little II any use Of his
representing his ward.
Several months have passed away and az
yet the majority members of City Coun-
Gil have failed to fill any OF the city Offices
Tho fight first took place amongst the dis
pensers of the patronage when tho dead
lock resulted over the election Of officers
for City Auditors. Auditors clerk, City
Of Council, Clerk Of the Market, coal oil
Inspector. The second deadlock resulted
when he vaccine physicians were to be
elected.
This makes the third deadlock since
July last and none of the City Offices have
been filled This time we do not expect
to see 1t last SO long as the first two disa-
greements rs Republican officials are hold
ing the offices in the engineering and sur.
Cannon does not hold out for his rights
now, he will never get them from his fol-
low members of Council.
ANOTHER STAMP COMPANY TO START.
If the bill which has been presented by
Representative Donaldson prohibiting the
giving trading stamps to their customers
by the Wilmington merchants fail to pass
at this session of the Legislature there
will several other store, be started in

ready and have the money to start Trad.

lature fails to act upon the present bill.
Nothing can prevent the merchants who
are in either Of the Old Companies from

proposed new concernIt will ba II

have an opportunity to goin ii and share

1t Is one of the biggest schemes ever yet
started in the Trading Stamp line and will
come into more favor with the public than
either one of the two Trading Stamp
Companies. This is no bluff bu6 true

the Legislature fails to act in this matter
and give the merchants relief from the
evil which they, contend is discriminating
