HAVE Fishes Memoru?

BIOLOGISTS have long been in doubt
as to whether fishes are gifted with
! the faculty of remembering persons
and places, or not. Some claim that
they cannot remember, while others in
sist that they are endowed with memory,
though possibly only in a limited degree.
The following story seems to show that
the latter are right. A student of the
Polytechnic School, in Paris, recently no
ticed that whenever he walked with
some friends in the Luxembourg Garden
the fishes in the large basins there regu-
larly followed him as he strolled around
the little ponds.
AS the students never feed the fishes and
hardly pay any attention to them, such
conduct was inexplicable until 1t was
solved by the gardener, whose duty it is
to feed the fish. The uniform worn by
the students of the Polytechnic School is
black, with red stripes, and that worn by
the gardener and other attendants is very
similar.
Now, evidently the fish thought that the
students were gardeners. who had come
to supply them with food, as in no other
way can we account for their habit of
following the students whenever they
walked round the basins. We must con-
clude, therefore, that, whatever may be
the case with other fish, those at least in
the Luxembourg Gardens have an excel
lent memory.
