THE MEMORY OF FISH.
Sometimes Keeps Them from Biting a
Second Time.

Fisherman believe that a fish al
most caught first time does not easily
lvt itself be caught a second time, that
he remembers the pain he suffered, and
that he even lets his companions know
his cruel experience. This is easily
accounted for by their memory and
NJ. SemOn gives an incident charac-
teristic of the subject which shows
that certain fish have their memory
seconded by particular gift of OBJ
seryati0n. He had seen around a ship
in which he was sailing a number OF
those curious fish called echineis re-
mora. ore OF the peculiarities of which
is that on the top of the head they
have a kind of hook, which permits
them to attach themselves to a vessel
or to the belly Of fish larger than
themselves. NJ. Semon wished to pro-
cure some specimens and threw into
the water a hook baited with a piece
of crab. A first remora was soon
taken, but the others, having evidently
seen the capture, allowed the line to
be thrown into the water many times
without even touching it. They re-
NAMED attached to the vessel, regard
ing with an Indifferent eye the most
succulent bits that could be offered
them. NJ Semon renewed the expert
ment, and in no case could he capture
two remoras belonging to the same
band. These fish have evidently pow
ers Of observation and a well-deyeloped
memory.

March DelinaatOr.

A timely article in the March De-
iineator Is devoted to the details OF
growing Seeds, Plants and Bulbs. The
timeliness is outweighed, however, by
the fact that the article is designed to
open up to women a new line Of health
full money making.
The Delineator is devoted solely to
the interests OF women, and in many
of its main features is an invaluable
guide to the thrifty women who have
to make their own clothes, as we'll as
to the women who purchase clothing,
yet desire advice and suggestions in
doing so.

Slaughter of Boxers.
Shanghai, Sept. 7.-Chang Chi Tung,
the Wu-chang viccroy. has telegraphed
an urgent appeal to the British consul,
urging Great Britain to institute peace
negotiations. He emphasizes the magni-
tude n British trade interests and re-
fers to the activity of the secret socie-
ties and the decline of trade, citing these
as vital reasons why England should
take the lead instead of, as in 1894, al
lowing Russia to usurp her power and
prestige His final ground of appeal is
that Great Britain, the United States
and Japan have shown anxiety to pro-
mote commerce and to befriend China,
and he imploreS these powers to appoint
plenipotentares authorized to open
peace negotiations with Ii Hung Chang.
The city is full of conflicting rumors

Mr.. ROckhiII's Explanation.
William Woodville Rockhill, United
States special commissioner in China,
when questioned regarding his denial of
statements made by him and cabled to
the United States from Shanghai last
Sunday, said the state department had
cabled him regarding the interview, and,
as he considered the conversation per-
sonal, he had felt justified in replying
that he had given no interview. The cor
respondent on the occasion in question
visited Mr. ROckhill as Il correspondent
and for the purpose of inquiring whcth-
er, in Mr.. Rockhill's opinion, Russia
would withdraw from Peking. As Mr..
Rockhill did not request the correspond
ent to refrain from publishing his views
as expressed during the conversation the
correspondent thought he desired to have
them made known.
1t is reported that 1000 Boxers have
been killed and wounded in conflicts with
the troops of General Yuan Shi Kai,
military governor of Shangtung.
Reports from Wu-chow indicate that
serious disaffection exists mt Lun-chow.

BRlTONS ARE PLEASED.
Germnny's Firm Attitude IA Source
of Satisfaction

London, Sept. 7.-Germanys polite re-
fusal to withdraw from Peking is com
mented upon with keen satisfaction in
London. and the hope is expressed that
Lord Salisbury will show similar firm
ness. The British reply has not yet been
formulated. Lord Salisbury desires to
consult with his colleagues and has noti-
fed the foreign office of his intention to
return to London from the continent ear
ly next week.
There is little doubt, however, that
Germany's reply is the outcome of the
discussion carried on during the last few
days between the European cabinets and
that the compromise policy of maintain
ing the occupation of the capital. but
withdrawing the greater part of the
troops to Tien-tsin. will be found to have
met with general concurrence.
From Shanghai it is reported that ia
pan has notified the powers of her will
lingness to withdraw her troops provided
an adequate guard is left for the Legal
tions and on condition that China formal
ly requests evacuation and opens genuine
negotiations for peace. Altogether ap-
pearances are more hopeful, and it is
likely that when Field Marshal Count
Won Waldersee arrives a fortnight hence
at Taku he will find the allies agreed
upon some common policy.
