SIAMESE FIGHTING FISH.
""" meat, and Can XIII Fishes
treble Its Size-Makes a Queer
Whistling sound.

gamy, omnivorous fish with a
cannlDalistic tendency is the paradise
hsh which sports in the white house
aquarium. In size it is no longer
THAN ones little finger. The male is
the tighter, though its mate will not
hesitate to take a fin against anything
'hat comes its way. A pair Of these
1ish were brought to the white house
from Siam ten years ago, and it is es-
tlmated that there are now between
SIX hundred and thousand of the
species in the aquarium. They are
fed principally on raw meat and are
kept in separate tanks. Their favor
tie prey is the gold fish, and il tiny
paradise fish, when the opportunity
offers, will tackle goldfish treble its
size and kill it with one blow from its
fins.
The paradise fish displays instinct
that comes close to intelligence. 1t
knows its keeper, and when he goes
near the tank, which he never does ex-
cept when he has food for it, the little
fellow comes to the surface and
makes peculiar noise which resem-
bles low whistle. This is continued
till the keeper losses in the food.

STOCK GAMBLING.
Evils Arising from the Universal
Yearnine to Get Something
for Nothing.

Secrecy made it possible to organize
both the opportunity and the tempta-
ton to play the industrial game with
loaded dice, says the Engineering Mag
azine. The itching to get something
for nothing upon the market is at any
time the master vice in trade. One
risk of the business boom is always
that it let's loose those reckless forces
that hasten every disaster of the next
business collapse. The new "com-
bines," if they manipulate clandes-
timely, easily fire every passion to
play with stock variations to lay
traps for the unwary, to declare divI-
dends that never have been earned
and to unload lying values upon the
public. 1t is evident that every form
of secret confectionery hidden device
as to methods of management-im
mensely overstimulates this dicer's
spirit, and, therefore, adds to the
most dangerous uncertainties of bust
ness. That this evil can be greatly
lessened has been proved not only by
EnSllsn eApeflence-lt mas Deen clear
ly proved by Massachusetts expert
ence. The degree of publicity 10
which these corporations must nov
submit in Massachusetts is far great
er than is commonly supposed, and
has been attended by results 50 hope
full as to mark a sure way for further
legislation. This experience, together
with the experience of the interstate
commissioner spite of all its failures
may well furnish safe basis for
such federal action as shall give unity
of procedure in different states.

OBSTINATE JURORS.
Case ia Which One Determined Man
Made Eleven Think as
He Did.

There was a "hold-up" in the jury
room of the court of common pleas in
this city few days ago, says the
Hartford Comm Courant. 4 jury,
which had been out IL minutes. re-
turned verdict for the plaintiff 10
recover damages of $50 and costs.
After the verdict had been accepted,
one Of the jurymen said that when
the first ballot was taken eight Of the
jurors voted in favor Of the defendant
and rour 60 the plaintiff. \ later bal
lot r,s,'lrG ~ II votes being cast for
the defendant and one for the plain
tiff. The Jurors were in a hurry to
get home and the II who voted for the
defendant endeavored to persuade the
other juror to turn with them. This
he refused to DO and he stated EN-
phaticaliy that he would hold out if it
caused disagreement or kept the
jury ont all night.
The one man was evidently stronger
than the II who were against him. lie
held to his position, and finally sue
ceeded in bringing the II over, with
the final result that a verdict was
agreed upon for the plaintiff to recov-
er $25 and costs. The II jurors who
turned would not divulge the name Of
the juror who stood out for the plair-
tiff from the beginning.

WORK DONE BY ENGINEERS.
In Any Undertaking 1t Is with The IA
Simply IA Question of Max
ing Money.

When you come TO reckon up the
work that is done by engineers-that
which really keeps our large works
going and finds employment for our
workmen-it is what may be generally
classed as new commercial work"
says the Engineering Magazine. Into
this class fall all extensions of our rail
ways, all expansion in our fleets of
steamers, all increases to our factories,
workshops, mines, tramways and the
like; and the point to be observed in ali
these is that all are simply purchased
for the purpose of making money.
In other words, they are investments.
There is no more definite rule for the
number of ships that sail on the At
lantic than there is for the number of
cabs that can find work in the streets
of London. Nobody can doubt that if
cabs could be built great deal cheap
er more cabs would be put OH the road
and more work would be found for
coachbuilders and their workmen So
it is with ships. A ship is nothing more
than the packing case of the goods that
come over in it. What the public wants
is the cargo. What the ship~owner
wants is the profit on the carrying
trade. Either of them wants the ship
only as a means to these ends, and if
ships can be built cheaper the more
are they able and willing to afford.

THE BELL HORSE.
An Animal That Plays the Part of
Drum Major of the Mule Train
I'm BOeriand.

The most energetic and peace-de-
Transvaal is the mule train, and the
most necessary member of this outfit is
the bell horse.
This animal leads the caravan and is
the drum major of the whole outfit
lie carries no burden save great re-
sponsibility and clear-sounding bell.
All mules destined to serve her ma jesty
are trained to follow the bell horse. A
lected, as for some reason or other
mules follow this color most faithfully.
Pack mules become very much at
tached to the bell horse of their train
and refuse to move either forward or
backward if he is not leading. For this
reason the greatest calamity that can
befall an army is the death of the bell
horse. On one occasion of the Indian
frontier wars the whole mule train
came TO a sudden standstill owing to
the death of the bell horse Nor would
anything induce the animals to move
till one of the officers substituted an
other white horse in the dead ones
place. On seeing, as they thought, their
old favorite in his place once more all
the mules moved forward to greet him,
and only by driving the fraudulent bell
horse forward quicker than the mules
could follow was the deception kept up.

DEATH TO THE CLASSICS.
RebuI1ed Edward Everetrs
Pedantry.

The decline of the use of classical
quotations in legislative bodies may be
traced TO the case of Edward Everett,
who once concluded stately speech
in congress with a long, sonorous and
suFerbly modulated citation of a pas
sage from Tacitus, and then took his
seat, says the Boston Herald. No
sooner was he through than up
sprang burly member from what
was then frontier state of the west.
He had once been an Indian agent,
aud no sooner was he on his legs than
he began to pour out a vehement ha
rangue in Choctaw. After awhile the
speaker called him to order. = don't
see why my freedom Of speech should
be abridged" he cried. You let the
gentleman from Massachusetts run
on, and didn't understand The first
word of his lingo any better than he
does mine" The scene was described
as very comical, but it struck he
death knell of further classical quota
tions in a congress that had not a ray
Of an idea what the unintelligible
lingo of Cicero and Iacitns was driy-
ing AT.

PALE BLUE AIR.

The color Of pure liquid air is q

two samples of liquid air in glass
tubes: one was made from air which
had been washed to purify it from
dust, SCOT, carbonic acid and other
impurities. This, when condensed,
was a pale blue Liquids the other
sample was made by condensing some

the audience was assembled. and WAS

Physical Life of Our Planet

interesting paper by Prof. klossoysky,
entitled la We Physique de Notre

thor regards the earth as a living or
ganism whose functions are all closely
connected according to certain laws.
Even the variations Of terrestrial mag
netism are connected with a system Of
currents which traverse the earth's at
mosphere and are correlated with its
cyclonic activity. lie considers also that
the magnetic and electrical fields have
an Influence on the progress Of phe-

professors idea of the earth as an or
