The vast majority of fishes feed on fishes

For instance, all the textbooks declare
that gray mullet feeds on the living

mud in its mouth, which doubtless is true,
but they ought to explain that owing to
the peculiar construction Of its throat

amount of letterpress will persuade a
Lands End fisherman that gray mullet
cannot or does not eat seaweed. He is
convinced from lifelong observation of
its habits that it does, and the fact that
the fislis stomach Is often found full of
seaweed proves that the fisherman is
right. Fishes which undoubtedly catch

was during the trouble at the Woods

President Shaffer said the conference
on Thursday must be final as the asse-

Meeting of Liberal Party In England
Gives Leader Vote of Confidence.

Gives Leader Vote of Con ntidcnce
London, July s.-The much-discussed
meeting OF the liberals called by Sir
Henry Campbell -Bannernan. liberal
leader In the house of commons, with
the object of ascertainlny whether he
still retains the confidence of the partyY
held at the Reform Club today, resulted
In the adoption of vote of confidence
IN the leader Of the opposition. All fac
tions OF the liberals attended The lib
eral imperialists, headed By II. Fl. AS
quith. were there almost to man, but
Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerma and Sir
William Vernon Harcourt We're the only
two who received any marked recogni-
tion. The crowd watching the arrivals
greeted them with cries of "Hows your
friend Kruger7" Sir Henry made con-
ciliatory speech. The imperialists
showed they would not be associated
with any anti-naational policy; but the
gathering was harmonious and seems to
have resulted in temporary clearing
Of the air.
The course Of his speech Campbell
Bannerman met the imperialists so far
as to say the war must be brought to
victorious conclusion. but he thought
the liberals ought to insist on amnesty
In the settlement. While the country
had the sword In one hand 1t ought to
have the olive branch in the other and
show q disposition to come to terms
with an enemy that had fought go
brayely
Asquith expressed the highest appre-
ciation Of the qualities of Sir Henry,
but at the same time he regretted the
liberal leader in the house had not been
NOR outspoken in policy of honest dif-
ference. rather than in an Impossible
attempt to reconcile the difference. He
urged those taking the views which he
himself held should be free to express
their opinions within the pale of the
party. Asquith then supported the reso-
luton of confidence in Bannerman.
