THE FOOD OF FISHES
TITS QUITE AS VARIED AS THAT
OF ANIMALS.
Vegetables Are the Foundnt!on-Pinnts
Feed Ncgetnrinus They In Turn Sour-
ish tho Cirnivorn Most Fishes Seem
to Eat OthcE Fishes

There are many thousands of species
of fishes and naturally there is Il great
diversity in their food. Nevertheless,
1t is possible to divide it into seven
distinct classes. Now. all the animal
life rests on II foundation of Negcta-
bles. Plants store up the vital forces
in the air and sunshine and pass them
on TO the great army Of vcSetarians
who in their turn yield them up to the
animals which live on flesh. One or
two additional steps may sometimes
be interposed. but the result is the
same. y caterpillar eats cabbage.
an iclncumon fly quarters her brood
on the caterpillar, an insect-cating
bird snaps up the fly and bird OF
prey pounces upon the fiy-catcler and
finishes the story. The inevitable or
der is plant vegetarian. tlesh-eater.
The vast majority of fishes feed on
fishes or other animals found in the
sea. Probably, however. the vegeta-
rinns are more numerous than are
generally supposed. For instance, all
the textbooks, declare that the gray
mullct feeds OH the living matter OBJ
tained by straining sand or mud
through its mouth. which doubtless is
true. but they do not 20 on to explain
that owing to The peculiar construc-
ton of its throat larger bodies are pre-
vented from passing into the stomach,
which is not true. No amount of let
ter-prcss will persuade a Lands End
fisherman that gray mnllet cannot or
does not eat Seawced; lie Is convinced
from lifelong observation that ii does,
and the fact that the fish's stomach is
often found full of Seaweed proves
that the fisherman is right. Fishes
which undoubtedly catch and swallow
living prey are wont on occasion to
treat themselves to dish of vegcta.
bles. | have just assisted ut the post
norton examination of Dream which
contained in addition to n crab large
helpings of two kinds of seaweed i'll
different stages of digestion.
But doubtless it is IL fact that fishes
live for the most part on animal diet.
and it is obvious that this must con.
sist largely of some other class than
their own. If fishes ate fishes only
the race would soon become extinct.
Fortunately the sea is full of life, and
for those which cannot or will not eat
seawced there are worms innumernble,
jelly fishes. star fishes aud sea urchins,
the great host living in shells. from the
oyster TO the periwinkle and the lim-
pet, crabs and all other kindred and.
lastly, other fishes. The appetite must
he capricious. indeed which cannot
find something TO tempt it among all
this vast array.

The fact that some time ago the RuS-
sian government rejected the plan pro-
posed by two British engineers to un-
ite the Black and the Caspian seas by
a canal does not, it seems, indicate
that Russia is opposed to such an en-
terprisc. says St Petersburg dis

vanced beyond the condition of vague
project. The undertaking is one of CO.
lossal dimensions and requires for its
execution II corresponding amount of
preliminary investigation of levels and
water facilities. Such Investigations
as have been conducted hitherto with n
view TO the construction of the water
way have been for the most part the
work of private enterprise and their
results are not sufficiently definite or
trustworthy to warrant their accept

coming closer 10 Secretary Root, said
in voice, that ut first wavered, but
finally came deep and strong, while
as if 10 control his nervousness he held
firmly TO the lapel Of his coat with his

cordance with your request, and in
this hour of deep and terrible national
bereavement, | wish to state that it
shall be my aim TO continue absolutely
unbroken, the policy of President Me
kinley for the peace and prosperity
and honor of our beloved country"
The President stepped farther into
the bay window and Judge Hazel, TAX
ing up the constitutional oath of office
which had been prepared on parch-
ment, asked the President TO raise his
right hand and repeat it after him.
There was hush like death In the
room rs the judge read few words
mt Il time and the President in n strong
voice and without Il tremor and with
his raised hand as steady as if carved
from marble, repeated it after him.
"And thus J. swear" he ended it.
The hand dropped by his side, the
chin for an instant rested on the
breast and the silence remained I'M
broken for Il couple of minutes as
though the new President of the Unit
ed States was Offering silent prayer.
Judge Hazel broke it. saying:

this was the signal for the score of the
people who had been favored by wit
Messing of the ceremony. to retire. AS
they turned TO 80, the President said:
II will shake hands with you people
gladly" ard with something of his old
smile returning he first shook hands
with the members of the Cabinet pres
ent, then Senator Depew and finally
with few guests and newspaper men.
Immediately following the dispers-
ing of the spectators after the taking
of the oath, the President asked the
Cabinet members present TO confer
with him. The conference lasted very
nearly two hours, and when 1t was fin
ished the President said to the Asso-
ciated Press representatives:
Following on the brief statement l
made when taking the oath, that l
would follow the administrative lines
laid down by President Mckinley, |
requested the members of the Cabinet
who were present to remain in their
positions. at least for the present.
They have assured me that they will,
and may say that ! have assurances
also from the absent members"
Inquiry wns made of the President
as to whether an extra session of Con-
gress would be called by him. and he
said that there was 10 fundamental
law requiring the calling of Congress
together upon the succession of Il vice
president TO the presidency, and that
after consultation with the Cabinet
they had decided that no such extra

was also gangrenous. tie gangrene in
volving the pancreas. The bullet has
not yet been found. There was no
sign of peritonitis. or disease of other
organs. The heart walls were very
thin. There was no evidence of any
attempt at repair on the part of ma

Ali!burn House, Buffalo, Sept, IA
President Roosevelt reached Buffalo
nj $40 this afternoon, accompanied
only by his private secretary, William
Loeb. Jr. When he left the train an
escort of the Fourth signal corps
formed about him and conducted him
10 an automobile which his friend,
Ansley Wilcox, had in waiting.
The President rode to the Wilcox
home, where he stopped TO dress and
then went to the Milburn house to
make his official call of coincidence.
The place selected to take the oath
of Office was the library of Mr.. VIII
cox's house, II rather small room, but
picturesque, the heavy oak trimmings
and the massive book cases giving all
somewhat the appearance of n legal
den. A pretty bay window with
stained glass ard heavy hangings,
formed background and against this
the President took his position.
Surrounding him were the five men,
bers of the Cabinet, Secretaries Root,
master General Smith. Nearby We're

Judge Hazel stood near the Presi
don't in the bay window and the latter
showed his almost extreme nervous
ness by pucking at the lapel of his
long froct coat and nervously tapping
the hardwood floor with his heel. He
stcpDed over once to Secretary Root
and for about five minutes they con-
yersed earnestly. The question ut is
sue was whether the President should
first sign an oath of office and then
swear in. or whether he should swear
in first and sign the document in the
ease after.
At precisely 3:42 o'clock, Secretary
Root ceased his conversation with the
President and. stepping back, while
an absolute hush fell upon every one
in ,he room. said in an almost in
audible voice:
MIR. Vice President, L" then his
voice broke and for fully two minutes
the tears came down his face and his
lips quivered, so that he could not
continue his utterances. There were
sympathetic tears from those about
and two great drops ran down either
check of the successor of William Me
K!nley. Mr.. Roots chin was on his
breast. Suddenly throwing back his
head. as IL with an effort, he continued
in IL broken voice:
