FISHES DO GO UP HILL.
An Angler Gives His Reason for That
Belief

Fishes have more sense than they
are credited with having said an old
angler. land my experience has taught
me not to put much faith in the state
ment that they only know things from
the vibration due to conclusion. I
think they reason in some way or other.
I don't know just how it is.
II am satisfied that nature has not
been particularly extravagant in the
matter of giving fish intelligence. Be
sides, know that their eyes are fiat,
and they can see but very little. sup
pose the eye of the fish is worse, if any
thing, than the eye of the reptile. But,
taking all these things into censidera-
ton, I am convinced from little things
have observed that the fish is pretty
wise member, and that he at least
knows what is good for him when he is
confronted by the blunt issue of sur
viving or not surviving. Why is it
that a fish always founders toward the
water That's the point I have in
others that has convinced me that the
fish has more sense than we think. I
have never seen a fish that would not
founder toward the water.
ct know two answers will be made TO
this suggestion. One is that there is
generally q slope toward the water, and
that hence the force of gravity deter
mines the direction of the f1sh's move
ment. And the other is a primary rea-
son-the matter of instinct as dis
tinguished from that of reason.
These explanations do not satisfy
me- In the first place I reject the the
ory which makes a difference between
instinct and reason. I cannot tell the
difference between the attributes. so
much are they alike. In the second
place I want to tell you that 1 have
seen fish f1oundering up hill. Why?
Simply because they were forced to
founder up hill in order to get back
into the water Does a fish know any
thing about direction and distance? I
think so. I have seen them jump and
founder up hill, inch after inch. until
they got back to the edge of the stream
ont of which they had been jerked. 1t
may be what some of the writers call
instinct but to save my soul l can
tell instinct from what we are accus-
forms of life. New Orleans Times

MAKING OXYGEN.
Interesting Operation of Taking It
from the Air for Use.

A plant for the manufacture of oxy-
gen to be used in charging its distilled
water was put in operation recently at
an ice plant in Los Angeles, Cal. Oxy-
genated water is now being prescribed
by physicians in certain diseases, and
hence a cheap and simple method of
separating the oxygen in the atmoS-
phere becomes a matter of Importance.
The process employed by the Los An
geleS company is based on the principle
that certain chemical compound

the oxygen it contains when subjected
to the action of Jet of steam. A blast
manganate of soda. this chemical pos
sessing the peculiar property of absorb
ing oxygen from the atmosphere, part
ing with it when exposed to steam, and
being reformed again upon exposure to
the air. The process may be continued
indefinitely, when the ingredients are
placed in the retort and proper connec-
tions from air and steam made. No
more chemicals are required. 1t may
be likened to dipping a sponge in
water, squeezing it dry and then re-
peating the operation indefinitely.
Oxygen made by this process, it is
claimed, contains no gas other than
oxygen, and no elements of any de-
Scription other than slight traces of
atmospheric nitrogen. Hence it re-
quires no washing to free it from chic
rine, nor any publication whatever. The

Students at Washburn Form a
SOcialistic Club.
Rev. Charles Nj. SheldOn's Ser
mon Story the Inspiration.
AMONG THE BRIGHTEST
Young Men Who Form the Club
Stand Well.
Only One Other Similar Organ
izatiOn in the Country.

Five students of Washburn college
have organized a Socialist club, the sec
ond of the kind in the United States,
and will hold regular meetings for the
discussion Of socialism in its various
phases. The charter members of the
club are Ludwig Katterfelt. A. ]. Bo-
linger, James Clark. Norman Lands
and John Dadisman.
Charles NJ. Sheldon's story now being
read at Central church is what inspired
the organization. The Story is entitled
THE Christian Socialist" and Mr..
Sheldon reads one chapter every Sun
day night instead of a sermon.
Wisconsin university is the only other
college in this country, so far as known,
which has a socialist club. The Wash
burn college club will join with that of
Wisconsin, forming the neucleus for a
future federation of sociahstic clubs in
all the colleges of the country. The
Washburn college club will also be al
He'd with the Topeka Socialistic club
which holds regular meetings in this
city.

cry one of the frye students enrolled in
the Washburn SocialiStic club is an ex-
ceptionally strong and brainy young
man. They are among the leading stud
ents of the college, and their influence
is bound to be felt at the school. John
Dadfsman is the captain of this years
football team. and has been closely as
ISOLATED with Charles NJ Sheldon for a
number of years. Dadisman is very
popular and is one of the best football
players the college ever had. 1t is said
that Mr.. Sheldon used him as the living
model from which he drew the character
of the hero in the story, Edward Blake.

Ludwig Katterfelt. another of the
members of the club. comes by his So
cialism naturally, for he is a German by
birth. He came to this country when II
years old. and a few weeks ago was
considerably surprised to receive from
the Emperor of Germany a notice that
he was wanted in the Faderland to
shoulder q musket and serve his time in
the army. The emperor-through his
officials-poltely informed Mr.. Katter
felt that he was a deserter. and would
better get a hustle on him and report for
duty, or he would be dealt with accord
ingly. Katterfelt gave Cousin William
the merry ha-ha. and put his letter in
the curio cabinet. Then he took out his
final naturalization papers.
Arthur J. Bolinger, Norman Lands
and James Clark have all become prom
inent at the college by their work as
orators. They are contest winners and
debaters, and will probably extend
challenge to the rest of the school to
meet them in debate on the question of
socialism.
The members of the socialist club
have not yet elected officers, but will
probably meet sometime this week to
do that. They hope to add largely to
their charter membership, and leave at

ANCIENT MILITARY SCHOOL
Historic Ground on Which Louisiana
Youths Are Trained.

The Louisiana State University and
Agricultural and Mechanical college is
known as the military college of the
south, says the Baltimore Sun. 1t is
located at Baton Rouge, and numbers
among. its graduates many men who are
now officers in the regular army. Gen.
w. T. Sherman was the first president
of the institution before the civil war,
and, Notwithstanding his espousal Of
the northern cause, his memory is still
revefed at this scene of his former la
bors, and his life-size portrait in oils
occupies a prominent place in the hand
some assembly hall of the college. -
The site of the university is historic
ground. 1t was for many years mill
tary post, and the garrisons of France,
England, Spain and the United States
have all at different periods occupied it.
After it was abandoned for military
purposes it was turned over to the state
of Louisiana for purposes of education.
The original buildings, however, still
stand and, with the flag floating over
them, present striking and beautiful
appearance.
Here in 1879, Calves. the Spanish gov
ernor general of louisiana, after an en-
gagement that lasted for three days,
captured the British garrison. The
Spaniards were in turn driven out by a
party of Americans. and this marked
the passing of west Florida from the DO
main of Spain. In 1861 the Conreder-
ateS captured the post, ana the next
year a desperate battle. involving both
| land and sea forces. was fought near
by, and the Confederate ram Arkansas
was blown up in the view of the land
batteries.
Many distinguished officers served
here while it was still military post.
Among those whose names are asso-
ciated with the place are Wilkinson and
the first Wade Hampton, Winfield Scott
and Zachary Taylor Grant and Lee and
Stonewan Jackson. Mcclellan and Joe
Johnston, Bragg. Rosecrans, Longstreer,
Harvey, Thomas land Beauregard, For
rest and Phil Sheridan, Hardee and
Hood Hancock and Custer, Admiral
| Porter and Bishop General Polk
Among the great civilians we recall the
names of Abraham Lincoln, Clay and
Calhoun and Jefferson Davis. There is
! hardly place elsewhere in the south
| so rich in historic associations
! The university is true to its tradi-
| tions. The sons of Louisiana are SOL
diers by inheritance. and while they
revere the cause for which their fathers
fought, no northern boys are today more
| loyal to the flag which is lowered at
sunsett every evening to the well known
| strains of retreat while the battalion OF
over 30 cadets stands on parade at at
1 tention. Everything about the univer-
| sfty is conducted on military lines, and
by means OF frequent inspections a
proper system of discipline is constantly
maintained.-United States Servise Re-

ban town. They started a small weekly
paper at Meridian. Kan.
