HEARING OF FISH.
Harvard Zoologist Shows Tint New
England Kil1ifish Have Ears.

ENGLAND hl2l1MSM nave Ears.
AS long ago as the seventeenth CEN
fury it was noticed that fish have what
appeared to be ears, and from that
time till we'll in the nineteenth cc.ltury
nobody doubted that the fish were able
to hear with them. Then a EuJpean
scientist, experimenting with goldfish.
surprised his fellows By declaring that
the goldfish of his experiments had
proved that they responded to sound by
feeling rather than by hearing" as
human beings ordinarily understand 1t,
and an English scientist discovered
that several kinds of fish, evidently dis
turbed by any land conclusion that Vi
brated the water. were apparently deaf
to inner sounds that didn't vibrate it.
From that time the hearing of fishes
has been one Of the mooted questions
of science.
One of the latest investigators. Pro
lessor G. II. Parker of Harvard uni
versity. has lately shown by yet an
other series of experiments that Il GER
tain fish. the little New England min
now, or "killifish." does hear. and the
result of the experiments so far con-
Quoted seems to show that some fish
hear sounds as men and women do,
| while others are genuinely deaf. l1v-
ing in perpetual silence and feeling
a sound impression simply as the vibra-
ton which it produces in water is COM
municated to their sensitive bodies.
Many fish. however. although they do
not use their ears to hear with. find
them of the greatest value in maintain
ing their equilibrium in the water.
Without their ears these fishes would
be no more able to swim straight than
an intoxicated man is able to keep a
direct path on his way home from the
club. The ears, in other words. are all
important part in the nervous mechan-
ism by which the fish keeps a straight
and upright course through it's native
element.
Hearing itself, as has been pointed
out in the long series of scientific in,
vestigations that have been centereG
about fishes ears during the past dec
ade. was probably the last OF the five
senses to be developed. Frogs. toad!
and the like. for example. have Il yer,
deficient sense of hearing as compared
with birds and particularly with dog
and cats. The natural conclusion i
therefore hat the more highly devel
oppd fish have d distinct sense OF hear

experiments. While others less devel
oped are entirely deaf. lzaac Walton

PARTING OF
WAYS NEARBY
CANADA AND ENGLAND MUST
SPLIT COMPANY.
TWO COURSES ARE OPEN
Halifax Chronicle Declares That Ex-
listing Relations Cannot Con-
tinue Much Longer.

Halifax, N. S., Oct. 29.-The decla-
ration that present relations between
Canada and Great Britain cannot exist
much longer was made yesterday by
the Halifax Chronicle, the leading
newspaper, supporter in the marine
provinces of the liberal party.
In an unusually outspoken editorial
on the Alaskan boundary award, the
Chronicle expresses what it claims to
be unanimous dissatisfaction OF Cana
dams at the action of the British gov
eminent in the matter.
The paper says: "Tihis Alaskan cpl
sode has made it clear that our exist
ing relations to the empire cannot be
continued much longer. We are even
now at the parting OF the ways. Our
subordinate position has been so clear
ly and so humiliatingly revealed that
it must become u~nbearable."
The Chronicle adds that there are
now only two courses open for Canada
complete legislative independence
within the empire, acknowledging. the
sovereignty of the king of England
alone, or the status OF an Independent
nation. The paper says there is much
to commend the latter step because il
would free Canada from the danger O.
| being ever embroiled with the United
| States on account of it's European con
nection and at the anne time woult
| secure for the dominion the benefit o
the protection of the Monroe doctrine

of the Salvation army, wife of Com
mander Booth-Tucker and second
daughter Of William Booth, founder OF
the army, was killed in the wreck OF
the eastbound California train No. 2
near Dean lake, Missouri, IS miles
east of Kansas City, at 10 o'clock
last night. Colonel Thomas G. Hol-
land. in charge of the Salvation army
at Amity, Colo, was fatally injured.
Twenty others were injured. The dead
and injured we're taken to Fort Madi-
son, Iowa.
Mrs. Booth-Tucker was rendered un-
conscious and died within half an hour
after being injured. Her skull was
fractured and she was injured inter
nally.
The first details of the wreck were
obtained this morning by the Asso-
ciated Press over the long distance
telephone from Marceline, through
Doctor D. S. Putnam, who had been
at the scene.
The wrecked train left Kansas City
last evening. 1t ran into an open
switch just outside of Dean lake.
Only the three last cars, two Pull
mans and a diner, were crushed. The
Pullmans were completely demolished,
while the diner was badly damaged.

OUR FIRST HUNT CLUB.
1t Was Organized In Pennsylvania
Away Back In 17GG.


The year l7GG IS far back, but 1t IS
interesting to think that the mutter-
ings Of the coming war storm were moi
yet so engrosslng even then but that
the sportsmen Of Pennsylvania could
turn their attention to more system
attic organization of their fox hunting
forces and then established the first
hunt club in the country, the Glouces-
ter Hounds. Not that this was the be-
ginning Of the sport in Pennsylvania,
that emsnently horse loving country,
for fox hunting had held high place
In the pastines Of the people many
year before. 1t was rather the evil
dence that the sport had become so i'm
portant that it needed syste1natiZins.
so that districts might be thoroughly
hunted IN turn and contentious. rivalry
and clashlng dates be avoided.
All the early fox hunting clubs had
their origin in the pre-existing owner
ship Of greater or less number OF
hounds by private owners. Every con-
siderable landowner in the south kept
them, and good dogs they were. not
always orthodox. according to the
standard of the Bclvoir and the Quorn
of today. but nevertheless bounds de-
rived from the best English and Eu-
ropean stock and continued by judi
cious selection Of those who showed
the instincts by conformation suitable
to the country In which they were
called upon to work. Washington may
be quoted rs one Of the southerners
who kept hounds and hunted them too.
Lafayette. moreover, sent him from
France a splendid pack Of French fo1-
hounds, With qualities which still fur
ther helped to complete the most per
feet animal for American fox bunting
the American hound.
From the formation Of the Glouces-
ter Fox Hound club in 17G6 until to-
day clubs have played the most i'm
portant part in preserving the sport
and regulating its practice. Not all
clubs Of equal Importance, 1t is true,
but ell Of the same splrit.-1llustrated

NEW YORK TIME.
1t Is the Standard Used In All Our
Weather Bureau Stations.

1t Is the Standard Used In All Our
Weather Bureau Stations.
When we read report from any Of
the 1GO regular weather bureau sta
tons throughout our land bringing the
information that rainStorm, q tor
nado or some other meteorological phe-
nomenon began at certain hour we
need not suppose that the hour men
toned refers to the time at the place
where the observation was made. The
hour given Is the exact New York time,
for every clock at the regular weather
bureau stations all over the land is set
to the seventy fifth meridian, or east
ern standard time, which Is exactly
five hours behind Greenwich time.
Only this standard of time is used
In the text Of the Monthly Weather
Review, and all weather bureau OBJ
servers are required to record obser7a-
tons by it. The reason for this is that
the best scientific deductions from the
weather reports must be based upon
the conditions Of the atmosphere exist
ing simultaneously in different parts
Of the country.
It would be very ludicrous If all the
hundreds Of reports sent daily had to
be changed ut the central Office in
Washington from local to eastern time,
and so all the regular observers are re-
uuired to use the New York, or eastern
time, in making their reports.
There are many volunteer observers
and newspaper correspondents who in
reporting weather phenomena use 9TH
er standards Of time. If the weather
bureau has occasion to use their re-
ports the time is often corrected to
agree with the eastern standard or the
local standard is mentioned.-Detroit

pickwic1rs In Livery.

The dignity of some fat coachnen
in New York is very impressive. Their
development is outlined distinctly by
their coats. They have swelled steadily
and persistently year after year, and
every now and then the coats have
been let out and the buttons moved to
accommodate increasing inches of
girth. A coacbman's figure has a great
deal to do with his success. The at
tempts Of fat men to look lean some
times verge on the humorous. They
hold their heads high to escape the
imputation Of obesity and puff out their
chests heroically. But with all their
hauteur, pomposity and pretentious
bearing they look only like very fat
men in tight clothes, reminiscent OF
Pickwick in livery.-New York Press.

WEDDING PRESENTS.
Some Hints About. How and "ha

and Vixen to Send.
Il is a golden rule to send your wed
ding gift in good time. the first to ar
rive being much more appreciated than
that which Is one Of the many pouring
in from MI quarters during the last
week.
BY adhering to this rule you are also
saved the annoyance Of hearing that
the saltcellars are charming, the third
set already received.
A month before the Wedding day is
not too early to send the present, which
should he accompanied 5y visiting
card, to be placed on the gift when dis
played am6ng the others.
The package should be addressed to
the bride If you ere intimate with both
the happy couple, and to the brides
house, addressed to the bridegroom, II
it is he with whom you are best ac-
Quainted.
Most people wish to give something
novel, useful and pretty. The future
circumstances Of the happy couple
should influence the choice:
If they are going abroad. do not give
anything unsuitable to the require
ments Of the climate or so cumber-
some that packing and conveying it to
its destination will amount to half the
value Of the present.
If the recipients will-not be partlcu-
largy we'll off, it is only kind to select
some useful present. In these days,
when artistic taste is shown in oil the
necessaries Of life. this should not be
difficult.
If the happy couple are likely to re,
ceire many presents, it is safe to give
something which will not be amiss If
received IN duplicate, such as silver
sweetmeat baskets for the dinner table
or a set of afternoon teaspoons or q
bronze or china ornament.
