THE TORPEDO FISH.

l. Lecturlng at Leicester, England, re. gently, Dr. F. Gotch, a professor of Oxford university, dwelt upon the sub ject of electrical fish and pointed ou
 that no such fish existed in English rivers. They were comparatively rare objects, he said, and were possessed of singular interest. There were at least four groups of electrical fish in which an extraordinary organ had been developed, says the Fishing Ga zette. Some of these fish could give shocks strong enough to knock man down, and if the current they were capable of generating could be main tained, it would be sufficient to light a whole town. The electrical eel and the torpedo fish were alluded to as species possessing this remarkable phenomenon. The lecturer described the electrical organ found in the tail of the comm on. skate. Psychologists, he said, had been dissecting this fish for years, but had generally passed over the tail as an object, unworthy of study. It is here, however, that the interesting structure is situated, i'm mediately below the skin. It consists of whole series of columns, which have taken the place of muscles. These columns contain translucent material and in the fresh state are most beauti- full objects. The columns are crossed by lines which divide them into com partments like a railway train, the compartments including most won derful arrangement of nerves. The electric discharge occurs as the result of a nervous impulse communicated by the fish to the nerve ends, causing an electrical charge. An electrical organ may include as many as 2,0oO,0Oo of these compartments.
 The lecturer, continuing, said that formidable species of electric fish which inhabits the rivers of North Af- rica, including the Nile, belongs to the genus gymnotus and is capa ble of giv- ing very powerful shock. An easily recognizable picture of this fish. has been discovered in an ancient Egyptian tomb. These electric organs were the most remarkable examples of nerve mechanism known to exist They had been developed as means of defense the first considera tion for the main tenance of any species-and also as a means of attack. -

WHY HE RIDES

Editor Evening Democrat:
 Sir: I assure you appreciate the kindly feelings expressed toward me iI your paper of this evening. 1 deeply regret the spirit which has been aroused among the strikers. have the best of feeling toward them all Some of them 1 count as personal friends I had no desire to show ani-. mostly toward them by riding on the cars. I ask them to,b bear in mind that it is no fault of mine that I am carried by non-union men. The strikers did not for one moment take me, with huns dreds of others,into consideration when they went out, as I think, too hastily Now they ask me, no matter at how much inconvenience to myself, to walk. There is supposed to be reason in all things, but when passion holds sway reason takes her flight. But reason will return; let us listen to her voice. I am not as young and vigorous as | once was, and as do not think my ac@ ton will have feathers weight either way;I intend to exercise my right as an Independent citizen to ride or walk as I see fit.

If your ad contains only 5 words you pay only cents, if it con- tains 10 words, 10 cents and SO forth and SO on. After the first insertion the price is just one half that of the first day. Thus if you have ten word ad' it costs 10 cents for the first day. and 5 cents day thereafter, four days for 25 cents. If the ad contains only words you get six days for 2S cents. The Democrat Want Column has been tested on more than one occasion, and the shower of answers received made the advertiser think of securing a private secretary. For longer time than one week, a special price will he given. Here is a sample ad which shows just what it will cost to try this column.
