The founders beg-n life as do or
binary fishes. When they first emerge
from the egg they swim vertically,
with the head turLed upward. Their
bodies are symmetrical and their eyes
are or opposite sides OF the head.
Gradually the position of the body
changes from vertical to- horizontal.
and the fish remain thus for some
time, swimming like ordinary fishes;
but while still very small there is lore
shadowing of the bottom life they are
destined for, and they enter upon a
series of remarkable changes. The
most striking of these changes is Ia
the position of the eye. The eye of one
side or the other slowly but steadily
moves over to the opposite side of the
head and takes a place beside the
other eye. In some founders the eye
moves around the front Of the head;
In others it moves directly through the
head. This shifting of the eyes posi-
ton is accompanied by a change in the
position of the body. which ceases to
be upright and becomes more and
more oblique. The side of the body

Til by the time the change of the eye
is complete the fish swims with its
blind side underneath, and this posi-
ton is ever after maintained. The
FOUNDER then ceases its free swimming

Some species of founders are right

right-siGed forms the teft eye moves 20
the right side, and tie left side be-
comes undermost. III the left-sided

1t rarely happens that right-s:ded spe-

or else in wilful obstinacy and d.scbe-

Christ yearned to give him. Bishop

of the saving faith. Away with the de.

so-called secret Christian cannot know
or experience the meaning Of Salvation.

must be supplemented by the confession

The motor stands there dead and inert.

In Christ. The wire Of faith has con-

Saviour, but the evidence Of that union
Is only seen. yea and felt. as the life of
the Christ flows through the disciple in

be connected up with the water plug at
the corner if the current OF electricity
were not permitted to flow through 1t.
And the soul which claims union with
Christ by faith might just as well have

A WAR INCIDE N I
DEATH OF GEN. JOHN B. GORDON
RECALLS AN INTERESTING
CONVERSATION.
Senator l. E. Mccomas Of Maryland,
Relates An Incident of the Civil
War in Which Gen. Gordon and
Himself Have An Experience.

The recent death of Gen. John B.
Gordon, the great confederate leader,
mas caused the utterance of many of
the deceased mans war incidents. Sen
ator l.. e. McComas, of Maryland, re-
.ates an incident of the civil war, when
he first saw the famous confederate
general. 1t was after the battle of
Gettysburg, and Lees army was NOV
ing southwark, to cross the Potomac
river. A part of the army arrived at
Hagerstown, where the McComas fam
lily had their residence on the outskirts
of the town. The confederate officer
came riding by and stopped, and Mrs.
McComas, the senator's mother, held
brief conversation with him and dis
cussed the possibilities of danger in
case renewed fighting between the
northern and southern forces. The Of
ficer was General Gordon, who had re-
Gently been made a major general, and
he informed Mrs. McComas that he
thought there was every prospect of
an engagement. She asked him if it
would not be better for her and the
and seek some place where they would
be out of danger.
Madam" said General Gordon, 81
would advise you to remain in your
dwelling. If you leave it deserted there
is danger that soldiers from either side
may occupy it, and do a great deal of
damage. If you remain in the dwelling
it is not likely that the troops of either
side will commit any depredations.
shall certainly give orders to my troops
that your dwelling Is to be respected"
Inquiries of Danger.
Mrs. McComas then asked the gener-
al about the danger.
"You will be in some DANGER" he re-
piled, "but you will be in danger any
where in the vicinity, and believe you
will be better off here than anywhere
else. Allow me to suggest that in case
of an engagem ent, and firing becoming
general, that you go into the cellar with
your children and you will be out Of
any grave danger. 1 would regret very
much to see your residence destroy
ed"
Met After War.
Senator McComas says that the gen
eral talked with him while he was at
the house. Years afterward he remind
ed General Gordon of the Hagerstown
incident and thanked him for his kind
ness at that time. At the close of the
Harrison administration McComas was
nominated for judge of the supreme
court Of the District Of Columbia, and
a suggestion was made by some demo-
cratic senators that if the nomination
was held up and unconflrmed Pres
ident Cleveland would appoint a
democrat in his place. General Cor
don was then senator from Georgia,
and he took firm stand in favor of
the confirmation Of McComas, and the
Marylander was commissioned.
