FISH AND BIRDS INITIATE.
Insects, Crabs and Other Animals Pos
sess Remarkable Faculty for
Changing Color.

MANY insects, DlfQS, ANIMALS
and even fish and crabs are won.
derfully clever imitators. They
will take upon themselves the
color, shape or position of their
surroundings so perfectly that
neither friend nor enemy can dis
cover their whereabouts.
There is a fish to be seen in the
kelp beds about the island of San
ia Catalina which has clever way
of making itself invisible. The
body is slender, with a pointed
head and prominent eyes. Along
the back is continuous frill,
which is the dorsal fin, while, op-
posite, the anal fin is equally or
namented. The fish vary in color.
Some are amber, others orange or
vivid green, while some have two
hues combined, dark and light
green or olive and yellow. These
peculiarities of form and colo.
render the fish marvelously like
the kelp leaves among which it
seeks protection.
A number of these fish we're
placed in the tanks of the Zoolog
ical Gardens, where they might be
observed. They showed great un
easlness, some of them even leap
ing from the tank. Another tank
was prepared where the natural
surroundings of the fish were imi
tated as nearly as possible. A
branch of macrocystis, with leaves
hanging in the water, was sus
pended over the tank. The most
uneasy of the fish were placed in
the new home, and their change
OF feeling was soon evident. One
swan at once to the kelpt leaves
and poised itself head downward.
Another, with head poised up
ward, became remarkable imita.
tlon of the hanging leaves in shape
and color. The fish made no fur
ther effort to escape.
Another inhabitant of the klein
beds is an olive green crab. which
cilngs to the under side of the keIn
tangles. This crab also showed
great uneasiness when it was
placed in tank. When the klein
was introduced it crawled upon il
and was at once ,almest inyisibls,
SO much did it resemble the ke,u
leaves. Another crab makes itself
look exactly like a rough stone.
When it is alarmed it draws I'D its
legs and appears a bit of mani
mate stone.
Several deep sea spiders which
had been found at deph of 500

Twenty-three were killed and a score
or more injured.

were reduced to scrap iron, the express
and baggage cars Of the passenger

freight cars were splintered. The pas

than n bad shaking up.
An extra freight, made up of heavy
coal and provision cars. was running

connections were broken to relieve the
boilers and thus prevent the further
lolror of one or more explosions.
The fearful impact drove the passen-
ger tender into the baggage u and
demolished it and the mail car. In an
instant the peaceful country scene was
changed into the likeness of a sham

were scattered dead and frightfully
mangled men. these latter more for

baggage car and on the engines. for
most of them were still pinioned in the
wreckage out of the immediate reach

well nigh a miracle the damage to the
other cars Of the passenger train was
confined almost entirely to broken win

their occupants to bruises from the
shaking up and minor cuts from flying

There was an instant rush to escape,
and for a moment nom seemed able to
think what to do in the presence of the
carnage into the midst of which they
stepped upon leaving the coaches.
Heartrending shrieks from the injured
quickly brought to the scene the in
habitants of all the farmhouses within
a considerable radius, and these imme-
diately set to work to do what they
could to ease the suffering. Farmers
