Keeping Fish Alive.

Consul General Guenther of Frankfort,
Germany, writes 1t is reported the French
naturalists, Billiard and Bruyant, have
made a discovery with reference to keep
ing fish alive which may be of practical
Importance.
The reported discovery concerns a tiny
alga by itself not visible to the naked eye,
which possesses the remarkable property to
preserve the water in which 1t exists in
state of great purity for an almost I'M
limited period The little plant possesses
also the advantage of multiplying rapidly,
ana thrives in almost all kinds of fresh
water. To the naked eye the presence of
these algae is noticeable through the bril-
liantly green color of the water. provided
it contains large number of them. The
two scientists have succeeded in keeping
brook trout alive in a large-sized vessel for
six weeks. SO that their taste at the end of
this period did not appear to be impaired in
the least This is all the more remarkable
as it Is well known that otherwise brook
trout can only be kept alive in running wa
ter. Leeches have been kept alive by the
same process one and one-half years with
out change of the water. Experiments
have already been made to make practical
use of the discovery for the transporta-
ton of live fish.
Live brook trout, for instance, were ship
ped by rail, the journey consuming seven
hours. at a temperature of 20 degrees, IN
vessels ItieO With WdttI ~ WHICH thSsS
algae had been added. The trout were all
fresh upon arrival. while of others, ship
ped at the same time In pure water not
containing these algae. not single trout
arrived alive The explanation of this phe-
nomenon is probably that these algae, like
other green plants. decompose the carbonic
acid exhaled by the fish, and so reoxidize
the water. The two scientists are also OF
poison. which may have been secreted by
the fish, harmless.

WILD PANIC.
Several Persons Hurt and Some Are
Possibly Drowned.


Havana, Dec. IA wild panic on
board the French line steamer steamer
La Champagne Tuesday afternoon, re-
suited in the injury of six and the
possible drowning of from three to six
persons. The La Champagne arrived
from French and Spanish ports with
$50 cabin and 1,40o Storage passen-
gers. Eleven hundred of them were
bound for Havana and 800 for Mexico.
The steamship had small cargo and
but little coal and after anchoring and
discharglng the cabin passengers, she
began coaling. At the time she was
slightly listed and the crowd of Spanish
immigrants swarming to her side TO
watch the lighters caused her to list
the more and to take on a quantity of
water in her open coal ports. Some OF
the lighter men cried out that the ship
was sinking and the frightened immi-
grants struggled and fought for a
chance to escape. Some 400 men and
women jumped to the lighters and a
score OF men into the water. A few OF
these SWAN ashore and some of them
chung to small boats.
An inspection of the passenger list
revealed the fact that six persons are
missing.

rotary Hitchcock. West having mar
ried an Indian woman, claimed he
thereby became, "by adoption" MEM
Der of the Choctaw tribe. to which the
woman belonged. and was entitled to an
allotment of land in the Indian Terri
tory. The secretary denied Vests APP

that the alleged adoption never re-
ceived the approval OF the interior de-
partnent West then sought by man
damus proceedings TO compel the sec
rotary TO recognize his adoption.
The trial court held that the answer
of the secretary showed his ruling in
volved an exercise OF discretion and
could be controlled by mandamus and

court concurred.
