The Russian TRANSLATOR of Dickens.

The Russian Translator of Dickens.
Irinarch Ivansvich Vredensky was
the son of a poor but intelligent village
pope or priest who titled his glebe to
feed and cl0the his large family Of
daughters and this only son, to whom
he still found time to impart the rudi-
mentS of education. Irinarch was a
sickly and lonesome boy. cut off from
all playfellows by his ascetic though
well meaning father, and he grew up
to manhood III bitter poverty, having
sometimes literally nowhere to lay his
head. Yet, in spite of all obstacles, he
became a distinguished scholar, a YER
satlle linguist and a beloved peda-
gogue in the military schools at ST Pc
tersburg He was growing in fame and
favor with the authorities and had been
called upon to undertake educational
work of the highest Importance when
his blindness and premature death cut
short his brave career. His transa-
tons of Dickens, Thackeray, FeEimore
Cooper. etc, are classical and laid the
foundation of the wonderful popularity
which their works still enjoy in Rus
sia.-Notes and Queries.

FISHES ARE SENSITIVE.
And Vet, Apparently. They Are Net
Capable OF Suffering Pain.

And Vet, Apparently. They Are Net
Capable OF suffering Pain
All fishes have nerves. and in some
respects fishes are extremely sensitive.
A fish that has buried Itself In sand or
mud 50 completely that only the tip or
its tail I'm is above the bottom will feel
even the slightest touch and instantly
dart ont of its sandy bed A fish is
very sensitive to movements in the wa
ter surrounding it. A shadow falling
upon the water viii startle a fish into
flight But. sensitive as fishes are in
some respects, it is probable that they
do not suffer pain from Injuries re-
ceived
Fishes are extremely sensitive at the
nose 4 fish that had in pursuit OF
prey run its nose against a rock might
shake its bead violently. perhaps in
pain, bat fishes sustain serious injuries
from actual wounds without showing
any indication Of pain. In fact. the
indications tend to show that they do
not suffer.
A fish that has been hooked by an
angler but has escaped. perhaps carry
ing off a hook in its mouth. may a few
minutes afterward bite again at an
other hook Such instances are not in
frequent In such eases the hook would
probably be concealed by the bait and
the fish would not be likely to see it,
but the fact that it is ready to take the
bait shows that it is continuing to
feed, which it would scarcely be likely
to do if 1t were suffering great pain.
A shark from whose body all the Wis
cera had been removed has continued
to feed
Sensitive as fishes are about the nose,
many of them use the nose in pushing
stones and gravel about in building a
nest for the female to spawn in. The
salmon VIGOROUSLY often wears its
snout down to the bone In excavating
a cavity for a nest, and often it wears
off it's tail to a mere stub in brushing
out stones and gravel Yet such fishes
frequently recover from their injuries
and return to the ocean
Timid and sensitive as fishes are in
some respects. they fight one another
vigorously In such fights they may re-
ceive injuries that might be described
as terrible. To these injuries they may
pay so little attention that after the
fight is over they go on with their feed
ing or with whatever occupation they
had been engaged in
Injuries which would throw a human
being into state of helplessness do not
interrupt the current of fish life. The
fish may afterward die from its inju-
ries, but apparently it does not suffer
pain froJ hem.
I Fishes metimes survive injuries of
q remarkable character The stomach
of a captured Goldfish was found to be
pierced by spine of a founder which
/ 1t had swallowed The sharp, thornlike
spine projected about half an inch be-
+ yond the outer wall of the stomach into
the fish's body. Apparently the Goldfish
had suffered no Inconvenience from
this The wound caused by the spine
had healed around it, and the Goldfish
was fat and in good condition gener-
ally.

Derivation of .swhftv sunday,

A perennial problem is that about the
etymology of Whit Sunday, and the
supporters of Whitsunday could speak
more confidently with their adversaries
IL they remembered that the Welsh call
the anniversary "Sulgwyn." which
means White Sun" This title pre-
serves the Druidic tradition that the
sun about this time turns white. No
doubt the old British belief arose from
the peculiar white glare of the sunlight
reflected from the hawthorn blossoms,
which must have been far more trap
pant when south Britain was one vast
forest and a thorn fence formed TIE
fertilization Of every village. The pS-
gan festival of the White Sun possibly
developed into the ''Whitsun Ales.n-
Westminster Gazette.

Roosevelt Rnncoed.

Omaha, Neb. The discovery has
been made that the great North Platte
forest reserve of 300,U0O acres of sup
posed forests has scarcely one hun
dred trees on the entire reservation,
but instead is composed of fat prai-
rie land, without tree in sight for
miles. The reserve was declared a for
est by presidential proclamation IN
March of. this year, and it is be-
lieved that cattlemen were back of
the representations made to President
Roosevelt that the land ~was covered
with trees. The big cattle interests
have leased the land from the govern
ment under the Forest reserve act. An
effort will be made to have the land
opened for settlement.

GRAFT DISCOVERED
IN PHILIPPINES
SENSATIONAL SCANDAL rs UN-
EARTHED.
OFFICERS ORDERED BACK
United States Army Officers are Or
dered Back to Island for Investi-
CATION Mature Of Charges Kept
a Secret.


Washington, ID. C.-Inquiries di-
rected to Army officers Oh duty here
as to the allegations Of graft in con-
nection with he operation Of the Quar-
termaster's Department shops at Ma
nila in the last four years regarding
which CHARGES have been officially filed
elected little more than bits of gossip
outside the official admission that a
number Of officers and clerks have
been ordered to Manila for examina-
ton. Briefly stated, the facts are IS
follows:
About month ago General Leon
ard Wood, forwarding Lieutenant
Colonel William I. Wood Is report as
Inspector General for the Philippines
division, requested Secretary Taft to
order back TO Manila four army quar-
termasters who had been on duty at
the shops there, where quartermas-
-ters supplies are handled, harness
repaired and other such work done.
These shops give employment to sew
eral hundred American woIkmen and
many additional Filipino artisans Of
varying grades of skill There are
also some American clerks assist
ing the army officers detailed there
from time to time. In the past few
years, with the reduction in the army
forces in the islands, the amount of
work done there has fallen off mate
rally from the large requirements of
the first years of American occupa-
ton. M fe
The charges cover the years 1900
to 1905, approximately, none of the
officers sent for to explain the con
duct of the plant at Manila having
been on duty there for the last year
or so. They were directed by Seere-
tary Taft to take with them all their
official ''retained papers" relating 10
their accounts willie on duty at Ma
mia. The officers ordered to Manila,
according to the department, are
Captain G. A. Nugent, Captain F. w.
Cole, Captain A. w. Kimban and
Captain Ira L.. Fredenhall.
So far as can be learned even the
high officials of the department are
not aware of the exact nature of the
charges made by Lieutenant Colonel
Woou III MS IepuIU 10 e-y.--y- - ~
They say that Secretary Taft prompt
ly granted General Woods request
that all four officers be seat back TO
be interrogated, and that only the
official inquiry there will bring to
light the specific charges.
AS General Wood is supreme in
that division it is altogether likely
that he has not taken into his con
fidence any one except Secretary
Taft, who is now at Murray Bay,
Canada, on his vacation. General Aims
worth is acting secretary in the alb
sence also of Assistant Secretary Oil
yer.
