THE CLIMBING PERCH.
An East Indian Fish That Travel

An East Indian Fish That Travels

As q rule, fish come out Of the water

Involuntary process, but the climbing

not satisfied and start 'Terland IN
search Of one more to X: ste.
This usually happens as Il result Of the
evapora ton Of pool in the extreme
" dry season. When the fish decide
that the water in the particular pool
formed during the rainy season Is In
danger of drying out completely they
make all preparations for moving and
late ut night or early in the morning
deliberately climb the banks and start
off in search Of some more commodious
pool or stream not in danger Of going
dry. When the journey is made ut the
hour it usually is the fish are favored
by the heavy dew which lies on the
grass but ifHn emergency arises they
will boldly strike out at noontime along
the dusty road.
They travel by means Of the strong
bony fins which are full Of sharp
spines, like those Of the common perch.
They have a receptacle in which they
carry water with them to moisten their
gills. 1t Is said that they will live sew
eral days out of water, and with the
assistance of the dew laden grass the
fish that starts in search Of satisfac-
tory pool or stream IS practically sure
of living until it finds it. - Brockton

Their captain took tho rudder and deliberately col lided, while going at high speed, with Q larger Chinese launch, the Chanfook. The robbers were flung to the deck by the force of the collision. but in- stantly sprang up and leaped on board the Chanfook.
 Again the crew and passengers were carefully searched, robbed and bound, This done they were thrown headlong on to the captives lying at the bottom of the Fienam. The pirate leader then returned on board the lat ter and quickly wrecked the machine cry. The Fienam, helpless and with her helpless cargo, was cut adrift. Steaning up in the dark on the Chan look, with no lights showing, the ri- rates attacked a commissioners armed launch, on board of which a guard of eight soldiers was watching a valua- ble cargo, but this time they were beaten off,

New York, Dec. 14-(special Corres- pondence.) .)-Should a stranger from Ala bama debark from a Jersey City ferry boat and find himself engulfed in that whiripoI of humanity which constantly nils the narrow streets of the lower husiness section in New York he would fiud himself the 1oneliest man in the world.
 All around him a constant whirling sea of faces and not one would ne know. Every Alabamian who came to New York for the nrst time has ex- oerienced this isolated sensation. He feelg like the smallest atom in exls-
 hce. He finds himself mentally com
 ring himself to the grain of sand %n an immense stretch or sea shore.
 If this lonely man when he begins 10 feel that peculiar sense of depression should fire off a gun loaded with bird shot he would strike an Alabamian Tn nearly evry block in the down town 7isfriet. provided he had enough rounds of ammunition. It would be rather diff ficult around that district on Nassau street Inhabited by the biggest law yers in America to fire shot and not strike an Alabamian.
 Since the organization of the Ala bama Society a careful census has been taken of the Alabamians living in New York and as far as has been possible "a Ascertain there are S76 of them liv- fuar4on Manhattan Island. Did the lone M stranger know this he would feel more at home. Out of the 376 Alabam- fans it would be hard to find one who would not take a stranger in the fold and make him known to his native rountrymen. Incidentally that is one of the main objects of the Alabama So- ciety.
 Aside from the adjoining states of Connecticut, New Jersey and Penns7l- vania, Alabama stands first in the rank of the states which have contributed brilliant sons to the great mecca Of Auerica-New York.
 And New York is not an Eastern city. If you want Southern, Eastern. Western or Northern friends in New York you can find them. No sectional lines are drawn here and the humble boy from Alabama stands just as much chance as the college bred youth just out of Hayard provided he has the natural ability in his makeup.
 It is true that Southerners in New York miss their homes and their tradi- lions but they soon find themselves so engrossed in the race for fame and fortune that these things serve them only as a gentle reminder and offer to them the hope of being able to return to the native soil and spend their re- clining days. Few persons who come to New York have any idea of making it their permanent home. And strange to say few of these people ever get back to their homes.
 But the object of this is to tell you something of the Alabamians who are here and whether they remain or not is another story.
 In every walk of New York life Ala bama has a prominent man. The legal fraternity probably has corralled the largest number of Alabamians and the newspapers come next. In business there are scores of successful Alabam- Ians and the art and music colony Is gradually increasing.
 To be an Alabamian or rather a Boutherner is in reality a business as- set in New York. The people here may question invaders from other parts of the country but a Southerner, as rule, ls taken and accepted for what he
