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

Many insects, birds, 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 q clever way
Of making itself Invisible. The
body is slender, with a pointed
head and prominent eyes. Along
the back is a continuous frill,
which is the dorsal fin, while, OPP
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 colog
render the fish marvelously like
the kelp leaves among which il
seeks protection.
A number of these fish were
placed in the tanks of the Zoolog
ical Gardens, where they might bt

e~asiness, some of them even leap

was prepared where the natura
surroundings of the fish were inn

is not impossible to believe the
statement that flowers exhibit
sensibilities not unlike those OF
human beings and other OF the
higher animals, says the Chicago
Tribune. Recent experiments
prove that plants have in some
cases far finer sensibilities than

word of praise will, it is stated,

pansion, while blame will so crush
their feelings that they die, brok-

Col. Andraede, in the account
of his life in Mexico, tells an ex-
traordinary story of the will pow

results. He is an ardent lover Of
flowers, and, possessing strong
hypnotic force, the idea occurred

of his will on the vegetable king

MARVELLOUS MEMORY FEATs
Napoleon Able to Repeat Names Of

Bossuet's Gift.

Both Napoleon 1. and III. had

1t is said of the first that he could
repeat the names of his fullest

the army, the exact corps and reg
iment he belonged to, where he
had served and the individual
character he had borne for BRAY

Seneca complained of old age
when he could not, as formerly,
repeat 1000 words in the order
in which they were read. The Dru-

sciences in 10000 verses, which
students were called upon to COM

taking 20 years,

WORSE THAN BLACK PLAGUE.

Greatest Catastrophe world Ever
Knew Now In Progress.
The greatest catastrophe the world has
ever known is in progress at this present
moment and the world recks little OF
nothing of it.
This Is the plague epidemic in India,
which has now been raging for more than
eleven years. mad which, so far from
showing any tendency to die out, keeps
steadily increasing In intensity. Thus,
during the six weeks ending May II last,
49,. SOP persons persisted from 1t. or at
the rate Of over $4,000 deaths week.
Nothing approaching the appalling hor-
ror represented by these figures has ever
been recorded before. The nearest to it
vas In 1905. when, during the last week
IN March. the epidemic was responsible
for STOP deaths.
No pestilence Of ancient or modern
times. Or which we have any knowledge.
has slain so many millions Of people as
has this one and the end of which, mind.
II Mt yet.
The Great Plague Of London. for
example. about which everybody has
heard, killed at the outside some $4,000
people In seven moaths. or about as many
a. are dying weekly In India from dis
case which is identical with il in every
respect.
ahe BLACK Death" is said TO have
slain one-third Of the then population Of
England shy t.5O0. 900 persons but this
il doubtful. Even admitting the correct
ness OF the estimate. however, the NOR
tally Of the present epidemic in India
has already more than doubled this huge
total.
Whit viii be the end no man can
foresec or venture to forecast. 1t may
be that all that has gone before, and all
that Il happening now. inexpressibly aw-
full though II Is, il but the prelude Of

Cost of Living in 1906.

A summary Of the report just sent t.
the printer by the United States Bureau
Of Labor, of which Charles p. Neill IL
the head. covering the year 1906, shows
that the prices Of food were generally
higher during every month of that year
than in the corresponding month Of 1905.
The price in December was 8-10ths per
cent higher than the average for the year
1905, and the year as a whole showed
higher average than any since 1890, the
period covered by the bureaus investiga-
ton. The increase of last year applied
unequally to twenty-five of the thirty ar
ticles showing the greatest advance were
lard, evaporated apples, pork, bacon, ham,
fish, mutton and butter. The retail prices
of food were 29-10ths per cent higher
than In the previous year.
The report deals also with the question
Of wages for manual workers, and gives
figures showing that the advance in wages
per hour over the preceding year was
greater than the advance in the retail
prices of food. That Is to say, the pur-
chasing power Of an hours wages as
measured by food was greater last year
than the year before. The increase in
this purchasing power was 4-10ths per
cent. As compared with the ten years
average from 1890 to 1899, the wages per
hour were "a cloths per cent higher. and
the number of employees 40 Cloths per
cent greater. and the average hours Of
labor week Cloths per cent lowsr. In
the principal manufacturing industries Of
the country the average wages were
45-10ths per cent higher than in 1905.
The greatest increase was IN the manu-
facture Of cotton goods, where the wages
were II 2-10ths per cent higher, and in
only one industry, that Of paper and
wood pulp, was there 4 decrease namely
| 1-1Oth per cent.

Il. G. Hall, writing in the August Tech
meal World Magazine. asserts that Prof.
George Poe Of South Norfolk, Va, Is able
to restore life to apparently dead animals,
his treatment being based upon the we'll
known method of forcing oxygen into the
lungs. For this purpose he has devised
IN artificial respirator. modelled In all
respects after nature. II embraces two
small cylinders. each having an inlet and
m outlet, with which piungers work sim
ultaneously, and from which tribes arc
conducted to the nostrils or mouth of the
patient. One cylinder is supplied with
oxygen. and the outlet Of the other dis
charges directly into the atmosphere. The
plungers are worked by hand and timed
according to normal respiration. Thus In
one movement noxious gases from the
lungs are drawn into one cylinder, while
the next movement forces oxygen from
the other cylinder into the Mngs. This
device has been patented and win soon be
upon the market.

Farmers to Fight Grain Trust.

Open war has broken out between the
so-called grain trust and the farmers Of
the Middle West. The farmers say they
have paid $1,000, 900 year tribute to the
grain trust, and have been organizing, un-
til now cooperative elevators are in or
Grafton all over Iowa and are os:ng ex-
tended into Minnesota and Nebraska.
Their organization possesses $4,000
600 reserve fund, while back Of the trust
sands the wealth Of the Armours ana
other millionaire capitalists. The co OPP
erative elevators win get all Of the grain
OF their own members, but, In order 70
win, must also get some of the grain
from outsiders, thus Gripping the trust.
There are now 40 farmers cooperative
societies IN Iowa clone, with total mem-
bership Of $4,000. operating $50 elevators.
Also, the merchants Of the Northwest
are organizing cooperative association
to combat the mail order houses, the mer-
chants 50 organized agreeing to advertise
under one management, in order 70 lessen
the expense and secure On expert man

ic importance.
