How We Appear to the Fishes.

How the outside world appears to a fish, and how the appearance or the op- tects in it is modified by the refractlonS of the rays on entering the water, we are quite unable to judge by putting our selves in the fishs place, for our eyes cannot accommodate themselves to vis- ion under water. It Is equally useless to attempt to solve the problem by means of diying-armor, for the rays on enter ing the air within the helmet through the plate glass window are ben tback in to their original directions, and the IT. fusion of the circular window Is no long CT seen. It seemed probable. however, that the appearance of the outside world to a fish could be photographed, since there is no especial difficulty in arrane- ing a photographic plate and lens Tn such a way that sharp images can De lobtajned when both are immersed in water.
 If there were any philosophers among the fishes, 1t would be interesting to know the views which they hold regard ing the nature of the world which IS TO- cated outside of their own medium ana which they perceive only as an ever changing fringe surrounding circle or light which is always directly overhead We cannot help wondering if we also may not be hampered by some such limitations, which will forever prevent us from forming anything but very distorted idea of the true nature and dimensions of the universe. What must these fish philosophers think of human beings when a group Of them standing around a small pond appear arranged around the circular window, like the spokes of a wheel with their heads all pointing towards the centre?

 The two trains, No. 10, northbound from Danville, and No. 15, southbound for Char arlottesville, were late owing to con- gestion of traffic at the new terminal, and the collision was caused, it is said. by switchman giving the wrong sig nal, thereby allowing the southbound train to go out on the northbound track. All trains from the south using the tun- mel into the new union station are op- erated by the Washington Terminal com pany, and Southern railway officials dis claim responsibility for the accident.

Nicknames of Royalties.

From Harper'S weekly
 While the free-and-easy American might refer to the chief executive as freddy,
 it seems to surprise him to learn that ms cousins across the water indulge in sifn,- lar familiar terms when speaking or their monarchs. In Great Britain and Ger many especially are nicknames popular, and almost every member of the royal families, as well as prominent men gen erally, have them
 His Majesty Edward VII is frequentIy referred to as "Edrex' obviously derived from the royal signature, Ed ward: Rex. Prior to his assumption to the crown he was familiarly known as "Rertie" and by the other members or the royal family as "The Guv'nor.
 That the Emperor of all the Russas IS beloved by many of his subjects, popular ideas to the contrary notwithstanding, IS evidenced by the familiar designation or
 .Nicky" which has clung to him slnce his boyhood. "The Father" as the late King of Denmark was generally called, as well as the Father Francis, by which designation King Francis Joseph IS
 known. show affection and reverence
 King Leopold of Belgium must content
 himself with the unfattering title of "1he King With a Nose
 "The Little Signor" as the King or Italy is termed by his subjects recalls the endearing term of the battered soldiers or France-"The Little Corporal. "TIer Royal Shyness' is the nickname bestowed by the Queen of Norway upon her sister, the Duchess of Fife. The queen herself has always been known to her relations and intimate friends as Harry"
 Many of the nobles of England bear queer nicknames, among the most odd and unaccountable of which is Blue Monkey" applied to the Marouess de Several. The King himself bestowed upon Lord Buchan the very appropriate title or "Pocket Adonis." and upon Lord RID blesdale that of "The Ancestor" because | of inc latter's odd style of dress
