Pinned to one OF the dead men was

The bodies were discovered dangling
from the limb of the old tree Just at
sunrise by a farmer riding along the
road a glance was sufficient, and he
rode into town to notify the authorities.
The bodies were cut down, and il was
easily seen that the work had been done

he had consulted the report Of Col

exaggerated form OF bringing a ''pIebe"

iaJing. tended 10 make the right sort
Of men Of cadets.

willful insubordination.

Of the board appointed by Colonel Scott
TO handle the charges against the eight
cadets and the papers were returned
from Oyster Bay on Monday, bearing
the approval OF the President who gave

FISHES IN SLEEP.
In Most Species They Experience a
Change Of Color.

In Most Species They Experience a
Change Of Color.
The way fishes sleep is a study
which few people have taken up, but
which is nevertheless very interesting.
They are very light sleepers and fire.
quently assume singular positions, but
the most remarkable thing is the
change of color which the majority
of them undergo while asleep. Usual
ly their spots and stripes become dark
err and more distinct when they have
successfully sought temporary OBJ
livion.
Sometimes the pattern of their col
oring is entirely changed. The ordi-
nary porgy, for instance, presents in
the daytime beautifully iridescent hues
playing over its silvery sides, but at
night, on falling asleep, it takes on a
dull bronze tint, and six conspicuous
black bands make their appearance
on its sides.
If it is suddenly awakened by the
turning up of the gas in the aquarium
1t Immediately resumes the silvery
color that it shows by daylight.
Naturalists ascribe these changes to
the principle of protective coloration''
and point out that the appearance of
black bands and the deepening of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid the
eaweeds.-Buffalo Times.
