Sounds Fish Make.

The horse mackerel, or scad, is said
to grunt. Purring noises are heard
from the cuckoo gurnard when it is
being removed from the water. The
herring, again, is said to emit a faint
squeak when the net has been drawn
over it, and there are other fishes
which are credited with vocal powers.

A GERMAN SATIRE.
The Forgotten Life and the Sad Fate
= Of the HERRING.

The experiments of men Of science
sometimes furnish amusement to those
who are not particularly interested in
the slow, minute and apparently In
Significant Investigations by means Of
winch important physical facts are
learned. 1t Is interesting to know that
If we cut off the tails of forty sue
cesslVe generations Of mice at their
birth not one mouse, ven in the fourth
generation, will be born without tail.
But when the man Of sciecce was en-
gagged In cutting off the 1Saby mice's
tails all the world laughed at him.
The slow experiments to test the pos
sibility that by degrees an animal may
change its habitat-a land animal TAX
ing to- water, and so on-were thus
amusingy satirized in Germany:
Some time ago Herr Professor Schlit-
ger, the eminent biologist who is max
ing experiments relative to the changes
Of habitat made by animals, captured
a live herring. He took the fish home
and Kept it in large vat Of salt wa
ter. Every morning the professor dip
ped out of this vat half teaspoonful
Of salt water and replaced it with an
equal amount of fresh water. .-.
The herring survived and passed his
days apparently in the best of spirits.
In the course Of time the water in the
tank was rendered completely fresh.
Not a grain Of salt was left in it. And
still the herring remained cheerful and
in good health. Next the herr pro-
fessor began to deprive the fish, little
by little, of the fresh water element
in which he lived. In this also he was
successful, and after time the herring
gamboled around in a perfectly dry
tank
The herr professor next put the fish
In birdcage, and the intelligent crea-
ture continued to thrive But one day
the herr professor noticed that some
thing seemed to be the matter with
his pet. H.
He had forgotten to give it anything
to drink.
Thereupon he put dish of water in
the cage.
The next morning, when the herr
professor came to look at his fish, a
melancholy sight met his gaze. The
herring had fallen head first into the
dish of water and had been drowned

Sunday afternoon Mrs. T. NJ. Mac
Lachlan was thrown from a horse
while riding at the Hibbs ranch near
Brittin and received injuries which
may lay her up for some time, and it
is a miracle her neck was not broken.
She had been riding with a party
OF friends when something got wrong

and fixed it. In mounting again the
horse oo!ted, and she landed in the
rear of the saddle, from whence she
fell to the ground on her head, the
fall causing Inconsistencies for some
hours. A. t:rst it was feared her skull
was fractured. but such is found not
to be the case. She was brought home
Monday night on stretcher and
hopes soon to be about again. ~

HALLEY'S Comet
AFTER AN ABSENCE OF SEVEN
TY-FVE YEARS = THIS ONE.
TIME TERROR is AGAIN COMING
THIS WAY. 5f

Don't be alarmed if you see blaz-
ing ball in the sky heading your way
for it's only a famous comet making
it's periodical visit.
Astronomers are focking to the OBJ
servatories where the big telescopes
are located to take the comets pic
ture for the first time in it's career,
which dates from IL B. G. Since its
discovery then, this old comet has
scared human beings more than any
other heavenly pirate, reappearing
each rs years. 1t was daring in the
skies when William the Conqueror in
vaded England in 1866, and some his
torians say that it did as much to
tame the Anglo-Saxons as did the
arms of the Normans, for it had them
quivering with superstitious fear.
Again in 1856 the Catholic church
bells were set ringing at midday to
help folks keep their courage up, be-
cause Ha1ley's comet was passing
their way, and they have rung it at
noon ever since. Thanks to old Nep-
tune, which checked the comets un-
governed fight through space and set
it swinging in an orbit of a billion
miles around the sun, it now is no
menace at all to the earth, for it has
caught step with the sweep of the
planets and is quite settled in its nab.
it's. It is ball of metal $50 miles in
diameter, and now is beginning to
come out of it's sullen chill, for as the
comet approaches the sun the heat
drives out metallic vapors of iron and
magnesium, the heat increases and
the hydrocarbons break up into smoke
or SCOT and trail behind. The bonn
bardment of the suns rays upon these
minute SCOT particles lights them up
in silvery glow and also drives them
out in a sweeping tail.

SALE OF CHINESE LOOT IN AMERICA.

The Conger sale of Chinese antiques.
which has been occupying the last days of
the Weekend, has been severely criticized in
some quarters. The property was advertis-
ed as belonging to the widow of the former
American Minister at Picking. It has been
openly announced as a sale of 'Ioot from the
Imperial Palace and the mansions of the
mandarins." It is said to represent the
"tlmely purchases of q practical woman with
a taste for the beautiful, who found herself at
an unlocked for emergency in an exception
ally favourable position to obtain objects
which would interest" The sale has been
attended by fashionable purchasers, and the
amount realized represents a small fortune.
The taste of such a proceeding is execrable,
to say the least, and it is surprising that
the Government does not investigate the
legal side as to whether the exemption from
Customs duty of an Ambassadors luggage
includes merchandise purchased with he in
t%ention to sell. The Post thinks the dealing
was either directly with thieves themselves
or with the receivers Of stolengood8. The
'fence" profession, the go-between for rob
bers and customers, is thus exalted by inter
national endorsement to a height of respec-
liability and usefulness which it has never
before occupied.
