 The reported submission fo the Rus. sian authorities of the chief of the Shakhsevep tribesnep four or i've days ago is taken to prove that no extension has been requested. a
 Russia has not yet decided whether or not to order General snarski. the connaAdeF .in. the Asld. to resume his operations June 10. No illusions are entertained here TeEardtng the ability of Persia to enforce the terms of the Russian uitlmatua upon the border tgjbesnen.

Fortunately the proposed change is only to rob us of eighty minutes in April and restore them later in the year. or there might be a repetition of the scene in I752. when the ignorant populace were alarmed at the dropping out of the to September 14.

Fishes That Grunt.

An interesting, but not surprising, detail of the Italian zoolisist's claim to have discovered that fishes converse by means of buzzes. is his point that the red gurne is the most talkative. The gurnet or gurnard derives its name from a kind of grunt which it utters when taken out of the water (French "grogner." to grnnt) Nearly 1000 years ago Aristotle recorded that, though fishes, having no lungs. have therefore no voice, several of them can emit grunting sounds. But this kind of protest. which might possibly be considered purely automatic, is a good deal short of the conversational pow CTS which the Italian attributes to the proveroiaily drum tribe.
