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

The experiments or 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
which important physical facts are
learned. 1t is interesting TO know that
IL we cut of the tails of forty sue
cessive generations of mice at their
birth not one mouse, even in the fourth
generation, will be born without tall
But when the man of science was en-
gagged in cutting Off the baby mice's
tails all the world laughed ut him.
The slow experiments TO test the pos
sibllity that by degrees an animal may
change Its habitat-a land animal tax
Ing to water, and so on-were thus
,amusingly satirlzed In Germany:
Some time ago Herr Professor Schllt-
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 1t In n large vat of salt wa
ter. Every morning the professor dip
ped out Of this vat half teaspoonful
of salt water and replaced 1t 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 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 q 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.
He had forgotten to give II anything
to drink.
Thereupon lac put n 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

 A reader of the Ketchlkan Miner wants to know If It expects to always tell the truth In recording all mat. ters of local interest. To this inquiry the Miner answers an emphatic no. The Miner will simply continue the manner and style of all successful newspapers and will deal In only what 1t considers clean and reliable news items of general interest. If the newspapers publish half the stuff they hear there would be ten dlyerce suits to one now. There would be social ostracIsm of many who now shine in the four hundred. There would be shotgun matinees, lynching bees, hatchet parties, Imprisonment, desolation and misery. An editor learns of nearly all the sin and hypO- crlsy of life and it is a wonder he be. Heves in man or woman, witch or devil, heaven or hell. Many people are continually finding fault with the newspapers when as a matter of fact they owe their very standing in the community to the editors waste basket.
