Striking Results Shown In q Test With
Gray Perch.
Even the fishes OF the sea have pic
lures on memory's wall Experiments
have been made with several fishes
ais 70 their faculties for remembering,
but the most striking results have been
obtained with the gray perch, which
lives chiefly on small silYery hued
sardines. Some Of these were taken
and colored red aud were then put
into the tank where the perch was
with several silver colored sardlnes.
or course the normal sardlnes were at
once seized and eaten. but II was not
until hungry that the perch made a
tentative meal Of one Of the red col.
ored victims.
On recognizing the sardine favor,
however, be promptly demolished the
remainder Later the perch devoured
the sardlnes irrespective OF color, thus
showing not only traces Of a memory,
but also the power to diftcrentIate
color.
subsequently sardines colored red
and blue were placed 10 the tank to-
gether with the silver ones. The same
scene was repeated the blue sardines
not being attacked until the others
were eaten and hunger compelled in
yesiigaton Of the newcomers. After
this introduction the perch ate the sar-
dimes Of all three types without any
difficulty.
Some spines OF the sea nettle were
then fastened to the blue sardines.
These were at once avoided by the
perch. which promptly got out Of the
way Of the newcomers This showed
traces Of memory, as the results Of
contact with the sea nettle were shown
and recognized. Chicago Tribune.

Life IN Colonial virginia.

In no part of the world were social
distinctions more rigidly defined than in
colonial Virginia. The founders Of that
colony stepped from the brilliant court
81 Elizabeth into The forests Of Virginia.
The lord proprietor transported to his
estate a little army Of gentlemen and
indented servants, aud afterward came
the negro slave. Each formed d class
apart from the Others and almost at
snce there was created a quasi system
Of aristocracy.
The proprietor obligated himself to
protect hts tenants from the Indians;
they in turn agreed to follow him to
battle precisely the system inaugural
ed by William the Couqueror for the
military defense Of his realm. His en-
vironment naturally bred certain habits
Of command, fostered a capacity for di-
reeting the efforts Of others. and inn
posed a sense Of responsibility upon the
planter for the lives that were in his
keeping.
Above all else the planter jealous
y guarded his rights as an English free
man. When liberty languished in Eng
land, the VirginRn sturdily resisted
every aggression of royal tyrants. One
husband, one wife, one home, one king,
one God this Yves the planters creed.
But he reserved the right to renounce
monarch who violated the ancient
compact between king and people. No
other people numerically as unimport-
ant as that group Of Virginia settlers,
has given to humanity so many states
men. soldiers, orators patriots, and phil
osophers. Every body's Magazine for
