Memorv In the Fish.

Continuing his experiments as to
whether fish possess memory OF asso-
citation of ideas, NJ. Oxner obtains
some further results He already
found that by placing a red cylinder
containing food and also an empty
green cylinder in the aquarium with
single fish, the latter soon learned to
enter the red cylinder each time it
was immersed and avoided the other
one. In his later researches, says
the Scientific American, he finds that
the fish goes into the red vessel and
waits until some crumbs are dropped
into it, which he then eats. more
striking point is that at other times
the fish enters the baited red vessel.

that he is not man who is in the

Marvellous! How do you deduce
that fact?"
Here Is his pocket knife. 1t has.
as you see, a strong corkscrew in
it."
Yes, l should think that would in
dictate that he was IL the habit of
going on fishing trips"
Your supposition is childish, my
dear doctor. Can't you see that the
corkscrew is rusty and has evidently
never been used?"
