It Is doubtful If fish can distinguish
forms outside the water, but they un.
Questionably can see moving objects
at considerable distance. Their in
stinct teaches them to fee from
strange moving things and from shad'
ows thrown on the water by persons
moving along the waterside or by
birds flying over. The proof that they
cannot see the outlines of forms SUI.
hciently well TO distinguish between
animate and inanir ate objects, is that
they will show no more fear Of an
angler standing perfectly still in, the
water, than they will of a tree or other
harmless object. That their sight ia
keen in the water Is evidenced by the
fact that game fishes. that prey on
their fellows, do much of their feeding
at night, pursuing and capturing min
nows and other small Ash in deep,
dark holes.

FANS FLOCK TO EBsETs FIELD

New York, April 9.-Thousands of
Manhattan baseball fans crossed the
big bridge over into Brooklyn this af-
ternoon to witness the game between
the Brooklyn and Philadelphia teams
of the National league. 1t was the first
big league championship game of the
season, fact sufficient in itself to ac-
count for the big turnout of the en-
thusiastis. But more potent magnet
to attract the crowds was the desire
to see the first regular game to be
played at the Ebbets stadium, the mag
nificent home just completed for the
Brooklyn club. The stadium Is de-
clared to be the finest of all baseball
plants. 1t is constructed of steel, ce-
ment and brick, and cost nearly three
quarters Of million dollars. The
seating capacity is 10000.
