Eiah Exhihit Emotions,

We are accustomed to think that only we humans become pallid with fear or agitated with joy, but some ex- periments with perch in the artificial pond show that when their repose is suddenly disturbed by tapping on the glass the flsh vistbly tremble, and the bars which are characteristic of this species actually disappear for the time being, only to reappear when the dis turbance is removed and the equanim- ity of the fish is restored.
 Sometimes a pike that is rapidly ad- vancing on his prey becomes suspicious about the latter's character. The pur- suer will suddenly stop in an attitude of doubt, his back will arch, and he will remain suspended as though studying the cause of his suspicious. Only when he is thoroughly reassured does he become rigid, to advance to the final attack; if his suspicion is not al- 1ayed he drops to the bottom of the pond or swims off in appointment.- Popular Science Monthly.

Music In shakespeare's Time.


 Shakespeare's time was an age of music. Catches were sung by gen ties as well as by weavers and tinkers. Lute, cithern or virginals were in ev- cry barberfs shop for the diversion of customers. : Thomas Morley may be using the blessed argument of a music teacher when he tells us that q gentleman was counted but a boor if he could not play the h1te or sing part in madr1gs4, but there is DO get ting over the craggy fact that over eighty collections of madrigals, ayres and songs were printed and published between 1887 and 1880, in addition to which vast collections of early music still remain in manuscript. With an aristocracy fond of music and accus- toned to play and listen to music and song, music in the theater. was almost as inevitable in England as in Italy, says the London Musical Record. 1t was considered manly accomplish ment to play the hunting horn. Every gentleman who kept hounds could wind it. A punctino4s etiquette fixed the correct set of notes for each operation of the chase. Usually a play had at least one song.

 The league was founded by men who believed, Col. Thompson contin- ued that an efficient and adequate fleet was the best defense against tn- vasion.''
 Pointing out that while several questions remained to be solved, such as how the expense of preparedness is to be met, the speaker declared that it makes no difference to the league how these questions are answered so
 
 efficient and least expensive manner and that the men, ships and guns are secured as quickly as possible.
 England is spending niIlionsof dol lars q day." declared Coll Thompson in conclusion, because she failed to spend thousands at the proper time, In the face of such possibilities. why waste time over trides, taxes or bonds, either or both, take your choice, but decide; he gives twice who gives quickly p
 . David Jayne Hill denounced the ad- foreign policy.
 Henry H. Ward, vice president of the league, spoke on Our Purposes His address was followed by busi- ness session for the eleceion of officers and directors.

sI ove You"

Very interesting are the phrases used by the various people of the world to express q love you.s Wherever there are human beings declarations of love are made, and there are a thousand langua ges in which the tender passion may be expressed. The Chinese say ssUo ugai nf,'' the Armenian expresses his love with ''Se siren as hez," the Arab is content with the short ''Ne habbek,'' while the Turk murmurs tsSidi seveioruna'' In India Main syne ka pisar karim' is the declara- tion. But the Greenlander holds the palm for the word love. When he does not stamnner it has fifteen syllab1es and has been recorded theoretically thus: "Unifgra raeerndlainalerfirona junguarrig- uiaki'

They may have killed the dragon at the first bridge and at the second, perhaps even at the third. But the dragons are all ways more formidable the farther we go.s Many turn back disheartened, and very few will meet the monsters to the end Almost none is willing to have a try with the demon at the last bridge, but if he does he has won for ever' ''-Princess Lazarovich in Gen tury

Fl sPaso, April 1O-There is con siderable mystery today over the re- ported crossing of the border by Gen eral Ynez Salazar. former Huerta general who has been living here and who is said to have gone into Mexico with ayowedIy hostile intentions to- wards the United States.
 The story of the crossing was told to the police by a man who had been closely ssociated with. Salazar. An investigation was made and later the police announced they believed the story to be true Mrs. Salazar was qquestioned and said her husband was away from home but she did not know where he was She denied, however, that he had entered Mexico,
 In the meantime, a proclamation was discovered. purpprting to be sign e6 by SaIazar, in which he called on all patriotic Mexicans to join him in the protection of Mexican soil It says:

 After declaring that his first pur- pose is the union of all Mexicans for the national defense, he concludes with a statement that he is willing to resign the direction of the campaign to any patriotic body of men who are worthy of it.

SIXTEEN INJURED AS TRAIN ENTERS
 OPENED SWITCH
New Haven Road Accommodate tiOn Train DeraiIed Six Miles
 From Waterbury.

Waterbury. Conn.,, April 10-A accommodation train, running thirty five miles an hour. bound from Win s4ed for this city, Bridgeport and New Haven, struck an open switch early yesterday morning at Jericho Siding. six miles north of here, and was de- railed.
 Sixteen persons were injured, none their seats and thrown about the aisIes Of the four passenger coaches, which were we'll filled. No one was fatally hurt: The injured are:
 C.. H. Holmes, engineer, face cut and leg strained; G. F. stroker. bag gage master, leg wounded; G. E. Carr. fireman, of Winsted, head cut; Mrs. Regina Wyngist of Winsted, knee severely cut; Dorninick Kuel- hawk of Winsted, head cut; Edward Bassone of Torrington, leg broken; E.. Ingraham of Torrington, thigh bruis- ed; J.~-Russen of Brooklyn, shin scraped; Alice McGi1vaneya of New York, back wrenched; Joseph Burton of Brooklyn, back bruised;s Charles Smith of New York, knee abraded: i: William Segal of New York, nose cut; Sam Lavette of Brooklyn, right shoul- der cut; Lawrence Fein of New York, left foot bruised; Gertrude Rose. of  Robert Giltman Of Torrington, hand bruised and sprained.
 The train left Winsted at 7:2O a. m. to make connection at New Haven with a train for New York. Jericho Siding, where the accident happened, is on a curve, so that Engineer Holmes was unable to see the misplaced switch until his locontive was very close upon it. When within a few yards of it he noted that the switch was s'spIit"--that is, it was not closed rail against rail He immediately put on his air brakes and shut off power, but the distance was too short For him to do any good.
 The locomotive bumped along over the rails about four hundred feet, then turned off to the left, crossed another track and went down an en- bankmerft- There it stuck fast in a sandbank Holmes, who had remain ed at his post, was thrown from his cab window. A baggage coach behind the engine went part way down the embankment-
 The smoking car and two day coaches left the rails and swayed periIousIy from side to side until they overturn, which accounts for the fact that there were no fatalities. Two other day. coaches and a baggage coach at the rear of the train re- mained upon the rails.
 When physicians from Waterbury motored out to Jericho Siding they found no serious work for them to do. Only Bassone, whose leg was brok- enS was taken to the hospital. The others were able to proceed on their journey after treatment
 A special train was made up to take the passengers to Bridgeport. Traffic on the division was blocked until early ih the evening
 An inquiry was begun here today by the public utiIitiesAcomniss Com missioner c. c. ElwelI, of the public utilities commission, visited the scene of the accident yesterday but declined to make any statement, saying that it would not be fair either to the en- gineer of the train or the railroad company to indicate responsibility for the accident before an investigation had been made
