Til* Cider Side ot Fli*.
Experiments Lave been wade with
flounders In order to determine whether
the whiteness ot the under sides of
those Ssh Is due to the exclusion of
light, and the presence of color on their
upiter sltles to exposure to light. The
fish experimented upon were kept liv-
ing In a glass tank, having a mirror
placed beneath, no as to reflect light
upon the under aide* of the fish. One
of these prisoners survived for three
years under conditions so straugely dif-
ferent from 1U ordinary habits of life,
and all of them exhibited the develop-
ment of Bitot* of pigment on their lower
surfaces. The experimenters conclud-
ed that It If exposure to light thai
causes the coloration of the upper
parts of the bodies, not only of floun-
ders, but of other flsh, and, conversely,
that It is to the comparative absence
of light that the whiteness of under
sides of flab Is due. They extend th«
same principle to explain the colorless
condition of the skins of many animals
that pass all their lives In caves.

Bird Sonara.
Naturalists have long been puzzled
as to how birds learn to slug. Poes It
come natural to a bird of a certain
species to sing the song common to Its
kind or does It learn to Imitate what-
ever song It most hears during the
early days of Its life? Experiments
made liy a well known student of bird
life proved that most birds simply learn
by Imitation. He placed young linnets
to be reared by skylarks, woodlarfca,
titlarks and other breeds, and In every
case the linnet learned the song of his
foster parents. Again, a Dumber of lin-
nets were reared yliere they bad uo
chance of bearing the son? of any
aH. Iii duo course they began
to sing, but their sons was entirely
original. The cuckoo, however, seems
to be an exception, for although It Is
almost invariably reared by foster
parents of any species bnt Its own.
It always sings to perfection Its own
peculiar song, quite uninfluenced by
the vocal efforts of Its guardians.

Board of county commissioners re
Orlgla of (he Strike Pisd.
The earliest nieutl >n of a strike fund
occurred In the strike of the Parisian
stocking weavers in 1724, when a
crown a day was subscribed for every
striker and all blacklegs were merci-
lessly boycotted. But the biggest strike
under the "ancient regime" was that
of tbe silk factory hauds at Lyons
In 1744, when 12.00D men went on
strike and no alarmed the mayor that
he conceded everything they asked and
wrote to his brother that he bad "la
tete cassee par eette vile canaille."
The "vile canaille," however, had had
their moment, and It was no longer
theirs. Two months later tbe king
sent down 20,000 soldiers "jiour re-
mettre 1'ordre dans la bonnevllle de
Lyon," and we hear no more of strlkoa
till the supreme strike of 17S! .
