3. Gilbert has placed on record the fact that a certain whale "used unduly to swagger and bully." Probably wita the motive of determining- the-jacciiracy of this staxeu.es an attempt has-been made here to ascertain whether fish can talk or not. rrof.

and tht future exper stents und investigations vrlU reveal its inLncacies; fax time he even may be able to translate the conversation to which, ho will liiten ia his submarine visits. The method la whLh the investigations were made interesting. An Iron cage lighted by electricity was preps reo. and in this the professor was lowered to the bottom of the Mediterranean, inclosed ia a diving suit, in the cage was a phonograph with, a receiver of such extraordinary power that It would register the slightest sound. Within this receiver was placed a bunch of electric lights; the idea being that the fish would be surprised by this strange visitor in their haunts into uttering whatever exclamations they were acustomed to use unUer similar circamsga uces.

Several of the experiments were truit-lss, the records made by the phonograph being nseieso. because of the various distant sounds, which were Intensified by the wonderful sound-carrying properties of the water, rendering the voices of the fish inaudible ia the chorus of other sounds. After many attempts, however, tne professor secured several especially clear records of the voices of the sea mo asters of the Mediterranean waters, and these he has labeled carefully. In the collection is one record which gives distinctly a note of astonishment from a shark, saya the scientist, snd others give note of the same character from many sea. monsters.

The Mediterranean is considered the best body of water la the world ia which to conduct such investigations as this, because almost ail sorts of fish are to be found in Its waters. There are 643 species of European sea fisheo. and of these 444 inhabit the Mediterranean; some ox them being peculiar to it alone. It has a greater number of species than the British and Scandinavian oeas. but there are rstt nearly as many useful kinds in im Testers.

"The vast number of fish In this sea Is accounted for by the fact that the waters of the Mediterranean are warmer than those of the Atlantic, owrng to the heat from the African deserts and to the soe. termr mountains to the north, which afford protection from theoid winds. The Bin-face temperature in sammer Is about degrees above that of ocean water. The expeditions for the scientific exploration of the deep seas discovered that this surface temperature Is limited to a depth of 100 fathoms; at every depth beneath, this, even down to 1900 fathoms, the temperature of the Mediterranean, on like that of the Atlantic, is uniform, sad remains always at about ZA or 55 degrees. The waters of the Mediterranean, also, unlike most inland seas, contain, about one-sixth per cert more salt than the Atlantic ocean.

Some scientists account for the even temperature of these waters by the pressure ot submarine volcanic fires. This view is plansihte when the existing acr tire volcanoes of Etna, Vesuvius aad Stromboll oa Its shores, and the comparatively numerous Instances of volcanic action by which. Lslatads were suddenly upheaved on which volcanic nrea have appeared for a short time, are taken into consideration.

Kussian minister of for-cijci affairs, the strong bulwark of the Fra nco-ii uLan alliance, has caused deep concern among the members ot the French official and political world.

Therefore, according to ii. Lteicasoe. Frenchmen could regard the political future with uerfeet serenity. A warm appreciation of Count Mura-vleff was expressed to the correjondent of the Associated Press to-day by Cba. Hutchinson and Martin Kyerson, who, with Charles Crane aad President W.

Harper, ail ot Chicago, recently had an interview with the czar and 'Count Mura-vien. "America has lost a sincere ndmirer la Count Muravieff." said Mr. Hutchinson. "We found him man of great scho'srly sttaaxments and unusually conversant affairs in the United States and with American institution. It was gratifying to us to learn of nis acquaintance with the educstional institutions of our country.

Our interview with the czar we consider more of a compliment to Mr. Tower's relations toward the Russian court than to vurselvea. It left us with a thorough impression of the crar as a man of a progressive smad. and although hampered in' faifiUment of his idea by traditions aad his deep-rooted interests ia the aristocracy, yet in the coarse ot time he will undoubtedly reach the goal to which he is working, and place his country ia the very vanguard of commercial and social progress. We found in the czar none of tae cold reserve usually associated with monarchs.

He has a frank, candid maaaer, and is kindiv of speech." Speaking their reception among the Russians generally, they emphasised the hospitality of the nation and the evident desire to aid foreianers in securing Information about their country.

It Is possible that some of these or-gsreizittions were given an opportunity of disenssinar and passing on the subject, but it Is more thaa probable that In most cases they were not and that a few officers underrook to speak for their organizations. Unfortunately, this has become very common practice in Xew Orleans, resulting in misleading the unthinking and frequently In placing members in false attitudes. Each organization has the specific objects of Its existence stated in Irs charter or constitution, and its racers are chosen to see that these objects are attained. Their functions do not go one whit leyond. and when they assume to speak officially on other subjects they transcend their powers.

Take, for Instance, the case of the "Louisiana Homestead League, 6700 members." mentioned above. What is it. aad by what authority caa any man or Mr dozen men say that all the homestead members think this way or that a boat the proper organization of a board of health, its powers, duties, The League Is not a chartered body; It Is an organization composed of a few delegates from eacn of the chartered homestead companies, with very limited powers and for a few well-denned purposes.

NEW ORLEANS. June 23. 1900. Editor Plcayane: Will you kindly allow me space in your valuable paper to make a iwifgritrVou to the management the West End Railroad Company and I think yon will find my grievance to be a common one among many patrons of tjus popular resort. It ia a long ride to West Knd.

No matter how pleasant aad delightful the trip may be. the Journey there aad back from Canal street kills one soUd hour. That, aa you will see. is a great deal of time to pat in going to and from a place of amusement. Xaen.

If you will add the time going and coming from Canal street, the importance of saving every minute ot time becomes apparent. Uy point, then, is to enter a gentle protest against the dilly-daily habit which some of the West End crews hare gotten land la running their trains. 1 am not the oniy one who has become thoroughly disgusted at the way some of these men kill time in getting their trains oat to the lake, and I am uuste sure the management is not aware of the lack of interest taken by some of Its empaoyes. The trains are scheduled to stop at certain streets, which is all right. But, after a short -distance out.

oniy a few get on, and at many of the. stops none at all. Last night the whole ear of passengers In which 1 was riding was indignant at the poky way In whica the crew, held the train at the streets where there was not a soul to get oa or off. 1 timed them by my watch, and was simply disgnsnsg the way that train load of pasaengers. air anxious to get to tne iake.

Tne-slow, pokv, aggravating meteods ot getting the West Knd trains ever the course hare been noticed nlrat after night. Aa I said in the open-lag. It is a long trip ta West End for an evening's Tnnav mrnT and 1 think the railroad aaoald accelerate its schedule as mack as voaatbie and not wear oat the patience -of Ha pstrono by aa inexcusable lacar of liriiiknriaa oa the part of ita em-ptoyes.

Satelde aaa Uifhway Rsbsery Asaemar tae Day's Events, Joseph Messina, a young Italian, living wKh his parents on Second street. In Gretna, committed tmlcide yesterday afternoon about 5:30 o'clock by leaping into the river from the cabin deck the ferry-ooait Uettie. plying between Jackson avenue. New Orleans, aad tiret-K a. The young was 19 years of age.

and had come to this country from Italy about a year and a half ago. He was bright and Intelligent boy. and was of a decidedly higher mental standard thaa the class of Italians snd Sicilians who emigrate to this country. Although he worked with his father. Antonio Messina, at the cobbler's bench, he found time to improve his mind by the reading of books and newspapers, and in the short space of time in which he lived la Gretna he acquired a very fair knowledge of the Eaglish tongue.

He was attentive to hi work, was pohte and well bred, and was generally much esteemed by the residents ot his neighborhood. Yesterday young Messina was at his work as usual. He appeared to be in good humor, and gave uo indication of any intenuon to commit the rash deed that ended his young life. Some people who claim to know say that he had had a disagreement about family matters with his father, who had threatened to whip him. but the members of the family deny this, though they give no reason why young Messina auouiu etek to end his life.

Whatever may hare been the cause, the boy left his father's shop about 0 ociocfc yesterday afternoon, etad in the snirx. trouars and cap he had worn during. toe uar, and proceeded to the river, where he boarded the ferry-boat. He remained on me boat after It landed oa tae jrny ide. and when it Teft the wharf on the return trip to Gretna he went upstairs.

Just as the craft reached the niiodie of the stream the passengers sitting about the main deck were surprised by a loud splasn on the side, oeer tae rear of the boat. They were horrified a moment later to see tne head and anouiders of a man rise above the surface of the sa-ift-caoving waters. Those who knew young 'iliViaJtia at once recognized tne struggdng form, and word was once sent to Engineers Lawrence and ua. who were la the engine-room. The boat was stopped and oacked, and Engineer Lawrence and Mr.

John Koswitr (jaickiy lowered the life-mxit and sprang to the oars. Before they could get clear of the ferry, however, the boat backed la to the frail craft aad neany swamped it. the occupants barely managing to grasp the ferry's guard rati to save themselves from going overboard. It not likely, even had thia unfortunate delay arisen, that young Messina couid have been rescued in time to be saved, fox the current bore him swiftly down stream, and he perished without making a struggle to keep anoat.
