DO HSHES HAVE A MEMORY
She Plaelae Psychological Keietrohoi of
German Profetuor.
Professor Ludwig Ediiiger of
rrankfort-on-tbe-Main is collecting
information on this pointand writes
to us as follows: "Havefish a mem
ory I A request for information.
There" is a general opinion that fish
have some sort of memory that
they can recognize people, know
how to find or avoid places where
they have had formerly some ex
periences that fish which have once
escaped the rod know the bait, etc..
It iB highly desirable that all expe
rience of this kind should be collect
ed in the interest of comparative
psychology. The reason is that till
now we believed the function of
memory to depend on the aotion of
the brain cortex. All experience in
man and in the higher aninr 'tis has
led to' that conclusion. Dr Vtg the
\sf
Iast yea'rs it Has been provecrtnat
fish have no brain cortex at all.
They are the only existing verte
brates without a brain cortex. Now,
if we could prove beyond the possi
bility of doubt that fish really hav«
a memory, that they gain experience
and can make use of it, then we
shall have to give up the till now
general opinion that memory has
its seat in the brain cortex. There
fore it is extremely important ta
have an entirely new set of expe
riences."
Professor Edinger then asks all
anglers and naturalists to communi
cate to him any experiences they may
hav6 had, requesting them particu
larly to take nothing for granted,
as the smallest observation may
prove of the greatest importance.
Here, then, is a splendid chance for
anglers to tell their pet tales and to
throw light on this interesting ques
tion.. Many incidents which com
monly occur to anglers would de
cidedly go against the theory that
fish have memories. Thus a. fish
which has had a fly broken in his
mouth will often immediately take
another, and on being captured the
broken one may be found still stick
ing in his mouth, and then it is well
known tq fishermen that a pike
which escapes while it is bein
played will often again ferociously
seize the bait if it be at once tempt
ingly offered him.
Such well known facts as these do
not at first sight point to any highly
developed powers of reasoning in
the fish, but before drawing any
conclusions-from them another fac
tor—that of sensibility—must also
be taken into consideration. It ia.
highly probable that a fish hooked
with a small fiy hook in a gristly
part of the jaw feels little or no
pain, and therefore, if the hook im
mediately breaks,-the fish possibly
looks upon it as a very slight incon
venience which in nowise need hin
der him from continuing his meal.
A fish's brain is a very small mass
compared with the weight of the
body, and is also small in com pari
'-"i cord. We have no

RIFLES AND CARTRIDGES.
Vunber of Pieces In Rltlea or Various
Types—DllVerenoes. Iu Cartridges.
There are a good many parts to a
rifle, all of which are necessary to
the make, up of the weapon, and
these parts are interchangeable in
manufactured firearms. A single
•hot-rifle put out by one manufac-'
tarec has 40 parts, to whioh must be
added the two sights. If one wishes
a
Saf trig^or aS?SB-4ifffireat-gteG83
must be added aftertwo^jiieces have
been taken out. 'A repeating rifle
must naturally -have more pieces
than a single shot weapon, but the
number is not so much greater as
one would think—88, without the
sights, being the number—and a
change of 13 pieces is necessary to
provide a set trigger. The prices of
these pieces, when bought separate
ly, range from 2 cents. to $10. Cu
riously enough, the rifle barrel costs
less than the receiver in a repeating
rifle. In the single shot rifle the
barrel is the most expensive part.
The number of parts varies in the
various models of rifles, even of the
same makes, and the latest models
do not necessarily contain the small
est number of ports, though the
tendency has been to'simplify the
weapons as muoh as possible'. A re
peating shotgun has about 00 parts.
There is a great variety of rifle
cartridges on the market now, anil
more are being brought out to meet
the demands of rifle cranks who see
a
difference in accuracy of a rifle
using 20 grains of powder and one
using 21 grains of powder.
The 22 caliber rifle is the one most
commonly used. Twelve kinds of
cartridges are listed for it, and to
these must be added blank car
tridges. The short cartridge car
ries 8 grains of powder and 30 grains
of lead. The short, with a hollow
pointed bullet, has onlyv27 grains of
lead. An ordinary long cartridge
has a load of 6 grains of powder to
80 grains of lead. A_"long rifle"
has 6 grains of powder and 40 grains
of lead. Another cartridge carries
7 grains of powder. to 45 grains of
lead. An "ertra long'' has 7 grains
of powder behind 40 grains of lead.
There are two central fire cartridges,
one of which carries 13 grains of
powder and 45 grains of lead, the
other 8 grains of powder with a
similar bullet. These cartridges are
also loaded with smokeless powder,
charges varying from 11-2 grains
of powder and 30 grains of lead to
8 grains of powder with 45 grains of
lead.
There are 30 kinds of 45 caliber
rifle cartridges and charges, ranging
from 5 grains of powder behind a
140 grain round bullet to 125 grains
of powder behind 800 grains of lead.
The largest bullets are not always
fired by the most powder. The gov
ernment's old 45 caliber rifle had a
charge of 70 grains of powder be
hind 500 grains of lead, a charge
warranted to kiok a shoulder blaek
and blue every time. The Danish
military rifle carried 50 grains of
powder and 380 grains of lead.
There are 16 rifle calibers, as fol
lows: 22, 23, 25, 30, 82, 88, 4b, 42,
43, 44, 45, 48, 50, 56, 58. Besides
these there are huge shoulder weap
