WHY NOT MULE MEATf
Wild burros have become a pest in
some ip&rta of Arizona. The little,
long-eared animals are not exactly
wild, for the reason that they do not
have enough energy and spirit to be
that way; they are a good deal like
the bears of Yellowstone park. The

zona, but of New Mexico and north-
ern Mexico are overflowing with
droves of burros. They infest the
mining camps and ranches and are a
nuisance. Hundreds of them are
killed for their hides and grease.
It has been Suggested by Dr. C. C.
Young, a noted Russian traveler and
Karakul sheep breeder, who has
lived in the Southwest for several
years, that the wild burros be util-
ized as a source of meat supply for
the people of this part of the coun-
try.—New York World.
FISH ABLE TO REMEMBER
Abundant Proof That Mombort of tho
Finny Trlbo Have tho Power
•f Memory.
Even the fishes of the sea have
pictures on memoiy’s wall. Experi-
ments have been made with several
fishes as to their faculties for remem-
bering, but the most striking results
have been obtained with the gray
perch, which live chiefly on a small
silver-hued sardine. Some of these
were taken and colored red and were
then put into the tank where the
perch was, with several silver-col-
ored sardines. Of course, the normal
sardines were at once seized and eat-
en, but it was not until hungry that
the perch made a tentative meal of
one of the red-colored victims.
On recognizing the sardine flavor,
however, he promptly demolished
the remainder, says an exchange.
Later the perch devoured the sar-
dines irrespective of color, thus
showing not only traces of a mem-
ory, but also the power to differenti-
ate color.
Subsequently sardines colored red
and blue were placed in the tank, to-
gether with the silver ones. The same
scene was repeated, the blue sardines
not being attacked until the others
were eaten and hubger compelled
investigation of the newcomers.
After this introduction the perch ate
the sardines of all three types with-
out any difficulty.
Some spines of the sea nettle were
then fastened to the blue sardines.
These were at once avoided by the
perch, who promptly got out of the
way of the newcomers. This showed
traces of memory, as the results of
contact with the sea nettle were
shown and recognized.
