Gold abounds, but no ordinary m in can stand the hardships of the un- cn-ilized region. In three years 2,000 graves were made in the Klondike basin, a large majority dyiny from starvation. According to the stories told by these 'niners the gold brought in last week to Seattle does not represent the findings of individual shippers, but a large proportion confiscated from the effects of those 2,000 miners, who fell a prey to the hardships. At the death of a man possessed of dust. his body was buried without a coffin, and 'he dust divided among those who cared for him. Those who intend going to these new gold fields are warned to wait until early spring, when they will reach the Yukon country as summer commences. Summer there lasts but one hundred days, snow being on the ground for 265 days at least. None but the rugged and healthy can stand the journey.

Young Lady Trained 3 Caterpillar. Educated Oysters In Franceâ€"Evid<-nce 0f Cerebral Action In Carp Which Ap- pears to Settle the Question. Henry do Parvillo has written for a French neWHpaper the following amiclv on the memory of. fish, insects and other creatures : THE CLAIM MADE FOR FISH, INSECTS AND OTHER CREATURES. mu"--- . W. “Herr Edinger, the German anatomist, recently discovered that fishes have mem- ories. Now it is believed that insects and mollusks are equully gifted. One of my lady renders, a teacher of 'dmwing in the Paris schools, put the following question to me: ‘How can any one imagine any animal to exist without amenmry?’ And. dwelling upon her query, she uflirms than caterpillars have. memories. She at one time possessed a big brown caterpillar with nmguifieent fur. She kept him in a wort;- hux and carefully fed him with choice leave. Now, this caterpillar, following: the fashion of his kind, used to roll himâ€" self up into a. hull whenever he was fright- ened. When the lady wanted to make his Ind and iix up his apartments, She tool: him delicately on a leaf and brought him out of the box. At first the creature would rull himself up, but in a short time he he- :mue tame and remained in an out- stretched condition, knowing Well that no harm was intended. “ ‘I was then a. schoolgirl in the 9mm- C(uur of Bcauvais,’ said my correspondent, “and with my cum‘rpillur I gave exhibi- ninns to the sisters and the girls.’ When- m'cr she touched him. he remained per- fmrly at ease and never coiled himself, but when anyone of the other girls touched him be instantly rolled himself up. He knew his mistress well. Therefore the ex'miurn evidently possessed aanemcry. “One morning the lady opened the box and to her astonishment the caterpillar nus gone. In his place there was z; 1i 'ri - heap of agglutinated hairs. Her pet had lu-come a chrysalis. The sisters and pu- pils awaited the arrival of the buttrrily with impatience. The question wag, Would the butmrfly have any recollections of its existence as a caterpillar, and Would it remember its mistress? The un- swer is easily guessed. Butterfly and can- erpillur are two, and the butterfly had no ...“. _.‘._V V. "But here is another exmnplo in regard to fishcs. It is givcn by M. Pierre )lognin of the Eleveur. ‘It is not necessary to trawl very fur,’ he says, ‘to gut t‘m‘ eviâ€" dz thc of memory among fishes. One nerd only to go to Fontainebleau and look at the historic carp in the ponds of the castle. I often wont them some ycars ago when 1 was camped in the forest with my regi- ment during the firing exercises. Them is one spot behind the castle where people UIIU hlnuu uK'IIAuu wuv eru-v "u‘- ‘ l' A amuse themselves by throwmg bread and fruit to the carp. The little pieces of bread are eagerly devoured and fought: for by Hm fish. But. if un apple is thrown in, the lish, recngnizing it, pass it; by disdaini‘ully. They knew by experience that the thing is beyond the power of their jaws. “’ 'â€" ' x _ "' ‘There is one trick which is often played upon them, and that is to throw to them an entire loaf and as hard a loaf as can be procured. The carp poke their noses at it and retire. keeping it in View. They surround in, remaining at, a little distance from in. One big old fellow approaches in from time to time to ascertain the progress of the. soaking and softening, and in about 20 minutes, when the explorer dis- covers that. the required degree of softness has been reached, he notifies his compan- ions of the fact by a wag of his tail or by whatever means of communication the amp possess, and instantly they charge upon the leaf, tear it: to pieces and help themselves. In a few seconds nothing is left of it. “ ‘Xew, this shows that experience has taught the carp than the bread, no nmtter how hard in may be at first, is bound in Dime to become soft enough to out, and they wait patiently for the expiration of the necessary time. In this there is not only evidence of memory, but, also the woof of a complex intellectual opomtion.’ 7 I»- _:....l.‘ Ln 'rvu v- -. v--._‘.,___ *M. Pierre Megnin may be right, be- cause it; is very diflicult to explain in any other way than by cerebral action that surivs of facts, in some degree reasoned out, exhibiting the carp waiting for the soften ing of the hard bread every time it. is thrown to them."
