CASE TO |D TO
T
Flah Know Color*.
"Fish know'colors." said a keeper at
the aquarium the other day. "They
can distinguish betweeu red and blue
or white and green as well as you and
I. Wait, and I’ll prove it."
He led the way to a tank in which
were some red and some yellow and
some green fish, and in it were arti
ficial grottoes painted respectively red
and yellow aud green. The keeper
roiled the water with his hand, «ud the
fish fled, the red ones to the red grotto,
the yellow ones to the yellow grotto
and the green ones to the green grotto.
"They know which jcolor shields them
from observation host,” said he. ‘‘Now
I’ll change the grottoes, so as to prove
my statement a. second time.”
He moved the grottoes to different
places in the tanks and again roiled the
water. The same thing followed as
before. Each dish darted like a shot
to the grotto of its own color, where it
knew it would be best concealed.—New
York Press.
Dlrda That Feign Death.
One of the most remarkable devices
resorted to by wild things for their
own protection is that of shamming
death. A beetle or spider will double
in its legs and lie as if dead. The
reason for this is obvious. It may then
bo passed over, mistaken for a bit of
leaf or stick. But It Is .more difficult
to account for this practice in birds.
A moor heji, or land rail, will feign
death, lyingthe hand perfectly limp
and to all appearances unconscious. It
bas been suggested that the idea is
that, beings already dead, the captor
will not trouble to kill them. More
probably It is merely a ruse in the hope
that by lying still they may be forgot
ten and crawl off presently unobserved.
Another reason is suggested by the
fact that cats and tfle cat tribe do not
often touch their prey unless It moves.
—London Standard.
The man who is the least bit pessi
mistic is reminded by the decided
drop of the temperature to
day that there is still the bare possi
bility of freezing temperature again.
Such a thing, however, is a long way
from strong probability.
Friendly Contest to Decide
Whether Dougherty Coun
ty Treasurership is a Dis
tinct Office. J
Whether the clerk of the superior
court of Dougherty county shall con
tinue to serve as ex-officio treasurer,
or the county treasureship shall be a
separate and distinct office, is a ques
tion which the Supreme Court will be
called upon to decide some time during
the coming fall.
Readers of The Herald are familiar
with the recent contest for the treas
urership of the county, and the agi
tation which imniediately preceded
the announcement of opposing candi
dates for that office.
For thirty years the clerk of the
superior court has been ex-officio
treasurer, under provision of a special
act of the Georgia legislature.
Recently, however, in a decision of
the Supreme Court in a case carried
f 0
up from Cobb county, it was held that
the clerkship and the treasurership
in that county were held by one per-
sdn in violation of the constitution,
and a candidate who had been elected
treasurer, as a distinct officer, was de
clared entitled to the office.
Holding that the Cobb county case
clearly pointed the way to a solution
of the situation in Dougherty county,
Mr. P. H. Jones announced his candi
dacy for county treasurer. He was op
posed by Mr. H. A. Tarver, present
deputy clerk of the superior court. As
is well known, in the recent primary
Mr. Tarver received the nomination.
Mr. R. P. Hall now holds the office
\
of clerk, and is ex-officio treasurer. He
and Mr. Tarver have agreed that the
logical course to be pursued is to se
cure the ruling of the Supreme Court
on the point whether the law now in
force is constitutional.
Proceeding^ will therefore be insti
tuted in the superior court, Mr. Hall-
refusing to surrender the office of
treasurer to Mr. Tarver, holding that
the special act of the legislature in the
case of Dougherty county is ftill in
full force and effect.
Whatever the decision of the lower
court, an appeal will be taken to the
Supreme Court, which will pass upon
the constitutionality of the Dougherty
county law.
The contest will be perfectly friend
ly, being conducted for the sole pur
pose of settling* a doubt which must
otherwise exist Prominent lawyers
are known, not to be in accord,on the
point of law involved, and the outcome
of the contest will be watched with no
small degree of Interest
TYBEE WILL CONTINUE
