The slow experiments to test the pos-
slbllity that by degrees an animal may
change its habitat—a land animal tak-
Ing to water, and so on—were thus
amusingly satirized in Germany:
Some time ago Herr Professor Scbllt-
zer, the eminent biologist who is mak
ing experiments relative to the changes
of habitat made by animals, captured
a live herring. He took the fish home
and kept it in a large vat of salt wa
ter. Every morning the professor dip
ped out of this vat half a teaspoonful
of salt water and replaced It with an
equal amount of fresh water.
The herring survived and passed bis
days apparently in the best of spirits.
In the course of time the water I d the
tank was rendered completely fresh.
Not a grain of salt was left lu It. And
still the herring remained cheerful and
in good health. Next the berr pro
fessor began to deprive the fish, little
by little, of the fresh water element
In which he lived, lu this also he was
successful, and after a time the herring
gamboled around In a perfectly dry
tank.
The herr professor next put the fish
in a birdcage, and the Intelligent crea
ture continued to thrive. But one day
the herr professor noticed that some
thing seemed to be the matter with
his pet.
He had forgotten to give It anything
to drink.
Thereupon be put a dish of water In
the cage.
The next morning, when the herr
professor came to look at his fish, a
melancholy sight met his gaze. The
herring had fallen head first Into the
dish of water and had been drowned.—
