A pike, separated from some minnows by a glass partition placed in the tank, dashed his nose at interrals for three months against the glass, trying to get at thom. Finally he discontinued his efforts, and the glass was removed. The pike, however, by the association of ideas, still regarded the minnows as impregnable, though he fed voraciously on other kinds of fish. The pike, said Dr. Hollander, rosenibled some people who assimilate absalate ideas and stick to therus truths.
