Cosr OF THE BRITISH ARMY.-From statistics col
lected by the New York Daily News it appears that
the pay and allowances Of the English army exclusive
of divisions specially provided or estimated at $2O
100000. To this add $3000,000 for extras which are
not partcularzed $6OOOOO0 for provisions and other

Notifications 81 100000 for what called civil
buildings and about the sum for educational
USES and then nearly 100000 for all other ct cete
ras" But beyond this you have to count in for non
efectiue services $5,60OO0O to out pensioners; 49,
900 to reduced officers, and sundry other sums
amounting to a couple million of dollars for rewards
widows pensions allowances sc. All together the

A Novelty in Fish Culture.


The art Of supplying the world with food is yet in
its infancy and we presume that the raising of fish by
artificial means will be found to be principal branch
of the art Every year discoveries in psicul-
ture Of them Being truly of very extraordinary
nature A DR.. Colquet of the Paris Society of Ac-
climation has recently shown the very singular and
important fact that salmon may be raised in fresh water
ponds, having connection with tile The follow
ing translation from NJ Cloquets report, from the New
\ ork Eren1ng Post will be read with interest:
| "The experiment was made, at st. Cucufa, near ST.
Cloud, where NJ Coste has successfully carried on
pSccuural operations on very extensive scale. The
pond chosen tor the experiment In question is of small
extent and is supplied by small stream of fresh water,
sufficient to form cascade Three years ago the pond
was entirely emptied and cleaned out In April and
May, 1855, several thousand salmon only two months
old, placed in the pond with trout, and, notwith-
standing the yOraciOus nature of the latter fish, the
salmon have pr0spered well that few weeks ago. in
the presence of the Emperor who takes great interest
the artificial production of fish, less than 200 ko-
grammes weight Of salmon caught by one haul of a
net This result is very surprising, but NJ. COste states
that he far astonshed to find that the female
salmon full of eggs. He adds that he saw several
eggs highly developed that they the point of
being emitted hese results, which bear the stamp of
high authenticity prove that salmon may be produced
and reared IN fresh water ponds under similar circum-
stances to those by which trout so successfully
multiplied in various waters around Paris
We are not informed whether there are persons who
will supply fish eggs to those DESTROYS of stocking
ponds but would suggest to them, if such there be-
that they advertise, make themselves known and make
the business truly profitable There are millions of
ponds and lakes in this country which would probably
be well adapted to salmon raising as the one expert
mented on by NJ. Cose. Nature adapts herself to cir
cumstances and it is not unlikely that salmon would
modify their nature somewhat, if confined in lakes
We are, in fact, far from knowing as yet what fish
can cannot be raised in ponds and rivers There
hundreds of prolific fish, known in Europe and ASIA
yet entirely unknown in this country, which might be
made the subjects for experiment 1t is true that much
has been done by scientific and enterprising in this
very interesting business but not hundredth part of
what should be done When thing has been prov
ed to be true thing las pscicuture has) it is quite
time that began to realize some of the good results
in our markets and on tables. Perhaps the estab
lishment of society for the purpose of stimulating
reasonable and profitable enterprises would not be bad
