A FISH SToRY.-An extraordinary
story of vitality in a fish comes from
the Trocadero aquarium in Paris. A
young pike came to that city from
Holland packed in ice with a large
number of other fishes. Although
it had been out Of water two
days at least, and probaly three, it
showed signs of life, and efforts were
made to revive it. These proved sue
cessful, and the fish, a fine specimen
over two feet in length, is now llv-
ing contentedly in one OF the tanks
at the aquarium.
