The Age Of Fishes.

1t is not generally known that there is
hardly any limit to the age of a fish.
Professor Baird, of the United States fish
commission, is the authority of your cor.
RESPONDENT for the staten snt that there
is authentic evidence to show that carp
have attained an age of 200 years. Pro-
tradition that within fifty years a pike
was living in Russia whose age dated
back to the fifteenth century. ''There
is nothing" he says, ''to prevent a fish
from living almost indefinitely, as it has
no period of maturity, but grows with
each year of life." There are gold fish
in this city that have belonged to one
family for over fifty years. They do not
appear to be much larger than when they
were originally placed in the aquarium,
and are every bit as lively as they were
when young. There are so many fish
stories in circulation that the ordinary
reader has almost made up his mind that
fish and truth do not 60 we'll together.
Probably some persons will doubt what
is said by Professor Baird about the age
a fish can attain. If they do, they are
simply doubling the best known au-
thority on fish. The Russian minister
says that in the royal aquariums in St.
Petersburg there are fish to-day that
have been known by the records to have
been in them l40 years Some of them
arc, he SAYS, over five times as large as
they were when first captured, while
others have not grown an inch in length.
An attaohe of the Chinese legation cor
roborates this statement. He says there
are sacred fish kept in some of the
palaces in China that are even older than
any Of those in Russia. .--NeN York
