A VOraciOus Pike.

A female pike weighing twenty-nine
pounds has been found in the lake at
Ewhurst park, Basingstoke, the seat of
Lord Alexander Russell. 1t had appar-
emily met its death in the vain attempt
to swallow one of it's own species
weighing nine pounds. The two fish, in
the position in which they were found,
are being stuffed at Winchester. Pike
have died in this manner before, and it
is doubtful whether or not these should
be regarded as instances of voracity or
pure accidents. Pike, like many other
fish, frequently do battle, and it has
been suggested that when two savage
fish rush headlong al; one another the
smaller one might easily enter the jaws
of the larger. Once in there would be
no getting out again, for the pixies
mouth is lined with hundreds of sharp
teeth, which, like those of the shark,
