cry. The cracker scarcely touches the
water before a fve-pound speckled
trout jumps clear of the water, catch
ing the morsel as he goes, and twenty
others follow him, but just too late to
lie in with the play. Suddenly shadow
appears near the surface of the pool, and
a sturgeon five feet long comes into
view, only to sink out of sight again
when he has satisfied himself of the
cause of all the disturbance. The stur-
geon is the scavenger of the rivers and
lakes. He eats everything that other
fish won't eat, and is an acquisition to
any breeding ground from a sanitary
point of view. There are three Stur-
geon weighing from thirty to seventy
pounds in the waters of the state
aquarium, and Supt. Watkins speaks
highly of the useful offices they fill.
Eight hundred thousand brook trout,
the native varieties, have been scat
tered about the waters Of the state in
the last two months, and several thou
sand Loeb Leven natives have been
placed in the streams to try life under
new conditions. Most of the trout have
been put into the streams of the river

stocked naturally than the streams, and
an effort is being made to fill the latter
with speckled trout and rainbow
sinners from California waters, which
will doubtless prove successful. The
brook which trayerses Todd county
was stocked up with brook trout
couple of years ago, and some very line
fish have been caught in it recently.
Demands on the superintendent for
trout were this year received from
Brainerd, St. Cloud. Anoka and other
points in the state, and all these have
been filled. In the breeding of pike
great difficulties have been encountered.
About 100000 of these fish have been
put into the lakes since the beginning
of the season. though this is less than a

DURING THE SPAWNING PROCESS.

fifth of the number Matched, the other
four-ffths having been eaten by their
cannibalistic brethren. The trouble is
that pike all spawn about the same time,
and the eggs hatch in ten days with
equal simultaneity. AS soon as the
youngsters get afioat in the tanks they
begin looking for something to eat.
They are the descendants of game and
voracious ancestors, and eat they
must. No food has as yet been dis
covered which the pike in his extreme
youth will accept, and the result Is
that they eat each other. A tank
in which lot of pike have been
Matched presents a strange sight within
twenty-four hours after the little canni-
balls are out of the shell. A good healthy
pike OF that age will eat from ten to
twenty of his relatives in day. and he
makes clean work of it, leaving nothing
but the eyes, which lie in the bottom of
the incubator, and can be picked out by
handfulS. A new idea has beck evolved
by Messrs. Sweeny and Watkins which
will doubtless do away with good deal
of the waste thus created. In future
years there will be no attempt to hatch
pike artificially. The spawn will be
conveyed to those streams for which
conSignments of fish have been ordered,
and deposited in them. This will give
the youngsters more sea room, and a
better chance for longevity than they
have when cooped up in a ten
inch tank. Three and half
million trout have been put
out this year altogether 1900 carp, 100,-
900 pike and thousands of rarer fish. Bass
cannot be bread artifcially for some
undiscovered reason, and the commits
sion depends on the lakes hereabout
for its supply of young fish to fill the
demand from other points. In one of
the artificial ponds are several thousand
goldfish. These, however, are the
private property of Supt. Watkins. A
surprising thing in these particular gold
fish is their unusual size. Most OF the
goldfish seen in globes are but few
inches long at the most, whereas the
inhabitants of this pond at the aqua
rum are some of them fully pound in
weight. This is explained by the man
ager of the place with a statement that
goldfish unconfined will become quite
large, but that they cease growing i'm

probably on account of the cramped
quarters and poor water. The water OF the

almost lives in the vicinity of the tanks.
Mr.. Watkins has personally superin-
tended the incubation and distribution
of all the fish put out during the pres
ent season, and his estimate for next
year is that 100000 fish, principally
trout, will be Matched out and used to
stock the streams of Minnesota. The
fish nursery is by no means
lacking in attractions to make it worthy
visit. To begin with, 1t is situated at
a spot from which the most magnificent
