THE EDUCATION OF YOUNG sTIckLEBAoKs

sticklebacks in the aquaria- They build a nest

shreds of alga, binding the mass together by
means Of giutInous thread spun from special
secretive glanda The young are looked out for

FISHES OF THE OCEAN.
Queer Things Observed of Them in the Fish
Commissions AQuaria.


Commission's Aquaria.
THE SUCCESS OF THE MARINE AQUARfA
l. at the building of the United States fish
commission has solved a very interesting prob
lem by proving that it is possible to keep sea
animals and plants at a distance from their
native element and without supplies of water
from the ocean.
Such'a thing has been declared impracticable
hitherto, and it has been asserted that artificial
sea water would never afford satisfactory sub
stltute in aquaria for the real article. Never
theless, for three years now the marine ''grotto"
has afforded pleasure and instruction to the
people of Washington, as well as to visitors
here. 1t has come to be regarded. in fact. as
one OF the most interesting sights Of the cap
ital. The idea Of it ia to represent ocean
cavern, through windows in the walls Of which
the observer looks out upon the creatures which
live and move in the green depths
ARTIFICIAL SEA WATER.
The original supply Of sea water for these
tanks was brought from Chesapeake bay, but
it has been found so difficult to procure it con-
stantly fresh that solution made from salt
produced by the evaporation Of sea water is
used to a considerable extent as q substitute.
Every now and then sening expeditions made
for the purpose procure new specimens to re-
plenlsh the live stock. Besides giving amuse-
ment the aquaria afford most valuable oppor-
tunities for scientific study. For example, q
series of experiments have been conducted
with view to discovering whether certain
complaints to which fresh water fishes are
liable could be cured by brackish water treat
ment.
This treatment consists simply in putting the
sick fish into salty water. There Is a fungus
which attacks fishes where thew have been
wounded. No remedy for it has been known
hitherto, but it is found that salt water cures
the trouble in a very brief time. Equally good
effects obtained in the same way with
fishes which suffer from certain infusorian
parasites. One of these encysts itself in the
skin, and SO completely will the fnny victim
become infested that hardly spot as big as a
pins head on the surface of it's body will be
