Ii one ever doubted that the people love
fish he may here have his doubts reno, ed.
OF all the creatures Of the animal world
the fish is certainly one of the most hcar-
tiful and graceful. lie has Il fascination
all his own. The troiIble j., ordinarily,
that we cannot see him alive. He hides
himself in his native eicaclit, and affords

satisfactory glimpses OF his charms. But
here he may be seen and stuffed and ud.
mired in all his glory. There arc such con.
%trasts, too. The fish are big and little,
active and lazy, pretty and ugly. Some
have color aud many have not, some are
playful, prankish, Others stupid, sleepy.

fish are TO be seen. There are fish every
where in this building. One may here
easily imagine himself gifted with the
power of walking Oh the bottom Of the sea
and holding communion with its finny in
habitants. Running around the rotunda

with glass sides, all filled with water and

varieties of deuiZens of the sea, the lakes
