SHARKS AND SUCKERS.
How the Big Fish Carry Around the
Little Fish on Theis Backs.

A,h Oh
The sharks in the marine section of
the aquarium play every day and all
the day to big crowds. The sharks do
not seem to enjoy it much. There are
only two of them left now; there were
six at first, but the biggest one, five
footer, and three of the smaller ones
died. Chicago-made salt water does
not seem to agree with them at all.
Some folks who look at these sharks
indulge themselves in the pleasing
fancy that they are looking at real
vicious man-eaters, regular monsters
OF the deep that go around amusing
themselves by swapping legs off sailors.
These fellows are no man-eaters,
though; they are just common sand
sharks caught in pound nets off the Car
DINA coast They are of species that
seldom grows to be over five or six feet
long. They could not eat a man if
they tried, but they can make it lively
for the fish in sight when they get
hungry.
But whether these sharks are man
eaters or not they look exceedingly
sharky and wicked. They are long and
thin and clipper-like, and they fit
about their tanks like evil shadows.
They have curved mouths set away
back under their inquisitive shouts,
and the mouths have multitudes Of
needle-like white teeth. One of these
sharks, the larger one, has a
constant companion that causes a
good deal of comment and guessing
among visitors. 1t is slender fish
about eight inches long that has at
tached itself, apparently by its teeth,
to the smooth skin of the sharks back.
1t sticks closer than a brother or a
leech. Some of the visitors think it is
a young shark. The guard will tell
you that it is a pilot fish, but that
shows that there are some things which
even Columbian guard does not know.
The fish is what the Carolina fishermen
call sucker fish, remora. If you ask
Prof Forbes Of the fish commission he
will tell you that it is the ectieneis nau-
crates Of lime.
That is pretty imposing name for so
little a fish, but the creature itself is
one of the most interesting of swim
ming things The remora he's set in
the top of its fiat head an oval sucker
plate, whereby it has an easy time. The
remora attaches itself by this sucker
plate to the first big fish that comes
along and rides around just as lazily as
a fat woman in a roller chair. What
ever the big fish gets to eat the remora
has also its share; it catches the crumbs
and leavings. There is no fish that has
more fun and an easier time than this
remora.
Some Of the West Indians make this
parasite work for living though. They
use him for an animated fshhook
They tie string to his tail and let him
into the water to swim around until he
falls afOul of a,turtle. Then when he
has laid firm hold Of the turtle the wise
West Indian bags the whole outfit and
sets his remora for another turtle.

The myriad of gay lights from the

the ripples of the lagoon. High up
along the balcony they could see the
flaming torches, Pickering with Roman

looking down on the beautiful scene,

upon the wide rail of the fence. lean

about with eager, restless tread, they

In the distance they saw the simmer

gurgling murmur of the fountains.
