A Nest. Bnilding Fish.

One Of the queerest denizeDs Of the
deep, and one which could very prop
erly be called an archaeological won
der, is the gouramis, the famous nest
building fish of the Oriental seas.
These fish are very plentiful in the
waters of Cochin China, Java, Su-
matra and Borneo. At the breeding
they pair off like birds and, selecting
favorable spot in shallow water
among aquatic plants and grasses,
build large spherical nests Of floating
weeds and plaster them over with
mud. The broad, fiat fms used in this
last operation are attached to the alb
domen and are wholly different from
anything in the fin line known to nat
uralists. The full-grown female is six
feet long and weighs 10 pounds. The
eggs of this queer fish, which are de
posted i'll the mud-plastered nest.

The annual report of fires of the
Board of Fire Underwriters, of New
York City, contains some interesting
statistical information. Several tables
set forth the number of alarms and
the amount Of losses for thirty-nine
years up to April 30, 1898. From
these may be gathered an idea of the
growing efficiency of the Fire Depart
ment, as well as the rate of increase
of fires due to the growth of the city.
The insurance money paid in 1855
in adjustment of losses was 80. 81 per
cent. of the amount placed. For the
succeeding years until 1870, when the
paid department was adopted, this
percentage was not reduced-in fact,
rose in the last few years of this
period. But since, and including
1890, there has been constant al
though not steady reduction. The first
year the paid fremen took hold it was
%. IS per cent. In the year ending
April 80, 1893, it was Is. 10 per cent.
the lowest in all but two years in the
history of the city. This is telling
testimony to the value Of the paid de-
partment. In 1S45 there were 3J5 fire
alarms, in 1898 1850, a steady ascent,
excepting the years 1868 and 1862,
when the number was exactly the
same, that is, 700. Fires are most nu-
merous in January and after that in
December. They are fewest in Sep
TENDER and August, The aggregate
for the Januarys since 1854 was 4S47,
for December 4749, July AGO
March 1929, April 4159, February
1904, November 1867, May 1924, June
1856, October 1892, August 1852, anC
September 1859 As may be seen, the
winter months bring the most vista
tions of fire, except July, whose large
number is accounted for 10y Fourth o
July fires.

A few years ago, relates the New
Orleans PIcayune, the Mikado Of
Japan determined to ask his people to
help him govern them, and with
flourish of trumpets called for an cleo
tion and organized parliament Late
reports from that country say that
now he is having a hard time to man
age the popular representatives. Not
long ago the conservative majority eX-
PEELED the President, Hoshi, because
he insisted in keeping faith with for
eign powers. Then Foreign Minister
Mitsu made them an address, showing
that the course of the majority would
result in losing eyerything'that Japan
had gained in thirty years, but they
would not listen to reason, and the
session was suspended for ten days. 1t
is said that the doings of the Japanese
parliament would furnish first rate ma
terial for a comic opera. The minis
tiers attend the sessions with orders for
the suspension Of parliament ready
signed and sealed 10y the Emperor in
their pockets, and when the body be-
comes unruly the orders are produced,
and the session suspended for ten days
or fortnight. The majority of the
members are intensely Japanese, OPP
posed to everything foreign, and they
have no idea of parliamentary pro-
ceedure. 1t is said that the Mikado
has started a movement which is sure
to give him good deal of trouble Ill.
