FOLLOWERS OF THE SHARK.
Peouliarities Of the Pilot Fish as Ob-
 served at the Aquarium.

The Aquarium has received lately from GraTssend Bay several specimens Of the pilot fish, It is the familiar habit of the pilot nsh to follow tho shark. II does not always do this. however, but sometimes keeps away fl om it. There are sharks and pilot fish in the great pool of the Aquarium, and also in one of the large double wal tenlzs on the ground tier of the salt water side. Tn the pool 2 pilot fish may sometimes be seen accompanying g q shark, swimming directly under it and going round and round the pool with 1t. Sometimes 9 number Of pilot fishes together keep along by the side of shark. swimming with it, and then sometimes the pilot fishes keep aNay from the sharks entirely and live as any fishes might, having an exist icnce of their own. The pilot fishes ac- companying sharks get as food some of the scraps the sharks leave, but pilot fshes also at times supply themselves with food independently, as any fishes might.
 The pilot fishes in the wall tank at tend the sharks less than these in the pool Sometimes they start up to fol- low them. but the quarters in the tank are so limited that the sharks when they move are constantly turning up- on themselves. The pilot fishes have scarcely set in to follow before the shark makes an abrupt change in it's course. Of course, the pilot fish could dc this, too, but it seems mere inclined to stay by itself.-NeW York San.

GOSSIP OF OTHER CAPITALS.

Count Gianotti. who is married to Miss Constance Kinney of New Jersey, has just addressed in his capacity of pfefect Of the royal household Of King HuInbert circular letter to ali the great dignities of state in Italy, official ly announcing that Duchess Helene of kosta, sister of the duke of Orleans, and daughter Of the late count Of Paris, expects to become 9 mother some time in November, writes the Marquise De Fontency in Washington Post
 The news has been received with q considerable amount of satisfaction by all the friends of the royal household o. Savoy. For the birth Of child will not only constitute, So to speak the seal Of reconciliation between a young couple whose early married life was nlarred by so much ncompatibil- ity that the princess on several occas- ions left her husband, while it likewise assures the succession to the Italian crown.
 The latter has become a matter of considerable importance since the fail ure of the crown princess of Italy to fulfill the expectations Of the Italian people in the matter.
 The birth of the child will proba ply take place at Florence, unless it is de ciGed to transfer the abode or the Aosta household to Turin for the event.
 Duchess Helene is an extremely am bilious woman. and most Of the diff feTences which have disturbed her re- lations with her husband in times past originated with the disappointment which sine sustained through the mar riage Of the Italian crown prince.
 At the time when she accorded her hand to the duke of Aosta it was on the understanding that the crown prince would never take 3 wife to him
