THE LUMP FISH.
uneainly in shape, but beautiful in
CoIor--A Specimen Now at the
New York Aquarium.


Among a number OF FISH lately re-
ceived at the aquarium is a lump fish,
from Gravesend bay. The lump fish is
ungaluly In shape and clumsy in action,
but its colorng makes Il beautiful.
Looked at broadside on, its outline is
tomething Ike that OF Hat fish, but,
IN the cross section, the lump fish is
something like tall triangle, running
up TO a point at the top and being
thickest near the lower part OF the
body, while almost Hat across the belly.
On the under part Of the body, iust back
Of the head, the lump fish has a sucking
disk, by means of which il attacles IT,
self TO rocks or any other object. some
times It Ties on the bottom. 1t has a
small head and mouth and little eyes.
The lump fish Is sometimes green
aud sometimes brown in color, The one
now Mt the aquarium, which is about
half grown and six OF seven inches In
length. Is green fish. On some parts
Of the body the green shades into gray,
but green is the fish's distinguishing
color shading from coppery green
into paler tint and so into the gray.
The colors are not dull, but they are
without luster.
The aquarium has had at different
times two or three lump fish before this
one. but none of them lived long. 1t is
fish difficult TO keep in captivity, and
none of those here before could he per
suaded TO eat. This one, however Is
eating with pretty fair appetite. II
lives at present on shrimps, which are
partly stunned before placing them In
the water, which makes it easier for the
lump fish TO get them. II eats shrimps
in nature when II gets a chance, clos.
ing up on them gradually when they
| nc motiouless on stone or spile, and
finally with sudden motion nahbing
them. II would do it here il IL had a
chance. As It Is, the shrimp are fed TO H.

SOLDIERS LIFE EASIER.
Hts aLeans OF Irotection, Weapons
ana g0od Are mach Improved
OF Late Years.

Although soldering would seem 70 be
a more perilous business ihqn il ever
was before, IN consequence 81 the great
er force, rapidity and range OF weapons,
and the higher power OF explosives,
the result may show that modern bat
ties are not more deadly than were
these In the civil war, since an attempt
has been made TO connteract the der
structiye forces by stouter projections
in forts and by system Of tactics that
replaces the old solid formations with
something like the skirmish order OF
former times. 1t may be also that the
troops will fight at further distance, al
lowing for the longer carringe OF bull
lets and shells. N
But Of ono thing we are certain. II
the perils of'war have been multiplied
the comforts of the camp have been in
crensed until they are a partial offset.
Clothing Is stoutcr, IL the millers choose
to make II SO; cnmp outfits include
cooking apparatus that can be carried
on the back OF one man; the canning OF
meats, vegetables and fruits, the desic-
cation Of other articles of food, and the
general cheapening of many things
that were luXuries n few years ago
make II possible to live in camp almost
as in hotel. The substitution of alu.
minium for iron in utensils Is another
advantage, and in general there is a
tendency TO both lightness of outfit and
extension of properties contained In H.

by the government In its clothing and
