several excursions across this valley but

rests with tho First Nebraska and
after the fight was started We had our

Fish as Fighters.

The inhabitants of Cochin China and
Siam have known the fighting capacity
of a savage little fish for many years,
and have long been in the habit of
making matches between those owned
by different men. just as Mexicans
match gamecOcks and some Americans
and Englishmen bull pups. When a
match is made the parties to it having
laid their bets bring their specimens
of the fierce little Beta pugnax in
globes of water. Both are put into one
globe and without u moments hesita-
ticn they fly at each other and do not
cease fighting until one of the COM
batants is killed by the other.
1t is only a year or two since speci-
mems of this fish were brought to
Paris, but now many are owned in
Paris. and it is said that the demand
for good specimens is constantly on the
increase. They are beautifully spotted
with red and blue and would attract
attention in any aquarium by their
colors alone. The savage nature De-
hind the beauty would hardly be sus-
pected.-Chicago Inter Ocean.
