A sEIAF-BuRYING FISH.


A fish of curious habits exists in
New Zealand, and, as it has apparently
hitherto escaped the notice Of natural
lists, you will, perhaps, admit a brief
account of It, The fish is called by the
Maories the kakawai. Its habitat is
very extensive in the North Island, and
it may be found on the Wairarapa
plains, the Forty-miie bush, etc. 1t is
generally discovered when man is
digging out rabbits or making post
holes in the summer time, and 1t lies at
a depth of a foot or two feet under the
soil. The character of the soil, wheth-
err sandy or loamy, does not seem to
matter. The fish is from two to three
inches long, silvery, shaped like a min.
now, but rather more slender and ia
pering. 1t appears to be dead when ex-
humed and if dug up in the summer
and put into water it dies at once IF,
however, it is brought to daylight in
May or early June (the end of autumn),
when the rains are beginning to make
the soil thoroughly wet, and put into a
tub of water, curious thing happens.
After a day or two it casts its skin,
which sinks to the bottom, and the fish
plays about bright and lively. When
dug up in summer there appears to be
growth of skin, or perhaps OF a dry,
gummy emulation, which seals up the
head and gills. Apparently this enables
it to aestivate through the dry weather,
and seals the fish as an Indian fakir is
sealed up before he goes in for long
fasting burial OF course, in winter
there must be marshy spots or pools in
which the fish can swim and propag gate,

BAY VIEW PARK,

Since last year decided change for
the better has taken place in the con-
dition of that section bordering on the
harbor In pursuance of plan adopted
sometime since and partly exemplified
in the reconstructed bulkhead and
short drive, in July last, further i'm
provement was resumed upon the lat
ter AS result the roadway has been
widened five feet for its entire length
from Hallock avenue to Sea street. thus
giving full width Of twenty five feet,
and also macadamized with crushed
stone, four inches in thickness, the sur
face being then thoroughly rolled and
graded. In addition, several catch
basins, connected with sewer pipes I'M
der the drive, We're provided to proper
ly drain it's finished surface, while some
twenty or more thrifty, young Willows
at either side of the roadway, were
carefully transplanted to conform to
the revised alignment The cost Of
these combined Improvements aggre-
gated s1.04231, thereby absorbing the
greater part of the available appropria-
ton, but we are of the opinion that this
contract work was well executed and
will prove Of permanent value.
During the summer season the in
crease in the number of people seeking
bathing privileges was really remarka-
BILE, to meet which in part several adj
ditional dressing rooms were arranged
in the old, inadequate bath-houses, all
these being in charge of an attendant
whose duty it was to preserve order and
also to give preference to women and
children in their use. The experience
thus gained clearly demonstrates the
urgent need of ampler and better ac-
commodations for the hundreds who
would take advantage of sea-bathing.
1t also presents forcible argument in
favor of the establishment by the city
of free public baths.
Some further attention was given to
the desirable work Of filling and grad
ing, that section lying between the lake
and the cottage at Sea street having
been thus treated. In order to produce
a lawn-like surface 1T will first be es-
eential to treat the sandy soil with
good loan and 1t is expected that this
may be attended to in part without de-
lay; also, further progress be made in
the equally important scheme for plant
ing. In view of he fact that this park
is directly on the line of Howard ave-
nue.. in he midst OF district now well
populated, 1t seems advisable that the
council should lay concrete
walks along the cross streets bordering
on the territory and also provide an adj
ditional number of electric lights The
of closing up Hallock ave-
nue. where it intersects the park, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets, has al
ready been advocated and should be
brought to the attention of the
ritu d
