NATURE KIND TO THE FISHES.
Injured Fins Are Quickly Repaired
Hut Those Entirely Gone Are
Not Restored.

What nature can do for fishes in
the way of repairing injuries is
shown in the case of a carp now in
the New York aquarium, whittier ii
was brought two years ago from the
lake in Prospect park, says the New
York Sun.
This carp, which is 16 or IL inches
long. was placed when first received
in a tank on the gallery tier on the
fresh water side of the aquarium, in
company with some smaller fishes.
1t didn't like the tank or the COM
pany and soon after being placed in
it the carp jumped out.
Over this tank, as over all the 9TH
ers along the tier, is a heavy wire
screen, put there to keep the fishes
in and keep rats out. Jumping up
against the screen the carp pushed
it aside and it had gone all but clear
out of the tank when the screen
dropped down again and nipped the
carp's tail between il and the IRON
bound edge of the tank.
The carp finished its trip to the
platform, four feet below the top of
the tank. upon which it landed minus
a square inch of its tail, torn off
when the screen dropped on it.
The carp's tail is about three inches
in length. The missing piece, COM
prising about one-third of the area
of the upper lobe, was torn out of
the upper extremity, making in that
upper end of the fish's tail deep,
right-angled notch.
IL has now been restored so near
" TO its original proportions that no
one not acquainted with the facts
would ever suspect that IL had been
curtailed at all. The rays, or slen-
der spines, that, like the stocks of
a fan in it, form the framework or
skeleton Of the tail, and the web or
membrane between them. have slow
~ grown out again. gradually filing
up this gap in the fish's tail and keep
ing on growing until now that upper
lobe is back into practically its origi-
nal proportions
This reproduction Of the solid piece
lost out Of the carp's tail seems won
derful, but nature, as is here shown,
is in fact in many ways benefcent to
fishes. Not infrequenfly there are
received at the aquarium fishes whose
fms have been split, the weakish be-
ing perhaps particularly susceptible

A weakfish comes in for instance.

the body of'a fan might be torn away
from some one of the sticks.
Commonly with the lapse of time
this injury is repaired here. The
web and the ray grow together again,
beginning at the inner end of the
rent, the healing and joining extend
ing outward toward the extremity.
Little trout, two or three inches
in length, have been received with
the dorsal almost destroyed by fun
gus, the fin so nearly gone that it
seemed at first glance TO have gone
entirely and as though the fish must
get through life without dorsal
fin.
But in time these trout have come
out of it with dorsal in full feather
so to speak. Salt water baths have
killed the fungus and kind nature has
done the rest.
And so il might appear that when
a fish lost fin nature would give
it another, but il viii not do that.
1t will restore a fin partly lost,
though commonly not in as perfect
form as the original; but il does
not repair an injury that extends be-
yond where the rays join. nor will it.
any more than il viii restore lost
scales, reproduce a fin that has been
lost entirely.

The great comet seen in the southern
hemisphere last May presented some
unusual features. AT the cape Of Good
Hope il was observed TO have a fan
shaped tail, consisting of two straight
and narrow principal streaks and a
large, broad, but fainter, appendage
toward the south. One report says
that on May the bright. straight tail
was IA degrees in length. while the
enormous lateral emission of shim-
mering light flooded the southwest
with a ghostly CLEAN 40 degrees long.

space between this mighty extension
and the more brilliant tail was filed

A Man of Resources.

The spectators who were watching
large store building burn down were
Mortified to see man appear at win
dow about twenty feet above the front
sidewalk, every other avenue Of escape
having been cut off by the flames.
The firement were at work in the rear
of the building, and there was no time
to go after ladder.
A leap to the ground below seemed
almost certain death. The man, how
ever, in spite of his position, was the
coolest person In sight.
'"Take off your coats" he shouted,
"and make pile Of them on the side
walk! I'll jump down on them"
1t was done in an instant. A hundred
them on the walk beneath the window,
the man meanwhile having climbed out
and hung by his hands from the ledge.
He dropped, alighted on the center Of
the pile, and escaped without injury,
the crowd cheering him Justify for his
pluck and generalship.
It only remains to add that it took
some time for the owners of the respec-
tive coats to identify and recover their
property, and the last man found only
ragged remnant of garment in place
of the fine new tailor-made article he
had contributed to the heap; but this,
let us hope, was an accident, such as
may sometimes happen when hasty Sc
lections are made from crowded um-
breIla rack.
