One of the Wonderful piscatOria1
Raraties Found In China.
The oldest Of all piscatorial rarities
IS the paradise fish Of China. Like the
German canary and one or two other

where it is found in wild state. In
the land of the dragon they are kept

little oddities exhibiting more diver

the two sexes, measuring when full

body is shaped very much like that of

with irregular dark spots. The gills
are azurine blue, bordered with bril-,

The eyes are yellow and red, with
black pupil. The SIDES of the body and
the crescent shaped caudal fin are deep
crimson, the former having from ten
to twelve vertical blue stripes, while
the latter is bordered with blue. The
upper surface Of the body is continual
~ changing color-sometimes it is
white. at others gray, black Or blue.
The dorsal and anal fms are remarka-

WATER RIGHTS lNvloLATE.
Springs and Wells I'm Palestine Are
Protected by Severe Laws.

Springs and Wells I'm Palestine Ar@
Protected by Severe Laws.
Water is the most precious thing in
Palestine, and the laws which protect
springA and wells are very severe.
Most OF the wells are artificial. Rich
men at very great expense have CHS
eled basins and reservoirs out OF the
rocks to receive the flow from springs,
and il many places where no springs
could be found they have drilled
through the limestone a hundred feet
and sometimes twice that distance to
the artesian basin.
None but very rich sheks can afford
such an expenditure. Nevertheless,
they have not only been the greatest
benefactors of their fellow men, but
those who have sunk wells and built
fountains have erected monuments to
their fame more enduring than palaces
or temples or shafts of granite.
The temple of Solomon has vanished
forever, but the pools which he walled
up with masonry and filled with water
still remain. The wells that Abraham
anu JdCUU UElllSu ia tiAc loSh as dGto
of piety as well as power are as ins-
mortal as their names and will live for
ever as long as men feel thirst.
According to a Just custom Of the
country, water rights could never be
forfeited, No man who owned a well
might refuse his neighbor water for
his family or his flocks, but the lord
of the spring was inyiolate. No cred
itor or enemy could take his water
rights away from him. To injure or
Ill up a we'll was an objectionable
crime. When the Philistines threw
earth and stones into the well of Abra
ham, they intended to challenge hira
to a war Of extermina ton. These Gus
toms and regulations remain today
