FISHES LONG LIVED
AQUARIUM SPECIMENS ATTAIN

In the July bulletin of the New
York Geological society some facts are
given in regard to the longevity OF
fishes in the New York aquarium.
says the New York Post. The Oldest
are the striped bass, which
have been there for ten years, having
been placed in one OF the floor pools
before the building was opened to the
public. In May, 1894, fifty-dve speci-
mems, Weighing from q quarter OF
pound to four pounds, we're secured,
twenty-seven Of which have survived.
Most of those that were lost died in
the first year, and in the last four
years not one has died. Their fooG
has been chiefly live minnows, sup
plemented by live shrimp, small crabs.
marine worms and occasionally. when
other food was scarce. herring cut In
strips and a few clans. The largest
specimen now weighs about thirty
pounds. Their actual weights are not
known, but the length Of some OF
them is, and the weight estimated
accordingly. One bass, received in
/ 1896. when 1t weighed a quarter Of .
pound and had a length OF seven
= inches, died seven years later. by
which time it had attained a length
of twenty.six inches and weight OF
nine pounds.
! They are sea fishes which enter
fresh water to spawn. and are very
active and gamy. It is remarkable
that such fishes have done SO well.
Other species in the aquarium which
may be considered old residents are
the bony gar. mudfish, common eel
gray snapper. spot snapper. red
grouper and Nassau grouper. Several
individuals of each have been sever
years in the aquarium. They are sup
posed to require pure sea water. bu'

A CHICKEN-HORSE.

"A friend invited me out for a week at
her summer cottage last July" said the
kind hearted and obliging girl. Il had
lovely time, too, but the vagaries of Charlie
and Margie certainly added variety to my
stay. Charlie and Margie are my hostess's
two beautiful babies-regular. dear little
dimpled darlings.' She bought dozen and
a half of chickens from a farmer. She
viewed them in the light of fries and fricas-
sees, but Charlie and Margie Immediately
claimed the whole eighteen pets. Their
mother finally compromised the matter by
giving each of them chicken for their very
own. Then il was necessary that those be-
loved chickens should be somehow fixed so
that their small owners could hold on to
them, for they showed themselves singular
ly unappreciative of the privilege of being
squeezed tight in soft little arms. So the de-
voted mamma tied a string around one leg
of each chicken, and the rural population
would nearly die laughing to see Charlie
and Margie trotting along the road, driving
their chickens, with the string for reins.
If / went for a walk Margie would kindly
offer to go with me. Of course. the dear
chicken could not be left behind, and /
was usually allowed the gracious privilege
of carrying it. One time. though, Margie
wanted ii again, and while she was driving
ii, Ii got away from her and ran under the
front porch of a house were passing,
string and ALL II declined to be coaxed
out, and there l had to sit on that front
residents came out and passers-by stopped
to inquire whether L was sick or what was
the matter until the chicken condescended
TO emerge.
After that Margie and agreed that it
was best TO tie the chicken to the hitching
post when we went for walk.
