BIG CATFISH EATING AGAIN.
Aquarium's Champion Had Tasted Ter
Months and Six Days-This Is the

Aquarium's Champion Had tasted Ten
Months and Six Days-This Is the
Record.
The big Mississippi river catfish at
the New York Aquarium, after Its long
annual period Of Information, took its
first food this year on May 13. This
was the first food it had taken since
July 8, 1903, a period Of ten months
and six days.
This makes a record for the big
catfish, and it would very probably be
found to be the record for fishes in
captivity everywhere.
In each succeeding year since 1t has
been here this big catfish has In the
alternating season abstained from food
for longer and longer time. 1t was
received in December, 1899. The fol-
lowing little table shows when in each
year 1t stopped eating and when 1t re-
sumed:
Stopped Feeding Resumed Feeding
1900, Nov. - .......... April 30, 1901

1903, July 7 May 13.1904
This big catfish Is about three and
a half feet in length and weighs pro-
badly about seventy pounds. 1t has
grown somewhat in length and In
weight since it was first received. II
is clean and free from fungus and In
good condition and it has now appar-
emily as much vitality as when it first
came in.
This year when finally 1t began to
take food, 1t came up for it with Its
normal degree Of activity, and took
three medium sized eels, cut up into
lengths convenient for 1t to swallow
On May II it was eager for food and
it ate four rather larger eels, cut ur
for 1t into suitable lengths; and 1t now
moves about in its tank in its accus-
toned manner.
In nature this big catfish would bury
itself in the mud in winter and there
lie dormant until spring. Mud cannot
be provided for 1t here, because mud
would choke the pipes Of the tank
which Is therefore supplied with q
bed Of sand on its bottom.
The catfish rubs and hollows this out
to make in it a comfortable bed fol-
ITSELF and this sand also serves the
good purpose Of helping to keep the
big fish clear Of parasites.
AS the alternating season approach
es the big catfish settles down in Its
bed of sand, and there it will lie mo-
tionless for weeks at a time. 1t Is
not an uncommon thing for visitors
to announce that the big fish Is dead;
as in fact it might easily seem to be-
for it's respiration is at such times sc
very faint that the movement Of Its gill
covers could be detected only by those
experienced in observing fishes.
But, as has been seen, after months
Of seeming lifelessness, the big catfish
will come up and begin feeding again,
and resume its ordinary manner OF
life just as though nothing had hap
pened. 1t would scarcely seem, how
ever, that it could ever surpass It's
present great fasting record.-New

ARMIES OF NORTH AND SOUTH,
Mr.. Lee Contrasts Their Relative
Strenqth in the War.


Mr.. Cassenove G. Lee Of Washing
ton, a recognized authority on Civil
war statistics, says the Baltimore Sun,
has prepared an interesting table show
ing the enormous numerical superiori-
ty Of the Northern army over that of
the South during the Civil war. Mr..
Lees figures show that the total en-
listments in the Northern army were
2,77S,304 as against 100000 in the Con-
federate army. The foreigners and ne
groes in the Northern army aggregated
6SO,917, or SO,917 more than the total
strength of the Confederate army.
There were 316,424 men Of Southern
birth in the Northern army. Mr.. Lees
figures are as follows:

Just how many men have been train

roys it would be hard to say; but the
influence has gone even deeper than
the training Of those directly brought
under that discipline. The Chinese
soldier, not only in the eyes Of the Eu-

countryman, Is, today, a person to be
respected, and the ranks Of the provin-

General Frey states that the Chinese
special military schools are capable OF
furnishing q sufficient number Of sub
altern officers, and, as is we'll known,
military instruction at these instltu-
