large finely formed fish. also takes care OF not
only the eggs but the young in this way. As soon
deposited the male takes the eggs into his
mouth. After being Matched the young ones keep
close by him. and when danger threatens seek
refuge in his capacious mouth
The armored catfish OF South America has very
singular contrivanco for protecting its eggs During
the breeding season the male is provided with
numerous series OF little stalks on the under
face of the abdomen, and upon these stalks the
eggs are received and carried until Matched.
one Of the most bizarre OF the denizens OF the
deep Is the sea horse. The male OF this remarkable
looking species IS provided with pouch. in which
II carries the eggs until they are Matched. when
they are forced out by the fish Other species which
carry their in pouches are the pipeish and the
soeuostoma, allied fish.
An exceedingly peculiar species IN habiting deep
waters Is the lump fish This fish possesses
sucker formed by the two ventral fins. which
shaped that when the fish reclnes upon rock the
fins act suckers and hold II firmly. AS
the eggs are deposited the female feeling that she
has done her part deserts them and the male at
once assumes charge and guards the eggs until they
hatch. and then the young until they are able 10
take care OF themselves. In moving around he is
closely followed by his numerous family. which has
given rise 10 the term "hen and chickens AT
times they attach themselves to the sides Of their
protector by their sucking disks, thus presenting
very singular appearance.
A number Of species build nests many Of them
very elaborate IN which 10 deposit their eggs. The
best known OF these fish is the little stckleback.
Early IN the season the male builds very ornate
nest with opening side After the
females-he is polygamous-have deposited their
eggs in the nest he drives them away and then
spends the greater part OF his time in rearranging
the eggs and in tanning them with his fins he
balances himself obquey before one OF the doors
Of his nest The young hatch in about month.
and then he is buster than in trying to prevent
the young from straying. Should one get out 1t is
either driven back he sezes it in his mouth and
carries it back. Frequently the strain proves too
much Tor him and he gives up his life before the
young fish have grown large enough to look out for
themselves and their fate is then sealed. there
are many hungry mouths waiting for just such an
event and their mother would not be the last to
share in the cannibalistic feast.
The anteanarus OF the Gulf Stream. the snake
head fish OF India the ballau wrasse of Great
Britain and a small catfish of South America also
construct nests In which the eggs deposited and

not be retouchsd in the slightest. In such cases

egg and young stages can be gathered when Il IS
stated scientists estimate that Il out OF

would keep up the supply.
The size Of the eggs varies considerably The
marine catfish has eggs as large as robin gss' IN

aHeter. and tho brook trout thFee,slNtecnths ~

yeiope, fourth OF an inch IN diameter. while IN
tho eel they are almost microscopic
For many years 70 supposed that all FISH
deposited their eggs upon tho shoals Of the sea-
shore or upon the beds OF shallow inland streams,
where they rested until Matched or were devoured
by other FISH and birds. Now IL is known that many
marine species deposit their eggs at the surface OF
the ocean, where they float until Incubation is
complete. OF the species that produce floating
eggs maR' be mentioned the cod mackerel. Spanish
mackere, bonto, cusk. haddock and many OF the
founders
While most OF the valuable food fishes. among
them the salmon. shad and mackerel. deposit their
eggs and leave them and the young which eventu-
ally hatch to their fate, other species guard
not only the eggs but the young. and most re-
markable feature OF this is that It Is usually the
male FISH which performs this duty. The black
bass. catfish and sunsh deposit their eggs I'm shall
low depressions. and the males guard them during
incubation and protect the young for a short time
just as hen does her chickens. The goldfish and
the blackhead minnow deposit the formulated eggs
upon the under side of leaves of water plants and
the male watches them until they are Matched

enjoy musical treat this year, for
the Second Regiment Band, under
the direction OF Prof. W. S. Schu-
maeher will give free open air con-
certs during the entire week.

the Carnival Show Companies, for
whenever the strains Of its sweet mu-
sic, burst forth and mingle With the fes-

it allures the crowd and holds it spell
bound, while the spillers cry ont the
wonders Of their performances to un-
listening ears. The Band is known
far beyond the borders of our own
state as one Of the best bauds IN the
south, and there is never carnival
or a fair in the State that it is not
sought after, and when secured adver-
tised as the principle attraction. It is
