A FISH THAT FIGHTS.
The Aggrexsive and Iridescent Pla-
kat of Siam.

So aggressive Is the plakat. a little
fish from Siam. that the entertainment
it afords has become g national pas
tine. The fishes are trained 10 go
through regular battles and are reared
~artifciaIly for the purpose. while the
license TO exhibit them 30 the general
public is farrnei out and brings a large
amount Of money into the royal Golfers.
They are kept in aguariuMs built for
the purpose and fed upon the larvae Of
mosquitoes and every possible care
taken Of them. When the fish is in a
quiet state. with the fms at rest, the
dull coiors are not al ali remarkable.
But If TWO are brought together OF
within sight OF each other, or even If
Z sees its own image in a looking
glass, the little creature becomes sud
denly excited.
The fins are raised, and the whole
body shines with metallic luster and
colors OF dazzling beauty. while the
protecting gill membrane, waving like
a black frilI round the throat. makes
grotesque the general appearance. In
this state Of irritation il makes repeat
ed darts at Its real or reflected antago
mist If two are placed together In
q tank they rush at each other with the
utmost fury. The battle is kept on IN
til one is killed or put to flight, but no
| until they are entirely separated doe:
the victor shut his gaudy fms, that. Iiks
flags Of war. are never lowered unit

guenot rebellion at Rochelle broke out,

ready to sail the authorities In England
became disagreeably aware that their
ships would be used against the
French Protestants.
Buckingham was conscious Of the
storm OF indignation this would arouse
in England In his perple1ity the only
solution that occurred to him was to
instruct Pennington to get his men to
mutiny. a secret message to this ef.

writes as follows Of the relations exist

the Poles: They remain separate. like

and Polish society-and it will at once
