It is spoken of as a dainty, rational and artistic opera comique with music that means something and libretto that is bright and polite and affords many histrionic opportunities to the talented prima donna star who plays and sings the title role.

Change of Color.

The way fishes sleep is study

which is nevertheless very interesting
They are very light sleepers and fire.
quently assume singular positions, but
the most remarkable thing is the
change of color which the majority
of them undergo while asleep. Usual.
lv their spots and stripes become dark
err and more distinct when they have
successfully sought temporary oh
livion.
Sometimes the pattern of their col
oring is entirely changed. The ordi-
nary porsy, for instance, presents III
the daytime beautifully iridescent hues
playing over its silvery sides. but at
night, on falling asleep, it takes on a
dull bronze tint, and six conspicuous
black bands make their appearance
on Its sides.
If it is suddenly awakened by the
turning up of the gas in the aquarium

color that it shows by daylight.
Naturalists ascribe these changes TO
the principle of protective coloration''
and point out that the appearance of
black bands and the deepening of the
spots serve to conceal the fish from
their enemies when lying amid the
eaweeds.-Buffalo Times.
