to know how their financies are be-

R,ere the Fresh Water Fish Live
When the Ponds Are Frozen.

How many of you know what be-
comes of the fresh water fish when
The ponds and streams are frozen?
A great many of them, especially
the larger ones, swim to a deep pool
and sink down to the bottom, where
they stay all through the cold
weather. If the pond or stream is
so deep that they do not become
chilled, they remain active, swim
ming about and taking food all win
ter, but when the stream is very
shallow they hide in sheltered holes,
moving about very little and taking
little or no food. Some fish, nota-
bly, goldfish and carp, are known to
live without food for months with
out showing any decrease in size.
The carp especially has great tenac-
ity of life and may survive after
being frozen in solid block of ice.
But the carp, with many other fish,
usually burrows in the mud at the
bottom of the stream or pond and
is imbedaed there all winter in |

was instituted. We do not know
that any member of the society has

however, that violence OF this sort
