Ems OF THE WORLD TO BE SEEN NEW YORK AQUARIUM

piscecidal mania he can rapidly create
havoc in the tank. Sliding rapidly past
the fish he wishes to attack, the angel
fish slashes the victim with his long
spines, using them as scimitars. An
other odd fish. with a curious but more
peaceable characteristic, is the little
puffer. which is afraid of thunder and
acting on some occult foreknowledge of
a storm, swallows water ballast until he
sinks to the bottom, where he burrows
under the sand and pebbles until only
his nose and eyes show. There he re-
mains until the storm arrives and passes
over. The puffer is the aquarium barom-
eter though all the fish are apparently
sensitive to the approach of storms.
The show fishes OF the aquarium are
the gorgeously hued specimens that are
brought from Bermuda, such as the angel
fish, parrots and green nlorays Some
of these tropical fish have lived for
four years in the aquarium in salt water
kept at gulf stream temperature the year
round. The fish are caught at the tenn
porary biological station maintained at
Bermuda by New York University under
the dictatorship of Prof c. d. Bristol.
Geological students at the university go
to Bermuda in the summer, and, under
the direction of skilled instructors, col
lect for aquariums and for the great bio
logical laboratories of the university. in
New York the specimens with which
these waters are so plentifully supplied.
The biologists interested are trying to
interest men OF wealth in the establish
ment of permanent biological station
at the Flats. Bermuda, the situation of
which for securing many varieties of
tropical fish Is unexcelled anywhere in
the world. If this station can be estab-
lished it is predicted that thousands of
live fish can be shipped north in year,

rum stands at the extreme southerly end
of Manhattan Island, looking out on the
broad sweep of New York harbor, and
backed by the sky-fiung turrets Of the
great hives of finance, which emphasize
its unpretentiousness.
But it attracts more visitors than the
Louvre at Paris. or ST. Peters Cathedral
at Rome. The throngs average 5000 per-
sons daily for 1856 days in the year. or a
total considerably above 100000, and
during the past summer the daily crowds
frequently reached the 10000 mark.

period appeared and the important social
and political gatherings were held. From
1855 to 1890 II was used as a reception
station for immigrants. and since 1896
has been the aquarium. 1t now contains
the finest collection OF live fish in the
world. and over 100000 persons have
been TO see them since it was opened.
The collection includes 200 different spe-
cies The fish are contained in seven

tanks, thirty smaller tanks and twenty
six reserve tanks The pumping system
circulates about 100000 gallons OF salt
water daily and nearly as much fresh
water. In addition to the regular exhibits
a fish hatchery is maintained which pro-
duces about 1900, 900 food and game fish
annually.
The Fish Are Fastidious.
The care Of all these fish is an i'm
mense task, according to the aquarium
authorities, and constantly necessitates
the attention of some twenty attendants
or nurses. who look after the food and
water of the piscatorial captives, and see
that they do not fight. or get injured, or
i'll. or succumb to attacks of parasites
The food alone is quite problem, for
fish are extremely fastidious. and will re-
fuse to eat altogether IL the table does
not suit them. The turtles. some of
them weighing $50 pounds or more. con-
sumo a dainty bill of fare of chopped
beef, earth worms and small minnows

ON minced liver and herring roe. The
little sea horses like to partake of a
meal of gammarus. a minute crustacean
found in certain kinds Of sea moss, and

catfish that fasts religiously from Sapten-
Der to April. In spite of this frugal habit,
the fish has gained twenty pounds in the
four years of its captivity, and now
weighs about sixty pounds.
1t will be readily seen from these in
stances that 200 species of fish. with diff
fering appetite for each species, requires
a versatile chef TO cater to them. For the
more ordinary dishes the aquarium has
special hunters who scour the coast for
fish food. The ordinary consumption of
this is soft CLANS. 1000 a month; marine
worms. 1000 a month: mussels, six
bushels a year: shrimp. twenty-five quarts
a week: minnows fifteen quarts daily,
and small crabs by the thousand. In
addition. cod. herring. smelt beef and
liver have to be purchased to the extent
of 700 or 800 pounds a month.
Some Have Bad Tempers.
Another thing the aquarium managers
have to reckon with is the temper of the
various fishes. Each tank has its boss
or leader. who has probably risen to his
position by dint of physical prowess. AS
soon as new fish are put in tank the
leader singles out the leader of the new
corners and a pitched battle ensues in
which all fins join. Sometimes these
shindgs last until one of the two chief
combatants is removed from the tank,
whereupon all the others bow to their I'M
disputed leader.

Kosher and It's Mines.
Have. you ever heard of the town OF
Kosier?s Itsis Red sea port that at one
time had a. great. trade. 1t lies on the
west coast some distance south of SueZ.
1t was formerly the end of a caravan
route from the Nile, and the early Chris
tiars crossed over that way and took
boats for the Sinai peninsula to reach the
mountain where Moses received the COM
mandments.
Today Kosier is stopping place for
Egyptian pilgrims on their way to Jed
dah 1t used to be much more important
in that respect than now. 1t had many
inns and hotel tents outside 1t was well
supplied with dancing girls and the other
surroundings of true pilgrimage center.
Then the Suez canal came and killed it.
The port is now nothing. Its big houses
have fallen 20 ruins and it has become a
village of one-story huts. There are
emerald mines near 1t. however, and the
desert region about shows evidences of
having been once worked for gold.
Port Sudan.
The two chief ports on the west coast
of the Red sea are Port Sudan and Sua-
kim They were nothing few years ago
but they promise to grow into cities since
the completion of the Red Sea road. There
has always been something of town at
suakim. and the original intention was ia
use that place as the terminus of the rail-
way. The English surveyors, however
found much better harbor at Port Sudan,
and they have extended the railroad to
that point. The town, which was abso-
lutely nothing two years ago. has now
several thousand people, and it grows like
one of the mushroom settlements of the
Canadian west. The British government
is erecting great docks and harbor build
ings. 1t has put up lighthouses and built
a post office. quarters for the government
officials and schools. Many lots are being
sold and residences are going up. The set
tiers are chiefly Europeans, the most of
whom come from Italy and Greece.
The harbor of Port Sudan is shaped like
leaf. 1t is 2C0-feet deep and well pro-
tected from the sea outside. There are
now steamers twice week from there to
Suez and Alden. The ships start at SueZ,
go to Port Sudan. and then south around
the west coast of the Red sea. and return.
calling at some of the ports on the east
coast. The ships are of the Egyptian
khedevial line. They are said to be COM
forta BILE.
At present one of the great needs of
