One call for services a professional

In the Rage Of Battle They Turn From
Dull to Brilliant Colers.
In the gardens Of Singapore It Is tina
custom to stock the ponds with all
manner Of queer fishes. many OF them
of the lighting variety SO dear to the
heart OF the orientals. This species OF
fish Is so combative that it il only nee
essary to place two of them near each
other. like fighting cocks. and perhaps
to irritate them a little to bring on a
lively conflict.
They ut once charge each other With
fms erect, at the same time changing
color in their excitement from the dut,-
est Of gray greens to brilliant reds and
blues. Indeed. confinement in close
quarters is not needed to arouse their
combative propensities.
Place two glass jars close together.
with one of these fighting fish in each
and they will at once swim round aud
endeavor to charge each other through
the interposed glass.
Even a single fish seeing himself re-
dected in a mirror will dart at his
own image and. irritated all the more
BY his failure to reach his supposed
enemy, will assume the most brilliant
hues. Seeing his reflected antagonist
do the same. be will redouble his eft
forts to reach him.-Exchange.

elephant.
At length Shajee came forward and
suggested q plan which was simple
and yet ingenious in the highest de-
gree He caused the unwieidy animal
to be conducted along 4 stage special
~ made for the purpose by tho water
side into a dat bottomed boat. Then.
having marked on the boat the height
to which the water reached after the
elephant had weighed it down. tho
latter was taken out and stones sub

the boat to the same line. The stones
were then taken to the scales. and
thus. to the amaxement Of the court.
was ascertained the true weight Of
