Young Mr. Ogcocepalus Radiatus ar
rived in New York yesterday from the
Florida Keys and registered at the
Aquarium. Although comparatively un-
known in New York, Mr.. Radiatus hopes
to conquer Broadway promptly, as he
is known in his Congressional district
as the most versatile fish that ever trod
the earth, TrodSs oh. dear. yes! He
can tread, or stalk. or walk. os swim, or
ny-thinGs like that are his specially. for
he is just as much at home on land as a
mosquito larva out of water.
Back in the Long Key fishing district
they call Mr.. Radiatus the Bat Fish.
This is because he has several almost
fins. which may be taken for fms, legs
or wings. just as one happens to meet
him. He is the first member of his
family to come to New York. and he
signalized his arrival by dashing four
times around a tank at the Aquarium,
climbing out onto the floor, hanging by
his tail from a chandelier and doing
two or three new tricks with cards. His
tail Is shaped like the end of a spear.
and he. can use 1t for variety of pur-
poses. such as picking up smaller fish
on his way home to dinner or interfering
with the projects Of his personal enemies
Young Mr.. Radiatus is only seven
inches long. but he is very young and
has hopes of growing to more than twice
that size. He has row of spiny thorns
down his back, which make him look
like saw in repose. He is SO fond
of the temperature of the waters Of the
Florida Straits that it was necessary
for the ianitor at the Aquarium to heat
his tank to a temperature of 50 degrees
before he would stay in 1t.

Birds Are Fearless.
As the boat comes to rest in a little

darker than those of the ordinary gull.
Then there were the pelican eggs
larger than goose egg and chalky
white. The eggs of the blue heron, or
crane, are a beautiful blue almost like
those Of the robin. but, of course, much
larger. Those of the cormorant, OF
which We found only a few, as they have
their principal rookeries on another is
land. are white. with tiny freckles OF
rusty brown.
Thousands of young seagulls, looking
almost like young barnyard chicks but
with longer. sharper beaks, scrambled

which looked and acted like SO many
sheep. Great. ungainly bodied, butter
fat. so clumsy that they could scarcely
waddle out of the way. these young birds
fiocked in droves. With their long, vel
low beaks, sharp as sword points, they
would have been able, but for their
ciumsiness and helplessness. to make it
extremely uncomfortable for one But
they are so helpless that they may be
herded together like sheep and driven
at will across the sand and in the sage
brush.
when these ungainly birds are pur
sued they disgorge the contents of their
pouches. 1t has been charged that the
pelican destroys many trout, bass, and
other game fish. but among the thou
sands of dead fish We saw on the island
there We're less than a dozen trout or
bass. The fish We saw were carp, cat
fish. club, and suckers and to find
game fish is worthy of comment.
PeIicans Very Heavy.
THE pelicans are so heavy that they
cannot rise from the ground rntil grown.
The young pelicans, unsteady on their
wings when they first undertake to fly.
afford a novel form of amusement for
visitors. Two men hold the tips of their
wings. while third fills their pouches
with sand.
when released the birds saf with wild
shrieks straight upward. and in attempt
ing to maintain their balance with the
unus,~l load whirl like tumbler pigeons.
They empty the pouches in midair. re-
gain their equilibrium and sail away. The
experience does not injure the birds.
''As the sun nears the western rim OF
the lake an uproar is heard. Far away
to thH northeast specEs are seen in the
air. They are adult pelcans returning
from the mouth OF the Jordan River or
from Bear RIVER, nftN ana seventy miles
distant, laden with fish for tie young.
Their pouches are distended with carp
and other fish. and the young pelicans.
always hungry, set up maddening screams
when they see the old birds approaching.
THE cormorants are numerous on
Bird Island as the gulls and pelicans on
Hat Island. The cormorant is a famous
fisherman, and although he has not a
'gripsack' beneath his bill like the peli-
can, he carries great carp across the
seemingly limitless expanse of brine to
his young. And they. like the young Of
the pelicans, are fat as butter balls"
