the most popular of the freak fish. was
undergoing the process Of being eaten
by the big cusk and the two cells which
at that time occupied the same tank.
The cusk had evidently caught the al
bino and being unable to swallow 1t
quickly, the cells had taken hold and
were getting their share.
One Of the g. or s-inch white perch
in another tank was missing last Mon
day and no trace OF It could be found
nor any explanation Of its whereabouts
be discovered. Careful watch and
search was made, but it was by acct
pickerel living in that tank. a two
pound chap. was carrying some great
ly distended sides. The mystery was
solved, for it was. found that Mr.. Pick
erel, becoming hungry for perch. had
quietly tackled the perch and swal-
lowed It, He was pretty lazy Wednes-
day and the shape OF the perch could
still be seen on his sides Curator
James remarked that il he wanted
anything more to eat for the next fort
night, he couldn't have 1t.
These are not all Of the cannibalistic
tendencies shown in the tanks. One OF
the exhibits since last December has
been a lot Of year-old trout and SAL
mon which have been growing up to-
gether in apparent peace and happi-
ness The trout through the cold wealth
er grew much the faster, but 1t was
expected that with the coming OF the
warm summer weather the salmon
would pick up and overtake the trout.
This did not work out as was expect
ed, however, and the trout continued
to outstrip the salmon, until they be-
came considerably larger. That was all
right and the family was much admir-
ed as one Of the happiest in the muse
UNI.
Mr.. James about two weeks ago on
entering the museum had his attention
attracted to the peculiar appearance OF
some Of the trout and found that no
less than three Of them Rad. the tall OF
a salmon protruding from thelf
mouths. The trout and the salmon were

doubtedly stolen from them during the
summer by the larger and stronger
trout. The trout, which have three OF
the large albino salmon for companions
are now in the No. l tank and make
one Of the finest exhibits In the aqua
rum.
curator James Is at work tust now or
the new case Of Maine birds. which rs
sure to be the finest bird case IN the hu
scum. 1t will show the native birds OF
the Pine Tree State as we'll as their nat
nral feed. The amount Of work ALREADY
done gives a faint outline of what may
he expected and it will surely be well
worth seeing affair.
