They are paradise fish from Cochin China, and the two adult fish have performed a feat no two fish of the species ever performed before in this country. They have reproduced lit- tle paradise tish, and great is the joy of the fish sharps who visit the place and learn the way the fish build their nests. sharps term the paradise fish macropodus venustus; that is to say, big-footed beauty. It is called a para- jdise fish because of the variety and brilliancy of its colors. It is indige- nous to Cochin China and India, and is about three inches long when full grown. Mr. Samuel, who had the fish sent to New York from Germany, said concerning the paradise fish and its habits: “The head is gray in color, and is mottled with dark spots, and the gills blue, bordered with crimson. The eyes are yellow and red, and the pupil black. The sides of the body are crimson, with ten or twelve vertical blue stripes. The tail is crescent in shape and is crimson, with a blue borde “When the {sh is excited all the col- ors are brilliant. When the male fish is fighting for the possession of a fe- male of the species he extends all his fins and displays their most vivid colors. The tail is covered with small spots, like the eyes on a peacock’s tail, and the under surface of the fish becomes jet black. The colors of the dorsal fin change constantly from green to blue, sometimes showing white spots, and the body trembles perceptibly, ra- diating colors of every hue. “The fish goto the top of the water very often for air. They are exceed- Watton, J x | bas been purchased for $1,900 by «a | ingly inquisitive, and when a person ap- proaches their tank they swim close to the glass and look at him. At times I have noticed them resting on the bottom Missouri parts with | of the tank, supported on the two long, scarlet spines, looking much as a boy does when reclining on his elbows read- “As summer approaches the fish be- come very active and build a nest. The male fights for the possession of the fe- male and the victor betakes himself to &@ corner of the aquarium, where he commences to construct his nest. Tak- ing a position about an inch below the surface of the water he frequently takes air into his mouth and then e: it forcibly in the shape of little bubbles covered with a glutinous substance which prevents them from bursting for several hours. [He continues to make bubbles until he has a little floating platform about six inches in circumfer ence and a quarter of an inch thick. “When the nest is finished the female spproaches and deposits her eggs be- neath the nest. The male gathers the Dr. Miles’ work on Heart Disease, | eggs with his mouth and places them on the bubbly nest. “When all the eggs have been cared for the female again makes her appearance, and the operation {s repeated until about 1,000 eggs are on the nest. The eggs hatch out in about thirty-six hours. The father guards the young very jeal- ously, and will not permit any thing moving to approach near them. He will even fight his mate if she comes close to any of the small ones, although I have never seen her molest them. In this period I have seen the male kill his mate. For the first three days the young fish are kept near the surface, and after that the male disperses them the by puffing at them. If any weak ones sink he gathers them in his mouth and fires them to the surface. As the young increase in size he instructs them how to find food. When they are fiftecn days old they look lilse the adult fish. “They are fed on earthworms and raw beef, and during the cold weather I keep them comfortable by keeping an incandescent sixteen-candle power lamp burning under them day and night. They can not endure a temperature lower than 54 degrees or higher than 95 degrees. Aside from temperature they are very hardy and exceedingly prolific in summer. My pair reached me late in the fall, but by the use of the elec- tric lamp I was enabled to raise the temperature to 80 degrees, and they commenced to build. I raised twenty- four small fish, but the cold weather has since killed some of them. The males are very intelligent, and they can be taught many things, such as ringing a bell when they are hungry by pulling a cord dangling in the water.” The American Cologne Habit. Moral remonstrance is now coming from Paris, rays the New York World about the iniquitous habit of Americans in regard tocologne. We owe this to England.

This was conveyed to the local press as ‘James the First, King of Buffalo,” and Mr. King was besieged as “His Majesty” by suck a shoal of trades- men, beggars and tuft-hunters that he was obliged to leave Carlsbad sovner -- than he had intended. Some of the na- tives even mistook the popular tourist for “Buffalo Bill.”
