The'visitor to Armory Station may see plainly the whole process frem the depositing of the spawn, or egg, in the glass Jar or tank. according to the species, to the full development, the gradual evolution from the germ to the complete organiam and life. It is known that in the regular workings of nature many billions of fish are annually lost by the destruction in onr streams, in various ways, of the egg after it is Aeposited. To obviate this, and to actually improve on Nature has been the colonel’s object, and thathe has succeeded there is no manner of doubt; his invention. the ‘Automatic Fish Hatching Jar,” an instrument which hehas himself devised, and put into operation, each of which, although containing not more than « gallon of water, has a producing capacity of from se enty to eighty thousand fish, clearly proves this. Thou- sands of German carp and California and English sal- mon ate shipped daily in patent tin fieh cases to all parts of the country. Under the new process in yorue at the station the eggs are deposited in the jar and the vessel tightly corked; two glass tubes ranging from 14 to 18 inchea in length are introduced into the jars, through the corks; the main tube is attached toa water Pipe, furnished with s regulation flow, and so inserted as to distribute the water from the bottom of the Jar: the other tube is connected with an adjoining jar by a Fubber hose about half inch in diameter, ‘which pesees off the surplus water and the dead eggs. ‘Tho gravity of the living eggs. or rather the eggs con- taining the embryo Re eine Oa at the One Case NAINSOOK PLAID, 2250.
