Tame Blackfish

The blackfish iu nature ia shy, but in captivity, witb kindness, it is èasily tauied. In one of the pools of the city's aquarium at Cautie Garden there are a ntunber of blackiish, ineluding some 15 inches and weighiug two pounds, that will take food, live killies, or minnows, froin the band. The killie is held just uuder the top of the water and the blackfish come, up and takes it, some nioviug a little warily as though investigating first ao as to niake sure that it was all right, and others coming up with oonfldence, takiug the flsh froin the fingers aud swallowTng it with asruack. Sometiiues a niiunow esoapes froni the lingers or from the tisli that is trying to take it and darts away tor safety, witli two or threo bhickilsh, sometirues morí;, after it. The little ïuinnow sticks close to the edge of the pooi and to the surfaco of thu water. It is thus proteoted on ouo gitle by the wall of tbe pool, and at tho surface it eau uwiiu taster than ita pniKners, and being so inuch smaller it can turn niuoli quicker than the blackiish. Ir luay go half the length of the pou), bnggiug the wall, and then dart aorosa the pool at ïight angles, with the big blackfleh still after it. So long as the miunow keops to the top it is safe, but if it goes to the bottoni the chances are greatly aguinst it. In deeper water the bigger fish eau do better than the smaller iish. Weakfish sometiroea heoorue very tame in captivity. Ouehas been knowu to lift ita head tour inchca out of water to seizo a live killie held in the hand. - New York 8uu.
