Dorit Youtake Browns'lron Brownslron CBittersli Sick Fish. When a fish in an aquarium is ailing or injured, it is put into a reserve tank, out of sight of the visitors, and where it ean be looked after at any time. The circulation of the tank is adjusted with great nicety to give the fish the greatest possible amount of water, and with the constant renewal of water the greatest possible amount of fresh air. A fresh water fish may be treated with salt wa ter baths. The fish is fed on the food best suited to its condition or most like ly to suit its fancy. It may lie on the bottom of the tank motionless for hours, like a sick person in a bed. It may sometimes seem to be dead, but a closer inspection will show a feeble movement of the gill covers, which marks the fish’s respiration. Aft er all, the fish may die; of toner, under treatment, it recovers, and then it goes back to its place in the display tanks.— New York Sun.
