A Newly Patented Mode of Preserv ing: lave Pisu. An interesting and curious in- volition has been lately patented , which bids fair to be useful and important in the transportation of live fish. It vas discovered by Mr. "Walter G. Murphy, of New York cit', the patentee, that fish could be kept alive for some con siderable time without change of air or water by placing them in a receptacle partly filled with water, and hermetically sealing the same. To test the invention, experiments were carried on, some of them by the favor of Professor Blackford, of the New York fish commission, at Fulton Market, New York city, lu order to make the test as thor oughly as possible, young fish and fish as delicate as could be ob tained were used. These were striped bass. The latter to the number of about two dozen were placed in a glass jar, filled nearly to the top with water, and the jar was hermetically sealed. The fish were kept for sever.il weeks in the jar without opening it, and did not appreciabhy suffer. Upon open ing the jar and placing them in fresh water, they appeared as live ly and well as before being placed in the jar. Another similar ex periment being made, it was found after several weeks' confinement, the time being extended beyond that of the former experiment, that the deep black lines in the bass began to fade and disappear and a white fungus made its ap pearance on the fish, which was speedily followed by their death. Experiment with the jar wholly filled with water showed that the fish quickly died. Another expe riment with the fish as in the first mentioned case was made, and a second jar the same as the first, with a like number of fish, and similarly filled with water, was placed beside the sealed jar. The second jar was left uncovered and the water was unchanged. The fish in the closed jar were ap parently as well as ever at the end of three weeks. The fish in the open jar all died within forty-eight hours. While changes of temperature were known to be a serious question as affecting the conditions of keeping fish alive, and while the ceanges of heat and THIS ! ! LOWER BECK cold, to which the jar and contents were unavoidably subjected, could. i!ir. hr wIl vifnlitnrl vnt Mi ficl :n ih(y ,,, worr. nnt pfrppfofi thereby. Experiments ivere also tried in which the air intheiar containing the water and fish was compressed, and was found that the fish wen benefited thereby. It would appear from the above -mentioned experiments that growa fish and hardy fish could be trans ported from one distant locality to another with little trouble and ex pense, and that in the case of deep sea fish compression of the air would aid in cliecting the result. The advantage to sports men in carrying live bait would seem to be ireat, and the value to the U.S. fish commission to be ines timable almost, in view of the great expense now incurred in building special cars and apparatus to transport and keep fish alive. The scientific reason for the result of this invention has not been ex plained. The late Professor Baird of the United States fish commis sion, when the invention was brought to iiis attention, suggested that by reason of hermetically seal ing the jar, water did not undergo the rapid change that took place when the jar was left open, and which bred a parasite which de stroyed the fish. "Whatever be tiie reason, it would seem that the in vention is one of great benefit and value, and that the fish so treated will eventually die if not taken out after a certain time, yet practic ally, for the purpose of transport ing fish alive, the result attained is a complete success.
