TALK WITH A FISH FARMER. THE UITIQTTE I2TDTJSTKY Or A CIS CZSTXr ATX B'ATTTBAI.XST. An Old-World Cleans of TIoney-TIalc ing That May lie Easily Local- Ized Raising: Gold FlaU. One of the Enquirer writers paid a visit to the fish nursery, and some account of the place and business, as he found it, may not be uninteresting. The ponds lie about two miles west of Spring Grove avenue, near the extreme west end of the cemetery, and are situated in the center of a natural amphitheater, much resemb ling that about the race-track at Latonia. While, of course, smaller than the race track, the ponds are arranged in precisely the same shape, being placed side by eide, and built in the form of a circle, with one large circular pond in the center, so that the stream of water which feeds them runs through every pond in the circuit before it escapes and proceeds on its way to Mill creek. "Yes, sir; I am a fish farmer, if you like to give me that name, although the usual designation for a man in my busi ness is a 'pisciculturist,' " said Mr. Mul ertt, who will be remembered as the ex hibitor of immense aquaria at the late expositions. "See here." lie dipped a long-handled net into the clear water of a pond before him, and after a few quick motions landed high and dripping on the grass a plump two-pound fish. Its color was a very dark gray almost black and the black scales, fringed with white, which covered it, were as large as one's thumb-nail. "That fish is the German mirror carp. It is a fine food fish hardy and a very rapid grower. The government wants to give every man in this country as many of those fish as he will care for, and it has always been a surprise to me that there are comparatively so few ap plicants for them. There is fully two pounds of meat on that fish before us, and I can truthfully say that he has not cost me one cent for food since he was given to me. Unlike other animals, a tish in confinement wilWorage for him self all the year round, if his pond is . properly built and contains a few aquatic plants. "In Europe, one of the most import ant features of a country gentleman's establishment is the fish pond. How many private fish ponds will you find in the suDurbs of Cincinnati? Compara tively few. And yet I do not hesitate to say that nothing is better calculated to give pleasure and profit than a private pond. It may serve the purposes of a Bower bed by being planted with water lilies; it can be boated through in sum mer, and skated upon in winter ; in spring and summer it will afford fresh fish and the sport of catching them; and on the first winter after it is built enough ice may be cut from its surface to pay for the entire cost of keeping it up "for a quarter of a century. "Now, we will replace the carp, and I will show you a gold fish which I have imported especially for the purpose of stocking out-door bodies of water." The gasping fish was slipped gently in to the pond, and the net was lowered among some broad-leaved aquatic plants which completely covered the top of an 'idjoining basin. This time the plunge brought out a brilliant Vermillion crea ture, fully as large as the German carp, but much more active. The quick Bweep of its tale as it left the pond sent the drops of water in a shower for twen ty feet in every direction. " This is a fish," said the exhibitor, " which is little inferior to the trout in gameness as well as on the table; and then notice his brilliant colors. He is called the gold orf e, and is pre-eminently the aristocratic game fish of the world. He i3 to be found in the pond of every German nobleman, and, I must say, is worthy of every honor. . These fish swim m schools near the top of the water, and in consequence are particularly fitted for fountains and ponds. They are perfect ly hardy, may be left in the ponds all winter, and in a couple of years will 3ometimes reach the length of three feet." " What are they " "Hist! Keep perfectly still for one minute. Don t move, please" and .be fore the writer knew what was the mat ter Mr. Mulertt had slipped up the hill to his house and was returning with a twenty-two caliber Flobert rifle, charged and cocked. He pointed the muzzle at the root of a tall clump of pampa grass on the edge of one of the ponds, there came the sharp crack from the exploding cartridge, ana then a small brown water jnake threw himself out of the hole in which he had been hiding, and writhed on the grass in full view. "Snakes areamonjjmy worst enemies." said the shooter, ejecting the shell from his rifle, and coolly replacing it with a , fresh cartridge. There is rarely a day passes that I do not shoot one or more of them. Turtles and muskrats are also great pests. "With this rifle I shot no less than fifty blue herons on this pond last year, some of them standing four and five feet high, and as for cranes, king-fishers, frogs, crawfish and newts, they make my life a burden. The snake is in the habit of lying hidden from view. with only head exposed, and playing his tongue into the water. The young fi?h imagine the tongue to do a worm, or something suitable for their dinner; but they no sooner approach it than the snake seizes them, and instead of eating they we eaten. "The craw-fish do very little damage in the way of catching fish; but their nature prompts them ' to undermine the walls of the ponds, and so keep me busy repairing their ravages. With their claw, too, they very often tear away rmrt ol tne nn or tau 01 a vaiuaDie goiansn, thus giving it a ragged appearance which reduces its value. "Common geese, ducks and swans, when they have access to a fish pond, will do great damage by devouring the eggs and young fish." ' Animal Life In Japan. Professor Rein, a German scientist and traveler, says that Japan has at least fifty species of mammals, including apes, bears, dogs, martins, badgers, foxes, mice and rats, hare3, boars and deer. The last are exceedingly numerous. In the winter of 1874-5 30,000 deer were killed on the plains of Hidaka, in south east Yezo. Cows are used not for their milk, but for draught and burden. Other domestic animals are little horses, dwarf dogs, stunted-tailed cats, rabbits, pigs and various fowls. There are at least 350 species of birds, most of which agree with those of Eu rope.! The tops of houses form resting and roosting places for sparrows, ravens and kites, which act as scavengers. There are many fine singing birds. Pheasants abound, and a hunter can bag a dozen head in a few hours in the reed beds and paddy fields. Swimming birds, of course, are most numerous. They rise by the ten thousand at the sound of a pistol along the bay of Sendal. Even in the heart of Tokio wild ducks and geese are 'found in flocks. Reptiles and batrachians are not numer ous. They have three turtles and four sea-snakes. The fresh water tortoise so frequently represented in bronze is the symbol of long Jife and happiness. In the temple tanks protected by the priests, are to be found many a Methuseleh of this horny-backed race. There are only eight snakes. The Japanese have no re spect for the harmless kind, but they en trap the poisonous mamushi, skin it, cook it, and eat it as a nerve food. They use mountain-newts, boiled and dried, as a remedy for consumption and worms. Among the curious animals is the giant salamander, which reaches a length of 150 centimetres. It is rapidly dying on. Fish, too, are exceedingly numerous, and form a staple article of food. liundxeas of thousands of the inhabitants are en gaged in fishing and yet there is no dim inution in numbers. Cannibalistic fish, like the pickerel, are not found. There are now 600 species known and the list is by no means yet full. Professor Rein himself collected 152 species of beetles. Fleas and musquitos are prevalent, but the ferocious civilized cimex lectularius has not followed trade and the mission aries into the Islands of the Hesperides. The waters abound in crabs, but there are, as yet, no lobsters. The latest scien tific works enumerate 1,200 species of molluska. One kind of shell was used by the Japanese as a signal horn. In blowing them not was indicated, by one blast, fire by two blasts, robbery by three, treachery by four. A boaster was said to blow the Triton's horn. A Living Light. . 'Come into my sanctum," said a natur alist to a Cincinnati Enquirer writer, 'and I'll show you something odd." Accepting the invitation, the writer soon found himself in a cozy library filled with books and the various adjuncts of the professional naturalist. The owner carefully closed the blinds and shutters of the window and turned out the gas. leaving the room in total darkness; only for a moment, however, for directly over the writer's head began to gleam a soft rich light or lights that darted about, now blazing out into exceeding bright ness or anon dying away, but in the main emitting a glow sumcient to . read the heading of an Enquirer column with per fect ease. "New electric light?" suggested the writer. "nardly," was the reply. "It would be difficult to get a patent on this ; no one could describe how it is done. In fact," continued the naturalist, stirring up the lights, making them blaze again, "you have been reading the Enquirer by a living light; in short, the light of a beetle. They are the luminous beetles of the tropics. I have just returned from Bahama, and brought two or three hundred with me to see if I could keep them; and adopting the method of my host in the south, I put them all in this small silver basket, and, as you see, if we were entirely deprived of other light we might get along very well with this." Farming in Itoumania. Seventy per cent, of the inhabitants ol Roumania are engaged in agricultural pursuits, the principal productions and exports being wheat, Indian corn, and other cereals, oil seeds, and wine. To bacco is largely grown for native con sumption. Timber is not exported to the same extent as the thick ancient forests still extant in some portion of the country would lead one to suppose, but the reason of this is the primitive condition of the roads in the best-wooded districts and the absence of navigable rivers on which rafts could be floated. Cattle, hogs, fruit, hiies, vegetables, wool, and some ordinary productions of the dairy are all exported either in smaller quantities or under less advantageous conditions than would be the case were more care and attention paid to improved modes of farming and breed ing. The country is almost entirely de pendent on foreign trade for all kinds of commodities, there existing no native manufactures of any importance. A lady writes to the New York Sun this' sure cure for snoring: "A remedy for snoring, and I have had a better half who was greatly affected that way, is to let the person so afflicted before going to bed drink a cup of strong coffee, without milk or sugar in it, and lie on their right side." It is a fact, perhaps rarely known, that three Bangors Bangor, Me., Bangor) Northampton county, Penn., and Bangor in "Wales are the three leading slate marts of the world. LONG SUFFERING From Stone In the Kidney of one of Troy's Best Citizens-Ills Recovery through the nse of Dr. Dartd Kennedy's Favorite Remedy (of Rondont, N.
