transport of fish has always been a dificult problem.

After careful study and many experi ments, Germans 'experts have, at last, discovered a method of keeping fish alive for a considerable period out of water, and the problem of the cheap transport, of live fish ta within sight of solution. Starting from the observation that most fish remain alive for some time after being, say taking from the water, the exparts made a thorough investigation of the capabilities of their respiratory organs. They ascertained that the fish remains alive in the Airao long saita gills are damp that is to say, it obtains Oxygen from the air throught the medium of the water spread over the fine membisus of the gül. The, nay invention, merely exploits this direumalanoo. It consists of a wooden box, In' which are a number of compartments corresponding with the size

of the Gah: On the Roộr of the compart- ment is a layer, half an inch deep, of cloths saturated with water which, by its evapora.. tlon, keeps the atmosphere moist. The Gish gille are thus kept anffolently damp and the oxygen is supplied to them in a pots-

tato from a holder outside the box.
