l The AgsreKsire and Iridescent Pln
; ; Icat of Siaiu.
I So aggressive is the plakat, a little
fish from Siain. that the entertainment
it affords has become a national pas
time. The fishes are trained to go
through regular battles and are reared
artificially for the purpose, while the
license to exhibit them to the general
public is farmed out and brings a large
amount of money Into the royal coffers.
They are kept in aquariums built for
the purpose and fed upon the larvae of
mosquitoes and ; every possible care
taken of them. When the fish Is in a
quiet state, with the fins at rest, the
dull colors are not at all remarkable.
But if two are brought together or
within sight of each other, or even if
one sees its own image in a looking
glass, the little creature becomes sud
denly excited.
The fins are raised, and the whole
body shines with metallic luster and
colors of dazzling beauty, while tht
protecting gill membrane, waving like
a black frill round the throat makes
grotesque the general appearance. In
this state of irritation it makes repeat
ed darts at' its real or reflected antago
nist, i If two are placed together in
a tank they rush at each other with the
utmost fury. The battle is kept on un
til one Is killed or put to flight, but not
until they are entirely separated does
the victor shut his gaudy fins, that, like
flags of war. are never lowered until
peace has been declared.

tMrlo Paradox Abont Hands.
It is a curious paradox that, as a
rule, the large handed man loves small
things, details, exquisitely finished ob
jects and Is microscopic In his tenden
cies, while, he whose hands are small
delights in colossi of every sort, los
ing ostentation and display, immense
houses, majestic estates and all else
that Is upon a great scale. His hand
writing is large and perhaps full of
flourishes, while that of the large hand
ed man is small and precise.
