Show uu OXYGEN TO KEEP FISH ALIVE Method Adopted to Sond Spoclmena From New York to Wealthy German Collector. When tho North Gcrmnn-Lloyd steamship Kalsor Wllholm der Grosso leaves port for Bremen, sixteen her mctlcally sealed Jars, each containing live fish intended for tho private aquarium aqua-rium of Emll Gundlachor, a woalthy resident of Gchlberg, Germany, will repose re-pose on tbo shelves in tho purser's room. It is because of the keen desire de-sire of Kerr Gundlachor to obtain live American fish, which ho has failed to do after several attempts, that the experiment ex-periment of sending them in these sealed Jars (triod once before successfully), suc-cessfully), is to be again essayed. The secret lies In forcing enough oxygen Into tho Jars to keop the flsh alive. The Jais placed on tho Kaiser will each bo half full of water. Aftor tho fish aro placed in the Jars at tho New York Aquarium, ono hour bofore sailing, tho Jlrector of tho aquarium will force enough oxygen Into each jar to last the fish confined In it for twe!tf; days. As the journey from this port to Bromen and then to Gehlberg Is not expected to take moro than eight days all told, the flsh aro expected to be in a lively 'condition when recelvod by Herr Gundlachor. In return he baa promised to send some fine specimens of German fish to tho New York Aquarium. |
