ARTIFICIAL COLORING OF FISH

It has been discovered that fishes may be so colored as to suit the human fancy. In Sicily, it is reported, by the introduction into the water of chalk, iron, and a quantity of peat, colors may be imparted to the carp. After treatment in a, bath of these jconcomitants for a couple of weeks the fish is given another chemically prepared bath into which there are introduced iron and tan. By increasing or diminishing the quantities the colour can be either accentuated or diminished. The process is said to be somewhat hazardous, but produces ornamental fish.

About the computer-generated text

Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a process for automatically extracting text from scanned pages. OCR enables searching of large quantities of full-text data, but it is not 100% accurate. The level of accuracy depends on the print quality of the original newspaper and its condition at the time of microfilming. Newspapers with poor quality paper, small print, mixed fonts, multiple column layouts or damaged pages may have poor OCR accuracy.

The page where this item appears has an estimated OCR accuracy of 97.49%.
