WHEN GOLDFISH FEEL LONELY. If one were to place a mirror in a tank which contains just one fish, he would probably come to the conclusion that the creature is exceedingly vain, for it seems to spend a great deal of time admiring its own reflection. But the fish is not. admiring itself. What, it really wants to do is to go for a swim with the mate it sees in the looking-glass. It is feeling lonely. , . , , An experimenter has been trying look-ing-glass experiments with fish of various kinds, and lie says lie finds that they are first attracted by a mirror and then show signs of considerable annoyance. They begin by making overtures to the reflection, swimming to and fro across the glass side wi'lh the image. Then they try to go through the glass in order to get closer to the other fish. Finding that the other follow will not respond, they show signs of nnger. swimming rapidly up and down and making little snaps of annoyance.
