MARINE HATCHERY A contingent of 50 Training College students visited the marine hatchery at Portobello during the week-end. The visitors were given instruction in regard to identifying the many forms of marine life to be seen, in the tanks. Numerous visitors arrived at the station on Saturday and Sunday, and enjoyed the opportunity given to view the exhibits. An unusual exhibit to be seen in the tanks at present is a small fish known under such names as balloon, mouse, or globe. This fish was very plentiful at one time, but is now a rarity. It is capable of blowing itself up with air until it resembles a balloon or globe, hence its name.
