its solourn in the latter pscvenfing the
excessive development Of vegetable
spores. The only other condition which
the aquarium keeper has "a consider is
that II evaporation. If left to itself, the
water Of an aquarium obeys the univer-
sal rule Of outdoor nature, and decreases
in bulk through evaporation. Small
quantities of water have, therefore, to be
added to the store, to make good this
no doubt when casually
viewed, but important when regarded as
to its accumulstive effects. Experience
has also taught aquarium-managers
fact which scientific theory itself would
hardly have inculcated, namely, that
is not necessary in great
aqusria for the maintenance of animal
lite, in the face of the constant circula-
ton of the water. The minute invisible
spores or germs, which are invariably
present, perform the functions of the
adult and visible plants, and thus render
needless the cultivation Of the latter,
always troublesome and difficult per-
Torrance.
Much as the aquarium has been appre.
:iated, and boundless as is the delight
which it affords to thousands of holiday
makers, its higher functions have yet to
be fully realized. At Naples, DR.. Antan
D6arn has not only established an aqua
rum and geological station, but has,
along with sooants from other countries,
already made many valuable and origin
II observations on the life-history and
of various marine animals.
The aquarium, while it thus serves to in
crease the higher culture Of the nation At
large, by presenting the people with the
opportunity Of seeing what is good, true,
and beautiful in nature, and to act a.

has also the important mission of afford

The entire subject has high value in i'm
pressing upon the mind not only the fact,
that important results sometimes spring
from the careful study Of . seemingly
triflipg subject, but also that attention to
minor details and to the laws of natural
Ehings constitutes the means which ulti-
mately ensure success in most of our un.
