A Great Acquisition.
st. Paul, April 3, 1889.

An earnest effort is being made to re-estab-
lish the Academy of Sciences, and within
the past six weeks great deal of good work
has been accomplished, but yesterday
movement was made by some of the
friends of the academy which infuse it
with new life, as it will soon enable the
society to offer something to attract the
attention of the public in general. The
interesting subject referred to is the long
contemplated purchase of the magnificent
collection of marine curiosities known as
the Engelhardt collection. This superb
collection contains a large number of
specimens of rare and remarkable crea-
lions found in the great seas and many of
these are said to be without duplicates,
while others are of extraordinary size, and
all of them are most artistically preserved.
Some OF our great hearted citizens
have taken this matter in hand and are
about to purchase the collection for the
Academy of Science as a nucleus for mu-
scum, which will command attention.
Commodore Kittson, with his well known
lberality fin every movement which en-
hances the interest and welfare of ST. Paul,
was as usual the first to respond with
generous subscription, and several of our
other public spirited citizens have pledged
themselves to do likewise, which now as
sures to US the possession of collection
of marine wonders. The value of this &C.
QUESTION will be fully appreciated when
our children are made acquainted, through
Col. E. Daniels, with the origin and pc
culiar habits of these denizens of the deep
of which so little is known. This collec-
,hroa H., e L.
sters which subsist chiefly on human flesh,
and some are representatives of species
which are nearly extinct and therefore al
most priceless as objects of interest to the
sight seer, but especially valuable to science
as the means to illustrate the wondars of
creation of which so little is known, except
from ordinary description and more or
less imperfect illustrations. The possess
ion of this rare and most valuable collec-
ton will be a matter of pride, and another
proof of the unlimited hberality on the
part of the well-to-do and intelligent men
of the model city of the Northwest.
