Race Changes.

Professor George Barbour, in his work
on the resources of Florida, describes
the strange race of bipeds which isola-
ton and abnormal climatic influences
have developed on the border of the
tropics, in the next neighborhood of en-
terprising Yankee-hke communities.
But it is not possible that those COM
munities, too, will by and by experience
the influence of winterless climatel
Thus far their energy has been sustained
by constant influx of Northern immi-
grants, but that influx will cease after
the population of the North and South
has reached the equilibrium of its DIS
tribution, and the "crackern of the hum
mocks will then come to form the type
of a new race. Strange metamOrphoses
have happened in Southern Europe, and
only tho incontrovertible testimony of
historical records can persuade an eth.
nolOgist to recognize the present in
habitants of Sicily as the direct descend

A TWILIGHT STORY.


-Auntie, will you tell storyg said my little
niece of three,
As the early winter twilight fell around us
silently,
So answered TO her pleading: "Once, when
was very small,
With my papa and my mamma went out to
make CALI
And a lady, pleased to see us, gave me quite
large bouquet,
Which carried homeward proudly, smiling
all along the way.
'Soon met two other children, clad in rags
and sad Of face
Who grew strangely, wildly joyous as l
neared their standing-place.
Twas so good to see the flowers Give us
one-oh, oner they cried.
But passed them without speaking; left
them with their wish denied.
Yet the mern'ry of their asking haunted me
by night and day.
Give us oner 1 heard them saying, even In
my mirthful play.
"stin mourn, because in childhood 1 re-
fused to give flower;
Did not make those others happy when lhad
it in my power"
Suddenly ceased my story. Tears were In
my nieces eyes
Tears of tenderness and pity-while she
planned a sweet surprise:
II will send a flower tomorrow to those little
children dear"
Could tell her that their childhood had
been gone this many year?

Invention of Poplin.

The original invention in poplin is
claimed by Ayignon, France, once a
Papal See, on which account it was
called papaline, in compliment of the
reigning Pope, at which time (the
fifteenth century, this rich material was
produced to supply the gorgeous
ecclesiastical vestments and hangings in
use. The industry was introduced into
Dublin by French immigrants, refugees,
at the time Of the revocation OF the
Edict Of Nantes, who settled in that
part of the Irish capital called the
CELEBRITIES. The La Touche family
established the first organized manuiac-
tory there, which commenced operations
n 1858.

times, and enough to reach more than two

our fastest express train six months to run

The New York Mail and Erpress al

at tho Worlds Far.
Plans for tho Grcatcss Aquarium Ever
Constructed-A Display heretofore
Unrivaied In tho
World.

The fish exhibit at the Worlds Column
ban exhibition is to be wonderful one,
ana not the least interesting portion of
1t, naturally, will be the aqunrial or live
fish display. This will be contained in
circular building 1873 feet in diameter.
standing nea- one extremity of the main
fisheries building, and i'll great curved
corridor connecting the two.
In the center of the circular building
will be II rotunda Co feet in diameter.
i'll the middle of which will be II basin
or pool about 2G feet wide from which
will arise towering mass of rocks COW
cred with moss and lichcns. from
clefts and crevices in the rocks crystal
streams OF water will gush and drop to
the masses of reeds, rushcs and orna-
mental semi-aquatic plants in the basin
below. In this pool gorgeous gold
fishes, golden idcs, golden tcnch ana
other fishes will disport From the ro-
tunda one side of the larger series of
aquaria may be viewed. These will be
ten in number and will have q capacity
of 1000 to $1,000 gallons of water.
Passing out of the rotunda by the en-
frances great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be
viewed the opposite side of the series of
great tanks and on the other u line of
tanks somewhat smaller, ranging from
750 to 1,5oO gallons each in capacity.
The corridor or gallery is about fifteen
feet wide. The entire length of the
glass fronts of the aquaria will be about
face. They will make panorama
Inf
and will rival the great permanent
aquariums of the world not only in size
but in all other respects.
The total water capacity of the
aquaria, exclusive of reservoirs, will be
1928 cubic feet, or 10000 gallons.
This will weigh 1 1872, 425 pounds, or al
most GOO tons. OF this amount about
10000 gallons will be devoted to the
marine exhibit. In the entire salt
water circulation, including reservoirs.
there will be about so, 900 gallons. The
pumping and distributing plant for the
marine aQuaria will be constructed of
vulcanite. The pumps will be in dupli-
cate and will each have n capacity of
5000 gallons per hour. The supply of
sea water will be secured by evaporat-
ing the necessary quantity at the
Woods hall station of the United States
fish commission to about onc-fifth it's
bulk, thus reducing both quantity and
weight for transportation about so per
cent. The fresh water required to re-
store it TO its proper density will be
supplied from Lake Michigan. In
transporting the marine fishes to Chi
cago from the coast there will also be
an additi on of probably 5000 gallons of
pure sea water to the supply on each
trip.
