Gold Fish.

The little ld-fashioned "globes"
for gold fish are disappearing, and so
are the tanks made of window glass
cemented into a zinc or iron frame.
The modern aquarium is cubical in
form, and is made of a single piece of
glass, without joints or metal work,
and holds from two to four gallons,
with about one fish to each half gai-
Ion. The bottom is covered with
pebbles and sand TO q depth of an
inch and half, and in it are rooted
water plants that not only add TO the
beauty of the aquarium, but absorb
impurities and keep the water clear.
If plants enough are used it is sufli-
Gent to add cupful of water once ii
week to replace what has evaporatcd,
If there are not plants enough the fish
will stay at the surface and gasp until
the wafer is changed In marine
aquaria algB are used, and anemoncs
and other beautiful forms of sea life
thrive. They are as easy to maintain
as fresh water aquaria, because as salt
does not evaporate, they only need
occasional additions of fresh water

Star Stones.

The asterias or star stones are
among the most wonderful produc-
tons of the mineral kingdom. They
are conundrums, the star sapphire be-
ing a grayish blue, the star ruby
bright red, the star topaz straw
yellow. The star appearance in the
stone is caused, according to some
anineralogists, by foreign substance
in the gem; others say it is due to
peculiarities of crystallization. What
ever it may be, advantage is taken of
it by the lapidary, who cuts the stone
in the shape of dome, beginning at
the center of the star and making the
points radiate to the circumference.
The stone has six points, and as the
light plays on the surface of the stone
the bright lines of the star change
with the position of the gem, and
produce singularly beautiful effect.

Filibuster, freebooter and luccaneef
are words curiously nterrelated The
French ana the English sea adventures
once made common cause against Span
Ish settlements in the new world, and
all three OF these words came in time
to describe the rude sea soldiers who
despoile the Spanish main and the
towns upon the coast of the Spanish
possessions. Filibuster is said TO be
the result of an attempt to make a
French word of freebooter, and the
English borrowed it back from the
French because it sounded less frankly
brutal than the English word. Buc-
cancer was originally French in form,
and it meant at first one who hunted
the boucan or wild cattle and hogs Of
the West Indies; then one who made
jerzed meat of their flesh and finally.

One of the largest and most re.
markable shaped nuggets ever found
was discovered in an Australian mine
in 1887. 1t was fiat and almost the
exact counterpart in contour of a
colossal human hand held open, with
the exception of the thumb and fore.
finger, which were closed together in
a manner so as to make it appear
that the thumb was holding the fin.
ger in place. Its greatest length was
twelve and a half inches. 1t was OF
the very purest gold, with but a lit.
tie of foreign substances adhering
mostly between the "flngers"), and
weighed six hundred and seventeen
ounces. The famous LADY Brassey'
nugget, also found in Australia,
weighed fifty-one pounds of pure
gold worth 1925 per pound. In 1891
a nugget Of fifteen pounds weight,
shaped exactly like a cross, with the
exception of the right arm, was dis
covered in the Buriss mine near the
same place.
