Fresh and Salt Water Collections OF
Fine Specimens That Attract
Thousands of Visitors DaiIy-CurI-

There Is much of interest in the sem
building, but where only small Ter
centage of visitors may be attracted
by any one court the attention of every
one that strolls into the aquarium is
riyeted on each tank before which The
spectator passes as he makes the grand
rounds. The honest farmer is perhaps
the most enraptured of oil visitors.
He sees for the first time in his life
living specimens of rare and curious
fish, with whose characteristics he is
somewhat familiar from long porting
over his natural history book, with its
colored plates, bought from the young
college student the time he sold NJ ria's
pigs. He rather fancies himself, as
he peers into the depths of each COM
partment and when he oyerhears citi-
fled chap telling his best girl that pick
erel and pike are one and the same
thing it is all he can do to restrain
himself from pointing out the differ
ence.
Naturally enough, people from the in

which they have never before had Cp-
portunity to study except through the

BACTERIA and Tobacco.

1t would hardly be. imagined that
there was much connection between
bacteria and tobacco, but the progress
in the science of bacteriology, which
is now making such rapid strides, has
shown that such is the case Although
some bacteria are so deadly, others are
ffi93pglRa44 f9 be Of the the greatest possible
service to mankind. It has discovered
that these MINUTE organisms play an
important part IN determining the quail
ity of tobacco. The leaves of the to-
bacco plant, before they are worked
up into cigars and finally handed over
to the public, undergo certain fermen-
tative changes. 1t was formerly sup
posed that the alteration in their con-
dition thus brought about was due to
purely chemical changes, but some ex-
periments recently made go to show
that these important results are
brought about by special micro-organ-
isms. In a paper read before the Ger
man Botanical Society Suchland gives
an account of his investigations on the
bacteria found in different kinds of to-
pasco. He has examined fermented
tobaecos ftom' all parts Of the world,
and found that they contain plenty of
micr0- organisms, although but few va
rieties, as q Fule, but two or three diff
fefent species in any particular brand,
and but rarely micpococcns form, He
finds that pure cultures of bacteria OBJ

oeuiated onto another kind generated

tobacco from which tho bacteria had

This discovery suggests great POSSIBLE
tiles Thus, 1t is limited that In future
it may be possible to raise the quality
Of German tobacco, not SO much by
careful culture and iudlcious selection
of varieties. which has so far proved
comparatively unsuccessful, as by In
oculatlng with pure cultures Of bacteria
found In some OF the fine foreign to-
baccos, whereby corresponding fermen-
tative changes may be induced IN the
German raw material, and the quality
improved accordingly. 1t will be high

DEATH ON MICE AND SNAKES
How ArmadiIlOs and IguanNs Secure
and Destroy Their Prey.

The armadillo, as eccentric in his habits
as in his appearance, does the duty of the
domestic cat among the field mice, Which
are terribly destructive, says an article Ill
the Edinburgh Review. NOraciouS in his
appetite, he is sedentary by inclination, but
he can find his game with very little trou-
BILE. Mice are always more or less abund-
ant, though periodically and almost punctu-
ally their numbers decline, but in certain
years they positively swarm. Then the dogs

friend of Mr.. Hudson witnessed one or these
encounters. The armadillO rushed upon

the snake was cut up into sections under the

Another inveteratc enemy of the snakes is

iguana lying apparently asleep in the sun,

Mnter for Fnrm Horses.

1t would be all the better for any farm
horse if he could be given water at some
time between morning and noon and noon
and night. There seems to be a variety
of opinion touching this point. 1t is al
most a universal practice to give farm
horses water but three times day
morning, noon and night. There seems
to be no better reason for this than that
it is convenient to do so, and that it
would be incOnvenient to do otherwise as
a rule. All agree that the horse ought to
have what water he needs rather than
what he wants. If left to go thirsty y
half day after eating heating food at
hard work there is no limit to the amount
of water he wants, except what be will
hold, when he reaches the trough. 70 fill
mp on cold water when the animal is III
q heated condition is one of the most
damaging things that can be done Il
horse. and yet because it happens to be
convenient to let him do this, the practice
has come into vogue. Most farmers
could find q way to remedy the matter if
they would, and il would be humane for
them to do so, and profitable, likewise.

water fish from a 9S-pound cat down
to one-tnch recently Matched trout.
The edge of he basin Is q favorite
seat for visitors, and at all times Of
the day whole families may be seen
resting contentedly on the cement ram
part. Occasionally an over enthusiasts
tic c0untrymdn, leaning too far over to
watch the specimens, will lose his bal
anoe and fall heIdlong into the water,
to be hauled out dripping and detected
by the ever-vigilant guard.
IT is estimated that the fresh water
varieties of fish exhibited in the aqua
rum cost $4,000 to place in their pres
ent quarters ready for the public,
while the salt water section probably
cost fully half that amount. The gem
eral verdict is that the money was
wisely expended, conclusion in which
all those who visit the exhibit will be
inclined to concur. To DR. s. T. Bart
lett, of Quincy, ILL.,, agent for the Unit
ed States fish commission much of the
credit is due for the very fine collection
housed in the aquarium. He has work
cd early and late in contributing to
the success of the exhibit and is de-
serving of all praise. Some one once
told the good doctors wife that fish
crank was one part d fool and three
parts enthusiast upon which Mrs
Bartlett unthinkinglF remarked, Poor,
dear doctor!''
The Doctor and His Patients.
But no one need waste sympathy on
this fish enthusiast for he loves his
work and lives for it. To see him in
bis hospital administering squills to a
sick trout OF p0ulticing the snout of
q pike would convince the most skep-
teal of the truth of the above state
ment. Visitors to the aquarium may
scoff at the idea of a hospital in con-
nection with the exhibit but there is
one, nevertheless. The greatest enemy
to fish is fungus, and this disease must
pc fought constantly. Those who have
noted the yellow, fluffy substance adj
herring to the fins of the catfish and the
snout of pike may get an idea of what
fungus is like. The disease is oonta-
gious, as with SMALLPOX, and only the
most persistent measures win eradicate
the evil. The doctors favorite remedy
is to battle where they could be seen
every evening. Or cleanse the afflicted
parts with caFbolic acid, a mode of
treatment that has proved most effic;l

which they are very fond. 1t was in
terpsting to see a crab seize the meat
with its long, right claw, and then,
picking off tiny morsels with its left,
or smaller claw, convey the food to
its mouth much as a human being
might. Feeding at the tanks Is most
interesting process and one that every
visitor to the aquarium should try to
see. ...
