A ASCINA TING EXHIBIT.

In no structure within the grounds
is the outward expression so sympa-
thetically reflective ofits architectural
purpose as in the Fisheries Building.
Itself reflected in the blue lagoon, in
its architectural functions and sculp-
tual ornament it in turn reflects the
lacustrine life of the waters, which
not only almost lave its foundation
walls, but actually pour into its in
terror in fountain and cascade and
gigantic aquaria. As we follow
around these green translucent walls
within, our passage lit only from the
ditfused light transmitted from above
the water, we can almost fancy our
selves walking on the actual river
bed, ogled by familiar forms of sun
hsh, perch or pickerel; or perhaps
wandering as in dream among fair
ocean caves abloom with brilliant
sea-anemones, and embowered with
mimic groves of branching corals
and all manner of softly swaying sea
weed-graceful crimson laminaria
reaching to the surface of the water,
responding in serpentine grace to the
soft invasion Of waving fin. Rare
living gems of fishes, very butterflies
of the deep, float past flashing in
iridescence with every subtitle turn of
their painted bodies. Star-hsh, at
first apparently stationary as though
in midwater, glide across the Elusive
plane of glass, with their thousand
iringy disks of feet. Strange crabs
and mollusks and bivalves sport on
the pebbly bottoms, and portentous
monsters, with great gaping mouths,
threaten us as they emerge from
their nebulous obscurity and steal to
within a few inches of our faces

Many people who ordinarily speak
their mother-tongue correctly are at

ing" If speaking of two persons,
YOU will hear that Ruby has in
yited John and l to supper" or,
Lawrence is going to Chicago with
Mildred and l." The placing Of
another name before the conjunction
blinds them to the awkardness of
setting in the objective case.
The word nice is frequently mis-
used, and taken from its significance
of neat, delicate, dainty, to stand for
agreeable, charming, or virtuous.
