AN EMBARRASSING SITUATION.

This was an order that could be disobeyed
only at the expense Of his commission. Com
pliance with it was attended. however. by
serious embarrassment to the interests of the
Colombian government. The Colombian build
ing was not finished and its exhibit was not in
order. He came at once to Washington and
presented the case to the Secretary. He is still
under contract with the Colombian govern
ment and the contract has the sanction of Con-
gress.
He wants to fulfill his obligations, If possible,
out Is not quite prepared to surrender his COM
mission. The Colombian minister has inter-
esteu himself In the case and has made a special
appeal to Secretary Lamont that Lieut.. Lemly
De allowed to serve out his contract with the
Colombian government
1t Is not known what Secretary Lamont will
do In the matter, but it is reasonably sure that
decision adverse to Lieut.. Lemly will result
In his relinquishing his commission in the
United States army. This could hardly be re-
garded as sacrifice on his part when it is
known that the Colombian government stands
ready to give him commission as major
general In its army with an annual salary Of
Sf.oOO. His pay in the United States army is
less than 81, 600 year.
The policy Of Secretary Lamont with respect
to this general question will be similar to that
adopted for the navy by Secretary Herbert.
Ibis means that hereafter no officer will be
granted leave of absence in order that he may
ente, private employment. and that leaves of
this kind now existing will be revoked.
1t Is understood that Lieut. Lemlv's leave
was revoked with the full concurrence Of the
secretary OF State. who. in view OF Lemly's en-
ployment by foreign government, would nat
uraily be consulted in the matter.

Salt Water for Marine Aquaria.

From the American Angler.
The original supply Of salt water was brought
from Chesapeake bay, and from time to time,
when the commissions steamer, the Fish
Hawk, returns to Washington an additional
supply is obtained. This however. does not
supply all loss from various causes, and artif-
cial sea water has sometimes been used This
has been made by using a salt produced by
evaporating sea water.
The usual method of preparing artificial sea
water for the aquarium is bv use Of one Of the
many formulas provided for the purpose In
the present case Turks Island salt is used
The writer has used this salt for preparing salt
water for small saltwater aquaria with perfect
success, and it has proven satisfactory in the
present case. There in the beginning
some principle, apparently mildly acrid or as
tringent, affecting more or less unfavorably all
OF the lower forms Of life, while it had but lit
tie noticeable effect on the fishes. Fishes hav-
ing Shiny. mucous coating, such as the toad
fish. appeared to lose 1t. and the skin became
shriveled in appearance, but their general
health seemed unaffected.
1t appeared probable that as there is q con-
siderable precipitate of lime from this salt in
solution, some Of it may have remained in sus-
pension for a long time, owing to the activity
Of tho circulation. 1t was noticed at least
that, in the same water which Is quiet and has
stood for some time. the low forms of life kept
In much better condition, but. without some
form OF aeration, the amount of life SO kept
must be very limited. The result was all the
more puzzling because of the fact that some
fish usually very difficult to keep lived remark
ably well. Among these the gizzard shad,
transferred from fresh water. 1t was finally
found to be necessary to exercise more care in
, introducing the water into the reservoir. so rs
to avoid stirring up the precipitate of lime
formed at the bottom of the vessel in which
the solution was made. After this precaution
was taken, the disturbing effect disappeared.

The Church Ne,rs, the Catholic weekly pub
lished in this city, in speaking of the proposed
new St. Matthew'S Church building. which is
to be erected on Rhode Island avenue between
Connecticut avenue and 18th street, says: cal
though it has not been announced when work
on the magnificent new St. Matthews Church
will commence. it is at least probable that it will
be started ere long. The new edifce will
be of stone, of beautiful proportions, and will
be surmounted by a large dome. 1t will be
cruciform in shape and the interior will prob
ably be finished with marble in place of plaster.
1t is safe to say that when finished it will be
one of the most magnificent parish churches in
America. and in every way worthy Of the parish
and monument to the capital city of this great
republic"
