SEA -aNEMONE AND pARNACLE.
"a Odd Pair of Chuins to Ec Seen In the
Aquarium ct Castle Garden.

Ss.S-lc
The sea anemone is very sensitive.
It closes at hostile or thouShtless
touch, not rapidly, for it can't do any
thing very rapidly, but rs rapidly as it
can, curling its teutaclos inward and
covering them over with its outer skin
and flattening it down upon the rock.
But it is not disturbed by its friends.
In one of the smaller glass tanks at the
city's aquarium at Castle Garden there
are several little sea aneInones taken
from spiles and stones about the Bat
terry. In the same tank, almost within
reach of these aDemones, are some conf
mon barnacles-little ones, half an inch
or SO in diameter. Lacking in beauty
as the barnacle may be, it is provided
with a most wonderful handlike men,
Der, which it throws up from its she'll,
with which it sweeps the water for
food, the minute animalcul8 upon
which it feeds.
One of these barnacles is SO close to
one of the little anemones that when he
filings his net it almost or quite touches
the tips Of the anemone's tentacles,
which spread like the most delicate and
feathery branches of the tiniest little
tree. But the anemone doesn't close up.
Not bit. Here down deep in the tank
its branches wave in the gently agitat-
cd water, as, delicate as they are, they
might do i'll the gentlest zephyrs ON the
land, and they wave and wave as the
barnacle throws its net. Perhaps the
sea auemone has its own benefit in mind
through all this. for it is quite probable
that the agitation CT the water brings
to it food that it might not otherwise
receive; but, however that may be, the
fact remains that the little anemone
that would close at the slightest touch
of an enemy is quite undisturbed by any
thing that its friend and neighbor the
barnacle might do.-New York Sun.
