SEA ANEMoNe AND BARNAcLE

An Odd Pair of Chums to Be Seen In the
Aquarium at Castle Garden.
The sea anemone is very sensitive.
1t closes at hostile or thoughtless
touch, not rapidly. for it can't do any
thing very rapidly, but as rapidly as it
can, curling it's tentacles inward and
covering them over with its outer skin
and fattening 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 anemones taken
from spiles and stones about the Bat
terry. In the same tank, almost within
reach of these anemones, are some COM
mon barnacles-little ones, half an inch
or SO in diameter. Lacking in beauty
as the barnacle may be, it is provided
with most wonderful handlike MEM
Der, which it throws up from its shell,
with which it sweeps the water for
food, the minute animalcule 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 mp.
Not bit. Here down deep in the tank
its branches wave in the gently agitat-
ed water, as, delicate as they are, they
might do in the gentlest zephyrs on the
land, and they wave and wave as the
barnacle throws its net. Perhaps the
sea anemone has its wnbenefit in mind
through all this. for it is quite probable
that the agitation of 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.

Flowers In Northern Russia.

An English traveller in northern Rus.
STA writes to The Gardeners Chronicle
that nothing surprised him more than
the universal presence Of we'll grown
towering plants in dwelling rooms.
Even in the cells of inconsistencies and in
the studios of city photographers farther
north than Arohangel he found such
plants as oleanders, crotons, pelargoni-

The double windows, SO necessary to
keep out the cold, have draft tight

sary to open them for air during the
short, hot summer. From September to
June the country is buried in snow and

for January is only 10 degrees. The

A CRITIC SURPRISED.

Lord Randolph ChurchilPs Crushing Inter
view With Hypercritical Dandy.
Lord Randolph Churchill took a very
keen artistic delight in his wife's mu-
steal accomplishments, but he was un

disparagingly of them. Atan entertain
ment once, where she had consented to
execute brilliant dash on the piano, q

or insolent attention to the music, stand

her. Lord Randy was close at hand.

his delight, he received an invitation to

the night before, who, he at once dis

proceeded no farther than the entrance

HER STRANGE PRISON,
Where 3 Cincinnati Man Found His wife
After a Burglary.

Where Cincinnati Man Found His wife
After Burglary.
The construction of city fats is such
that it seems as if fat thieves ought to
be able to obtain almost unlimited plum
der with IMMUNITY But they are for
ever getting caught, and most of them
are the lowest grades Of sneak thieves.
Anything like originality in their
methods is rare, so the experience of the
head Of modest west side fiat is re-
markable. He arrived home from bust
ness about 6 clock and at once observed
indications that something unusual had
been going on.
It was evident that thief had been
around, and chat he had. gone away
without taking much, if anything, with
him unless it was the residents wife,
for she was nowhere to be found. The
husband presumed that she had gone to
notify the police, SO he sat down and
waited, but after an hour or two he be-
came anxious and inquired Of the neigh
bors.
They had heard or seen nothing either
of thief or wife. Then there was trou-
BILE. The husband hurried to the near
est police station. His wife hadn' t been
there, and general alarm was sent out
for patrolmen to watch for her, while
two detectives returned to the house
and helped push inquiries.
The kitchen and dining room looked
as If the wife had been interrupted in
her work, but there was no other sign
of her. The detectives looked very wise,
asked many questions that seemed i'm
pudent to the distracted husband, made
some notes and went away.
The husband was in a bad state OF
mind. but not so upset that he didn't
presently realize that he needed food.
Rather than cote restaurant he went
to his refrigerator to see what there
might be to eat. He opened the door,
and there, cnrled slaeiA thss&se chamber,
was his wife. She wasn't hurt. She
hadn't even tainted.
She was simply asleep, somewhat
stupefed with the close air and cramp-
ed in every joint but otherwise in good
condition and glad to get out. She ex-
planned that she caught thief at work,
and that he clapped her into the refrig-
orator before she conld scream. Once
in she could do nothing There was no
inner handle to the door, She cried
aloud, and finding no response just
waited to be discovered, dreading all
the while that her wedding spoons had
been taken. They were not, though.
They had been placed, with other valu-
ables, in the center of the dining room
table for carrying of, and the incident
ended happily. Cincinnati Enquirer.
