At THE AQUARIUM.
Why Sorrows Were Substituted for Tasks
In Securing the Pool signs.


In Securing th. Pool signs.
Tho labels descriptive OF the fishes in the
ground floor tier OF wall tanks at the Aquarium
are a delight TO all who give them thought.
They are framed and placed In the spaces be-

brief but comprehensive account OF the nsh's

these labels is plain, bold faced letter. and.
finally. the labels are printed with good ink.
All along In front OF the tanks. md at dis
lance Of about four feet from them. there is .
stout iron railing to keep people from actual
contact with tho tanks. and for the better pro-
with perfect ease from outside the railing. and
even by persons three or four rows back from II.
Being framed and glazed and out Of con-
ven!ent reach, the labels are uGdisturbed by the
visitors; but II was not so with the labels first
placed on the tanks. before the present labels
were ready. and before the railing had been
set up. Those contained simply the scientific
and common names OF the fishes printed on
strips ~ PAPER pasted on the lower border OF
those labels often. They were wholly or partly
worn OIL by the constant rubbing against them
OF many people, or they were pulled on or torn

Collections Unsatisfactory-No Change in
the Wool Market-Decrease in Wheat
Exports-Bank Clearings-Total Bust
ness Failures One of tie Largest Ever
Recorded.
New York, Jan. S.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
with the exception of reports from a
dozen south Atlantic coast and Gulf
state cities jobbers at nearly all dis
tributing centers say business is dull
and without new features. Demand
has improved at Chicago and st. Louis
for hats, hardware, shoes and dry
goods, but trade in those lines is fair
only. Colder weather has stimulated
purchasers of clothing at some points
Little general recovery from holiday
dullness Is reported as yet. At most
centers statesmen are just starting out.
, collections are reported unsatisfactory
but in many instances merchants ex-
press themselves as hopeful of a good
spring business. The price movement
has had little significance, advances
having been shown in hides, which
have become relatively scarce, turpen-
tine. coffee, wheat, oats and tin. Firm
unchanged quotations
have been recorded for wheat flour,
pork. sugar, cotton, print cloths and
petroleum, and reactions are reported
in quotations for southern pig iron,
lard and corn.
There is no change in the wool mar
ket. manufacturers declining to buy
until they receive orders for goods.
More strength has been shown by boots
and shoes since the first of the week.
Iron and steel have been disappointing,
as consumers evidently anticipate a
further reduction in prices and refuse
to place orders. The week has been
marked by exceptionally heavy orders
of southern pig iron for export. Cot
ton goods remain as depressed and the
market Is as unsatisfactory as hereto
fore, with lower prices expected.
Exports of wheat (four included as
wheat) from both coasts of the United
States this week amount to 3,10S6SS
bushels, as compared with 3,471 900
bushels in the first week of January 1,
1896. Total exports Of Indian corn this
week, amounting to 4,819,261 bushels,
constitute the largest week report. In
the week a year ago the total was g.
626O0O bushels.
Total bank c1earings for the week
ending with January 7, one day short,
amount to 1,145 100000 an increase
over the total in the preceding week,
also one day short, Of 20 per cent, an
extraordinarily heavy gain. Clearings
for the past week are also noteworthy
being only per cent less than the
corresponding total in the first week Of
January ], 1895, which included six full
business days. As contrasted with the
first week in January 1895, this week 8
clearings show gain of 10 per cent.
and they are nearly IA per cent. larger
than in the corresponding period of
1894, while only IA per cent less than
the very heavy total in the like week
of 1893, five months before the panic in
that year.
The weeks total business failures
throughout the United States is 1888, one
of the largest ever reported. This is
contrasted with 446 in the first week of
1896.

Curious Cuban Caves,

There is a series of small and large
caverns in the marble rocks of the
Cuban mountains which are being grad
ually filled up, and that too in a most
remarkable manner. The common
land snails, of which there are many
species and varieties in Cuba, make
these caves n resort during the dry sea-
sen. They congregate on the floors of
the caverns in immense numbers and
millions of them never leave. The rea-
son is this: The water which drops
from the roofs or ceilings of the differ
ent caverns contains a large per cent.
OF carbonate of lime. When the water
evaporates the lime is left behind, and,
acting as cement, it CLUES great layers
OF the snail shells together every year.
This process going on season after sea-
son is gradually filing up the Cuban
caves, md 1t is only question of time
when there will not be single cavern
left on the island.

INCIDENT ON THE ALLEY "L."
Truculent Negro Passengers Subdued by .
Friend OF the Conductor.


Friend OF tho Conductor.
On the alley "L" road one evening q
trio of negroes boarded a southbound
train and proceeded in a way to cap
ture the car they were in. They stood
in the aisle and obstructed the prog
ress of people coming and going out
at the different stations and were in
clined to be disputatious and quarrel
some with anybody who ventured to
criticise their conduct. One of them in
particular, the largest of the three,
was especially pugnacious, and finally,
when the conductor ordered them to-
take their seats the big fellow threat
cned all sorts of destruction to the
official, and def1ed him openly to lay
hands on him, says the Chicago Chron-
icle.
The conductor passed to the next car
and enlisted the services of an acquaint-
ance of his, "bouncer" at one of the
smaller theaters. This worthy weighed
about 240 pounds and was a giant in
strength and size. He walked into the
car where the darkies stood, grabbed
the big one, who was at least half foot
shorter than the bouncer, and dragged
him to the door.
AS the car was just then Stacking up
at station the bouncer threw the col
ored. man clear over the gate and on to
the platform without waiting for tho
guard to open the gate. The darky
sprawled all over the platform and his
two companions SUNK to seats as the
bouncer looked back into the car. The
train went On, the two remaining "ter-
rors" keeping very still.
Afterseveralstations had been passed
one of them spoke in subdued tones to
the other. All he said was: "Dat sholy
was a strong man."

ELECTRIC LIGHTS AND EYEsIeHr

Unprotected Lamps Found to BE Inju-
rious to tho EyesIght.
The question of injury to the eyes
from electric light is being prominent
ly discussed by scientists, oculists and
laymen throughout the country. While
opinions widely differ as to the ulti-
mate injury likely to result from the
rapidly increasing use Of electricity,
the consensus of opinion is that light
from uncovered or uncolored globes is
working damage to the eyesight of hu-
manity. In q discussion of the subject
a London electric light journal, in de-
Tending its trade, feels called upon to
make some important admissions. 1t
says: "Lt is not customary to Look at
the sun, and not even the most enthusi-
astic electrician would suggest thGt
