DEATHS AT THE AQUARIUN.

One Of the three West Indian seals which were

Yesterday from what his keepers diagnosed as con-

One Of the large Holsters has also died. and several
trout were unable to live in the water at the
Aqua rum because its temperature was too high.
The refrigeratng plant which has just been intro
