1t is only fair TO state that timed
meat still holds the record for longev.
ity. Witness the case of that preserved
mutton youched for by DR.. Letheby in
his Cantor lecture, which had been
timed A. years, and was still in condi.
ton at the end Of that time. Those tins
had an adventurous career. In 1924
they were wrecked in the good ship
Fury, and cast ashore with other stores
on the beach AT Princes Inlet.
They were found by Sir John Ross
eight years afterward in state OF per-
feet preservation, having passed

IntereAting Information About the Homes
of Goldfish and Their Curious
Habits.

Some time during the seventeenth
century, about 200 years ago, Portu-
guese sailors saw swimming in the
lakes and rivers of China and Japan a
very beautiful variety of fish. which
glistened like gold They captured
some specimens and brought them to
Portugal. The little fish found the
lakes of Europe as pleasant to live in
as the lakes of China, and they at
once domesticated themselves and
raised their little families, until the
European streams became well stocked
with these beautiful creatures They
are also found in many brooks and
streams in the United States.
The glistening gold color of these
fishes made them sought after as
household ornaments, and the demand
for them became so general that es-
adjustments were opened for raising
them for the market. One of the
largest and most celebrated of these
places for goldfish breeding is in Old.
enburg, Germany, where more than
100 small ponds contain the fish in all
stages of growth, from the tiniest
baby to the big, stout fellow eight and
even ten inches long. The little ones
are carefully kept apart from larger
ones for the goldfish is a wicked can
nibal and devours its little brothers
and even its own children whenever
it has an opportunity. At the same
time ii is a great coward and will
hide away from fish much smaller
than itself that have the spirit to
attack it. A gentleman who possessed
an aquarium in which were sew
eral large goldfish once placed a tiny
pumpkin seed or sunhsh, about the
size of a silver dollar in the water.
Watching anXiously to see that the
goldfish did not injure it, what was
his establishment to see the pumpkin
seed dart furiously at the larger fish,
which huddled themselves in a corner.
or scurried hastily through the water
to hide among the stones and mimic
grottoes of the aquarium! From that
moment the pumpkin seed" remained
lord of the field scarcely allowing his
companions TO come to the surface as
they are fond of doing, or to take a
mouthful of food until he had salts

TO be removed from the aquarium to
save the goldfish from dying of fright.
The enormous demand for goldfish is
shown by the fact that from the estab-
lishment at Oldenburg alone over 300,
900 fish are sent to market every year.
Their price varies according to their
size and beauty, for there are grades
of beauty in goldfish as well as in all
other things,

pets of their goldfish and, with pa

WASHINGTON June 2.-The naval
officials have been considerably mysti-
fed throughout the day by the reports
of an engagement off Santiago. Cor
roborative evidence coming from many
quarters, including the official an
nouncements from Havana and
Madrid, led the officials to concede,
late in the day. that some engagement
had taken place, although they did not
regard it as a serious one. No bulle-
tins were issued by the department
during the day and at the close of
Office hours il was stated that no dis
patches from Commodore Schley had
been received during the day. There
is reason to believe, however, that the
department received indirect adj
vices. through the state depart
ment, possibly not bearing out
the detailed press dispatches,
but sufficient to indicate that an en-
gagcment of some kind had occurred
at Santiago. The impression is that,
in execution of the general nstruc-
tions TO all commanders on the Cuban
coast to prevent the construction or
strengthening of batteries by the
pdnldftS, commodore CcnleN, observe
ing work of thi, kind going on at
MORO castle, had drawn his fleet up
close enough to stop it. 1t is not be-
lieved that he made any real attempt

The True story OF otheIIo.

Rome "A diary kept in 1912 by the
representative in Gambia of the repub-
lie of Venice has just been discovered
in Venetian convent. 1t is stated
that the document contains the whole
history of Othello, and completely con-
tradicts the version given by Shakes
peare. The writer desert hes Othello's
arrival in Venice, his marriage and
subsequent career and death, the lat
ter event occurring while Desdemona
was still alive. 1t may be, therefore,
that the palace in Venice pointed out
to the tourist as that occupied by Des'
demona is actually the one. Still
