sal Interest.
Especial Washington letter.

>>SSsSe'J
I'M THE agricultural depart.
I'm ment a few weeks ago we were
entertained by study of in
sects and parasites by the learned sci
entists who propagate those minute
specimens of animal life and devote
their efforts and energies to discover
ing their histories and mysteries.
1t is only short walk, little stroll
over beautiful lawns, from that point
OF interest to the National museum,
where there are tens of thousands of
the wonders of nature gathered and
garnered from all quarters of the
world. But for the fact that it would
give something of a,sameness and dull
ness of routine to these letters, it might
be well for the writer to spend day
each week in this National museum
and tell you of the fresh wonders which
are disclosed to the students and
philosophers who have opportunity to
go there. ..
Ih1s afternoon we were shown the
treasures of the ocean; the things of
value which are contributed to man.
Kind by the depths of the sea; the
fruits from those depths, the skins and
scales of fishes which are available for
the industries and the arts; the curious
uses of sea weeds, sea slugs and the
polypi. OF the things of value, many
of them Indispensable which are gath
cred from the sea there appears to be
no end. The animals of the field and
the birds of the air furnish food, raj
ment and ornaments for man and wom-
an, but their value to mankind is
dwarfed almost into insignificance
when we have disclosed to us all of the
wonderful things which the various
tribes of fishes and other inha bitants
OF the ocean yield for the general well
fare OF the lords and ladies of creation.
Aboriginal man was warrior and
ruffian, and his weapons of offense and
defense predominated in the develop
ment of science. The bow, arrow,
shield and finally the sword marked
the development of man from his low
est estate. Refinement and culture
have come only in the younger CEN
suries of this very aged world. The
Indians of Brazil captured the ray from
the ocean and made arrow points of
its keen-pointed vertebrae. An arrow
thus pointed. with a strong bow string
back of it, would go clean through a
mans body. The teeth of sharks have
been used for. arming weapons from
thine immemorial. In the National
museum there are specimens regarded
as more than 5000 years old.
The natives of Dacca use, and have
long used, the jawbones of the boalee
for combs, the teeth being small and
smoothly set, SO as to make them readi-
ly available for removing loose fibers
from cotton and wool. The Indians of
North America have always used the |
jaws of the sleeper shark" for head
dresses. The Eskimos use large fish
bones for canes and for weapons of
offense.
But the sea products for ornamental
ton and for use in the arts and in man

AY 1, 1888, will always be glo-
lV rious day in the annals of the
American navy, for on that
day was fought the battle of Manila
bay which, according to historians, did
more to bring about peace with Spain
than any other single event of the war
of that year. Formal declaration of
war against the United States was
made by Spain on Sunday, April "a.
