He Doeun.t Lake Aquarium..

Why any one should ever have de-
sired to own or to visit an aquarium
Ia a mystery. The view of fish, except
when nicely grilled or when suspended
at the end of a fishing line. is one of
the most uninteresting of sights. The
other animals when in confinement dis
play traits which are more or less in
teresting. The lion has a-sense of hu-
NOR and displays it in the most pleas
ing way when he devours the lion
tanner who has entered too often into
his cage. The bear in his thirst for
buns seems so much like the human
boy that the spectator of his antics
frequently feels an irresistible desire
to hit him with a stick.
But the fish has not single inter-
esting trait. He will swim around the
tank In which he Is confined with q
persistence which is maddening to the
nervous spectator. He never engages
in a genuine fight, but contents himself
with an occasional surreptitious bite
of an enemy's tail, which gives no true
satisfaction to the behOlder. If he
happens to be a large snake thinly dis
guised as an eel or On octopus or some
other alarmingly ugly fish, he will
sometimes swim directly at the glass
through which the visitor is looking at
him and thereby give the latter a mo-
mentary sensation Of horror, but the
average fish cares nothing for the pub
lie and treats his visitors with calm
contempt. An aquarium without fish
like q seashore resort without the sea
is unobjectionable. but an aquarium
with real water and real fish is the
dreariest object in nature.-W. L. Al
den in Pearson's Magazine.

The Secret Understanding Causes
Alarm Agi-
tated over It. q

Washington, Oct. 11.-"Great
Britain's foreign policy, as /
sum it up, is to remain on friend
Iy terms with every great coun-
try in Europe, aud on something
more than friendly terms with
the United States.
( This bold statement of the
British secretary of foreign af-
fairs when it reached here today
caused a panic at the white
house and state department.
The indiscreetness of it was
patent, and called for an early
visit of Secretary Hay to the
white house. Secretary Hay
and the president had a long,
gloomy talk over the remarks of
Mr.. Chamberlain, which were
inopportune, because they were
true.
The state department was
asked for some explanation of
the temerity of Mr.. Chamber
lain for admitting what has been
so strenously denied by the state
department-namely the more
than friendly feeling or alliance
between the United States and
Great Britain. / will not dis
cuss them in any manner.
Usually the state department
declares that these remarks are
probably incorrectly reported
by cable, and the officials desire
to wait for Official verification.
Today the administration seemed
to be simply ratified by the
speech of Mr.. Chamberlain and
had, or could have, nothing to
say. The publication of the
speech was considered extreme
ly inopportune, and there was
not the slightest excuse to be
offered for Mr.. Chamberlain
putting the administration in a
hole.
Mr.. Chamberlain is, however,
only demanding the assistance
of the United States for Great
Britain in the present situation
in China, and has given the
world notice that Great Britain
is counting on long-slnce. made
contract. 1t means that Mr.
Chamberlain is now awaiting
what the United States will hav,
to say to this pnint-blank state
ment that there is somethin:
more than friendly terms be
tween the United States ant
Great Britain.
In other words, Great Britain
now has the United States Il
such a position that she cal
through her most influential an,
popular minister say to tn
world that the powers in Chin
must reckon with the Unite,
States and England. The onl.
answer of the United State
must be a reputation of the al
lance or a continuance of tn
subservIence of the Unite
States to Great Britain s scheme
