FOOD FOR FISHES.

Prof. Charles L. Bristol has paper In
the August Century, illustrated with full
page pictures in tnts, describing the
Treasures of the New York Aquarium.
Strange as IL may SEEM the favorite uo-
bit OF fishes that are little OH theii
feed" is bit OF salted codhsh!
Sometimes fish will refuse to eat Tor
days. as did the large moray that came
from Bermuda. At one time this great eel
tasted for eighteen days, ana al announcer
time for twenty-seven, thus causing its
caretakers the utmost anxiety. Eagerly
they study the bill of fare provided for
their patients. Now live herring is Oh
fered, now a dead one; now a. soft-sneii
clam in the shell, now quahaug minceu
fine: and so on through the list until the
fasting animal is enticed TO eat The most
attractive morsel to a moping fish seems
to be a strip cut from salted codnsn
and maneuvered about on a long SUCK
to give II the appearance of being aiive.
The regular daily feeding of the AMI
mails is another source OF care, not only
i'm regard TO the special diets OF the va
rious kinds of fishes, but also in the serV-
ing, The dietary is quite varied. as some
fish are yegetarians, many carnivorous,
and a few omnieorous The vegetarians
are few i'm number, and feed on soaked ce-
reals or green plants in season. The car
niyorous have various tastes; some are
fond of soft-shell CLANS alive In the shell,
others eat only quahaugs or little-neck
CLAIMS minced fine; some will eat only Nv
ing fishes that they can capture, otners
thrive on fresh dead fishes from which
the bones have been removed; some re-.
quire a diet of live shrimps or small
crabs: and almost all enjoy bit OF salt
ed Goldfish as a delicacyo Besides the hshes
there are the turtles, seals, lobsters sea-
anemones. and others to provide FOR, each
recurring a special knowledge of It's wants
and habits through all the seasons. The
number of mouths to be fed regularly ex-
ceed three thousand. and the supply or
food comes largely from Fulton Market; [;
but the live fishes and shrimps must be
caught and handled by the attendants.
who draw their supplies almost entirely
from the nearby waters OF Sheepshead
and Gravesend bays.

Boyden has the William NJ. Evarts OF

follows:

Dear Sir: Although you have done

thing more potent and drastic to arouse
the slumbering minds OF the East Provi-
dence authorities TO a keener sense of
their responsibilities, and the observance
OF the oath they took TO uphold the laws
or their town and state. Why not employ
the salvation Army I'm q crusade against

Where can there be found a greater field
for the. Army's work OF rescue. and
where Is there greater need for strong
and ceaseless activity? Let the Saliva

Republican organs are actually
apologizing to Great Britain for
the twenty United States Senators
who voted 10 take up the resolu.
ton expressing sympathy with the
Beers. But the votes OF these
twenty Senators need no apology.
They are in line with great prece.
dents set by American Presidents
and Congresses on similar occa
sions all through our history,
George Washington made the
first precedent when he said, refer
ring to the men who had over
thrown monarchy and established
republic in France:

Our Monroe Doctrine was pro-
claimed for their benefit.
Kossuth, the champion oi Hun
garian independence, was officially
welcome ed when he visited this
country on the formal invitation of
Congress in 1851, and our Govern
ment went as far as it possibly
could 60 within the bounds oi
peaceful diplomacy, to encourage
him and his cause.
More recently our Senate passed
resolutions OF sympathy with the
people of Brazil in their revolt
against the Emperor Dom Pedro,
and also with the Armenians in
their struggle with the Turks.
The plain truth is that the Beers
are the one people and the only
people (excepting the Filipinos, of
course), fighting to maintain free
and independent Republic, who,
from 1916 to 1900, have failed to
receive the officially outspoken
sympathy and encouragement of
this great Republic OF the West.

paying for British sympathy and
