He said IL was impossible to discover
the way; that no one would ever know II,
because, in order to kill him a Ratchet
would have to be got which was buried
under her pony's hind foot where he
stood in the Princes stable. and an elder

but that was the only way in which he
would ever be killed.
When she heard this she was very
thankful.
Next day when she went ashore with
her, sons, the Prince came to see her
and she told him how the whale was to
be killed.
He lost little time in getting the Ratchet
from beneath the pony's hind legs; he cut
the elder tree on the bank; when the ell
der tree fell a duck flew out and dropped
an egg. and the Prince took hold of this
egg. He took Eithne and her three sons
to the castle.
In short time finding that they were
not returning, the whale began 20 lash
the waters of the sea in a rage, and he
came up and out of the sea, making
straight for the castle, intending to de-
stroy and devour it.
But the Prince, with the egg In his
hand, went out and as the whale came
near he saw the brown speck on his breast
and for this spot he took good aim and
struck him on it and that instant the
whale dropped dead.
Then there was wonderful rejoicing in
the castle. Eithne's step-sister was driv-

phase OF his insanity; uncomfortable as
IL is ptiab.e. Even on the visit to the
Mosque every Friday-1he Moslem Holy
Day--when the sultan whirls along for
the brief five minutes drive from tho pail
ace escorted by a small army to secure
him from his people, his carriage keeps
the mathematical center of the broad
road to be as far from the troops as pos
sible. And the Sultan shrlnks to moth

perhaps q CLEAN of the sun on a drawn
sword should flash in on him and drag
from him the veil of terror he knows he
could not keep back. Yet he Is fond of
his soldiers-at distance-and proud OF

the Turkish army is due TO HIM. to his
initiative, and TO the knowledge and skill
of the German military experts whom he
hired to carry out his plans. They have
worked well together, At Moscohori In
Thessaly. Gen Yassos, who had just
come from Crete and Joined the Greek
army after Dhomokos, quoted our Gen.
Miles as his authority for an opinion that
the Turkish Army was enc of the bravest,
best disciplined, most loyal and efficient
bodies OF lighting men In the world. The
Sultan would have had one happy mo-
ment had he been OF that on Mon. Yet

the victorious troops on their return to
Constantinople the frightened Monarch
angrily refused.

fond; II might be that the existence Of
some dainty fishes in captivity in an
aquarium would depend upon whether
they could be supplied with 1t. The
gammarus lives on and about plants that
grow under water. 1t is very small and
difficult to gather by itself in sufficient
quantities. So punches of the vegetation
TO which it clings are gathered up bodily
On bunch as big as a mans high hat
there might PERHAPS be 500 gammarus.
Such bunch is put into the tank for the
fish to poke around in. 1t gives them
their food in an attractive form. as they
would get it in nature. and they hunt
the plant over for 1t, and swim away and
come back and look for more. The
fishes don't overlook many of the gam
marus; In fact when that exhausted food
holder was taken out, to be repl ced with
a clump of the plant, there remained up
on it not a single one.
A Turtle That Went Downstairs.
Some turtles .of smaller varieties are
kept here in small metal tanks in the
laboratory, which is a long room on the
second floor of the building. This room is
heated by steam with radiators of the or
binary kind. The small tanks in which
these turtles are kept is at the end of the
'ong room. while the staircase leading to
the ground floor is at the other. OF these
smaller turtles now and then one gets out
of it's tank, perhaps by climbing up on
the back of another turtle that happens
to be standing close up against the inner
side of the tank, managing thence to
reach the edge and drop over to the floor
and so get q little run of liberty.
Among these sma Ter turtles was an
African terrapin about four inches in
length that was one of the best of the
climbers. On a number of occasions this
turtle had got out and taken a day off,
crawling under the radiators to get warm,
and roaming around at its pleasure. but
always staying in the laboratory some
where, But one day it varied this pro-
gramme by going down the stairs. 1t
was found on the Platform at the foot of
the stairs quite unframed. and was car
red up and put back into it's tank.
1t is not supposed that the African ter
rapin jumped down these steps, but that
it crawled to the edge of the steps one
after another and dropped over, and kept
on falling down this succession of cliffs
until it reached the bottom.
Big Seals Fond of Little Killies.
Pretty much everything that swims like
live killies to eat they are fed to the
fishes aud other animals at the aquarium

but more generally as shrimps, for in

side dish or dessert Sometimes though
they are given to persuade fishes whose
appetite has failed, to eat as hight be
done also in the case of the seals which,
big as they are, like the little knies very
much. Nellie, the larger of the harbor
seals at the aquarium, is especially fond
of them, and when kllies are put into
the water in it's pool, it catches them with
perfect facility and certainty.

vaIids to Tempt Them to Eat.
New York, Feb. 22.-The New York
City Aquarium is provided with every nee
essary appliance for the care of fishes in
captivity. 1t has air supply pipes with an
opening into every tank through which
compressed air can be forced into the wa
ter when the natural supply of air in it
is deficient; it has a refrgerating appa-
ratus with a pipe system for the supply
of cold water to the tanks of such fishes
as require it, as trout in summer, when
the city water would be too warm for
them; and it has a hot water apparatus
with piping for the supply in winter
of water at a suitable temperature for
fishes from tropical chimes, that would die
if, it were sought to keep them through
that season in water of the natural tenn
perature of this latitude.
There are various ways of transferring
large fishes from the transportation cans
in which they are brought TO the aquarium,
to the pool or tank in which they are
to be placed. Two ground sharks, for IN
