The memorial chapel which Secre-

both the United States and Great Brit

was a compliment which, fortunately,
was justified.

thing like seventeen cents and tired

time the safe has been robbed but on
this occasion it was not necessary for
the burglars to use dynamite. A

notifies all safe blowers that access
can be had by simply turning the
knob As n matter of fact the old
iron box has been dynnmited so often
that il is question whether it would
be possible to lock it.
Last night the robbers entered the

Then there was nothing more to do
than to follow the directions on the
safe door and help themselves.
There is no clew to the perpetrators

How to Make a
Balanced Aquarium
Tanks That Need No Change of Water from One End
of the Year to the Other-How to Install
Plants and Animals IN Them.

The one and only kind of an aqua
rum that is really worth having is the
balanced tank--that is, the aquarium
in which the plant life and the animal
life balance each other so perfectly
that the water need never be changed.
A balanced aquarium demands more
watchfulness than does one in which
the water is renewed at frequent inter-
walls, but it does not entail nearly as
much labor.
The truly satisfactory tank is the
solid glass kind made out of one piece
of glass. 1t not only has none of the
aggravating tendency to leak of the
iron and glass aquarium, but it is more
cleanly and far more beautiful.
The glass tanks may be obtained in
two kinds, cylindrical and square. The
square is the more attractive in ap-
pearance, but if placed in the sunlight,
owing to the unequal expansion and
contraction of the side turned toward
the sun and the other that is in the
shade.
The cylindrical tank has this draw
back in a much lesser degree. CAREFUL
ness in shielding the aquarium from
the more fefvent sunlight guard
against the danger almost altogether.
Shielding the tank can be done easily
by inserting a piece of green or yellow
paper between The window and the

1t seems as if nature had been UNI
reasonably generous to an animal too
lazy to go after it's food.
Again nature has so clothed the ami
NAL that it is almost concealed when
lying in wait for it's prey. Thus, its
upper surface is notified and tinted
just like gravel and sea weeds. Its
body is hung around with fringes
which wave and sway, closely resemb-
ling the surrounding weeds.

The iris of it's eyes is so colored in
lines radiating from the pupil as to
look very much like some innocent
little limpet. The only consolation is
in the fact that the flesh of this glut-
tonous monster is said to be palat-
able, and in Italy is much esteemed for
food, while in Great Britain steaks are
cut from the part of the body near the
tails 1t is also used extensively for
batting lobster pots.
The Goosefish spawns in summer.
The eggs numbering 10000 to $4,000 to
each female, are enclosed in a ribbon
shaped gelatinous mass, about a foot
wide and as much as 80 to 40 feet long,
which floats near the surface. The
natural habitat of this fish is, how
ever, near the bottom, resting on the
mud, where, like Oliver Twist, 1t is al
ways ready for more.
