Commissioner Wares Welcome.

After this first outburst of the afternoon
Commissioner Ware stepped to the front of
the stage and made an address of welcome
He said 1t was indeed a rare pleasure to
entertain SO many of the nations heroes in

other army In the history Of the world, he
declared, has had such an organization as
the Grand Army Of the Republic to keep
alive the patriotism of the people. There
has never been another organization of SOL
diers which has adhered so closely to the
principles and purposes of its origin.

Ware. ito the building wherein may be

Mr.. Ware was here interrupted by tu-
multuous applause. When the enthusiasm
his remarks had aroused was at an end he
continued:
Today great families are coming here to

Written Tor The Evening Star.
An exceptionally good field is offered by
the New York Aquarium for the and
delightful art of photograp hing living fishes
just as they swim in the water Until such
a photograph, taken when the fish is per-
fectly at ease, is studied in comparison with
the ordinary illustrations made from dead
fish. one does not realize how entirely erro-
neous a conception can be gained from
specimen in which life is extinct.
Great success has been met In photo
graphing living fish in the aquarium. Nat
ural light only is used. The fish to be pho
tographed is transferred from the big wall
tanks to a small tank of especially clear
glass with the long sides so close together
that h must perforce remain approXi
mately in one position. This tank is placed
near the roof, where an abundance of di-
rect sunlight is assured. The fish is treated
SO gently and carefully that he soon loses
what little fright may have possessed him.
Indeed it is wonderful how quick the fish
of all species learn that they need fear
nothing from the attendants. There are
comparatively few fish. even among the
naturally shy bottom jewellers, that will not
rise to the surface and feed out of the hand.
The fish photographed for this article rep
resent in fortunate contrast the differing
types of tropical and temperate fishes, and
also fresh and salt water fishes; and to
there is Il photograph Ohe first ever taken

nomuraena vittata, the weird deep-sea mo-

An Angel Indeed.
The present and most prominent color OF
the angel fish whose photograph was taken
"a fish that has been in the aquarium for
more than four and a half years-is blue,
of the most delicate azure shade possible,
blue as lovely as that of the sky; the
centers Of the blue scales on its sides show
a shade of light brown; the margins are
light yellow; the head is colored olive green

ventral fins, which are paired, are of

The tail is gorgeous. The base Of the
caudal tail fin is brownish. Then comes
a band of olive about one-half inch wide,
which is followed by narrow band of
bright deep blue. Next following is a band
Of yellow very light and delicate. Then
comes a narrow blue-black outer edge, and

From Outing.
When you see woman with a band of
white plumage almost invisibly tinted with
blue and green and more strongly with
golden brown ornamenting her hat, know
that from one to six Of these harmless
lovable. sweet-voiced little grebes were
stripped from chin to vent to supply II.
And when you see that other woman wear
ing a cape the collar of which reaches
above her ears and the skirt to her Shout
ders. and II seems to be made up of almost
indiscernible sections the size of your hand,
know that each section stands for the life
Of one Of these charming little chatterers.
The breast Of the grebe is It's curse. Its
feathers are so tiny and fine as to be al
most spineless, so thickly set they stand ON

A Wicked Angel.
In disposition the angel fish is anything
but an angel Where several specimens are
kept together in tank it is rare to see any
that have escaped injury from the spines or
teeth of their fellows. The angel fish has
good set of teeth and knows we'll how to
use them.
The story of the blue angel fish that has
been under observation for so many years is
sad one. AT one time 1t had Two compan-
IONS but It did not relish !hem. Il made
life for them not worth the living, and
after a few days of reflection they died
rather than remain in the cold world.
The murderer shows no sign of compunc-
ton. Alone in the tank, he takes food reg
ularly, and appears to enjoy the admiration
extended to his beauty. He acts very much
as a vain person would, showing his best
points. In fact this bad fish seems to me
to have all the points of some members of
the human race.
The angel fish in captivity. like many other
species OF tropical fish, will swim near
the surface of the water and stare directly
into beholder's eyes, showing absolutely
no rear except when a sudden movement Is
made. l have thought often, when study
ing the habits of many of the salt water
nSheS, that they are not aVerSe to the pres
once of man. but, on the contrary, decid-
eddy friendly. This will, no doubt strike
may verify it readily for himself by a visit
to aquarium.
Fresh Water Beauties.
Our old friend, the pike-perch or wall
eye. Is not nearly so friendly as are any
one Of dozen different varieties of the salt
water fishes. In the tank the wall-eyes lie
much as they do in their pools In their nat
ural surroundings, looking rather lazy and
"logy" until they see tid-bit that they de-
sire, when there Is fash and bubblng-
and Mr.. Wall-eye is back again In his lazy,
logy position near the bottom, and the be-
holder has to rub his eyes to make sure
that he saw something happen.
One Of the most strikingly tinted fish in
the institution is the pearl roach. of which
we have a magnificent collection. Floating
with barely perceptible movements Of their
transparent fins In their fishing crystal
home, they seem like dainty bits Of red gold
and mother-of-pearl suspended by some
magic in the water. The two rich colors
one glowing like fire, the other shining with
a pale luster like moonbeams through an
autumn haze, contrast so sharply that the
pearl roach tank is one Of the delights of
the place of which one never grows weary.

and folds necessarily and each motion
brings into view new beauties. 1t does. In
deed, make the fish look like a little angel.
The long, graceful extremittes OF this fin
are light lemon yellow. The upper part of
the body Is the same beautiful blue. The
anal or lower fin Is practically a duplica-
ton of the dorsal fin in shape and color.

The Armed Surgeon Fish.

The photograph of the surgeon fish shows
a tropical fish which always puzzles the
visitors. They look at it and wonder why
it has its name 1t is a beautiful creature,
shining with gorgeous tints like all the fish
that float and soar in the transparent blue
waters of the Bermudas and West Indies,
and at first view there is nothing about 1t
to hint a reason for its being called the sur
geon. But close inspection shows what
looks like an ivorywhite speck on each
side of its body near the tail. Those specks
are KEEN bony weapons, sharp in every re-
fish is attacked angered those lanCets
spring out and stand at right angles to it's
body. Then, when it dashes at the enemy,
they cruelty rip every thing they touch. Only
the very largest fish are big enough to
escape without serious injury. So keen and
effective are the Iancets that they inflict
serious wounds on ne careless fishermen.
A most beautiful subject for the camera Is
the blue angel fish which dwells in the
warm waters from southern Florida to
Brazil 1t is known as both blue" angel
fish and yellow" angel fish in different To-
calities. After watching the angel fish In
the aquarium it is easy to understand how
the two names car be applied to the same
fish. Watch them Tor time. and it will
become quite impossible for any one to say
exactly what iheir color is. Constantly
swimming. or rather soaring. with their ra-
dainty beautiful wing-like fins, turning
their bodies with the most graceful move
ments conceivable, now lowering vertically
then horizontally. now poised head down
ward-with each motion the light strikes the
fish at a different angle and with each
angle there comes a variation of color. But
the light alone has nothing to do with the

OF coral reefs In the very deep tropic seas.
Consequently. 1t was so little known that
some time elapsed before 1t could be identi-
fed at all. At last, by long research and
careful comparison with old records. we
found that 1t was Identical with a fish of
which a dead specimen was found floating
on Cuba In 1874 by Richardson. He named
It the channomuraena. having recognized
its relationship to the moray family.
No fish more nearly like the dreamed-of
snakelike sea monsters has ever been taken
alive. and there was abundant excuse for
the popular title OF sea serpent" that was
applied to 1t.
As 1t Is doubtful whether a similar crea-
ture will be taken alive again, except by
