at the Aquarium a short time ago. Un-
fortunately, II died.
The skates do not move about the
tank so much as the doghsb, but, un-
ike the angler. they do not hug the
bottom all the time. They are thin

The angler is the queerest OF the
lot. AS every one knows. he has the
name OF angler because OF two pecu-
liar appendages Oh his head, which.
when raised, have the appearance OF
little fishing rods, with bait attached.
These they are said TO use in enticing
fish into their mouths. These appen-
dages usually lie fiat on the back.
The fish is shaped much like a bellows,
the tail being the nozzle. He has an
enormous mouth in proportion to- his
size. II extends half way across his
head. Mr. Spencer, the superinten-
dent, in talking about the angler few
days ago, said that the mouth Of this
fish reminded him OF a story Two
boys were playing together" he said.

usually large mouth. The other said

He wore a coat Of mail
And rode into the thlckest fight,
Where bullets fell like hail.
For fearsome beasts that raved and roare q
lie didn't care rap,
But slew them with his mighty sword
AT Just single slap.
One day, as he was walking by
A dismal wood, he saw
A Dragon bold, with bloody cy
And frebreathing jaw.
Upon it's tail some salt he flung,
The monsters rage 10 quell;
A ribbon round ts neck he hung
And exc silver bell.

To all who passed that way,
To see the Dragon and the knight

United States. A common New York

buttons, and whoever comes nearest
the hole has the first shot. He endeay-

extended thumb by movement Of the
whole hand, which is kept fiat and

his turn. and so on. Whoever drives

wins il.
Another game for two players is
called "spans" The buttons are cast
