Fishes which Build Nests.


When ships steer southwark
through the North Atlantic ocean un-
til they strike the gulf stream,
that wonderful River Of the Sea,
they find themselves all at once
amid glorious yellow vegetation,
although they may be several
hundred miles from the American
coast. On calm days it extends as far
as the eye can see, not in close, I'M
broken fields, but often in masses so
great that they will cover several
acres. For days and days one can
steam without once getting out Of
sight of it. It swings up and down
with the mighty swells of the Gulf
stream, and it looks most beautiful
lying there so peacefully and radiant
ly, with the intense blue water all
! around it.
After a few hours one feels as if
he were passing through vast pastures
all golden with our national Ameri-
can golden rod.
This weed is often fished up from
oversize by passengers and crew, fer
it makes a delightful ornament for the
cabin until it begins to dry, when it
falls apart and finally crumbles away.
Sometimes, if one gets a particularly
large and thick cluster of it, strange
living things are found. They are crea.
lures that rarely if ever are to be
caught anywhere else except in The
weed, for they dwell there and in Tho
Sargasso sea only. Among them arc
very tiny but wonderfully gorgeous
crabs. One of these crabs has a shell
thar is as shining and rich as The
skies at sunset Another still more
t curious creature that dWaIls in tn,
weed is the mouse fish, also known a
the marbled angler.

Gillian Minister of Interiors Sug-
gestion That it be Done Causes
A Sensation in Valparaiso
LONG A BONE OF CONTENTION.
Proposed to Establish in the Two
Provinces Chilis Method of
Administration.

New York Dec "a great sensation
has been caused by the rumor (referred
to In London dispatch to the Assocl-
ated Press that the minister of the in
terror presented to the chamber of dep
utles Monday message asking for the
annexation of Tacna and africa prov
lnces, says Herald dispatch from VAL
pariso, Chill.
The session OF the chamber was Sc
cret and 1t has been difficult to get at
the true facts. But the latest informa-
ton of a reliable nature is that the
plan of the minister of the interior is TO
establish in TIE two provinces the same
civil administrative methods of Chill
and put an end TO the difficulties arising
from the special system now carried on
there
The fact that IT was the minister of
the interior who formulated the plan
tends TO confirm the truth of the lat
est information, because If the project
would in any way interfere with Peru
Wan interests it would have been sub
mitted by the minister OF foreign af-
fairs instead OF the minister Of the in
terror.
The Tacna-ArIca question has been
the bone of contention between Chill
and Peru ever since the signing of
peace between the two countries after
chili's victorious war. treaty was
ratified by the national legislatures OF
both republics on March 2S, 1884 where
by the two valuable provinces We're to

biscitum was to be taken by the ct-
zens of the two provinces to decide
whether the territories should remain
under the dominion cd Chill or continue

that one of the two countries to which
