SPECIMENS OF THE AxoLoTL, NEW YORK AQUARIUM.

Perhaps no feature of the New York
aquarium differentiates it from the other
large aquariums of the world more than
the wide area from which it draws it's
specimens, writes Professor c.. l.. Bristol
in the New York Biological Society Bulle-
tin.
The tropical fishes brought from Ber-
muda attract the attention of every visitor
to the aquarium by their rich colors and
graceful forms The rapid and wide
change of color adds to their charm. One
individual will change from plain gray to
bands of black and white; 1.-The blue par
rots'' make similar changes and the yell
lowtails change so suddenly as to look
like totally different fishes.
The angel fishes are, perhaps, the most
noticeable with their long yellow stream
1ers floating back from slSyblue body;
the squirrels. in bright scarlet livery and
huge eyes. contrast strangely with the
angels. The kinds hug the bottom, and
we'll repay a few moments study for they
change colors at frequent intervals. The
parrots are as gaudy as their namesakes,
and as varied in their colors and orna-
mentation. The dainty butterfly fishes
are sometimes called -four eyes on ac-
count of the eye-like ornament on either
side near the tail. It looks enough like
an eye to be one. and deceives many per-
sons, as it did one, who came to me in
Bermuda one day and asked if I had seen
a fish that always SWAIN tail first. They
fit in and out among the caverns and
hooks of the reefs, and probably owe their
lives to their disguise, for fish always
SEXES his prey by the head; in this case
it would be by the tail. which allows the
little fellow a chance to dart away.
The queen trigger-fsh is in many re-
| spects far and away the handsomest of

RIGGER FISH.

The doctors are shaped like melon
Seed and have a curious lance like
weapon on each side of the tail, whence
they derive their name. The little
sergeant major are branded with black
and yellow, and are very conspicuous on
the reefs.
We separate the various sorts into diff
ferent tanks or cars at our dock in Ber-
muda, for unless we respect Compatible
ties we shall have a high mortality rate
during the first twenty-four hours. One
angel among thirty other fishes will play
havoc with a lot. We have learned after
sad experience just what kinds will live
in harmony, yet every now and then some
especially vigorous individual will under
take to master the lot to our sorrow.
One very notable instance of this was
an angel fish not very large, that killed
every fish put in with him. He was a
beauty, and lived four years in confine-
ment. After selecting only the most Wig
Gus and perfect individuals we lose about
90 per cent of all we buy, for a scared fish
is usually a dead fish at the end of the
third day This sorting, however, insures
godo stock for the voyage and for the
aquarium. and in. the end is profitable.
While they are awaiting shipment they
are well fed, some grow strong and hearty,
while others show weakness and are
culled out.
Some of the fishes. strange to say, show
evidences of sea sickness on the first day
out but recover quickly. Every one on
the steamer takes an interest in the live
cargo. The whole work is so well sys-
| tematized now that the loss in transporta-
| ton rarely exceeds 2 per cent of the cargo.
This is the more remarkable when it is
realized that the boat leaves the warm
waters of the. gulf stream about 200 miles
before it reaches port, and the ocean tenn

at all sidings and crossings for use in an
emergency, in which case the conductor
or engineer communicates direct with the
dispat cher. There are two separate tele-
phone services, one for train use and one
for the general business of the road These
lines extend the entire length of the road

possible to talk from any instrument. Each
car has a telephone equipment for attach

probably attracts more attention from

button. The track is comparatively new
and still subject to settling, but is so COM
plete in detail that it will permit, in the
estima ton Of the engineers, speed of 100
miles an hour with entire safety.
The motor equipment is the heaviest
ever placed under a car. It provides for
a regular maximum speed Of sixty five
miles an hour and an acceleration OF two
miles per haur per second.

Moved to North Dakota. So.

Immediately after the conquest in 1923,
by Colonel Leavenworth, OF the Rec In-
dams, just above the mouth of Grand
river, South Dakota, Wanotan removed his
home from Elm river to the mouth of the
Warreconne Beaver creek, on the Mis-
souri,, now in Enamons county, North Da-s
kota, where he established a sort of pro-
tectorate over the Rees and the Mandans.
Here he became very powerful. In 1925
he appeared at Fort Pierre in response to
the summons of Messrs. Atkinson and
O'Fallon, treaty commissioners, and there
he signed the treaty as chief of the Sioune
band. being the big Devils of Lewis and

1.-THE Buffalo Republic."
There was a dispute of long standing be-
tween Wanotan and the Sissetons about
the ownership of "the buffalo republic;
that is of the land between the Jim river
and the eastern coteau. Wanotan con
tended that the foot of the coteau was the
western border of the Sisseton domain,
but the latter held that their lands ex-
tended to the Jim river at a point now in
Brown county, being bounded on the
north by line running from the head of
the coteau southwest to the Jim river
at the Mocassin and from this point south
east to Lake Kampeska. 1t had long
been sore spot between the bands tho
they had not come to ware over it.
When the Sissetons made the treaty of
Traverse de Sioux in 1851, they relin-
pushed to the government title to the dis
puted tract. This was only three years
after the death of the elder Wanotan and
his son took up the dispute where his
father had laid it down. He did not pro-
test the sale but demanded the proceeds.
Therefore he appeared regularly at the
upper agency in Minnesota at the time
of the annual payment to collect his dues
which the government paid over to the
Sissetons but which he compelled them to
hand over to him in part at least. 1t was
his appearance there in July, 1862, which

PALM PIAZZA OF THE DE SOTO
One Of the Many New Features
the Hotel.

In presenting this morning a picture
OF the palm piazza at the De Soto Ho-
TEL an innovation that is perhaps not
yet fully recognized and appreciated
by the travelling public, is shown. True,
the palm piazza has only been used as
an out-of-doors cafe for a few weeks,
and not great deal has been said of
1t, but it has at once become popular,
much to the qualification of the pro-
prietors, Messrs. Watson & Powers.
The idea of serving meals in the open
during the summer is, of course, not
new, but it remained for the
De Soto's proprietors to intro
duce it in Savannah, and they have
gone to considerable expense and shown
great taste in preparing for this fea-
ture of the hotel as a summer resort.
AS will be seen from the picture the
palm piazza is of considerable proper
tons and is pleasantly arranged. The
piazza is over $50 feet long, faces the
south and opens directly upon the
court, and the court opens to the south

means the end of the improvements
and novelties that are being planned
by Watson & Powers. During the sea-
son just passed it has been always in
the mind of the proprietors to make
certain changes and to add in a number
of ways to- the comfort, convenience
and pleasure of their guests. The own
ers OF the hotel We're taken into conf
dence, and after a full exposition of
the proposed move the latter gave their
full and substantial Endorsement to the
plans. Believing that it is the best pol
icy to keep up with the times, the di-
reCtors have authorized the expenditure
of large amount in improvements and
new furniture and carpets, and the
work is already under way.
During the first months Of the sum-
mer the entire exterior of the De Soto
has received attention and paint, and
the Interior redecorated. On the orna-
mental piazzas over the Liberty street
entrance, which by the way, is one of
the handsomest approaches to hotel
