LIFE IN THE SEA.
The Curious Things that Thrive in
an Aquarium.

The Curious Things that Thrive in
an Aquarium.
Mr.. spencer, the superintendent of
the New York Aquarium, a few days
ago was busying himself by picking
lot of sand fieas from a dipper and
dropping them into jar of anemones.
AS they fell into the water they
Strengthened themselves out and then
slowly dropped to the bottom, kicking
as they fell. A few of them alighted
on the body Of an anemone, which
promptly closed up. One, unfortun-
ately, found himself, when he had set
tied, on the tentacles of one of the
anemOnes. These began to serve the
purpose for which they were bestow-
ed upon the anemone, and the flea, or
scud, suddenly found himself inside
the capacious nav of the anemone,
and the life was soon squeezed out of
him.
"All is grist that comes to our MILL"
quoted Mr.. Spencer. These were on
lot of mussels which came in a
little while ago l thought l would
save them. There is life everywhere
in the water. Look at thisr' He held
up a dozen mussels. held together by
what appeared to be a vegetable
growth. THAT is an animal growth,
known as serturlaria," said he. IN
this bunch you will find all sorts of
animal life There are scuds, or sand
feas, and rock crabs. Lookw He
held up one of the valves of mussel
shell. On it was sea anemone. mo
tice that reddish coating, part of
which has faxed off. Look at it
closely. Doesn't 1t look like lace
work? That is the bryoza coral, the
lowest form of mollusk coral. You
will find life on nearly everything
that comes from the sea. Here's one
of the rock crabs" He took out of
the nest Of mussels little crab, about
the size of ones finger nail, and drop
ped it into jar Of water-New York

LOST MONDAY"
Popular Fete in Belgium the Origin of

Popular Fete in Belgium the Origin of
Which Is a Mystery.
The first Monday after Epiphany is
a fete day throughout Belgium. Lost
Monday it is, called here; exactly why
no one seems able to explain. The
origin Of the fete is lost in the le-
gends of the middle ages, but the mod
ern acceptation of the day is certainly
lost to no one here. Like Mardi Gras,
Lost Monday is day of general
merrymaking; every cafe and restau-
rant in Brussels keeps "open house."
and free fare Is on hand for all pa
irons of the establishment, and as a
matter of fact for many others as
well who are not regular patrons.
On Black Monday, then, as 1t is iron
ically called by some of King Leo
pold's subjects not overenchanted with
the day, the streets of Brussels are
given over to the people, and the ad-
venturous foreigner who ignorant of
the country's customs, ventures out is
apt to find that the Belgian populace
is no respecter of persons. On this
day the shopkeepers, signing behind
their counters, find themselves com

ers, too. have a contribution to offer
in the shape of cakes specially made
for the occasion, and offered az gifts
to their clientele.
In this manner, says the Brussels
correspondent Of the New York
Times. the unique fete is perpetuated,
though the calendar does not note In
any particular manner the first Mon
day after Epiphany.

The crowd heard her, and yelled
hoarsely: Hold on! The ladders are
coming! Don't move! Hold the little

Albert and Maudie crouched huddled
up together on the ledge, and kept
their eyes fixed in almost despairing
trust on Joes face. Their breath came
and went in quick, convulsive sobs.

shawl well wrapped over its head to
keep out the smoke. Next moment
there was yell from the crowd be-

But even as he spoke there came a
binding burst of smoke and flame, fol-
lowed by one shrill scream of agony,
when he could see distinctly again the
whole ledge had broken away, and
disappeared into the crowd below. He
drew in his breath. The babys shawl
was already ablaze, and one of his legs
had been scorched black in the fire He
clambered on to the sill while the
crowd shrieked to him in despair

struggle to her feet in the morning
the children were all up and away,
taking with them enough money from
her purse to pay for their dinner.
In vain she sWore and thrashed them
at nights when she remembered it
was no use, and the same little scene
was enacted every morning. The first
thing Joe did on ushering his little
brood into the open air was to take
them to a covered passage leading into
little blind alley here they sat down
and shared the bread and "scrape,"
or sometimes the bread without the
scrape, which he had prepared. The
baby had it's milk, and then they fin
tshed up their repast with a drink Of
WATERFALLS, never wash.
After this the serious work of the
day began for little Mother Joe. How
to get the girls to school, and with the
least amount of friction; that was al
ways the puzzling question. When
they were younger threats always
served him, but now they were long
legged and nimble and shrill, and he
had to resort to brides and cunning.
ITS nigh yer time. amt it, Mimi
kite?" he remarked blandly, this par
ticular morning, as he wiped the ba-
bys mouth with his sleeve, "and
know yer'll want to be punckshall and
beat that Eddie Cox with her regular
Tendance"
Minnikite leant back and smiled at
him with long wicked green eyes, and
then she slowly put out her tongue.
Il 'appens to know" he continued,
with weary patience, and busting the
baby's head as he spoke. that there's

ly Anna Maria, aged 7; Minnie Kate,
aged 6; Albert aged AZ; Maud Har-
riet, aged 3, and the baby, Sarah Ellen.

Joseph Weber and believed himself
to be about 8, but his mother was new
er quite sure. They all lived at the top
Of narrow, tumble down house, and
Mrs. Weber always spoke of herself
as "widder." Her first husband had
died "in ole Hengland," the second
here.
Mrs. Weber got her living by char
ing, and as long as she was sober al
ways managed to secure enough work,
but she was an improvident, thriftless
woman, and any extra money she
might secure either went for drink or
was spent on indigestible food, such
as timed salmon and pineapple or
shell fish, which often made the poor
baby Ill for weeks later. She took lit
tie interest in her family, save now
and then for a fit of maudlin senti-
ment over her orphans, but on the
other hand was seldom violent except
after an extra heavy bout of drinking,
when the children carefully kept out
oil the way, being taken in and given
shelter by kindly neighbors
Her one idea of responsibility was
to try to lock her family in before
starting off for her work, ito keep 'em
out of mischief" as she said, ''for she

ternal forethought, which was not diff
