The Queer Little Creatures Known
MS
The qu%eerest pets In the world are
kept I'm Il beautiful row of clear, flash
ing, round glass tanks on am upper
floor of a large aquarium. AS you ap-
proach the tanks you behold glowing
little groups OF color and artistic blend
ing and mingling OF fantastic weeds
and shining stones. Then when you
peer into the tanks you see what at
first seem to you just like particularly
handsome aid gorgeous flowers grow
ing all over the little rockeries. Some
of the flowers look like dainty pink
and white and yellow and purple and
crimson dahiias. Others look almost
like daisies, with lacelike petals.
Others look like little star flowers, all
pure white and perfect. These flowers
are of all sizes, from tiny ones barely
large enough to see to great ones al
most large enough to fill n saucer.
But if you Viii watch these "fow-
ers' for a few minutes you will jump
suddenly, for ali at once you VIII see
n move its petals. Then you Will
see another and another do 1t. Slowly
the petals unfold or contract, with
little Jerking movements. sometimes
twining in the water like snakes.
Tap smartly on the table on which
the tanks stand, and like lightning all
the petals will have disappeared.
These sea flowers are really not flow
ers at all. They are living creatures,
known as sea anemones.
For many years a scientist has
tended and fed them, and the little
animated flowers actually have come
to know him. When he feeds them, he
puts a little bit of fish on the end Of a
long pointed stick and puts It care
fully down into the water until 1t is
near the anemone. 1t did not take long
for the beautiful things to understand
1t, and, whereas at first they used to
withdraw their petals and shut up
tightly when the stick approached,
now they Irvine gracefully and stretch
their dainty arms out as far as they
can go in order to reach it.-London

WATER POWERS

PLAN OF "A GEORGIAN.
Promises to Benefit the
South.
The Bill is Yet to Come Before the SEN
ate-Some of lis Pro-

OF considerable Importance to the
development of the water powers of
the Southern States is an amendment
to the sundry civil appropriation bill,
which the National House of Repre-.
s~entatiyes adopted Thursday on the
motion of Mr.. Adam:on of Georgia.
This amendment increased to 800, goo
the appropriation for gaugipg and
measuring the streams of the country.
AS reported from the committee this
item was 100000. Judge Adamson
argued in behalf of his motion that
that was in the interest of the entire
country, and not of n particular Sec
tion, but at the same time told of the
great wealth which the South has in
its water powers and the value of their
development.

The Driver Knew Him.

1t is related Of the late Bret Harte
that he was once travelling through q
mountainous region by coach. His seat
was next to the drivers, and 1t oc-
cured to him to entertain that func.
tlonary and. incidentally his fellow
passengers by %narrating n series Of
hair raising episodes in the coaching
history Of the wild west.
With mischievous ingenuity he cal
cuhted each tale SO cleverly that Its
bloodcurdling climax was reached at
q particularly bad bit Of road, thus
forcing present peril to heighten the
effect of imagined adventure. AT first
the adventures We're not imagined; they
were true stories, but the widening
eyes and breathless interest Of his au-
dience was'too great q temptation, and
he soon began to improvise his own
wondrous whips of equal power were
pressed into service; Indians, land
slides, holdups, billiards., Broken
bridges, forest fires and runaways were
sprinkled in to taste, and the result
was a marvellous conglomerate of dime
novel, epic, racing annals and local his
tory.
Even the slowly stirred perceptions
Of the touring Briton at length recog-
nized that this was no common story
teller, and when Mr.. Harte left the
coach speculation raj rife among those
who remained. The driver let them all
have their guess, and then, turning on
his perch to confront his load, he ti-
umphantly decided the matter:

whether under such conditions 1t might

that 1t is true AT least they feel that
all the facts have not come out and
that there must be a feature OF the
story which. If known, would clear up
the mystery.
Major General Corbin, who was Sir
Thomas guest aboard the Erin, ant
who might be expected to know II there
had been any cause of friction or feel
ing between the president ana Slf
Thomas, said last night that he never
heard word indicating that any snch
feeling had arisen. He was wholly at
a loss to account for the alleged shup'
ana thought it probable that there
might be some phase of the mater
which has not yet transpired ana wound
transform an unpleasant episode into
very simple affair. General Coroln sald
he had heard that the president haa
been invited to attend the yacht races
as a guest aboard the Erin. but had no
idea why the invitation had not peen
accepted. save that the president was
too busy to set away from MS ONCE.
If there had been any trouble OF any
sort between the president ana the
distinguished yachtman. General Cor
bin had never heard of it.
1t is well unders TODD in Washington
that the president of the United States
like any head of state, has the right,
under social law, to revise the list OF
guests at any dinner which he con-
sents to attend. If the president ae-
cepts an invitation to dinner and his
host wishes to invite some person who
is not of the presidents immediate OF
fetal or personal circle. inquiry IS al
WAYS made as TO the acceptability OF
that guest before the invitation is sent
Ii the president replies that he IS not
on familiar terms with the proposed
guests wishes may be necessary, ara
host quickly takes the hint and does
not send that invitation. This defer
enee is accorded a sovereign or the

| that guests already invited should be
asked to reconsider their acceptance
and remain away. If it is true that the
president has followed this harsh
course toward Sir Thomas Upton, Mr.
Fife. and the Earl of SALISBURY, who
In a sense, are guests of the nation,
there must be some reason for the UNI
usual action which has not yet come to
Hight.
The presidents friends here are
wholly at loss to know what that
reason is. All that they feel sure of is
that the president is not narrow or
priggish about anything, and that some
adequate explanation must be forth
coming.
The explanation already offered To-
wit. that the president objected to the
presence of Sir Thomas at the dinner
because he did not want to appear 70
be OVERRIDING in the extension OF cour-
tesies TO the Irish yachtman. Is ad-
mitted to be inadequate to explain an
action which. on its face must be re-
garled as little less than an insult.
There is the keenest anxiety among
the presidents friends here to know the
whole truth, for they fear that II the
episode is permitted to stand, as AZ
present narrated, the effect upon MI.

When the president consents to appear

naturally out of the question for him to

president pays no attention to the guest
