Il Is Necessary Now 20 Cut Through
Ice TO Get at the Eel Grass
The man who does the marketing
for the AQuarium's sea COW has had to
do some lively hustling this winter to
keep that big animal supplied with
food
The sea COW is eight foot long
weighs 500 pounds, and has a healthy
annette. In the first eighteen weeks
after its arrival here from Florida, on
Sept. 3 last, it ate ninety bushels OF
eel grass. six bushels Of fennelleafed
pond weed and two bushels OF ulvas
or sea lettuce, making ninety-eight
bushels Of aquatic plants in all in
eighteen weeks, or an average Of
about i've and One-half bushels a
week. which is about its present rate
OF consumption
The eel grass and other things for
the sea cows table are gathered in
Gravesend Bay or the waters there
with connected. Baymen say that the
Dresent has been the hardest winter
hereabouts on the water in twenty-five
wears. On many days il has been nee
essary to cut through the ice to get

Good Morninr.

Good morning. my little boy blue.
The flush Of the dawu's DO the sky.
The grass Of the meadow IS wet with
the dew
And the robin Is singing on high.
The sun OF ambition not yet
Has come with its pitilesz rays.
To bring you the painting. the pain and
the sweat
OF the noontide OF passion ablaze.
No sign or the cloud-rack appears.
No hint Of the wild afternoon.
It's lightning OF loss and its tempest
OF tears
And the darkness that faueth too soon.
Then follows the bow Of that pEace.
Which paints the departing o. light.
When pleasures and labors and sorrows
must cease
in the Infinite calm Of the night
Good morning. then. little boy blue.
The flush or the da WINS in the sky.
The grass Of the meadow is wet with
the dew
And the robin is singing on high.
