PROTEST AGAINST TRACKS.
Emergency Hospital Authorities Make
an Objection.

The physicians Of the Emergency Hospital
appeared before Commissioner Biddle at 2
o'clock this afternoon to protest against
the proposed laying of the tracks of the
Washington, Alexandria and Mount Yer
non Railway Company along Ohio avenue
and 18th street northwest. The physicians
argued that the noise of the cars running
by the hospital will constitute an annoy
ance to the patients. The physicians de-
clared that 1t is necessary that patients be
kept as quiet as possible, and they said
that the usual noises of the streets at pres
ent are enough without adding the ciamor
of street cars and gongs.
Col. Biddle did not announce his decision
ON the matter at the close Of the hearing

Natural Soap.

German papers report that steps are being taken in Algeria to manufacture natural soap on q lage scale from a tree known as "Sapindus utilis." This plant, which has long been known in Japan, China and India, bears a fruit of about the size of a horse chestnut, smooth and round. The color varies from a yellowish green to brown. The inner part is of dark color and has an oily kernel. The tree bears fruit in it's sixth year and yields from 55 to 22O pounds of fruit, which can easily be harvested inthe fall. By using water of alcohol the seponas ceous ingredient of the.fruit is ex- tracted. The cost of production is said to be small and the soap, on account of possessing no alkaline qualities, is superior to the ordi- nary soap of commerce.

COLONY OF SEA shuIRTs.
Curious Form of Life with Which Fathers and Small Boys Have
 Much Amusement.

Most of the tanks in the aquari- um have now been refined with rockwork, says the New York Sun. Anadvantage of rockwork for this purpose is that it affords places of lodgment for various forms of marine life, both vegetable and animal, which may be introduced into the tank either by accident or by design, to make a further addi- tion to the tanks attractiveness.
 Already in some of the tanks here these lesser forms, either planted or of accidental growth, are beginning to appear; a notable example of the lastenamed kind being found in the salmon rock. fish tanks, in which there may now be seen, attached to the rocky lin. ing of the tank, a great colony, some thousands in number, of the familiar ascidian commonly known as the sea squirt.
 Everybody that has been much about the water knows the sea squirt, leathery creature some. what resembling a rubber water bottle in shape, with two siphon tubes like stubby little slightly curved bottle necks projecting from it's top. The sea squirt takes it's nourishment as the clam does. It absorbs minute forms of ami nal life of various sorts, along with quantities of water, through one of it's siphon tubes, and after extracting the nutriment it expels the water through the other.
 The sea squirt clings to the rocks along shore, and to sea grass, and it is found in many wa ters. It may be of dingy white or gray'in color, like those now at the aquarium, though some sea squirts are of a dark rich brown, and there are others of a brilliant red. The largest of those here are about an inch and a half in length. Sea squirts attain length of two or three inches or more.
 Fathers who know about them pick sea squirts from the rocks and play tricks with them by collaps. ing them and so squirting the wa ter on fellow bathers. Boys liv- ing by the water as in fishing towns, carry sea squirts to school with them, in their pockets, and there squeeze the water out of them. To collapse one in that man ner means the end of the sea squirt.
 A sea squirt left out of water by the receding tide might lie col lapsed and flat, but 1t would be more likely to have taken in wa ter. enough to carry it until the tide covered it again, and it would be most likely to be found, be- tween tides, in places where il would get more or less moisture If one should be left exposed for g longer time than usual on some bare rock, as it might be by an un usually low tide, 1t would be burned and shriveled and de stroyed by the suns hot rays.
 They were probably introduced into this tank with shrimp put into it as food for the rockfish.
