COLONY OF SEA saUIRTs.
Curious Form of Life with Which r Fathers and Small Boys Have
 Ala 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 antmal, which may be introduced into the tank either by accident or by design, to make 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 last-named 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, a 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 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 it 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 it would get more or less moisture. If one should be left exposed for a longer time than usual on some bare rock, asit might be by an un, usually low tide, it would be burned and shriveled and de- stroyed by the suns hot rays.
 They were probably introduced into this tank with shrimp pnt into it as food for the rockfish.

Pinples '?

Pimples, .boils, scrofula, sores and other disfiguring skin eruptions arise from impure blood and why take evil tasting doses of drug saturated alcohol, when you can get small, pleasant and tasteless Johnston's Tonic Capsules. They make pure blood and cure skin troubles.

A special to the Galveston News

A special to the Galveston News
states that Mr.. Bryan was not in.
vited to the democratic dinner 10
New York. This must be a mis-
take, because it is hardly probable
that tho great Nebraskan would
have cabled . message to the guests
unless hehad been previously dssig-
mated as one Of them. But whether
he was invited or not, it 10 not
going to help along harmony IN

the party at this time as is Mr..
Cleveland's OF Mr.. Olney's. Don't

INVENTION OF MR.. ALBERT De
0ENERES.

The first model of the De Generss
self-eomputing and automatic yard
measure has been completed, and
has been shown to a number of
interested friends by the patsntee,
Mr.. Albert De Generes, president
of the De Gsneres Company. Mr..
De Generes, as we'll as all who
have seen and had explained the
great service aud convenience to be
found in this new invention, are
of the opinion that it will soon
become as popular in all the great
dry goods houses Of the world as
the self-computing scale is in the
groceries, or as the National cash
register.
The self-computing yard meas
ure is safeguard against all mis-
takes, labor saving device to
both employer and employee.
There is no possible way for err
rors to occur while measuring
goods, as every yard is registered
as it is undone, and an automatic
indicator will point to a fraction
Of cent Of the cost Of the material.
The model being shown by Mr..
De Generes was made in Crowley
at the Acadia Iron Works, and 10 a
most creditable piece Of work
As the workings Of the self
computing yard measure have
proven to be practical in every
psr:icnler, and as it is said to be =
great invention by all who haye
seen it, Mr.. De Generes will prob
ably 90 East in a short while for
the purpose Of having it tested in
the large retail houses Of the lar
ger cities, and incidentally to in
tsrest eastern capital to put the
invention on the market -Crovley

Proverbs

When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk of pure cod liver oil
with some hypophosphites
especially prepared for delicate
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just as
naturally to the children. be-
cause it issso perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale and
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
