the session of the remarkable institution which
went into history few weeks ago as the first

The major part of Lubin's fortune, made in

had made quite a snug sum in this

boat belonged to a wealthy Chicago
manufacturer, a nan whose name was
known in financial circles throughout
the country. For that reason l will
call him Mr.. Cameron. He and his
bride were spending their honeymoon
on the boat, making a cruise down the
Mississippi and around the coast to
his winter home on the gulf. They
had stopped over at this point to visit
with friends.
THAT very night I met the couple
at a reception given by my chum's

enough to admit to myself the reason.
l had spent a great portion of the
evening chatting with Mrs. Cameron.
She was a talented woman and as en-
gaging in her conversation as In her
appearance, which is saying a good
deal for her conversation. She and
her husband invited me to visit them
on the h~ouse-boat, an Invitation which
I accepted the very next afternoon,

Sea EIeas.

The deep sea-naturalist, when pre-.
pairing the skeletons of small birds
and fishes for mounting, calls the sea
fleas to his aid. These active little
crustaceans swarm on the bottom of
the sea, In both tropical and temperate
waters and are possessed Of voracious
appetites. So the naturalist, after re-
moving the skin and loose flesh from
the specimen, ties it in a coarse net
and lowers 1t into the sea until 1t
hangs just clear Of the bottom. 1t Is
Immediately discovered by the sea 1eas,
and countless myriads of the little
creatures come swarming to the work
of denuding the bones. In a short
time the skeleton is clean and ready
to be packed or mounted. Care must
be taken to haul it up at just the right
moment, as If left too long to the sea
f1eas they will attack and devour the
small bones as oon as they have I'm
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part Of the naturalist
will prevent this, however, and the
tiny scavengers of the deep will save
him a lot of unpleasant work.
