annual picnic, the event in which at
least 5000 people annually take part,
is to come in August and the board of
trade today named its half of the COM

big crowd down to Balboa proved a
little too much both for the committee
and the Pacific Electric.

Aquarium Stocks Increase

aquarium OlOCkS increase
VENICE, June 25.-New features are
being added to the stock of the
aquarium constantly. The latest addi-
tions are the result of nature, rather
than the efforts of the managers of the
big tank house.
Yesterday morning the custodian
found ninteen small perch in the tank.
The little fellows school together and
give the impression that they are held
together by some unseen bond, as they
dart here and there in the seaweed at
the bottom of their tank.
In another tank farther down the
aisle baby devilfsh, about an inch in
diameter, has made his appearance, be-
ing the only one out of a large num-
ber of eggs to hatch. Twenty-Five lob
sters so small that when the lights
are down it is almost impossible to dis
tinguish them are learning to forage
for themselves. having come into the
world day before yesterday.
That these fish will hatch in cap
tivity speaks well for the purity of the
water in which they are confined, it
having been an almost impossible task
to propagate them where other sys-
TENS are in use.

Agriculture the handspring.

The following thoughts taken from an
address made by Hon. N. j. Bachelor,
Master OF National Grange, are we'll
worth reading:
Agriculture produces things. The
intelligent efforts OF the husbandman
combine the elements Of tho atmos-
phere and with the elements Of the soil,
neither of which have q marketable
value in their original form, bring crops
into existence, and add to the real
property of the world. The elements OF
the soil were as abundant, and the cli-
matte conditions a. favorable, when this
country was inha bited by savages and
the bison roamed over the fields at will,
as they are at the present time. When
the farms Of the country yield abundant
crops, abandoned forges are kindled
anew. manufacturers are unable to fll
orders, and transportation facilities be-
come clogged. Agriculture furnishes
the handspring of industrial activity.
