The sudden passing away of
Mr.. Kendall Burt, the youngest

roic treatment was given and
everything possible done to re-
lieve him, but he gradually grew
worse until the end came peace

little while after the sun went |
down.
His life work so beautifully |
and bravely begun here will be
continued in the Great Beyond. |
God works in mysterious way,
His wonders to perform. This |
young man on whom so much |
depended, and in whom a. moth
er's pride was centered. has been |
ruthlessly snatched away, and
we are called upon to resign sub
missively. The sympathy of a
wide circle of friends is extended

a member, in command of Capt.
w. F. McDade, came over in
body, accompanied by the follow
ing personal friends of the senior

QUAINT SWISS CUSTOM OF

A FASTING GREEN MORAY.
Forced to Eat and Now Great Eel
Is Improving.

From the New York Sun.
Among all the creatures in the aqua
mum the most erratic feeders are those
olive-green twisters with the queer
shaped heads and the needle-pointed
fanglike teeth, the green morays of Ber-
muda. A green moray may feed we'll for
five or six days and then skip eight or
ten. 1t is not remarkable for a green
moray in captivity to go without eating
for two or three months: and in more
than one instance green moray mas
gone without food for six months. In
one case green moray that had abstain
ed from food for this long period then
began eating and continued to eat vora-
ciously for two years. The green morays
are fed daily, or ii is sought daily TO
make them eat. There may. however.
come a time when they must be forced
to eat.
OF the two green morays now at the
aquarium one, a five-footer. received from
Bermuda on June 30. 1903. has lately
been for six months without taking the
food offered to 1t. Some weeks ago there
were placed in the tank a number OF
small blackfish, eight or ten inches In
length. with the hope that the green
moray would feed on them. and II is
thought to have taken one or two OF
them. but that was not enough.
When the green morays are not twist
ing about in the water with their mar
velous convultions they may lie with
head reared against the wall Of the
tank or they may lie stretched prone
upon the bottom or they may extend
their bodies through an open section of
tile piping which lies on the bottom OF
the tank, situation which they favor.
Here they may lie inert; and yet II the
eel is in good condition ii will even here
show every indication of power and OF
latent alertness.
But the fasting green moray had not
become listless, and the time had come
when it must be fed and on the next
occasion when 1t raised its head to the
surface Of the water in the tank they
were ready for 1t with a ten-inch dead
herring impaled on the end of a feeding
stick. and when the green moray opened
it's mouth, as the moray does regularly
and constantly In its breathing. the her
ring was thrust down the green moray's
throat to a point at which 1t was COM
PEELED to swallow it.
On the next day this herring was dis
gorged. but in a condition showing that
1t had yielded some nutriment In the
moray. and q few days later IT took and
kept behring's head, and now the big
green moray is improving and showing
more life and animation, and it 10 OK

Millions Natural History.
From the Scotsman.


The pigeons that found nesting places
in St. Paul's Cathedral were probably the
only species of bird with which Milton
was familiar In his early years-unless
we make an exception of the ubiquitous
sparrow. He went In his seventeenth
year to Cambridge, where he made ac-
quaintance with the sedgy fats Of the
Cam and took as much interest In birds
and flowers. beasts and trees as his
greater interest at that age In literature
and philosophy would permit.
But for him the most accurately obser-
want period of life for nature study was
over-the period of from eight to sixteen
years OF age-and he, therefore, fell into
mistakes in his use of imagery and de-
scription of natural objects. He strews,
for example, the laureate hearse Of
Lycidas with flowers that are not all
in bloom at the same season; he gives
the lark's nest a matched roof and he
calls the honeysucale eglantina

VALUE OF CURFEW LAW
Quiet Reigns in Residence District
Crusade VIII Con-
tinue.

That the enforcement OF the eurfew
law is one of the most important
steps yet taken by the juvenile court
officials is shown in the greatly re-
duced number of complaints received
during the last few days and in mes
sages of praise which have kept the
telephone wires hot in the court for
the last several days. Complaints
about street corner gangs have
dropped almost entirely and the gen
eral condition is better than it has
been for years.
Juvenile court officials declare the
campaign will be continued about
twice a week for a month or more
and after that only the officers of the
court will keep on the watch Trips
will be made through the residence
district, where boys and girls will be
taken into custody if found on the
streets after o'clock at night. Today
Judge McMaster will hold court, and
it is likely that many Of the curfew'
law violators will be before him. But
other cases have grown to a mini
mum. and officers of the court have
felt much encouraged and will now
turn their attention chiefly to the re-
sorts. where scores of children have
been allowed to enjoy themselves until
midnight and after. This practice
will be stopped at once by the proba-
ton officers.
