NESTS OF sEAWEED.
Floating Homes For Flying Fish In the

sarsasso Sea.
Science is beginning to know a good
deal more than 1t formerly did about
that strange drowned meadow" in
the Atlantic ocean southwest of the
Azores which is called the Sargasso
sea.
1t is. as is well understood. a vast
accumulation of a kind Of seaweed
which. upheld at the surface of the
water by innumerable little air vessels
that act as floats. Is continually re-
newed by the breaking up Of its fronds
and the growth OF the broken parts.
Many fishes have established their
homes in 1t as well as numerous SWIM
ming crabs, small cuttlefish and quite
a variety Of other creatures.
Most remarkable Of all it's inhabit-
ants is the mouse fish. which has pee
toral fms developed in such a way as
to resemble arms. BY these it holds
on to the fronds Of the weed. a crea-
ture of solitary habits. highly carnivo-
rous and always waiting for some
prey to come within reach. 1t is a
fish of very peculiar appearance. with
w so many queer looking appen-
dages. and In color 1t initiates closely
the plant that affords it shelter. being
green with white spots.
The flying fishes that inhabit the
floating meadow make ball-like nests
out of fronds Of the weed as big as
two fists. Such balls are found float
ing and appear as If knit together
with elastic threads. They are filled
with eggs. Professor Louis Agassiz
mistook them for nests of the mouse
fish. but DR.. Theodore Gill. an emf
nent authority. has proved this to have
been an error. Each one of these
nests is composed Of a single frond.

Gotham's Domestic Relations Court

Anew YORK.-One year ago the Do
IN nestle Relations court was estab-
lished in New York and 1t has already
gained a place as one of the perma-
nent and most necessary institutions
OF this city. The tremendous work OF
this court arouses wonder that the
Idea had not been adopted years ago
and that 1t is not more widely emu
lated in other cities throughout the
country. Chicago and Washington are
the only two other cities where simi-
lar courts exist
The Domestic Relations court is es-
sentially a poor mans court. In its
prime office, indeed. it partakes Of
the nature of a conciliatory court, sim
liar to the conciliatory courts Of
France, through which all domestic
difficulties pass before any divorce or
other serious case involving domestic
infelicity, abandonment or non-support
can enter the courts proper. Like the
judges of the conciliatory courts in
France, the judges of the Domestic
Relations court in New York are chos-
en- for their tact, patience, knowledge
of mankind and sympathy with the
frailties of men and women. Every
case that comes into the Domestic Re-
lations court these judges first try to
adjust without legal procedure.
