The Sea Horse Show at the Aquarium
has been augmented by the arrival OF
a giant draft horse from tho stables IN
Great South Bay. Some OF the best peo-

standing on their tails are the Shetland
ponies. roadsters. cobs, polo ponies and
trotters. But the newcomer IL Clydes-

naiads and the mermaids use the others
for canter In tho coral groves at the
bottom of the sea. Old Neptune him
self ana his court use the Clydesdales
for Transporting their scales and other
jewels and to draw their royal chariots.
The new Clydesdale held a lsvee this
afternoon In the grassy shade Of the
palms at the bottom of the tank and all

he was boss and just wanted to show

MURDERER EXILED BY HIS CONSCIENCE

Midway island now one of the most important
stations on the Pacific cable, the scene Of
many wrecks and unsoved mysteries in the days
when the sailing vessels roved the seven seas.
Not the least of these strange events says the
San Francisco Chronicle involved the old bark.
Wandering Minstrel, which was wrecked on Mid
way in 1885, while on a shark fishing cruise out
Of Hongkong. All hands succeeded in reaching
shore safely, where they found old building
erected thirty years before by party of sur
veyors and here the luckless survivors Of the
Ill fated Wandering Minstrel marooned for
IA long months, subssting on fish and the eggs
of the countless birds, which wheeled and
screamed over the flashing coral reefs, until res
cued by the Japanese schooner Norma and taken
to Honolulu
The Wandering Minstrels company found many
marks of wrecks on the island, including broken
hull marked General Siegel, and on one of the
smaller islands close to the main island they
stumbled across two mounds of sand over which
wooden crosses, made from drift wood had been
erected, hacked with the Inscription 1886"

Pale tinted china silk klmonos en-
broidered in self tones are charming
and soft, for they, like 80 many of the

thinnest Of thin china silk. These have
collar which turns back fiat and
very short sleeves, the back of the

Is unlined. In pink they suggest
spring blossoms.
In this very thin china silk may also
be purchased dainty waists made sail

are of striped gray and white china
silk. At about the same price come
plain white china silk waists with high
collars. Marquisette waists for sep

OF the many things which interest the visitor
at Laysan the great number of birds and their
absolute fearlessness perhaps the most strik-
ing. DR.. Fisher Of the Albatross expedition, writ
ing of his impression Of the enormous number
of birds, has very truly said:
"The effect Of this at first was nearly over
towering Where we made our way through the
populous colony of sooty terms we had to exercise
much care to avoid crushing their eggs and
treadlng on the birds which struggled panic
stricken before us with the old ruse Of broken
wing, and then, taking fight, swarmng over our
heads. If we would converse 1t was necessary
to shout.
Turning toward the center of the island, we
were obliged to cross a wide with tall grass
and completely honeycombed with the burrows Of
petres. Through the roofs Of these tunnels the
pedestrian is continuously breaking sinking in
the soft soil up to the knee. From out Of the
shadows of the tussocks young albatross,
couth and awkward. snapped their beaks at us,
and occasionally losing their balance from over
haste fell forward on their chins. This proceed
ing usually made them actually sick
Few of the adult birds, however seemed
frightened, and with the exercise of little care
were able to approach most species as close
wished. 1t was certainly gratifying to
walk up to an albatross or BOBBY and watch It
feed its young and to record this domestic duty
with the camera"
More than two dozen species Of sea- land and
shore birds frequent this island in great numbers
during the year They do not all breed at the

White Net and coIored HatIsto.

Some Of the newest dresses for mid
summer show combinations of white
net and colored batiste. The sleeves
and under-arm sections of the waist
are made Of net, as we'll as the upper
portion of the skirt. Embroidered
panels of light blue batiste in English
eyelet pattern are used from the
waist yoke to the bottom edge Of the
skirt.

the panels. other dresses showing a

colored model is made of pink wolfe
with embroidered patterns worked out
in white linen floss.

The single ostrich feather, uncurled
and more or less heavy, is mounted
very cleverly on the smartest of mid
summer dress hats. Two models

THAT coNsoLING CUP OF TEA
Traveller lie Wise Who Provides Her
self With Materials for Making the
Cheering Beverage.

In travelling both at home and
abroad, there is great comfort in your
own cup OF tea. On the steamer par
ticularly, you miss your own brand,
and the well-versed traveller who is
wise In the lore of creature comforts
never wanders far from home without
her tea caddy. 1t adds greatly to her
popularity, too. ooh, II l only had a
good cup of tea" Is the general cry
on shipboard, and then this far-sight-
ed woman produces the cheering
leaves, and she becomes the center of
attraction, and has her little coterie
every afternoon. There are some who
prefer It for the morning meal, too, in.
stead OF the usual mediocre coffee with
condensed milk.
For this poignant need of the travel
er, a. charming little tea box of ma
hogany containing small silver tea
caddy and little tea ball, reproducing
in miniature tea kettle, has been put
upon the market. 1t is very simple in
arrangement, compact, and easy to
pack and makes a really practical
gift.
There are many places on the con,
tinent where good tea Is real luxury,
and many an unsophIsticated Amer
lean is astonished when she pays her
bill for what she considers a very
simple repast. She finds that her cup
of tea costs more than a very elabo-
rate dessert, and 80 It is a great econ

own tea with you. =

same time; in fact, some of them, as
the plover. the curlew and the turn
stone, do not breed on the island at
all. Nevertheless. the island was liter
ally covered from center to sea with
breeding birds, mating birds, and
young half-grown fedglings of dozen
or more species.
With such an astonishing popula-
ton, numbering perhaps twice the In
habltants of Greater New York, 1t was
to be expected that study OF the
situation would reveal a method In
their distribution. Generally speaking.
the various species were grouped in
more or less well defined colonies. AS
a rule, these colonies had = lied on
certain localities that seemed to suit
their fancy or convenience. There is a
constant coming and going at Laysan,
different seasons of the year would
find different species predominating In
the bird population. while other spe-
cies that at another season would be
equally as abundant might not be
found there at all. But visit this ISL
and or any one of the chain when you
will, enough interesting material for
volume on birds can be gathered in
an hour or two on shore.
One Of the many curious birds Of the
island, the albatross, Of which there
are two species, is of the most general
interest This is due in part to their
splendid size and part to their unusual
domestic habits.

LEGISLATURE TO
ELECT SENATOR
It Is Also the Duty of the
Law Makers to Elect the
Governor of the State at
This Session.

Concord N. H., Dec. 30.-When the
day after tomorrow the lawmakers Will
face one of the most puzzling situa-
tons in the history of the state. As
soon as they have organized for bust
ness they will be called upon to select
q governor to succeed Governor Robert
J.. Bass, whose term is about to expire.
In the November election none of the
candidates for governor polled the ma
jority vote as required under the con-
stitution, and the choice of the COVER
nor therefore devolves upon the legis-
lature. In addition to selecting gov
ernor tho legislature Will name a Unit
ed States senator to succeed Senator
Durham, whose term will end next
March.
Whether Democrats or Republicans
will be selected for the two high Off
ces to be filled by the Legislature is a
matter that cannot be foretold with
certainty. The Legislature is apparent
~ Republican by narrow margin. The
Progressives, however. claim Al OF the
Republican members, and are pledged
10 act independently. This gives them
the balance Of control, ana leaves the
result in doubt.
The senatorship is the problem in
which most interest is manifested. The
avowed Republican candidates are for
mer Governor Henry L. Quinby and
Rosecrans w. Pillshury, editor of the
Manchester Union. Henry f. Hollis
and Clarence +. Carr are the Demo-
cratic candidates for the senatorial
toga Governor Robert r. Bass is re-
garded as receptive Progressive cam
didate. Many look fer deadlock over
the senatorship.
The problem of the goyernorship is
expected to present fewer difficulties
IN its solution. In the election Of
Nov. 5 the Democrats made sweeping
gains and all but succeeded in land
ing their candidate for governor. sam
ual d. Fellxer OF Rochester Mr.. FellSer
had a substantial plurality, but under
the constitutional provision requiring a
majority of the votes the election was
thrown into the legislature In making
their selection the lawmakers Will be
required to vote for one OF the two
leading candidates at the election, Fell
ker. Democrat, or Franklin Worcester
Republican AS Felker received the
plurality of the votes cast at the cleo
tion it is believed that many of the
Progressives viii feel It their duty to
vote for him Governor Bass, leader
of the Progressive Republicans, has
gone on record as favoring F'elker over
Worcester the choice Of the regular
Republicans.
