up and down in their double chains under

Terrified into compliance, the gang
rushed upon the two soldiers. who were
idly staring over the bulwarks into the
water. knocking them down before they
could fire their muskets. The hatchway
was secured. and then they proceeded to
knock off their irons. Succeeding in this,
they next took steps to prevent the other
soldiers below deck from coming up. The
other convicts succeeded in breaking
through the wooden bars which had been
nailed over the hatch. and came on deck.

way from the aquarium at Naples and from;
the Baltic Some time ago he asked the'
director OF the New York Aquarium TO as
sist him in testing this method Of trans
porting fish. For the shorter distances 10
had proved a success.
Professor Osburn undertook 10 do this.
Two crates, divided into eight compart-
nents each. and sixteen glass Jars OF near
" a gallon capacity were provided. Into
each Tar which was filed with water, was
placed specimen. The specimens included
a common sunfish, a variegated minnow, q
Gunner. a Beau Gregory, star coral. sea
anemones, tunicates. common shrtmps,
horseshoe crabs, a couple OF dozen Of young
Just Matched, and one so large that II could
not straighten out in the Jar, and fiddler
crabs. One by one the jars were then in
verted. with the mouth under water, so
that the contents could not escape. BY
means Of tube pure oxygen was admitted
from a cylinder containing a compressed
supply until about one-third Of the water
in the jar had been replaced by the gas.
Then the Jar was tightly corked and COW
cred with parchment 10 prevent the escape
of any Of the gas.
ALL THE FISHES SURVIVED.
Nine days later the crates were opened az
Gehlberg by Mr.. Gundelach. All OF the
fishes. despite the fact that they had had
no food IN the course OF that time, were
found TO be alive. The Beau Gregory and
the Gunner. however. died the following
day, the first doubtless because II was
tropical fish and got chilled. the tempera-
ture when the bottle was opened being 81
degrees. The cunner's death is supposed 10
have been due TO the fact that II was too
