A Mystery of the Sea.

Tilefish are again being caught in
sufficient numbers to become a staple
article of food in America. They are
handsomely colored fish, and very good
to eat, but thirty years ago millions
of them died in mysterious way, and
1t was thought that they thus became
extinct. In the beginning of 1882 fish
ermen and others made amazing re-
ports of having sailed through miles
of dead and dying tilefish by the coast
Of the United States. The whole area
covered by dead fish was reckoned to
be 40 miles long and 20 miles wide.
More than 1,4O0,O00,OOO fish had died.
The actual reason was never proved,
but from temperature tests it was as
sumed that a sudden chill in the water
accounted for the blight.

| dalton of the character which the child
acquires.
Habits of courteous speech, for ex-
| ample, may be mere limitations of other
peoples speech, and very different
from what the child would use If neg
lected in this regard. Yet as 1t be-
comes habit it constitutes a distinc-
tive part of the persons character. 1t
is through the little tricks of Difference
and politeness that child learns re-
spect, and it is from this that he de-
velops an appreciation for the quail
ties that we wish him to look up to.
And that suggests the second ele-
ment that enters into the character"
that can be trained or cultivated. The
comparison between young children
and adults shows us that another diff
ference in their characters lies in the
comparative instability of the child's
| likes or dislikes, and of his standards
of right and wrong. Beginning with
nearly direct imitation of what he
sees his parents do, he comes in few
years to imagine himself doing things
that he hears of others doing. When
he begins to read about the exploits
of great heroes he projects himself
into the characters of history or
| legend, and for the time being he
lives in the character that is upper
most in his interest. In this way he
absorbs from his immediate surround
ings and from his reading and asso-
ciates the. ideals and principles that
will give stability an,i c,,lor to his con-
duct--.Aat is, his character.

others. And, of course, the
brighter children are easier to
teach than are the others. But many
bright child absorbs the teachings
offered him and develops character
that is very far from satisfactory,
while among the less gifted children
are evolved useful and lovable spirits
that amply compensate for the rela-
lively feeble intellects. This is all
common knowledge; yet we continue
to be puzzled about it without making
any effort to clear up our understand
ing. Or we continue to think and to
act as thought the development of the
intellect We're of itself sufficient to in
sure suitable training of the character.
The fact is that while knowledge
may be converted into power it is in
itself very far from being substitute
for wisdom. And still more remote is
it from character. We know that chill
dren can learn knowledge; the impor-
tant question for us is, can they ac-
quire character?
When we compare an infant with an
older child and with an adult we may
see that the lack of Character on the
part of the infant means that the child
has not yet developed fixed habits in
regard to certain things, whereas the
older person has. You do not know
just what the child will do under given
circumstances, while you do know
what the grown-up will do. 1t is the
mass of habits that make up the foun-
