--.s'----------------- AQUARIUM AT MIAMI

While the land animal kingdom of the world has been so thoroughly eX- plored that only at rare intervals, to- day, is new and distinct species made known to us, very much the contrary is true concerning our knowledge of the denizens of the deep, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. In this department of geological re- search there are large areas rich Tn marine fauna still to be explored scientifically for the common good oe mankind, especially among the warm waters of the semitropic regions. Of all such regions none can compare as a happy hunting ground for scien- tist, amateur angler, and professional fisherman with the region of the gulf stream which skirts the shores of Florida.
 The most southerly city on the Florida mainland is Miami, nestling beside the lmpid waters of Bisoayne bay, and protected by a peninsula from the heavy seas ofsthe ocean in times of storm. At Miami Beach there was opened early in January an aquarium and biological labora- tory which will take rank with the great aquariums of the world.
 The Miami aquarium is equipped with 50 exhibition tanks, each with a visible area of by 6 feet. One of the glass tanks is 36 feet long, 415 feet wide, and 10 feet deep-probably the largest tank in the world In it may be shown fish up to 12 feet in length. The exhibition tanks are arranged along corridors in the gen. eral form of a Maltese cross, with a central rotunda. There are no direct openings in the corridors, the only light admitted being that from sky light openings directly over each ex- hibition chamber, so that the suns rays, Altering through the waters of the tanks, give the interior of the aquarium the atmosphere of the ocean depths. To make this illusion more realistic, the tanks are lined with coral rock, and festooned with living specimens of the wondrous flora of the ocean bed. Most people who live far from the subtropic seas. especially those in inland America, have little conception of the beauty of this combination of the colored fish of our southern waters. and the beautiful flora of the ocean. To them a visit to the Miami aquarium will be one of the unforgetable incl dents of their lives.

 Washington, September 5.-Wash- ington society likes to boast that it has solved the problem of per- petual motion, that the wheels of its complicated machinery never cease turning, that it's social season lasts from one year and to another
 And this past week has proved the boast to be a fact. With gaping holes in the diplomatic, official and residential sets. the social wheels keep merrily spinning and the end Of one dinner, luncheon and informal little party merely marked the be- ginning of another.
 At the White House the week has been noticeable for a number of in- formal little luncheons and dinners. Miss Abagail Harding or Miss Daisy" as Washington as well as Marion, O., is beginning to know her, is still a. visitor and much or the entertaining centers around her. Other house guests at the executive mansion have included MT. and Mrs. F. E. Scobey of San Antonio, Tex. The President, 1t Is remembered, was a. guest at the home of Mir. and Mrs. SCODeY dL 1Olnl lsdDcl ol nlS ItAdo trip. MT. Scobey had been a visitor once before at the White House.
 The cabinet women evidently realize they will need all their en- ergies for the coming season and are remaining out of town until the last possible minutes. The Secretaries themselves dash in and out of the city at least once a week. The Hughes alone persist in their deter mination to remain in Washington through the summer.
 Mrs. Hoover, wife of the Secre- tary of Commerce, had planned to return to Washington about the first of October, but few days ago was called suddenly home to Cali fornia by the death of her mother, Mrs Charles Henry. Her two boys, Herbert, Jr., and Allan, who were motoring with her in New England at the time she received news or her mothers illness, are now in wash ington with their father. Herbert, Jr., expects to leave shortly Tor California. where he VIII enter tnis month Leland Stanford university. Both the Secretary and Mrs. Hoover are graduates of Leland Stanford.
 The Secretary of Agriculture, MT. Wallace, left early last week for the west.
 The diplomats are drifting back to town. The ambassador of Peru ana Madame Pezet have returned ana were the guests of honor at brli- liant little dinner given by MT. ana Mrs. Frederick E. Chapin.
 The ambassador of Spain is also hack in town, Senor Riana has been ~pending a week or two at Blitmore House. the lovely southern home of Mrs. George w. Vanderbilt at Bit, more, N. c.
