Limerick Treaty

The Treaty stone, mounted on a
pedestal at one end of ThomOnd bridge
in Limerick, is supposed to be the fiat
stone on which the treaty Of October
13, 1891, was signed, ending the siege
of Limerick and the war between the
forces of William III and James IL.
One of the clauses of the treaty was
understood to grant the Roman Cath
0lics of ireland the free exercise of
their religion and another clause gave
them the right to keep their property
on taking oath Of allegiance. These and
other provisions of the treaty were vio-
lated by the victors. so that in Irish
history Limerick is known as the City
of the Violated Treaty.

Glass Fish From India;
Skeletons Are Visible

Glass fish are usually less than two
inches long and the body is about half
as high as it is in length 1t is very
thin and, although it has a yellowish
tint, this coloration is so slight and
the body tissues are so pale that the
fish's skeleton is plainly observed from
the outside, along with its silvery
swimming bladder.
Even though the natural habitat of
the glass fish is salt or brackish wa
ter, it adjusts itself to fresh water con.
ditions when placed in the fish tank.
They are found in Bengal and Balu-
chistan and it has been said that they
breed in rivers above the reach of tidal
waters. Their only attempt at colorful
adOrnment is bit of blue at the edge
Of the dorsal fin, but this is difficult
to notice in either sex.
When these fish do spawn in the
aquarium they deposit their eggs
among the fine leaves of floating plants.
The eggs are very small and usually
hatch in about twelve hours. The fry
are deeper bodied than the adult fish
and have three dark lines across the
body. Whether it is unsuitable water
conditions or some other cause, the
young fish usually die before they are
very large.
There is another glass fish known as
Ambassis commersOni. It comes from
Africa and is little longer than its
relative from India. Specimens have
been caught in salt water but it is prob
able that they pass much of their time
in fresh water.

sparta of Century Ago

About century ago the site of an
cient Sparta, capital Of Laconia, was a
scene of busy activity. The Greek war

otto souls were stimulated by the. emo
tons of victory to dream of resur-
rected city in the Peloponnesus. Baron
Jochmus was enlisted to prepare he
signs, and glorious metropolis was
anticipated. But the enterprise was
destined to meet with but little sue
cess. Today, observes writer in the
Washington Star, Sparta is only a
small town, the capital of nothing but
prefecture and the post office address
of no more than seven or eight thou
sand people.

She couldp't stand there and

seemed to be going.
The sight stirred Sue. Sudden

hand meant something. She could,
II she wanted, go to the races!
Presently she found herself In
the subway before the ticket win

her shoddy bag for the change. She
picked up the ticket given to her

The train filled and started.
When Sue looked around again
there was a very good-looking man

quite absorbed in a racing sheet.
He noticed her and said: Lovely

BY the time the train had reach
