Find Food Small Enough
for I25 Mites.
BY the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, May ia hundred
and twenty-five baby sea horses were
starving to death tonight in an
aquarium where food was abundant.
While their mothers ate hearty
meals, the children Of the sea went
hungry because there was nothing
small enough for them to swallow.
The quarter-inch-long babies were
born while their parents, caught by
an expedition to Mimini in the Ba-
hamas, were en- route to the John
G. Shedd Aquarium.
At home, Aquarium Director Wal
ter H. Chute explained, the tiny fish
would live on microscopic insects and
other water life.
Such infinitesimal creatures could
be captured, however, only by drag
ging nets Of finely woven silk through
the sea water. The Shedd Aquarium
has no such nets and, more irlpor.
tant, 1t has no sea.
The l25 baby sea horses, therefore
are doomed to die.
