The all-guppy tank is one Of the very

Lie dA-6uppy tdIlk Is one OF tne very
best.
Angel fishes are displayed best in an
aquarium all to themselves, in which
their beauty OF shape and motion will
be displayed to best advantage.
Guppies, as guinea pigs, multiply so
rapidly, under average conditions, that
they soon populate even the largest
aquarium.
This slice Of aquatic life, with grand
father guppies and young guppies SWIM
ming side by side, is one of the best
possible pictures along these lines.
Those who are keeping fishes at all
will do well to give themselves this dis
play. 1t is not really possible when
several species are kept in the same
tank. The happy family" aquarium,
as 1t is called. really ought to be reserved
for collection of the same species.
AS the name has grown up, however,
1t means a tank containing different
species, none of which will eat each
other. Often it is, indeed, a happy
family, but at its best it is rather an
aquatic hodgepodge.
The tendency in the last two years
has been away from the tank of mixed
creatures, toward the aquarium contain
ing one species. In this way the species
may be seen at its best, studied more
thoroughly, and appreciated to its full.
The spectacle, too, is better one.
What is more charming than tank
with half a dozen angel fishes in it?
Or a tank with school of small zebra
fishes.
Through such good restriction the
owner offers to all who view his tank a
spectacle which is absolutely natural,
just as he would see it in nature, if he
could peer through the water of tropical
pool or stream, and see a group as they
swim together.
While not all these small animals
School together in the usual sense of
that term, they mainly tend to live to-
gether, for biological reasons, and to
seek each other out.
1t may be argued that such a picture
is more natural, in a few square feet,
than one showing a variety of species,
most Of them naturally to be found con-
tinent apart.
Such a mixed tank, Of creatures COL
lected from pools in all the continents,
is rather museum spectacle than any
thing else. 1t is not natural, because
in nature these particular species would
never be found together.

A number of guppies would so be
found.
A number of angel fishes would
Hence the tank which shows such a
spectacle. in little, is giving perfectly
natural 'set up" and one which some
how satisfies a great deal more than the
conglomerate mixture commonly called
the happy family aquarium.
Keep both angel fishes then, and
guppies, if you are interested in them,
but be sure to keep them separately.
Let us warn the newcomer against
feeding guppies to other fishes. 1t is
not in keeping with conservation. The
guppy, despite its commonness, is too
fine a little fish to be used as food.
Nature may use such feeding methods,
but the heart of man at times rejects
natures ways, as far as possible. and
this is one of the reflections. Do not
use guppies as fish food, do not give
other species of fishes chance to so
use them.

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES E. TRACEWELL,

There are few recreations in which
there is such a pertinent admonition as
there is in the hobby Of keeping small
tropical fishes in home tanks:
do not try to keep guppies and angel
fishes in the same aquarium"
They simply do not mix-that is, If
the owner wants to keep the guppies
alive.
The trouble is that they mix" only
too well-the angels eat the guppies,
and that is the end of them.
Eat them head-nrst, splitting out the
tail end.
Nature in the raw, indeed!
1t is curious thing that the beginner
in the aquarium hobby almost invari-
ably wants to keep guppies and angel
fishes together.
The very difference in size ought to
warn him, but he is so charmed with
both species that he desires them both
Usually he has but one tank.
What more natural thing, then, that
both creatures live and swim in the
same water?
The angel fish, so-called, Is the unusual
thin fellow with the black stripes. His
shape is unique among the 200 or more
species now kept in small tanks through
out the world.
His mouth, the amateur thinks, is not
big enough to swallow guppy.
AS with so many fish mouths, it Is
capable of large extension. both for
ward and from side to side.
Big enough, in almost any case, and
even when the angel fish has a body no
larger than fifty cent piece, to engulf
the head of medium sized guppy
An angel with body the diameter OF
a silver dollar will be able to swallow
the largest female guppy, whose length
seldom exceeds an inch and half.
bodies no larger than dime, and quite
as thin, will be able to consume baby
guppies, or even small males and females
Even when guppies have grown to the
age and size when mating is possible
among them, they are still easy prey
to very small angel fishes.
The latter are deceptive creatures.
Although their normal motion in a tank,
ullleSS 1IlSLlcilcu, Is SLOW SllQe, CIley
are capable of the greatest speed
At the first smell of live food" in the
form Of guppy, one of the angels is
able to make headlong dart, and seize
the poor fish before it knows it is
threatened.
Some fanciers keep largest sized
guppies with smallest sized angel fishes,
SO that when the young of the guppies
are born tmost people now know that
the guppy is what is known as ''live
bearero the angels will have food pro-
vided for them by nature.
This is not to be recommended, for
when the larger fishes grow just little
larger they will eat up the parent guppies,
too.
Except under conditions seldom at
tanned in tank, guppies and angel
fishes should never be kept together.
The chances are that they will not
be together very long.
So why try?
The truth is that each of these fishes
deserves tank all to itself.

The Presidents Message.

President Roosevelt's message to Con-
gress yesterday was penned at a time
when production and employment in
this country is on the decline. This was
new experience for the President, who
took command when the country was at
the lowest depths of the great depres-
sion. In the past he has been able to
refer constantly to gains rather than
losses. And the present recession can
not be attributed to an earlier admins
tration.
With courage and frankness the Presi-
dent did not seek to evade the issue of
business recession. He admitted it and
called for cooperation on the part of
business and the Government to bring
1t to halt. If there is to be the needed
kind of action, however, the co-opera-
ton must indeed be on both sides. There
must be real change of heart of the
administration toward business and of
business toward the administration. It
Is not a breathing spell for business
which is needed. There must be some
real assurance that the hand of the
administration-heavy indeed-iS not to
be applied in more and more regulation
and control.
The President pointed out in his
message that conditions are not the
same as those which existed in 1888 and
earlier Basically he maintained, the
country is sound, along with the country S
banks. On the other hand, while the
country is not exposed to the danger
Of overeXpansion of brokers' loans in
stock market that lowered and collapsed,
the loans of the United States Govern
ment are enormous. They represent the
huge public debt. 1t is all the more
encouraging, therefore, to have the
President promising that the Federal
budget for the fiscal year 1889 will be
sent to Congress with the proposed ex-
pendltureS balanced against the revenues.
The message was far more conciliatory
than have been some of the messages
delivered to Congress in the past. For
that reason, rather than because of
specific pledges contained, the message
was regarded as reassuring Skeptics
will continue to withhold their final apr
praisal until the implied promise to aid
business has been written into concrete
form. They still view askance the
Presidents continued insistence upon
the fout principal items of his legisla-
tive program-the wages ard hours bill,
the crop control bill, the Government re-
organization bill and the regional plan
ming bill. There was in the message
only a continued demand that these
measures be passed without delay. All
OF them are extremely controversial.
The President clearly implied that
there is to be revision of taxes, so that
unjust taxation" shall be removed.
More particularly he spoke of relieving
the small business man and the small
business from oppressive taxation. If
there are unjust taxes, however, they
should be removed from business, what
ever its size. There is, too, a quality
IN unwise taxation that is just as serious
as the quality Of unjust taxes Unwise
taxation hampers business expansion;
puts an end to it, and forces stagnation
or contraction. The needed tax reforms
should be applied to the current years
taxes-not the taxes of some future
year. Business needs this relief now
not some time hence.

Mocking Bird.
We listen to the mocking bird,
So faithful and so shy.
He sings the melodies we've heard
In memories gone by.
In patient sweetness he conceals
The griefs that drift away,
And sings along. as earth reveals
The pleasures of today.
He knows no rule collegiate
To regulate his song.
He waits for tunes to congregate
And gayly sings along.
He loves them all, both great and small
The strains so fondly heard.
The sweetest singer, after all,
Is just mocking bird.

PAID GOLFERS SPLIT ON NEW
 IA CLUB RULE
U. s. c. A. Edict Silly" Says Guldahl, Open
 Champ..Test Tomorrow
By STUART CAMERON United Perss Sports Edltor)

Coral Gables, Fla, Dec. 0-(Up)- 0olf's newest controversial ruling limiting a player to l4 clubs-gets It's first major test tomorrow when 200 of the nations best tee of in the annual Miami giltmore $l0,000 open championship.
 While the rule does not become golflng law until January 1, 1888, the BIltmore tourney committee or. dered Its enforcement in this event just to furnish an early laboratory test.
 Acres of the tourney circuit are sharply divided in their regard for the rule. Ralph duldahl, National Open champion, and defending champion of the Biltmore title, is the most outspoken opponent of the rule. duldahl thinks it is "silly to make any such arbitrary ruling" Another one of tho antrS Is the vet. eran Wild Bill Melhorn, of Chicago.
 "fiell, why i4P" he asks. "Why not seven? That's enough and I've got to do c lot of thinking to figure out enough clubs to make my bag aS heavy as the others"
 Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa,, Ar. genuine open champion objects to tho rule "because 1t might craTnp the style of some future super.D Bobby Jones or super.Walter Hagen" Pc. ard said he likes to carry more than i4 clubs 80 he cor switch when scor- ing poorly.
 The rule, adopted by the U. 8. Golf Association to lessen the bur. don of the caddie and to place great. or emphasis on skill, also has drawn the ire of Leo Diegol of Philadel- phia.
 "Whoever hit upon tho number i49" he asked. "Why not ib or i7 or any other numbOr2 I think Q player ought to Do allowed to use as many as ho wants to-"
 Harry Cooper of Chicago, one Of the most consistent prize money winners, is one of the biggest club. toters. Ho often has aS many aS 90 clubs including six woods. Such Q bag weighs % pounds. Cooper takes virtually the Saine swing with oil irons. A player of his style puts an emphasis on guaging tho distance of the shot and choosing hb clubs accordingly.
 The player of tho old sehool-Mlko Brady, for oXample-rogulates dlB. taneo by length of swing, and facing of club. Brady used but seven clubs when ho tied Walter Hagen for tho National opon title in 1910.
