THOUSANDS OF SUBMARINE CAPTIVES
Food for SIS Different Species of
Fishes mad Water Animal Dl
t tribated Dally A Remark.
bio Nuieiu,
The New York aquarium Just now Is one
of the city's most popular and Interesting
how places. Over 2,000 submarine captives,
representing 213 different species of various
Ises, strange and unfamiliar In shape ami
brilliant In coloring, disport themselves lu
the 100 wall tanks and spacious floor pools,
forming a never-changing panorama of
deep-sea life, the largest to be seen any
where In the world.
Nearly .IA dally, or, In round numbers,
1,616,770 persons the last year passed through
Its doors to study and view these live wond
ere of nature. The attendance is probably
not equaled by any other Institution In the
world. The present director. Mr. C. II.
Townsend. has carried on Important sclen
tiflo researches for the government, espe
cially la the Ashing and fur sealing In
dustries. He Is recognised as the leading
authority on these and kindred subjects re
lating to marine life.
Two years ago the aquarium was turned
over to the management of the New York
Zoological society. Many innovations have
been Introduced, which now afford the most
palatla1. and up-to-date borne for exhibiting
fishes In existence.
One of the busiest places in the aquarium
which Is not generally seen by visitors Is
the fishes' kitchen. Here, from morning
until the middle of the afternoon tho
steward Is kept hard at work preparing the
dally menu for the vast crowd of pisca
torial boarders. All of the food Is first
class, and Is kept fresh and cold In a largo
les chest, and when ready for use Is placed
In various tin receptacles. Several attend
ants devote the best part of the afternoon
to serving out the rations.
The food Is varied to suit the slxe of the
specimens, and consists of beef (sliced.
chopped or minced), liver, Ash (cod and
avarrUig uosU)-aod olaius. Ail ths fish In
the markets are headed and eviscerated be
fore use. TBe cod and herring are halved,
the backbone deftly removed with one
sweep of the knife. The rest of the flesh
Is cut Into strips of different lengths. In
summer a great deal of live food, such as
minnows, marine angle worms, small crabs
and crustaceans, such as sand hoppers. Is
UBed, being better for the collection In gen
eral. In winter marketable foodstuffs are
largely consumed. A special collector Is
kept busy the year round foraging In ad
jacent bays and ocean shores to keep the
Ashes' larder well stocked. The average
board bill for the aquarium's guests for a
month la 1100.
Some New Arrivals,
Among the chief specimens of the aqua
rium at present, from Its size as well as,
from the fact that It Is almost new to the
general eye. Is the curious sea cow, or ma
natee, from Lake Worth, Florida, probably
the only one In captivity. The animals In
their wild habitat are very shy and cau
tious, disappearing Immediately upon ap.
proach. Owing to their peculiar tropical
habits, they are given special treatment
and care, such as a suitable warm temper
ature, between 70 and 72 degrees, for the
water of their pool and a sufficient quan
tity of nourishing food. El grass and let
tuce leaves strongly tempt their appetite.
The former, however. Is used In more
abundance when obtainable; a bucketful Is
usually given for a meal.
The manatee Is a female, eight and one
half feet long, weighing 600 pounds, and was
captured by "Alligator Joe" at Palm Beach
In a large drag seine of extra strong ma
nlla hemp made for the purpose. Numer
ous attempts were made at different times
for a mouth, and seven manatees escaped
and broke through the net before one was
Anally obtained. The female was placed
about June of the last year In a tlle-llned
pool, twenty feet long by thirteen feet wide,
with a depth of four feet of water. The
latter Is renewed nightly.
The feeding of the animal is watched with
unusual Interest by the visitors. Mr. W.
Do Nyse, with a suspended handful of eel
grass, can coax the manatee to rase her
head and neck completely out of the water.
Sea cows have a peculiar structure, hav
ing no front teeth, hind limbs or hip bones,
but a huge heaverlike tall. Their bones are
said to be the heaviest known among mam
m;il. The best view of the creature Is
obtained when the water Is drained from
llie pool for tank cleaning, when the whole
i form la strikingly ouUuiod against the
white tiling. The home of the sea cow In
the United States is limited to the Indian
river lagoons of the east coast of Florida.
Other species are found In various tropi
cal regions. In captivity they live seldom
longer than Ave or six months, but the pres
ent specimen has survived nine months.
The care and express transportation on
such a large Individual Is considerable, and
almost equals Its sale value, A huge tank
was constructed and Ailed with Just enough
water to float the massive body.
The sea horse Is probably the only Ash
with a prehensile tall. He uses this In a
monkey-like fashion, constantly anchoring
hlmsejf to weeds, stones and sticks. The
position of the body Is usually vertical,
especially In swimming. They are found all
along the American coast, from Cape Cod
to South Carolina. There is, however, one
remarkable feature about them, little
known generally. Contrary to the rest of 1
the animal world, the eggs while hatch
ing are carried by the male In a pouch, and
the young are said to return to this for
shelter. Hundreds, probably thousands, of
baby Individuals are thus -transported
around by the paternal member of the fam
ily in his strange Incubating pocket, while
Mrs. Seahorse, released of care, roams
fancy free.
The clever maneuvers of the two little
harbor seals from the Maine coast come
In for a great share of the popular inter
est. One of these was shown at the
World's fair at St. Louis. They ars hearty
eaters, and devour strips of cod and her
ring for their luncheon. These are usually
thrown Into the pool, but are oftentimes,
when the seals come high on the platform.
suspended over their beads for a moment
and then eagerly snapped at. The seals
are rapidly disappearing from our coast.
Owing to their ravages on the Ash many
of the New England states offer a bounty
of from $1 to 13 for their destruction In
order to protect the Ashing Industry.
DlOiealtles of reeding.
The nine-foot alligator from the Florida
keys Is one of the most reluctant and Ir
regular feeders. Several days, and even
weeks, will pass without his taking any
food. He Is roused from stupor by being
punctfed with a pole. His anger Is shown
by growling, accompanied by opening his
ponderous Jaws a foot or mors, when the
attendant swiftly lodges a big Ash. which
Is held in readiness. Into bis mouth. He
wss captured by "Alligator Joe." Alli
gators are new searc and difficult I at
tain, owing to- being extensively hunted
for their leather. New York Herald.
PATIENT PLODDERS GET THERE
Prises of Life Are Less to the Swift
Than to the Persistent
Worker.
A wide outlook upon life tells us that the
prizes of life are less to the swift than to
the patient plodders. Looking back upon
his long career with his students, Mark
Hopkins once said that If the brilliant boys
carried off the recitations, the plodders
carried off life's prizes.
Every college-bred man can recall Illus
trations of this shrewd observation. The
student who was universally admired ws
the one who lingered on the campus with
the field sports until the last moment, then
rushed to his room, flung down his cap,
snatched up his book, glanced at the lesson,
thought like lightning, drew on his reserves
In answering questions, and, drawing out
the professor, who did the real reciting, and
so gleefully making a "brilliant recitation."
Just beside him was another student, who
had tolled half the night over the same
lesson, mastered every Jot and tittle, but
who blundered In telling what he knew
and was marked a grade lower than his
superficial fellow.
Then when twenty years have passed the
plodder is the employer, trusted, honored
and successful. The first youth did not
gain the heights by his sudden, brilliant
flight. The second reached the height,
climbing In the night while the other slept.
The history of men of achievement Is
the history of persistent plodding. Gibbon
writes his memoirs nine times. Newton
rewrites his chronology sixteen times. Ad
dison collects three volumes of reflections
before he writes his first paper for the
Spectator. Turner made 80,W drawings
and ended with his "Slave Ship" and Im
mortality. The great words are purpose
and perseverance. Blessed Is the; youth who
can say, "This one thing I do," and who
understands ths other Injunction to hold
fast the chosen purpose.
The rewards of persistence Justify this
emphasis. The husbandman sows his seed
and tolls on, and persistence reaps the har
vest. The scholar opens his books and tolls
on. and persistence reaps fame. The re
former attacks the evil and tolls on, and
persistence destroys the evil. The force
that U constant will always overcome
the force that Is less constant. Indeed,
there never lived a man who came to any
thing who lacked this quality of pertinacity
and adherence.
How is It that the mountain climber
reached that summit of 23,000 feet? Plainly
by going on and on until his foot was on
the last stone and the whole earth was
under his feet.
The , motto of David Livingstone was In
these words: "I determined never to stop
until I had come to the end and achieved
my purpose." When Livingstone's work
In Africa was done the dark continent
was mapped out and spread fully before the
merchants of the world. He crossed Africa
four times and marched for days up to his
armpits In water, endured twenty-seven at
tacks of fever, was surrounded with ene
mies on every side, faced mutiny, poisoned
arrows, wild beasts, the bite of serpents,
but never gave up. By sheer dogged per
sistence and faith In God he conquered,
acting as If he thought his body was as Im
mortal as his spirit.
Young man, hold fast to your purpose.
If trouble rains blows on your fingers grip
your work the harder. If you are utterly
.worn out, sleep, and then smilingly lift your
burden and climb' on. Difficulties are chal
lenges to character. Even your success Is
but a place where you are to encamp for
the night. When morning comes march on.
Be not content to get forward, try to get
up. Never let go of your work, never give
up your Ideals and never desert your duty.
And when the end comes, as It will, though

A LESSON IN HOSPITALITY
Schoolma'ams on a Stalled Train
ChalU Ip Twelve Meals
to the Company.
"Twelve schoolma'ams from Chicago,
debtor to Santa Fe railroad, for soup,
steaks, chops, potatoes, tomatoes et al 2I."
The "et al" in this account Is to be taken
seriously, although one waiter who served
the schoolma'ams Insisted on Joking about
It In a dismal sort of way.
"They near et al, foh a fack," he Bald.
The Identity of the schoolma'ams Is a
secret with the railroad. All were passen
gers on the Santa Fe train from the west
due to arrive In Chicago at 8:47 o'clock
Tuesday evening, and were on their sum
mer vacation outings after a school year
spent In Iowa and Kansas.
Consternation fell on the contingent when
the train stopped midway between Nixon
and Fort Madison, la., and it was explained
that, because of a washout, fun her prog
ress toward Chicago would be delayed In
definitely. The distress was accentuated by
a summons from the diner.
"Breakfast is now ready," was the call
of the wild.
The twelve confided In one another.
"I can't afford to eat In the diner," said
one. "I'd figured on railway station lunches.
In fact, I'm nearly broke. And here we
are, 'way out on the prairie."
The others made similar confessions. It
was decided to pick wild flowers instead of
eating breakfast. The party had left the
train when a broker from Wichita, Kan.,
named Walter H. Ward, came forward with
a helpful suggestion.
"Better go in the diner and get a swell
meal before you start out," he advised.
"You know In case of a delay the railroad
company stands treat for all the eatings "
The twelve learned upon Mr. Ward and
rushed for the diner. They Inspected the
menu cards closely and critically and they
ordered from it exhaustively and apprecia
tively. The waiters were Impressed. They
thought they were catering to a lot of
Equitable stenographers.
When the meal was finished there were
no tips. Neither was there any money In
payment for the checks which the waiters
presented.
"It's on the railroad, you know," ex
plained the youngest school teacher, pleas
antly. Then the twelve rose and waUud out of
the diner. The waiters overcame a desire
to faint and pursued the twelve to the
prairie. In vain they demanded payment.
Kindly but firmly they were Informed thut
if the railroad did not settle the bills the
accounts would remain unsettled. The only
concession obtained was the nameB of the
twelve, affixed to the order cards.
These cards, it Is understood, were turned
In to the superintendent of dining car serv
ice when the train finally reached Chicago
Wednesday morning. Thut the Santa Fe
will see fit to make use of them, except us
souvenirs. Is considered improbable.
It Is not of record how the twelve ap
peased their hunger between breakfast time
Tuewday and their arrival In Chlcugo. Chi
