THE LOBSTER TANK.

&n Aquarium Exhibit That Many View With Lively Interest.

There are few tanks at the aquarium more interesting than that containing the lobsters. The lobsters there now ure uot great, like some of the wounsters that have been exhibited, but ther ara lively and in good condition, and The display of their characteristics as they move about or pavse toeat is almost startling to one unfamiliar -with the lobster in life.

Whoever has picked up a live lobster ina market and found the big claws drooping, as they will if the lobster hasn’t much life left in him, is sure to be interested when he sees @he lobster here walking off briskly on his slender legs, carrying his big claws in front of him clear of the ground and his heavy tail clear likewise. His ordinary man- ner of progression is forward, and when be turns he swings bis heavily weighted projecting ends with facility, but if he meets an obstruction or an enemy his usual way is to dart backward and per- haps diagonally upward through the water, which the lobster can do with great suddenness.

The lobster’s feeding apparatus is wonderful. About the mouth there are lots of little attachments, all the time in motion when the lobster is feeding, which slice the food off in little shreds as the Jobster holds it up to his mouth. If another lobster should come up, this lobster would know it, even though the other came up behind or at the side, and would turn to defend himself or to fight or to flee or to warn the other away.

The lobster’s long feelers be ean pro- ject one in one direction and the other in another, and with these, as he moves forward, back or sidewise, be guards against danger.

There are perhaps a dozen lobsters in the tank. In the center of the tank there is a little rock. There is likely toe be

seen upon this rock a little lobster, not

a dull, old lobster lying dewn, but an alert young lobster standing up and sup- porting easily his big claws and his powerful tuil—a young lobster ready to eat, to fight or to run away.—New York Sup.

le HER ONLY FAULT.

As I went to my bachelor chamber one night And reflected on life as I put out the light

I resolved that the clubs I would visit no more, But devote my affections to dear Isadore.

She is faultless in figure and lovely in face, Every mover ent the very perfection of grace— So confiding and gentle, congenial and swee$ That the stoics and cynics are all at her feet.

Like the wings of the humming bird over the keys

Fly her tapering fingers in Liszt’s potpourris;

She excels on the harp and the Spanish guitar,

énd her voice is soprano that reaches to fa.

fhe is witty and brilliant in quick repartees,

And she sings cavatinas with marvejous E’s,

Conversation in German and Freith can sus- tain,

And has traveled in Italy, Egypt and Spain.

All the tender emotions so scouted before Were aroused in my heart for the fair Isadore, But my growing affections are nipped in the

bud, For she will drag her skirts through the streets in the mud!

—W. H. Morris in New York Ledger.

A WONDERFUL POND.

Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by Large Numbers of Living Creatures, The water contained in a well de-

veloped, well formed eye in which the sight is not impaired, more especially where a person is farsighted, presents many eurious phenomena. Looking through an open window in daylight upon a hazy atmosphere or upon a fog such as is seen in any city, or looking to the north upon a gray atmosphere, one will see, if conditions are as above, strange disks flitting and jumping about in the eye water. It has been my privi- lege to watch these organisms for sev- eral years, flitting about in the eye water, jumping toward each other again in strife and combat, in the which the water would become comparatively clear of amobiform organisms, only to be again full of micrococci and the com- bats as above.

The various shapes of these animal- culw are surprising. Some are attenu- ated, with fine filaments. Again, others are like wee bits of fine porcelain, with little projections, reminding one of turtles hopping about. Again, others present the appearance of cyclops and daphne.

How these organisms get into the eye water is a mystery—perbaps in the water we drink or foods we eat, either

| or both. The fact that the eye water is inhabited, like all other bodies of water,

is a truth that can be proved positively, beyond peradventure, by any oculist when he may extract a diseased eye and place the fluid under the glass,

May not the accumulation of these orgauisms tu the eye water, their rapid growth and the survival of the fittest or strongest be the cause of much blind- ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation of the eye water, so called paralysis of the optic merve, cataracts and other forms of disease?

May uot numerous headaches and other pains be caused by the overac- cumulation or gro¥th of these minute organisms, in which they stop tfe cir- culation of the active principle of life in the arterial circulation or the nerv- ous forces? The same organisms are seen when looking upon drawing paper.— William W. Goodrich in New York
