In the death of Mr. Bruce. King's

- County has lost one of her grand old - men, and his

familiar figure, his beaming eye and his kind-voice will long be missed among those who had the privilege of his acquaintance.

' Physically, he was a splendid speci-

mcii-hls form erect, his step light and his face aglow. reflecting the thoughts of a noble mind, despite his more than forescorc years. Mentally, he occupied a place among the forc- most. I-lc was a calm thinker. a wide reader and a ready writer. In judg- ment. he seldom erred. Mofillly. hi5 standard was high, and by precept and example, he ever sought to in- fluence others to lead the noblcr liic. He was intensly interested in all that pertained to the 899d 0f his country- esp_ecially moral and social reform. An ardent temperance advocate, he not only abstained from wine and strong drink, but sought temperance in all things. I-le was a good neighbor, ever ready to assist where assistance was needed, charitable in his attitude towards others believing “to err is hi1- man; to forgive divine."

In the home, he and his wife (Ca- therine Cameron) were the essence cl hdspitallty and after his wife"; death, the home was kept open until two years ago, when he reluctantly ylcldcd to the wishes of his family to abandon the responsibilities of B householder.

0f a. deeply affectionate tempera.- mcnt, he was very much devoted to his family and their wives and their husbands, while he almost idolized his grandchildren.

In religious belief, Mr. Bruce was a. Baptist and a member of the East Point Church. His attitude toward life might be summed up in the words that Tennyson applied to one of his heroes: “Follow the King: Live pure

resolves ones world into a diminu- tive hollow hemisphere, filled with silence, and on all sides fading into nothingness. Ono's narrow field, however, if wisely chosen, may teem with life. “It is more than probable that long-splned sea urchins, like animat- ed caltrops, infest the place, twiddle their spines suggestlvely if one ap- proaches, or make ofl at a surprising rate of speed to shady places if dis- ; turbed. Yellow, brown or purple gor- gonians, heavy with expanded polyps, stand on every side, with an occas- ional coiled basket star close wrap- zpcd about their branches, where its nnertness completely belies its amaz- i ing power of motion. l “Large spiny lobsters, torn between clistrust and greed, from under mush- ioomcd heads of coral protrude their antennae and wave them franiicaliy over proffered food. Hermit crabs with heavy shells sit aloft on purple sea fans. With their spoon-shaped fingers spider crabs, cnsconed in safe retreats, grub off the encrusiing growth of plants and illl themselves to repietion. Others lie safely bur- ied, to venture abroad only under cover of darkness. But manifold as are the forms and habits of other creatures, and particularly of Crus- tacea, the fish fauna surpass all in number of species, vivid coloration. variety of adaptations, and, one might almost say, in personality.

Vivid Coloration

“The variety in coloration ‘of fishes is an unfailing source of delight. Whether one looks down upon them through the glassy water or whether they float into ones field oi’ view through the clrcumambi-znt haze, they provoke recurrent cxpressicns of admiration. One is thrilled as iiy the beauty of Aladdin's garden.

"Particular colors are correlated with specific habits. nod,- _for ex- ample, is almost whclly restricted to nocturnal fishes which lie hidden by day. The greens, on the other hand, characterize such species as live upon

speak true, right wrong, follow the Christ, the King—else, wherefore born?" A loyal friend of the clergy- ‘men, Mr. Bruce would tell interesting anecdotes of the various pastors who ministered at East Point, from the ‘time that Rev. John Shaw organized 1 the East Point Church until the pres- lent. The clergymen, too, could tell lanecdotes of Mr. Bruce-of how his igenerosity would impel him to go far I beyond the second mile that the min- ‘isters and their families might enjoy more of the comforts and luxuries oi.’ life—-ofttimes cndeavoring to con- ccal the hand that gave.

Of such the Great Master says: "Well done, good and faithful ser- vant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."

It, is with deepest sorrow we ali- nounce the death of George B61‘- nard, little son of Mr. and Mrs. Wen- dell Shaw of 2013 Washington l3lvd. Chicago, Iil., after an illness of only a few days, "new" as he was knllw“ and loved by all, who knew him, was an exceptionally bright healthy child and his death on Feb. 8th came as a very great shock to his loving parents. Although a. doctor W85 called in on Feb. 5 there was noth- ing at that time in the baby's con- dition to cause any anxiety. and We all felt our darling would be wcll in a. short time. The following day he played around as usual, took very much worse on Thursday, and very peacfully passed away at an early hour Friday morning, Feb. 8th. The funeral which took place from Bark- ers undertaking chapel at 2146 W. Madison 5t. was very largely attend- ed by loving friends who followed the dear little baby to Wood Lawn Cemetery where he was buried‘ on ‘Feb, 11 at 2 p. m. Deepest sympathy goes out to Mr. and. Mrs. Shaw in their great bereavement. Patriot please copy.

the green reef-flats, or swim near the surface in open water. The fish- es displaying the most vivid color combinations move in the most var- ied environments. The color o! all, in brief, appears to conform to a ia- tional and simple system of distribu- tion.

"The coloration of many of the species is changeable and may be ex- perimentally controlled. Equipped wlth divingliood one may walk about freely and thus lead carnivorous forms from point to poin: by offering them food. It is possible under such circumspmces to evoke their various color phases at will by selecting the spot to which the creatures are led, and, if desired, to observe at closest range each minute effect of their changed environment.

"The noveme -ts of herbivorous forms are not subject to quito such definite control, but one may wnllc up of browsing schools of tango or par- rot fishes, follow them about, and se- cure information with little effort. All the creatures may be photogra- phed amid perfectly natural and ty- pical surroundings with much less dificulty than might be expected. Hence encouraging progress in secur- ing pictorial record of the phases assumed by a. nu of species m, der controlled conditions has been made.”

Laboratory on Dry Tortngas Loggerhead Key is the largest isl- and in a group of eight "keys" of is- lands (cayo-the Spanish for “island") 70 miles west of Key West. Ponce de Leon, who on the occasion of their discovery captured 170 great sea. tur- tles, named the group. “The Dry Tortugas"—“Dry”, because no fresh water is there to be had save the rain as it is caught in falling; "Tor- tugas,” the Spanish word for "tur- tles." These islands, the outposts between the Gulf of Mexico and the Straits of Ifiorida, are but low bars

ing at high tide. Their combined above-water urea is less than a quar- tcr square mile.

However, it has been estimated that were the sea bottom to be elevated twenty feet, twenty square miles would emerge, the existing islands would grow much larger, and several of the group, lost within a century, would reappear. Thcsc new islands, together with the old, would form an imposing atoll, ten miles long and five widc, with three chief ship chan- nels and several smaller ones, con- necting the lagoon with the open sea.

The proximity of the Tortugas to the warmest and purest water of the _Gulf Stream, itself rich in deep sea life; the extent and accessibility of the coral, reefs, themselves teeming with life; the general healthfulness of the region; and the fact that its waters are undisturbed by local fish- eries, led the Trustees of Carnegie institution, in i903, to authorize the cstablishmeht there and maintenance of a station to be devoted to the in- tensive study of marine life.

influence of the Director

Dr. Alfred G. Mayor, one-time as- sistant to Alexander Agassiz, was ap- pointed its director. Until his death in 1922 Dr. Mayor was indefatigable in planning the work, and in secur- ing and organizing the facilities. The qualities of 'his mindhmd heart were such that he naturally supplied that stimulating and magnetic lead-

_The esteem in which ho was held by his colleagues is finely expressed in the inscription on a bronze tablet erected near the laboratory which he loved so weil-"brilliant, versatile,

But it must not be thought that these men spend all their working hours or indeed many of them be- neath the sea. There are many prob- lems that can best be studied at la- boratory tabls with microscope, and stains, and electrical devices. For re- searches in physiology, in regenera- tion, ln embryology, in cell structure and action, in the behavior of pro- toplasm, even 1n tracing the life- cycle of many organisms from egg to adult and back again, the laboratory with its ample and varied equipment is essential.

these may be obtained. His intimate knowledge of his submersed garden and of the things that are living therein is of incalculabie aid to the scientists who go to Tortugas, many for but a brief period, and who could ill afford the time it would take now to find the material they require. '

The Working Season.

The working season at the station is short-only the four summer months. For the most part, the men who accept invitations to Tortugas occupy positions of responsibility in established institutions. They can leave their oflices only in the vaca- ticn period. Again, weather condi- tions at Tortugas are not propitious except during spring and summer, for the islands lie in the zone of tropical hurricanes. Dangerous storms, how- ever are rare in the summer months.

THE LEANING TOWER OF PISA

In Northern Italy is a city called Pisa. Its chief claim to fame is that it is the home of a tower which leans to one side. The top of the tower is 14 feet more to that side than it would be if the building stood
