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 a ‘ . _ flgliisiiiiéitl ii lilinucilnsn . blnuiriuro lioniroyul .

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Thousands of persons from foreign lands visit Pisa each year, chiefly in order to see the tower which leans but does not fall.

The mans name was Galileo. “You claim," said Galileo to other teachers, "that iron weighing twice as much will fall twice as fast. Now I am going to prove that you are wrong." ‘ Galileo let the two weights fall at other year, guarded by the keepers of the island lighthouse and the "ghost" crabs which swarm the sands.
