LECTURES ON GOLDFISHBEFORE SCHOOL PUPILS

J. Henri Wagner Explains Humaneand Proper Care of Aquatic

Animals.

As one of the steps in a campaign to

insure the humane anil proper care of

gold fish and other aquatic animals, J.Henri Wagner, ex-secretary of the

Aquarium Society of Washington, todaygave a lecture on "The BalancedAquarium or 'House Pond,' " before theteachers and children of the SeatonSchool. He demonstrated his talk withan aquarium which was complete andanother which he equipped before his

auditors.One of the principal objects of the

campaign is to abolish the old-timenarrow necked aquarium, which is consideredinhumane for the fish, in viewof the fact that it does not permit sufficientoxygen to combine with the

water. This can be brought aboutthrough education more effectivelythan through regulation, in the opinionof those in sympathy with the movement.Therefore, lectures on the subjectare Xo be given to children in variousschools. Practically every schoolin the District has at least one aquarium.Pointing out the interdependence of

animal and plant life, Mr. Wagner explainedthat the plants absorbed thecarbonic acid gas thrown off by thefish, and at the same time gave offoxygen which the fish and other aquaticanimals drew from the water.

Sand Has Two Uses.He also explained that sand in an

armarium has two bier uses. The fishuse it for keeping their gills clean andin good condition, he said, and it isalso of use in keeping the plants inplace and holding their roots.

Daylight is essential, the speakerexplained, but although it should comedirectly from the sky, should not besunlight. The sun magnifies throughthe glass and overheats the water tooquickly at times, killing the fish. Italso aids in the growth of green scumor algae.Food should be given to the fish

early each morning, and in the same

part of the "pond." In addition to the> cy fish, little dace minnows, tadpolesand snails should be placed inhe well balanced aquarium. Mr. Wagnerpointed out, as these eat the surplusfood and keep the amount of dirt

in the globe at a minimum. One snailshould be provided for each fish, hesaid, and one tadpole or pollywog foreach five gallons of water.

Should Be Kept Clean.

Special attention should be paid to

keeping the aquarium clean, he saidThe sarid used should be clean and

pure; should be washed until all finedust is removed, and then should beallowed to stand over night in a bucketinto which boiling water is poured,he said. Dirt accumulating in the bottomof the aquarium should be removedonce a week without fail bymeans of glass tube or syphon. The

the way down to the sand two or threetimes a week.With the aquarium well balanced, no

attention need be given it beyond thatmentioned, except for changing thewater once in several months. Onegallon of water should he allowed foreach half-inch of the body of each fish,exclusive of tail.When the fish arc in poor condition,

the speaker explained, which can benoted from the fact that the dorsal or

top ttn lies close to the body and doesnot stand up straight, half a teaspoorifulof salt dissolved in a cup of watershould be placed in the aquarium. Ifthe fish continue unwell, it should beplaced for a few minutes twice a dayin a ionic made by dissolving a teaspoonfulof salt in a quart of water.

WAS IT WILKES BOOTH'S BODY?

A Question Baised as to the 1865Identification.

To 11k- Editor of Til.. War:In The Star of February l&ifi, apJpeared'anarticle by tiie late Dr. John

Frederick May entitled "The Mark ofthe Scalpel," in which he stated thatbecause of the "strong doubt that thebody brought to the Washington navyyard was that of the man who hadassassinated the President, a commissionof high functionaries of the governmentwas formed to obtain evidenceas to its identification." Desiring to complete this record, I wroteto the War Department, asking for thethe names or the "high functionaries,"but they replied their files showed norecord of such a commission.As I understand, the only names of

persons summoned to identify the bodyare those of government employes. Dr.May himself, after positively pro.nouncing in the negative, and beingtold "to look again," based his identifiication on a scar several years old.Dr. May also says the right leg of thecorpse was almost black because of abroken bone, when it was Booth's leftleg that was broken, as proved by theslit boot marked "J. W. B." seized atDr. Mudd's and now in. the War Department,and which is for the leftfoot.Can any of your readers sunolv the

names of the "hiffh functionaries"?MARGUERITE DL" PONT LE£.

School Officials Believe Amount forthe First Week Will Be Particularly

Heavy.

Wednesday probably will be desigInated as the first day for the collec-uwii m uiu papers ana magazines iron,

the public schools of the District ofColumbia for the benefit of the fund forschool playgrounds and other socialactivities.livery day has meant the addition of

papers to the pile's of the children whoare collecting them, and it is believedthe first week of paper collecting willbe a particularly heavy one. In fact Itis understood that a number of the

youngsters have so many papers collectedat home that they will not beable to carry all of them to school on

ja single trip. j"Grown-Ups" Are Still Helping."Grown-ups'' still arc helping also.

In many cases adults have communicatedwith the school officials, askingthat some young "paper saver" be sent

to their homes to get the papers whichthey have been saving. Every one. it'would seem, is interested'in seeing a!large fund grow for the playgrounds,Every one seems to be more than will-ing to helt) the children,The exact use to which the fund thus

raised will be put probably will be de-termined soon. Officials of the schoolshave thus far been so busy with thework of organization and other similarmatters that they have not yet hadtime to consider this part of thescheme.Several of the officials have been par-

ticularly interested in the plan, not so

much because it will bring money intothe schools for various uses.although

jthis point is by no means overlooked.jbut because through the saving of pa-pers they believe the children will havea chance to learn thrift in a practical!manner. j

Wages and Prices.To the Editor of The Star:High wages for all workmen and low

prices for all consumers! Such a combinationis only a joke. Every raise ofwages is followed bv an increase in thecost of living. It is like trying to raiseyourself over the fence by pulling on

your bootstraps.. If the wages of allare increased in the same proportion,no harm is done, but there is no netgain even then. The great injustice is[lone when the cost of living is doublediml there is no increase for some par-tieulur class such as the employes inthe government departments. Most of:the government's work, requiring ex-

pert knowledge and skill, is done bythe classified civil service working un-ler a pitifully smte.ll salary scale adopt-2<1 more than sixty years ago.
