COLONY OF SEA SQUIRTS.
Curious Form of Life with Which
Bathers and Small Boys Have
Much Amusement.
, Most of the tanks in the aquari
um have now been relined with
rockwork, says the New York Sun.
An advantage of rockwork for this
purpose is that it affords places of
lodgment for various forms of
marine life, both vegetable and
animal, which may be introduced
| into the tank either by accident or
| by design, to make a further addi
! tion to the tauk’s attractiveness.
Already in some of the tanks
here these lesser forms, either
planted or of accidental growth,
are beginning to appear; a notable
example of the last-named kind
being found in the salmon rock
flsh tanks, in which there may now
be seen, attached to the rocky lin
ing of the tank, a great colony,
some thousands in number, of
the familiar ascidian commonly
known as the sea squirt.
Everybody that has been much
about the water knows the sea
squirt, a leathery creature some
what resembling a rubber water
bottle in shape, with two siphon
tubes like stubby little slightly
curved bottle necks projecting
from its top. The sea squirt takes
its nourishment as the clam does.
It absorbs minute forms of ani
mal life of various sorts, along
with quantities of water, through
one of its siphon tubes, and after
extracting the nutriment it expels
the water through the other.
The sea squirt clings to the
rocks along shore, and to sea
grass, and it is found in many wa
ters. It may be of a dingy white
or gray in color, like those now at
the aquarium, though some sea
squirts are of a dark rich brown,
and there are others of a brilliant
red. The largest of those here are
about an inch and a half in length.
Sea squirts attain a length of two
or three inches or more.
Bathers who know about them
pick sea squirts from the rocks and
play tricks with them by collaps
ing them and so spurting the wa
ter on fellow bathers. Boys liv
ing by the water as in fishing
towns, carry sea squirts to school
with them, in their pockets, and
there squeeze the water out of
them. To collapse one m that man
ner means the end of the sea
squirt.
A sea squirt left out of water by
the receding tide might lie col
lapsed and flat, but it would be
more likely to have taken in wa
ter enough to carry it until the
tide covered it again, and it would
be most likely to be found, be
tween tides, in places where it
would get more or less moisture.
If one should be left exposed for a
longer time than usual on some
bare rock, as it might be by an un
usually low tide, it would be
burned and shriveled and de
stroyed by the sun’s hot rays.
They were probably introduced
into this tank with shrimp put
into it as food for the rockfish.
Natural Soap.
German papers report that
steps are being taken in Algeria to
manufacture natural soap on a
! lage scale from a tree known as
“Sapindus utilis.” This plant,
which has long been known in
Japan, China and India, bears a
| fruit of about the size of a horse
| chestnut, smooth and round. The
color varies from a yellowish
green to brown. The inner part
is of a dark color and has an oily
kernel. The tree bears fruit in
its sixth year and yields from 55
to 220 pounds of fruit, which can
easily be harvested in the fall. By
using water of alcohol the sepona
ceous ingredient of the fruit is ex
tracted. The cost of production is
said to be small and the soap, on
account of possessing no alkaline
qualities, is superior to the ordi
nary soap of commerce.

Pigeons as Smugglers.
A curious utilization of carrier
pigeons was recently attempted in
Belgium. This was making them
carry contraband goods into
France. For a short time 24 pi
geons were let off regularly from
the Belgian dovecot, each bur
dened with a small coil of tobacco.
They arrived at their French des
tination rather exhausted, and
doubtless glad to be relieved of
their load. In one case, however,
; a pigeon, in making the flight,
| proved unequal to the effort, foil

KEYSTONE OF 'f
Kimball Piano
STRUCTURE.
The szale of the Kimball Piano is the keystone of its unsurpassasle quality, the founds*
tion of its great musical worth, the cause of its popularity with artists and musicians. Perfect
piano scale-making is a mathematical problem figured out by sound waves to the merest fraction
of a sezond. Not all piano makers strive for perfection along this line (many making no pre
tense), but out of the few who have nearly reajhed the goal,
Kimball is Prom inent.
One of the most perfect musical scales is displayed in the zultivated human voice. Ail
inperfect scale piano is like a person who cannot sing correctly—it’s worse because all do not
Jlaim to sing. It costs money to cultivate the voice, it costs more money to perfect a piano
scale. The cost to produce a perfect Kimball scale has been no less than that of other of the
recognized artistic pianos of the world, yet because of the advantages of the largest output
from any factory, we are able to sell the Kimball at a very moderate price, quality considered
The Kimball Bystem and easy payment plan brings it within reach of all.
