A good many of the smaller, shore, haunting and freshwater dwelling sorts of fishes produce very few eggs, yet all that are necessary to insure the continuation of the race, because they place them in a more or less secure place, make sure they are' fer- tilized, and then protect tliern against enemies, Such are known as nest - builders, and their care and customs are in many eases remarkable and in- teresting. All who have had experi- ence with aquariums carried beyond a pair of more or less unhealthy goldfish know the sticklebacks, the males of which construct, in crevices of rocks, or among water -weeds, ela- borate muff -shaped breeding homes' made of small sticks and plant -frag- ments woven together with glutinous .threads spun from an organ connect- ed with the kidneys, writes Ernest Ingersoll in the Montreal Weekly Star. In such a nest the female then deposits her few and relatively large eggs, which are zealously watched and brooded by her fierce little mate. This case is nearly paralleled by some of the European • gobies; and also by that curiosity • of mid -ocean, the sargasse-fish, which spends most of its life resting upon the floating gulf -weed of the sea. Here it glues together, by means of a pasty secre- tion from its body, the twigs and leaves of a single plant of the gulf- weed (Sargassum) into a sort of bag, within which large numbers of eggs are hung by silky fibres like clusters of grapes. Somewhat similar is the precaution of the gouramies and the paradise -fish of Oriental waters, which form a floating raft of bubbles of air and mucous blown froth their mouths; in this raft the eggs are en- tangled and float about, guarded by a male ready to light all comers un- der any rules, The tiny paradise- fishes, gaudy, amusing and hardy, are among the most attractive of aquar- ium pets. Another sort of floating raft, com- posed of bits of weeds, is constructed as an incubation float for its thou- sand or more eggs by one of the great mormyrs of the Nile and its tribu- taries. This is a big, strange -looking beaked fish, often depicted do the an- cient monuments because it repre- sented a group venerated by one sect of the early Egyptians. The natives of the region carefully avoid these nests when met with in a river, for i• the owner will attack anything that approaches his property, and can bite cruelly. WATER UNDERGROUND. Nearly One -Third of Total Volume of the Oceanic Waters. The quantity of water under- ground, beneath the crust of the earth's surface, is nearly one-third the total volume of the 'oceanic wat- ers, according to estimates of Dr. Chester A. Reeds of the American Museum of Natural History, who has just completed investigaticns of bur- ied rivers and caves. The earth's ground water extends to great depths, perhaps six miles, and has been accu nulating for count- less ages. This great mass of water percolates slowly through the porous and jointed rocks to form great sys- tems of underground drainage, cre- ating such beauty spots as the Mam- moth ca7e in Kentucky and the End- less Caverns in Virginia. In the limestone regions where so many of these unfamiliar streams are found, the formations of huge stalac- tites, stalagmites, columns and stony curtains in the cavernous depths re- mind one of the artistic handiwork of ancient artisans on the Renaissance palaces. Underground rivers are developed sometimes beneath extrusrve volcanic rocks, the Snake Riven Basin in Ida- ho being a striking instance of this kind. Where the river has cut through the water -bearing lava beds, below Shoshone Falls, many beauti- ful springs produce a volume of more than 5,085 second -feet of ground water or an average of 3,280 million gallons a day. This is almost twiee the consumption of water in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cleve- land, Boston and St. Louis . during 1916.

Tomato Vine Grafted on a Potato Stock. A "good graft" which anyone may try, and which will reward a little pa- tience with a double erop, is describ- ed in a recent bulletin of the . Mis- souri Botanical Garden. It consists of a tomato vine grafted on a potato stock, which yields tomato fruits above and potato tubers below. The graft is fairly easy to make, it Is stated, requiring no more skill than is needed for a similar operation on an apple twig. Apparently the first one on record was made over a cen- tury ago by an amateur scientist nam- ed Ile Tehudi, who reported his ex- periments to the Horticultural Insti- tute at Froment in France. Neither partner in this double plant body seems to have any influ- ence on the other. The tomatoes are like those of sister plauts grown on their own roots, and the potatoes dif- fer in no wary from those grown in, the ordinary way from other eyes cut from the same parent tuber. Young Stanton Tagged. Putting tags on thousands of young salmon is the arduous enterprise of the Swedish fishery department der to keep a check on the wander- ings of the fish and increases in size and weight. Anyone who captures a salmon marked in this fashion is requested to forward the tag to the Government fishery authorities, naming the place where the fish was found and other data of interest. Por thisthe bureau pays the finder 60 cents., It is hoped in this manner to shed some light on the roamings of this species of Doh. 1orway h is returned to the gold standard, groom's gift to the bride was a chest of silver in Grosvenor pattern, The little flower ,girl received a gold brace- let, the pianist receiving a ring with pearl setting, Following' the ceremony a .sumptu- ous dinner was served and *as attend- ed by about sixty guests.

The ever-changing seasons In silence come and go; But Thou, eternal Father, No time or change canst know. 0, pour Thy grace upon us, That we may worthier be, Each year that passes o'er us, To dwell in heaven with 'Thee. Behold the bending orchards. With bounteous fruits are crowned; Lord, in our hearts more richly Let heavenly fruits abound. 0, by each mercy sent us, And by each grief and pain, By blessings like the sunshine, And sorrows like the rain, Our barren hearts make fruitful With every goodly grace, That we Thy name may hallow, And see at last Thy face. William Walsharn How, who gave us the popular hymns "For all the Saints who from their labors rest" and "Summer suns are glowing," was the writer of. this hymn also. Very appropriate to this season of the year it is in its strong simplicity, setting forth well what it is easy for the heart to agree with just now. A little while and we shall feel our- selves in tune with the hymns that ex- press thanksgiving for the completion of a successful harvesting. Even be- fore that time come we see and feel the change that has stolen on from summer to autumn, in the richer tints of the trees have adopted in shorten- ed days and in chillier nights, "Chan- ge and decay in all around we see,,' threatened and with inspired optom- is.m look on to ati.d long for the time when we shall be granted it to share the attributes of Him who changes not. All of that, as well as the, reminder that we too are to be fruitful in good works and in increasing righteousness as are orchads and fields at present we find expressed in plain sonnd lan- guage in our hymn. Wiiliani Walsharn How, 'a devoted lover of the outer world, a good nat- , tiralisSt, an able commentator on the sacred scriptures, a notable preacher and, a successful' clergyman, was for a time in charge of a country parish, hut was in great demand as spetiiitii preacher and lecturer. It occasioned little surprise when he waa pressed to assume the responsi- bilities of the episcopate, and to be- come Bishop of Bedford, in London, as bishop suffagan to assist the bish- op of that huge city. His well-known sympathy with working men, for whom several of his publications were intended, made his appointment extremely acceptable to the toilers and poorer people,in East London, and while he was popular with his clergy to whom he always aspired to be a judicious elder broth- er, he was emphatically what every one of the bishops might well aspire to be, "The People's Bishop," His labors were incessant, for with indomitable cheerfulness he spared himself no pains to meet every call upon him, and very few men were so often called upon for advice by peoples in all ranks of life, His manuals of prayer for the use of the newly con- firmed, etc., and his model sermons for deacons and lay readers were used largely in many parts of the world. The preparation of his valuable lit- tie books, added to his multifarious episcopal duties, threatened at last ev- en his unusually wiry constitution,. and he was persuaded by Archbish- ops, rchbishops, Bishops and Prime Minister to re- linquish his absorbing duties, and to seek rehabilitation in the more brac- ing. atmosphere of Yorkshire, where he became first Bishop of Wakefield. There he speedily adapted himself to, his new duties and also found time for some naturalistic studies, and for the writing of hymns. Our hymn, one re- port says, was written in the autumn of the year not very long before his death, when the weight of over sev- enty busy years was pressing upon him, and the loss of dearly valued friends, brought home to him more than ever the lessons of the waning summer-like weather. ` The serenity of soul his counten- ance always reflected was undisturbed by the occurrences of his daily life, for seldom has so useful and devout a life been more clearly distinguished by sound common sense, tinctured by imagination and humor, and uninflu- enced by anything resembling false maudlin sentimentality, Bishop How passed' to his rest pea- cefully and with tranquility born of deeply reverent faith in 1897, having, been born in 1823, • The tune Hambridge is supposed to be of the. old English origin, though it, like many another,, has been driven out of common use by the modern craze for pretty melodies pleasing to the singers rather than suitable to the dignity of the words directed to Al- mighty God, in the services of His: sanctuary.
