Boss’ Gold Watch Case, have led to similar im- provements in the making of silver cases. Under the old methods, each part of a silver case was made of several pieces of metal soldered together, requiring a great amount of cutting and soldering, which softened the metal and gave it the pliability of lead rather than the elasticity of silver. Under the improved methods, each part of the Keystone Silver Watch Case is made of one solid piece of metal hammered into shape. The advantages are readily appar- ent, for every one knows that hammering hardens the metal while soldering softens it. To test the superiority of the Keystone Silver Watch Case, take one of 3 oz. weight, press it squarely in the center when closed, and it will not give, while a case of same weight of eny other make will give enough tobreak the crystal. The Keystone Silver Watch Case is made only with silver cap agd gold joints.

Y Several years agoin walking along | the half submerged fringing reef of the Tortugas group of islands, my atten- ion was attracted by numbers of great, ck, worm-like creatures that were strewn over the bottom just within the breakers, where the water was smooth. They were Holothurians, or sea-cucum- bers. Wishing to secure a large speci- men, I hauled my boat over smong them, and soon had cne more than a | foot in length in the gisss jar, or port- ;able ac um, carried for that pur- pose. Anotier was lifted from its sandy’ bed for examination, and a curious creature it was. It seemed like agreat, grotesque caterpiller, made out of leather and stuffed with water, as the handling caused it to eject two streams, of water with considerable force. Af- upon the seat of the boat, the creature had ejected actually thrown would have been a grievous calamity to almost any ani- mal except the sea-cucumber; but, cu- i iy h, they have the faculty of producing lost parts toa wonderful back in the water would soon provide themselves with an entirely new set. If we should follow up our invest tions of the anatomy of the sea-cucum- ber we should find that it breathes by what is called a water-vascular system. In the star-fish a hard red spot is seen upon the upper surface, punctured with minute holes. Turough this wa- we found th ter is strained and in, pa out into the filling the like f ucumber there a similar arr only the mad- reporic plate, ok sieve is _ call- ed, is on Tho not gourmands, starva’ in aremarkable way. long time with- out food. med about the nd deeper, unt ops off In a short time ppears and anoth 2 most re- 1 say, but mark quite it The ani , as the nd st are thrown off, so tha be so much to feed, unt ber wiil sacri its entire tosuve the mouth or head, and finally this dies, certainly after a heroic struggle. But, while we have been looking at other sea-cucumbers, what has happen- ed to the one we placed in the glass jar? Being a large animal, it soon ex- nausted the airin the water, and is now endeavoring to get out, twisting its body deliberately about to show its discomfort, for you must remember that the sea-cucumber and all other water animals require air just as much as ourselves. For a few moments the sea-cucumber writhed about ia its lazy fashion, when, all at once, out of one end I saw peep- ing a curious, delicate head. A moment later it was still further out—a transparent, shining fish, and soon, With a convulsive wiggle, it freed itself from its strange prison and swam about a moment; then it settled to the bottom. Its body was so delicate and trans- parent that print could almost be read through it, and a specimen that I have before me now, though shrunk and hardened in alcohol for several years, is still almost like glass. How did the fish get into the sea-cu- cumber? you will ask. This was, at first, a puzzie, and to ascertain whether it was accidental or not, we collected a large numer of the cucumbers, (Holo- thuria floridiana), and in nearly every of the body there will not last, the case, us secon as the animai do ex- r in our aquarium, the bausted the silvery, ke Fier: for this is the fish’s name—would come wiggling out, swim avout a moment, as it dazed ” ildered, and then = tothe sottom and die. it was evident that the fish was not eaten by the Holoth . and equally that the fish was not adapted for outside world. Hence, we assumed that the Fierasfer was a boarder in the cucumber, and such is really the case. But, though I made many experi- nents, the fish could never be induced to return to its home, though freshly :erated water was constantly supplied.’ The explanation that seemed the most tenable was that the fish never, left the holuthurian; but this was high- mprobable, and so the puzzle re- ned until it was solved by the urator of the great aquarium at Na- p.es, Ltaly. He found that his ses-cucambers were also inhabited by a Fierasfer, and by esrefuily watching them he saw the tishes come out and return. In the large tank the fishes ventured wam around, probably fed, and returned; and here is the most rem able thing about it. Instead of returning head first, as you would nat- ursily expect, the Fierasfer slipped, not its head, but the tip of its tail into the, orifice. i In a moment, the ses-cucumber re- laxed to draw in water, and the cun, g tish slipped in an inch, then rest-: another relaxation by the cucum- d another inch gained, and so‘ l, to the amazement of the Ital- . the Fierasfer disappear- within the very accommo ber, then, is a boarder in enant that not on- hout pay, but tack it when jhu This nas en proved by Prof Semper, who found pieces of the oF | water-lung of the living hotel in the er; but as we ans the power of and probably er undoubt- ken by its | | i \ { { 1 \ | | : he should be made tosuffer.

They put on their worst stock after midnignt, thinking that we are asleep. We often surprise them at lor 2 o'clock in the morning by taking out the half-dead hor: and causing a blockade of cars. ‘hey soonsend good horses. Then we have s great deal of trouble with cats and dozs, especially at this season. People going out of the city for a few weeks lock their cats in the houses, leaving them no food or water. They think the cats can catch enougi rats, and they naturally want the rats weeded out by their return. In a few days the cats begin caterwauling, and the neighbors come to us with com- pisints. We get the key of the house from the agent and liberate the impris- oned felines. «The other day one attempted to get | out of a tenement-house while the family had gone to Coney Island to give the cat x chance to clean the house of rats. The cat jumped twenty-five feet on the roof of another house, and then rolled down into hy El the water-gutter and was on days afterward the y seen, and « report was office.
