The professor claims to be the founder ‘of aguariums in this country, and to | have first proved whales could be transported. Tt was in 1856, i I remember rightly, that he made a successful experiment. The opinion of naturalists then was that a whale could not live out of his native element longer than six hours. | Prof. Butler, who had given much study to i whales, believed otherwise. He went to con- | sult Agassiz abont it. “How long, be asked, *‘canllkeep a whele out of water and alive?” 4 About six hours,” said Agassiz. «That is what everybody says. Can you give me nothing new on the subject?” *I now nothing further,” the Professor add- ed, but he encouraged his visitor to test the mat- ter, and was hopeful his own opinion might be disproved, whichis. not a usual thing among men. It was disproved. ~ Prof. Butler first caught his whale off the coast of Labrador, and then made arrangements to transport him. Hehired a special train, put his whaleship in a tank, kept a stream of salt water playing on Lim, and paid well for making fast time. Ten hours of travel convinced him of the correctness of his conclu- sions, and overthrew all previous notions on the giyo, and the Excitement of Meal-Time. Ministers on the Elephant---Aimee’s Suc- cess--«Why They Call It ¢“ All for Him.” From Our Own Correspondent. NEW YORE, Feb. 1.—I took Mr. Bryant’s ad- vice and went up to the Aquarium. 1 found there many curious varieties of sea and fresh- water life, admirable studies for the naturalist. The most interesting collection in any single de- partment, perhaps, was the collection of young ladics. Thesc also were admirable studies for thenaturalist. It may in some cases be confus- ing, but it is valuable no doubt to be ableto make immediate comparison between scals in tanks and scals in sacques: to note the great eves and intelligence of the one, and the owners of the other. If not, several male naturalists were in profitless employment. Some of the young ladies, I suspect, were from Packer In- knew so much, which is said to be the trouble with all the Packer girls,—pardon the irreverence! I had thought mysclf tolerably prepared for'the oceasion, what with a smatter- fng of Scth. Green on fish culture in my head, and a Zoology in my pocket. But, after catch- inga few comments which fell from sundry fair lips, I knew that conscious ignorance was in- denting decp lines on a hitherto uncorrugated brow. Ah, the fishy stories they told in an tour—morcthan I shall ever remember, be Iife npever 50 long. Ftwasa Miss of Packer, by the way, who astonished her Professor by the clas- sical conundrum: “What did Iodie of?” and as- tounded him when helad given it up, as of course he did, by the amswer: *“‘To-dide of ; potassimm.” The Miss has, however, since { graduated, and it will be useless for any young man tocome on from the West with a view to sceure her for Chicago and himself. THE BLESSED ORIGINALS. ‘There were several hundred people scattered about the building. In making the tour from the side where you confront ancmones, porgies, and sea urchins, to the opposing side, where you go in, if you wish to for a quarter-dollar, toview the beautiful and butter *Tolanthe,” I saw but one nose which told of disdain, heard but onc expression of disappointment. This one was altozether too good to be lost. The lady, who was beyond middle age and richly dressed,” labored under the misfortune of having been to Europc and- seen the aquariums at Naples and Berlin. “This is very fair— good as ome conld cxpect, I suppose, in this country; but oh! if you could have been with me at Naples!” Such was the burden of Tier song. They paused at a case containing al- fzae, live corals, and sponges. The companion admired much these singular species of an im- perceptible existence. and sald so. * Yes, to be sare,” was the langaid reply, *‘these are excel- Ient imitations, but they can’t compare with the quite fleshy, however, and with any amount of Jjollity gleaming from his eye-glasses, who heard this and came very near an apoplectic turn, I do beiieve, in consequence. It was necessary to put him on a bench in the corner, and when I came away-he was not only still there, but stiil clamping his sides as if hic were bent on squeez- ing himself into another world. It must have been the same Iady who went to the water—olor exhibit the other day, and insisted that all the ‘better paintings were copies from oils in foreign galleries, and that she never would buy what was not original. She certainly ought to buy herself somehow. EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL APPEAKANCES. Outside, the front of the Aquarium presents two stories of brick and one story of sign. ‘The roof of the main part is of 1ron and glass, something like that of your Exposition Bufld- ing, but nothing so ornate. Inslde. the view is attractive, the arrangement excellent. At your 1oft is a long row of hard cases,—that is, as hard as iron, wood, and glass zre,—containing every description of salt-water life. This row isflanked on the richt by a candy-staud, ou the left by the Latching-troughs. A second line of small tanks holds the fresh-water smaller fry, such as ‘brook-pickerel and perch, voung salmon, New York shiners, and heli-benders. The rear of the room has a huge piece of the stage- scenery order, in front of which is built a rocky and picturesque grotto for the enjoyment of the sca-lion and his gucsts. Above, and a little in front, is a rustic bridge, wherefrom the white whale was most satisfactorily seer: while he was alive and spouting, and wherefrom also the best. general view is to be had both of the place and 1liec people. Nevertheless, anxious- mothers know that the rustic bridge ought to come down. I figured it out that every chair up there was the cyeless witness of five flirtations to the hour, which is an cxtremely low. esti- mate. THE BIG TANES AND BIG FISH. The right and front walls are faced with the Jarge tanks, which show rocky recesses and rest- less residents. Here arc the sharp-nosed and the blunt-nosed sturreon, the summer skate (which ouzht to go on wheels), the spotted dog fish, the Black Sca hass, the great star-fish, and. the golden carp. Here, too, in with the Tautox and Tomeod, is Capt. Quigley. the diver, who stays under the water five bours a day, to the ‘wonder of visitors and to his own gradual decay. ‘The constant pressure of his sub-waterlife is too much for the Captain. He has already lost nearly all his hearing power and nearly all his flesh. His lungs are weakening, and some day, it is feared, wiil suddenly give way, as do those of the whale. In the centre is the tank, twenty-five feet in diameter, which was till Saturday night the prison of the white whale, which now is for the present the prison of the horrid hippopotamus. The white whaledicd. His obituary will appear Turther on. Near by this tank is that of the seals, Ned and Fannic, the favorites of all both by reason of their brown eyes ond backs, and thelr knowing ways. Sitting places are pro- vided in every part oY the building. Statues of an indifferent character are variously placed, mostly aloft where they find a broad band of rustic woodwork for background. The effect, on the whole, is Tairly artistic, which is very de- sirable in an institution so largely visited by the young: *And, looking upon the Aquarium as a school, it would be well for the superintendent o revise the written explanations posted on one ortwoof thecases. Itishardly advantageous to have puplls see *against™ divided on the second ‘s “displayed” on the “p, or “careful ” on the #r”’; or to sec misspelling like ** compas * in 50 prominent a station. A CHAT ABOUT WHALES. . The superintendent, Prof. Batler, gave me 80 account of some of his experiences with whales. Prof. Butler, I may say incidentally, andertook the establishment in Chicago, sixteen 7ears or 50 220, of what soon became known as subject. The whale stood the journey so well, indecd, that less hurry was made thereafter, anddn one case a young whale was subjected to two days’ experience on the rafl without appa- rent injury. LENGTH OF LIFE AND CAUSE OF DEATHL. The tank-life of a whale is almost as brief as it must ke monotonous. One lived cighteen months, but that was an exception. The aver- age would be nearer six months, and the young white whale that died Saturday was tank-aged but four. The cost of getting them, Prof. But~ ler says, is between §5,000 and $6,000. But even at this expense, and with so short lease of life, the whale is npaying investment. The cight- cen-month survivor brought over $2,000 a day into the treasury of his owners. That, how- ever, was when Boston never before possessed a leviathan, and all the city went out to sece. To estimate the drawing power of one. attraction among so many attrac- tions is mnot ecasy; yct the whale is much relicd op, and a successor to the late lamented will be carly sought. The quick de- cease is attributed to the close confinement and necessarily small body of water. If the price of real estate would allow a four or five acre reser- voir and this could be joined tothe salt water, a young whale fishery might be established on laud. Thisisonc of those possibilitics of the future, like Mr. Strakosch’s millian-dollar opera-house. Consumption kills the whales. ‘They live, as dissection shows, till their lungs arc completely gone. To quote the Professor, they eat onc minute and dic the next. There is noiovalidism about itn The huge bulk comes to the surface. The crowd looks to- see the “blow.” There is none, and the huee bulk sinksagain, The whale is dead. WHALE BIOGRAPIY. The white whale was plunging and spouting fn lively style Saturday afternoon. At 9 of the evening he bad a collapse. The musicians were plaging a Struss waltz at the time, but the collapse was attributed less to the effect of this than to a change in the temperameat of the water. There were a few straight dashes across the tank instead of the usual circle swimj the water foamed from a sudden lashing, which scemed to be the death spasm, and the young whale was no more. A consultation of physi- cians and post-mortem followed next day, the remains were embalmed Monday, and at present. the dead whale can be jnspected much more at pleasure than the live whale ever was. This nameless subject of obituary was caught off Labrador by Capt. Zachariah Coup. Near the mouth of a small bay where whales feed, a tank was sunk and a net stretched across the outlet when the tide was high. At low tide the whales made for the open sea. Meeting the net as an obstruction, and following it in scarch of opening, they would naturally accept the deeper waterof the tank as the desired escape-hole. In went a youngster, down went the big lid, and the prisoner was made. When the tank had been brought to laud the whale was trans- ferred to a flannel-lined Dox, allowed a constaat stream of salt water, and brought Dy rail to this city. Here his life, though brief, was not unmarked. Despite the murky character of the water in which he moved, he was thecentral figure in a large circle of admirers. He received more attention ten thousand-told than was given Mr. Tupper, and not even the marvelous gentle- man who sticks dageers into himself like pins into & cushion was able to draw spectators from the great tank. Nor did this whale kuow what 1t was to want. While thousands were in pov- erty that has daily hunger, be had his forty pounds of cels per day. Tears may have rolled down his cheeks at thoughts of his ocean home, but it is believed he never suffered an hour from indigestion, and never knew his scientific name. TROM INDIA AND JAPAN. ‘The flying foxes were aslecp, as usual. They fold themselves in their brown silk wings, hang ‘head downward by means of their tail-hand, and sleep till meal-time. The Packer girls poked on¢ of them with a paper, and, when he came out of his wing to sce what was the matter, greeted him with the chorus, *Ob, what a pretty mouth he has!” At this a slender young man with cardinal haudkerchief, who was look- ing through the ease from theother side, grow very red in the face, and the girls—why, they laughed, of course. These foxes, or India bats, are curious creatures, and the only two ever brought to this country. In eating, they take the solid food,—fruit, boiled rice, or tender meat,—by onc of - the hind feet and the claw of onc thumby then, half hidden by the wing, and ‘hanging to the perch with the other foot, they press the food into the upper regions, soto speak. « The Japanese Kingiyo, or triple-tailed fisn, is one of the seven which collectors have suceced- ed in transporting to America, after many vain attempts. The vessel started from Japan with cighty-cight of the. species, and got to Balti- more with seven survivors. The fish is in shape like our golden carp. Its Drilliant color and wondronsly soft, wavy tail, of the tint and fineness of richest lace, arc the result of vears of breeding, more years than any but a Japan- ese would devote to such work. THE EXCITING TIME for both animals and audience is meal-time. Then the sca lion appears in his upper cave and deftly catches the fish flung to him for his dim- ner. A gong sounds, and away goes the crowd to sce Fanule, the scal, tapping a hand-bell for ‘Ned, the scal, to join herin the feast. Fannic is ruler of the tank, and extremely jealous. If the keeper bestows any spare attention on Ned, Fannie Dbestows on Ncd asound spat. Poor Ned! he submits. He has learned his place, and no matter who calls for him, no matter what inducetnent is offered, he keeps in. the back- ground. Every bride who comes to New York on a tour should take her husband to the Aquarium and to the seal tank. He'll read the whole thing, and the lesson is effective. More exciting, however, is the trip of the Hippopotamus around the building. Without bridle or bit he follows his trainer, while ladies seek refuge on the benches, steam pipes, anv available place, and “Oh, the horrid creature,” resounds from every side. Well, he isn’t very handsome; and it is fortunate he does not care much what is said about bim. He is almost as contented, nowever, as the crocodils sleep almost aslong. There issomething in that. 3 GOOD-BYE, AQUARITM! I bave held solong to the aguarium, partly begpuse of interest in the subject, partly be- csuse Prof. Butler thinks Chicago will have one of its own before many years. Several proposals to that effect have been made and discussed by zentlemen here, and I 'know not how many by others in Chicago itsclf. Prof. Butler says there isno city where be should so much like to es- tablish such an institution.- After thst let him do the same for San Francisco, and his ambition would be filled. Hisidea regarding Chicazo would be to locate not in the centre of affairs, but more in the outskirts, where plenty of room could be obtained, and a place provided that should iovite excursion parties—a sort of grand #ood’s Museum, Col. Wood purchasing the | garden arrangement, perbaps, With museum and menaserie and aquarium combined. Then the original lady will change the burden of her song to, * Oh, you should have been with me at Clicago!” MINISTERS ON TAE ELEPIANT. The Baptist clerzy of New York and vicinity arc going to buy an elephant. They never ex- pect to sce the clephant, mind you; they buy him simply. * It appears that the coolics and Mussulmans in the Gharo country in India have learned how to ®strike.” They engage to transport a missionary, get him in the depth of the wilderness, and stop. To g0 on again re- quires moncy inducement. This system is not only against the missfonary’s principles * and purse, but retards him in his work. If he had an clephant the coolics and Mussulmans might #t strilce,” stop, and stay there for all he need care. 'The elephant would go on just the same. There was some question about this. The brethren wanted to be assured that the clephant would not “strike” also. So assured, a subseription was started, and Dr. Keefe will soon bave his free transportation company established. Tt costs from $400 to $500to buy the beast. and §3.25a month for his keeper. For food the elephant ‘himself looks out. A JOB AT LAST. Now that the warm, sunny, sloppy davs have come, there is nofurther need of law tosuppress the uncmployed. They have all been sct to work. They arc stationed on every street cor- ner to watch the ladiesas they cross, and re- port to headquarters any who are suspected to ‘e without the red balmorals. That no report has yet been made must not be talen to imply unfaithfnlness on the part of the watchers. Neither they nor anybody else can be held re- #pousible for the prevalence of a fashion. THE OPERA BOUFFE. Aimee appeared at the Eagle Monday night ULefore the most brilliant audience that theatre ever held. Up-town was represented as well as middle-town, and no marvel that Maurice Grau walked about in his new clothes o5 chirp and cheery as a cricket. After a good deal of gen- eral bad fortune and seedincss he has made one hit at least. Aimec was at her best, but the support was at its worst, and the worst she ever had. Whether with such a cotlection of non- artists a scason of six weeks canbe passed through successfully remains to be seen. A fellow-manager says Maurice will pawn those new clothes yet, but that may be jealousy. $ALL FOR HIM.” There is an exciting point in “ All for Her,” wherc a young villain of an actor—all in the play, of course—attempts to kiss a young inno- cence of an actress. In the exact moment of this peril Hugh Trevor,hero, leaps to the rescue. The effect of this incident is not alile on all parts of the audience. It may bave been fancy; but it secmed to me the other night that sev- cral ladies looked provoked, und thought the hero had better let the young villain go one step further. At the same time a voice whis- pered loudly, *Call this ‘All for Her 72 Oh, no; it’ 11 for Him.’”” And in other respects than the kissing scene the comment is true. It is not only a play at Mr. Wallack’s theatre, it is Mr. Wallack’s play,—and he knows how to play it. H. G. STEAM. Detallsof the Plan by Which Mr. Helly Will Heat the City of Lockport, N. Y. Netw York World. « We have heretofore alluded briefly to a plan devised by Mr. B. Holly, of Lockport, to heat that city by steam. The Lockport Union sup- plies a more extended account of the proposed experinent, and it is so curious that it will be read with general intcrest. It scems that a number of substantial citizens of Lockport have formed a company under the name of® the ¢ Holly Steam Combination Company, Limited,” ana nave elected a Board of Directors, in which Samucl Rogers, D. F. Bishop, I. H. Babcock, F. N. Trever, B. D. Hall, and 4. M. Southworth are assoctated with Mr. Iolly, and the experi- ment is actually to be made under the following estimate: : Estimated present cost for coal, wood, kind- ling, labor, repair of stoves and furnaces for warming the following district, in the City of Lockport. being about one-half mile square, bounded 28 follows: East by Washington strcet, south by High street, west by Saxon street, north by Caledonia street, including the foliowing: Fonr hundred and seventy-ivo dwellings at $100 each (for fael and labor).... ...$ 47.500 Ooe hundred and fifty storcs at $125 each. 18,700 Two hundred and fifty offices and rooms (over and nbout the stores).... ... . 12,000 Twelve churches at $400 cach (labor and Ten hotels at $700 each, four schools at 600 cach, onc opera-house...

E Six ateam beilers and fistures Lot for building xnd coal-yard Tncidentals. s vevveeses Total... o Mr. Holly has written a book forth fully his plan for supplying stcam for neating and doing all the various machine labor of cities and villages, domestic, mercantile, manufacturing, ete. e says: 1In cities or towns of from 3,000 to 8,000 inhabi- tants, wherc the main business portion does not exceed onc-half mile square, one_sct of.boilers, lncated near the centre of the place, with pipes leading out in four directions. will do all the work. 1f the city is one milc square, fonr setsof hoilers will be necessary. The main pipes that teave the boilers will be four-inch, and will diminish to 3, 21z, 2, 1%, and one inch at the extreme end away from the boilers, the mains of four-inches contin- Ilin{;«la the usc along the lines may demand. The main nipes are placed ahout four fect below the surface of the carth. The iron pipes are first covered with asbestos, and then put in wood pipes two inches thick, leaving a space for confined air between the asbestos and wood. The outside pipe keeps all water and moisture from the steam-pipe and prevents condensation. The pipes, both wood and iron, are put down in Iengths of two feet, when they terminate in hollow, upright posts, firmly securcd in the carth. The upper part of this post is arranced ro as to receive the ends of the steam-piper through stufling-boxes to allow the pipes to expand and_contract without moving the post. The posts are also arranged &0 a3 to re- ceive the cnds of the service-pipes either with or withont expansion joints. The service-pipes are not taken direcily from the mains, but from the* hollow supports, thusallowing them to be attached or detached from the support instead of passing through_the outside wooden pipe to cnter the steam-pive, which could not be done because the stcam-pipe expandsand contracts, while the wooden pipe docs not.. This overcomes onc of the most im- portant objections to the use ol long lines of nun- derground steam pipes, when branch’ pipes are to be taken off. Another objection has been conden- sation. This the asbestos reduces about three- fourthé, and the air-space and wooden pipe will reduce it still furtner. Tests made during the month of July, with very small pipe, prove that steam may be carried throagh well-protected pipes for a mile, and then be more _cconomical than any otner system. But it is thought that 1,200 or 1. 500 feet each way, making a half-mile square, is abokt all that need be furnished from one location. This, cven in a city with a population of 1,500, wonld include ncarly all tne business places, hotels, churches, and schools. Buildings further out could de reached by a single line of - small pipe. Steam can be manufactured on a large ecale for oue-fourth the cost that it can on a small scale, for warmine a single dwelling or block. You can sto the expense at any time Dy turning the eteam-coc in your house, whereas in the use of a private boiler, when vou shut off the stcam, combnstion goes on just the eame. ‘There is about 150 cubic fect of hot air per minute lost through the chimney. TRE COMING AGE OF STEAM. Xew York Frening Post. ° Tt has been somewhat more thana year since the Evening Lost tirst suegested the propricty of hicating towns and cities Ly steam, the steam to be furnished to househollers by 2 company, preciscly as gas is already furnished. When we made this surgestion, and pointed out the de- sirability of its adoption, we had little doubt that in due time some company would act upon it, but we had little reason to expect that prac- tical measures would follow as speedily as they have done. The company which is about to undertake the work of sn]pplrlnz heat to the houses, churches, factories, shops, and oflices of Lockport, N.Y-, has adopted preeisely the plan which the Evening LPost suggested, and the men who are engaged in the enterprise hare so little doubt of their suc- cess that theywill begin by building an adequate sct of works at comsiderable cost. There is really no problem to be solved in the matter, no experiment to be made. The problems were long ago wrought ont in the heating of large public buildings, inns, and factories by steam, and the new application of the principie differs from the old one in ways which favors its suc- cess- One set of workmen is required for each battery of boil's, whether the work of the bat- tery IS to heaty ‘single building or a dozen blocks; and, i§team heat is_cheaper than any other, when aglied by individual effort-to sin- cle bulldings ¢ considerable size, the saving must be muchireater when o single -set of workmen-atte{ the boilers that furnish heat to all the hous within an area of half-a-mile s%nrc. : here is roo, for the adoption of this pla, prolitably, hetin New York and Brooklyn, and the time is prjitious for beginning now, While labor is clmal:‘}hue the weather is cold, and while houscliders are keeuly alive to the an- noyances of fiimaking and fire-maintenance in their d\vcllmE There isno good reason for postponing thmatter to await the result of the Lockport undtaking, as the use of steam in thisway is in 1 proper sense an experiment. Once fotrodud in these citics, steam will soon become as mu a matter of course as_water is now. The Brirets and Gretchens, whose first questfon nowjt the preliminary couference which preceddheir engagement has reference to stationary ts and other modern. improve- ments, may sq insist also upon having steam heat, and langrds may find it impossible to Iet houses inthich this latest modern im- provement haaot been introduced. We: shall then live in a nl age of steam. e p———— | PHOTOGRAPH.
