He was particularly terested in the sea wall now un-| der course of construction at the, northern end of the structure and the preliminary work on this is! well under way. i The long concrete piling which is now being poured on the land! adjacent to the aquarium also in-! trigued him, especially when he/ was told that the piling would be sunk outside of the sea wll and, form a practically indestractible crawl in which will be held in captivity a number of large fish,! such as shark and jewfish =e possibly large turtle. When shown the interior Powers expressed surprise at oe number of concrete tanks for the smaller fish which are now com- aplcte with the exception. of _the. “Slate glass fronts.. Thése are all ready for installation, he was told, and will be placed as soon as thei rubber gaskets are received and: set. j Regardii Tanks ! In all of these tanks, he was told, will be constructed miniature marine gardens which will as near as possible typify the naturai habitat of the specimens which will occupy the tanks. These gar- dens, it is expected will be built under the supervision of Dr. Rob-| ert O. VanDeusen, director of the; Philadelphia Aquarium. H Another unique feature of the interior is the arrangement of the large concrete tanks for reptiles.: There are three of these, one inj .the center which is circular in shape and on either side of this running north and south are two ef oblong shape but of much greater capacity than the circular one. Bordering these tanks are concrete walled garden beds which will be used for planting flowers and shrubbery native to Key! West. Water System The pumping system, with all of the connecting lines, is ready for operation and as soon as all is in readiness the pumps can be put to work and in a brief time the} tanks can be filled with sea water! and ready to receive the. finest collection of specimens of all kinds’ found in the waters adjacent to Key West. When Mr. Powers had com-; pleted his inspection of the en-! tire structure and heard the ex-} planation he said that he was glad; he had been given the oppor-' tunity of seeing the structure and} hearing a brief sketch of it “wherever I go I will be glad to} tell of this wonderful aquarium! and hope to be one of the first! to see its beauty and grandeur when it is opened to the pub-! lic.” PROVED BAD MARKSMAN LOS ANGELES — Alfred R.

OGDEN LANDS MONSTER JEWFISH | AT PORTER'S DOCK HUGE SEA SPECIMEN eel _NEARLY 500 POUNDS, WITH LENGTH MEASUREMENT OF 7 FEET, 2 INCHES i Henry Ogden has the distine-; tion of catching the largest jew-' fish captured in the past two! years from the Porter Dock com- pany’s wharf from which many have been taken. His catch weighed almost 500 pounds. ' Yesterday, Henry decided, was; a good day for jewfish and pro- ceeded to get his lines in read- iness for a day’s sport. The line with hook and bait had not been in the water long before the strike—and what a strike it was. After a long and tedious strug- | gle the catch was brought to the dock when it was found that it was a monstr jewfish and in per- fect condition. ~ Measured this morning it, was found-to be exactly seven feet two inches long and when placed on the seales weighed 485 pounds. | Asked what bait he used, Henry | “Well, I first caught a min- now. With the minnow I caught a jack and with the jack I caught the jewfish and now the “jack” from the sale of the jewfish is in Minnow to jack, to jewfish and jewfish to “jack.” Ha! Ha! Ha!

Many visitors to the city have ever gathered in asked if there was such a collec- | tion to be seen and have been re-| gretfully informed there was not. | These visitors could not under- stand why, with such a wide field } for making such a collection, it had never been done. In the future, however, those desirous of viewing a beautiful as- sortment of the many and varied shells which are found on the is- land will have the opportunity by paying a visit to the school build- ing. There they see one of the lections ever as sembled. The shells are in an at- tractive case which was donated by the 1934 graduating class. and} are pl d just inside of the foyer of the high school building on wi | White street. While the collection is not con- sidered complete there are many specimens of varied shapes, sizes and colorings, which will delight the eyes of nature lovers. j and a complete Thursday, Oct. 4 2:00-3:00—Group games younger children. 3:00-4 :00—Field instruction for field meet. 4:00-5:00 — Instruction for Mickey Mouse Cabaret.
