The transportation of tropical fish to various countries is difficult and hazardous, the loss being sometimes as high as 50 per cent. Strangely enough, one of the greatest dangers to the travelling fish is seasickness! The word "aquarium" was first nsed by Phillip Henri Grosse, who in 1833, published "A Naturalist‘s Ramâ€" bles on the Devonshire Coast." The goldfish was first introduced Into Europo_ in the sixteenth century, The ancient Chinese bred the goldâ€" fish from the carp a thousand years before the Christian era. From "Tropical Fish and Their Care," by Norbert Lederer: He spoke for the artists of all time, comments Pach. "But, Piero, no one wil} see what you paint up there." "God will see it," was the reply of the artist. The great artist Piero della Franâ€" eesca had painted a band of decora tion around the choir of San Francisâ€" «o in the city of Arezza, then another series of pictures above the first, and was beginning a third still higher up.

Writing to Mr. Lucas on De. cember 12, 1923, Hugh says: | "One thing has greatly dlstressed, me.
