Sea Water.

Seven carloads of salt water which not long ago was making its billowy way toward the coast of northern Europe in the Atlantic gulf stream, arrived at Jaekson park the other day for the fish in the aquarium whose tastes, dp not run to fresh water. It was quite a task to get this water. Of a necessity it had to be as pure as possible. The United States fish commission’s steam* er Fish Hawk went out to the gulf stream and got the deep blue kind on its way from the tropics. It was pumped into huge tanks on the steamer and then traneferred into the seven tank ears w hich had been made to carry oil.
