The perplexity of Deacon Phishphan! Has it ever happened to you?âF. R. Webber, Chicago Aquarium Society. â¦â Philadelphia Exhibition The Annual Free Exhibition of Aquaria and fishes under the auspices of the Goldfish Fanciers' Society and The Aquarium Society of Philadelphia will be held in Horticultural Hall, Fairmount Park, October 6th, 7th and 8th. This is the biggest event in the calendar of the aquarist and attracts thousands of vis- itors. The coming show will far surpass those of former years. The finest gold- fish in the world, the beautiful exotic or tropical fishes, aquatic plants, new and unusual types of aquaria, and various in- structive features designed to help those not familiar with things aquatic will be shown. Entries may be made by anyone, whether a member of the Philadelphia societies or not, subject only to a possible limitation of space should the number of individual exhibits prove unexpectedly large. Information as to entries may be obtained from the secretary of the Exhi- bition Committee, Fred Richardson, 3841 North Marshall Street, Philadelphia.â R. L. Harding. The first autumn meeting of The Philadelphia Goldfish Fanciers' Society will be held in Saull's Hall, 802 West Girard avenue, on Wednesday evening, September 19th. Annual public auction sale of fishes donated by members. Come prepared to give and buy!âFred Rich- ardson, Secretary. In the July issue appears an article on mosquitoes. The author erroneously blames the male for the blood-sucking. As a male, I protest. The male mosquito, if he eats at all, is a poor, harmless veg etarian. It is the ferocious Amazon of the species that causes all our trouble. As the mosquito is a good argument of mine against Woman Suffrage, I trust you will make the necessary correction.â Dodoichthys. Don't judge a man by his coat or a ham by its canvas cover. The chief value of nature study in character building is that, like life itself, it deals with realities. The experience of living is itself a form of nature study. One must in life make his own observa- tions, frame his own inductions, and ap- ply them in action as he goes along. The habit of finding out the best thing to do next, and then doing it, is the basis of character. A strong character is built up by doing, not by imitation, nor by feel- ing, nor by suggestion. Nature study, if it be genuine, is essentiallly doing.ââ David Starr Jordan.
