The Baptist clergy of New York and vicinity are going to buy an elephant. They never expect to see the elephant, mind you; they buy him simply. It appears that the coolies 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 go on again requires money inducement.

This system is not only against the missionary's principles and purse, but retards him in his work. If he had an elephant the coolies and Mussulmans might strike," 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 elephant would not strike" also.

So assured, a subscription was started, and Dr. Keefe will soon have his free transportation company established. It costs from WO to $500 to buy the beast. and $3.25 a month for his keeper. For food the elephant himself looks out.

A JOB AT LAST. Now that the warm, sunny, sloppy days have come, there is nofurther need of law to suppress the unemployed. They have all been set to work. They are stationed on every street corner to watch the ladies as they cross, and report to headquarters any who are suspected to be without the red balmorals. That no report has yet been made must not be taken to imply unfaithfulness on the part of the watchers.

Neither they nor anybody else can be held reeponsible for the prevalence of a fashion. THE orERA Bourn. Aimee appeared at the Eagle Monday night before the most brilliant audience that theatre ever held. Uptown was represented as well as middle-town, and no marvel that Maurice Gran walked about in his new clothes as chirp and cheery as a cricket. After a good deal of general bad fortune and seediness he has made one hit at least.

Aimee was at her best, but the support, was at its worst, and the worst she ever had. Whether with such a collection of non-artists a season of six weeks can be passed through successfully remains to be seen. A fellow-manager says Maurice will pawn those new clothes yet, but that may he jealousy. ALL FOR lust." There is an exciting point in All for Her," where a young villain of an actorall in the play, of courseattempts to kiss a young innocence of an actress. In the exact moment of this peril Hugh to the rescue.

Tne effect of this incident is not alike on all parts of the audience. It may have been fancy, but it seemed to me the other night that several ladies looked provoked, and thought the hero had better let the young villain go one step further. At the same time a voice whispered loudly. "Call this 'All for Her Oh, no; it's 'All for And in other respects than the kissing scene the comment is true. It Is not only a play at Mr.

NEW Tfotta, Feb.

took Mr. Bryant's advice andsvent up to the Aquarium. I found there many curious varieties of sea and freshwater life, admirable studies for the naturalist. The most interesting collection in any single department, perhaps, was the collection of young ladies. These also were admirable studies for the naturalist.

It may in some eases be confusing, but it is valuable no doubt to be able to make immediate comparison between seals in tanks and seals in sacques: to note the great eyes 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 Institute, because they were so bright and knew so much, which is said to be the trouble with all the Packer the irreverence! I had thought myself tolerably prepared for the occasion, what with a smatter-lug of Seth Green on fish culture in my head, and a Zoology in my pocket. But, after catching a few comments which fell from sundry fair lips, I knew that conscious ignorance was indenting deep lines on a hitherto uncorrugated brow.

Ah, the fishy stories they told in an hourmore than I shall ever remember, be life never so long. It was a Miss of Packer, by the way, who astonished her Professor by the ciessieal conundrum "What did Io die of and astountled him when he had given it up, as of course he did, by the answer: "Io-dide of potassium" The Miss has, however, since graduated, and it will be useless for any young Mil to come on from the West with a view to secure 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 anemones, porgies, and sea urchins, to the opposing side, where you go in, if you wish to for a quarter-dollar, tovicw the beautiful and butter "Iolantne," I saw out one nose which told of disdain, beard but one expression of disappointment.

This one was altogether too good to be lost. The lady, who was beyond middle age and richly dresseAl, labored under the misfortune of having bees to Europe and- seen the aquariums at Naples and Berlin. "This is very fair good as one could expect, I suppose, in this country; but oh! if you could have been with me at Naples!" Such was the burden of her song. They paused at a case containing algae, live corals, and sponges. The companion admired much these singular species of an imperceptible existence, and said so.

Yes, to be sure," was the languid reply, "these are excellent imitations, but they can't compare with the originals at Naples!" There was a little man, quite fleshy, however, and with any amount of jollity gleaming from his eye-glasses, who neard this and came very near an apoplectic turn, I do believe, 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 still clamping his sides as if he were bent on squeezing himself into another world. It must have been the same lady who went to the water-color 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 APPEAttANCES.

Outside, the front of the Aquarium presents two stories of brick and one story of sign. The roof of the main part is of iron and glass, something like that of your Exposition Building, but nothing so ornate. Inside, the view is attractive, the arrangement excellent. At your left is a long row of bard is, as hard as iron, wood. and glass every description of salt-water life.

This row is flanked on the right by a candy-stand, on the left by the hatching-troughs. A second line of small tanks holds the fresh-water smaller fry, such as brook-pickerel and perch, young salmon, New York shiners, and hell-benders. The rear of the room nas a huge piece of the stage-scenery order, in front of which is built a rocky anti picturesque grotto for the enjoyment of the sea-lion and his guests. Above, and a little In front, is a rustic bridge, wherefrom the white Whale was most satisfactorily seen while he was alive and spouting, and wherefrom also the best general view is to be had both of the place and the people. Nevertheless, anxious mothers know that the rustic bridge ought to come down.

I figured it out that every chair up there was the eyeless witness of five flirtations to the hour, which is an extremely low estimate. THE BIG TANES AND BIG FISH. The right and front walls are fated with the large tanks, which show rocky recesses and restless residents. Here are the sharp-nosed and the blunt-nosed sturgeon, the summer skate ought to go on wheels), the spotted dog fish, the Black Sea bass, the great star-fish, and the golden carp. Here, too, in with the Tautog and Tomcod, is Capt.

Quigley. the diver, who stays under the water five hours 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, will 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 whale died. His obituary will appear further on. Near by this tank is that of the seals, Ned and Fannie, the favorites of all both by reason of their brown eyes end backs, and their knowing ways. Sitting places are provided in every part ot 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 tair'y artistic, which is very desirable in an institution so largely visited by the young. And, looking upon the Aquarium as a school, it would be well for the superintendent 4o revise the written explanations posted on one or two of the eases.

likes-100 Sou Clark-tit 265 West Madison-st. 136 illinols-st. Ortinrm rreilvi, I returnNi by e.cpre,,,i. 37.480 Mr. lolly has written a book in which he sets forth fully his plan for supp13ing steam for nesting and doing all the various machine labor of cities and villages, domestic, Mercantile, manufacturing, etc.

Ile Says: In cities or towns of from 3.000 to 8.000 inhabitants, where the main business portion does not exceed one-half mile square, one set of boilers. located near the centre of the place, with pipes leading out in four directions. will do all the work. If the city is one mile squat four sets of boilers will be necessary. The main pipes that leave the boilers will be four-inch, and will diminish to 3, 9,4, 9 1.

and one inch at the extreme end away from the boilers, the mains of four-inches coutinuing4s the use along the lines may demand. The main pipes are placed about four feet below the surface of the earth. The iron Pipes are Bret 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 pine keeps all water and moisture from the steam-pioe and prevents condensation. The pipes, both wood and iron, are put down in lengths of two feet, when they terminate in hollow.

upright posts, firmly secured in the earth. The upper part of this post is arranged so as to receive the ends of the steam-pipes through etulling-boxes to allow the pipes to expand and contract without moving the poet. The posts are also arranged so as to receive the ends of the service-pipes either with or without expansion joints. The service-pipes are not taken directly from the mains. but from the hollow supports, thue allowing them to be attached or detached from the support instead of passing through the outside wooden pipe to enter the steam-pipe, which could not be done because the steam- pipe expands and contracts, while the wooden pipe does not.

This overcomes one of the most important objections to the use of long lines of underground steam pipes, when branch pipes are to be taken car. Another objection has been condensation. This the asbestos reduces about three-fourths, and the air-space and wooden pipe will reduce it still further. Tests made during the month of July, with very email pipe, prove taut steam may be carried through well-protected pipes for a mile, and then be more economical than any Other system. Bat it is thought that 1,200 or 1.500 feet each way.

making a half-mile square, is aboet all that need be furnished from one location. This, even in a city with a population of 1,500, would Include nearly all toe business places. hotels, churches, and schools. Buildings further out could --e reached by a single line of small pipe. $team can be manufactured on a large scale for one-fourth the cost that it can on a small scale, for warmine a single dwelling or block.

You can to the expense at any time by ternine the steam-cock in your house, whereas in the use of a private boiler, when you shut off the etcam, combustion goes on just the same. There is about 150 cubic feet of hot air per minute lost through the chimney. TnE COMING AGE OF STEAM. New Fork Erening Post. ft has been somewhat more than a year since the Eeening Fast first suggested the propriety of heating towns and cities by steam, the steam to be furnished to househollers by a company, precisely as gas is already furnished.

Nilien we made this suggestion, and pointed out the desirability 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 practical measures would follow as speedily as they have done. The company which is about to undertake the work of supplying beat to the houses, churches, factories, shops, and oilices of Lockport, N.Y., has adopted precisely the plan which the Evening Poet suggested, and the men who are engaged in the enterprise have so little doubt of their success that they will begin by building an adequate set of works at considerable cost. There la really no problem to be solved in the matter, no experiment to be made. The problems were long ago wrought out in the heating of large public buildings, inns, and factories by steam, and the new application of the principle differs front the old one in ways which favors its success- One set of workmen is required for On Sunday Evening, Feb.
