The New York aquarium probably
holds the greatest collection of rare
fish In the United States and possibly
In the world. It Is a notable exhibit.
The other day the aquarium was al-
most empty. I doubt wnether there
was a total of a dorm vlaltors In all
that big building. About four blocks
sway la a sea fond restaurant. In the
window of this place la u glass box,
about four feet long, Ailed With water.
Swimming around In It was one lonely
and very ordinary flab. Outside the
window, watching Mie Ash swim, was"*
crowd of perhaps forty persons. They
blocked traffic on the sidewalk. That a

Na-qull dipped his wings In the wa-

Na-qull had dried up most of the

This was the very place where the

knocked down a little tree. Ttie tree
lay across the stream and the rocks

It was a brave little tree and though
the river pounded It and threw rocks

New York.—Lost for nearly three
centuries, a rare Chinese tapestry, val-
ued by Manhattan art connoisseurs at

manner.
The treasure, was unearthed In an
obsenre little antique shop by Para-
mount's officials while In quest of ob-
jets d'art for a motion picture.
Unaware of Its value the antique
dealer rented the tapestry for a rela-
tively small sum.
Research experts discovered that the
piece was a genuine tapestry of the

Relics Discovered in
Ancient Burial Mound
East St. Loots. 111.—Discoveries of
bits of pottery and charred maize
which give evidence of the site of
prehistoric Cabokla village were un-
covered here recently in a mound by
the University of Illinois archeological
survey, according to Q. u. Stirling, in
charge of the excavations.
The explorations, which were
launched a few months ago under the
direction of Dr. A. R. Kelly. ,„,hro
pologtst and head of tbs university
meets the requirements of the particu-
lar situation confronting him. and. by
Inference, thst he Is able to bope with
whatever may be in store for him.
As ie the case with many other
phrases that are now uaed metaphori-
cally In everyday rommuncation, "com-
ing up to scratch" once had a literal
sense.
The phrase com** from the world
of pugilism. Years ago. before the
advent of the modern flstlc amphi-
theater, the practitioners of the manly
art so-called, engaged each other oa
the bare turf.
Tbelr fighting area was not the
roped square, which waa a later re-
finement, but was simply an Inriosure
marked off with deep scratches dug
Into the ground with any Instrument
available for the purpose. The Inside
of this Inriosure was again marked or
scratched off with lines upon which
the respective contestants would place
one foot, so coming up to the scratch
line, when prepared to advance toward
the other.
It Is from these circumstances that
there arose the expression “coming up
to scratch" to Indicate somebody who
was on the spot and ready for action,
archeological survey, and Stilling,
have resulted In the uncovering of
many pieces of pottera. charred In-
dian corn, hickory nut* and bits of
three-ply plaited rope.
According to Stirling these frag-
ment* of pottery fitted together form
elaborately designed pieces giving evi-
dence of a high-typed Cahokla village.
The things unearthed were not found

qull. “Even though It Is torn from Its
roots and M soon to die. It sings."
Through the cut bark Na-qull could
see the whUs heart ot the tree.
“What a strong heart." he said. "It
will be a better gift for my eon than
many blue beads. I shall give It to
him.”
So Na-qull stopped the river and
picked up the little tree. He flew te
the mountain where he had left his
wife and his little brown son. He hur-
ried Into the house. Tb* baby winked
