Text Appearing After Image:
An Artistic Aquarium OvJned bj) Ernest A. Gill On a sunny morning, when I enter our living room, there in the bay window is a beautiful bit of nature, gleaming in the sunshine, and just shimmering with activity and life. It arrests the eye with a sense of its usefulness in that it pleases, and pleases plentifully. It speaks to me- in a language far more lovely than the human, of everything that is worth vxdiile in life. There are the little finny inhabitants seeming to plead for their morning meal; thrusting their snouts above the surface of the water; acting in all ways as if my intention was fully known to them. I find here as simple a demonstration of intelligence as one could wish for. I carry out my part of the arrangement by giving them their daily portion, and then begins the squabble for the minute tidbits and such a flying about, each one to obtain his rightful share, and maybe a little more; here we have ambition and wholesome rivalry, both very healthful qualities if not abnor- nially developed as is frequently the case with that specimen of so-called super- intelligence, man. \Vhen the feeding is over and the hun- ger appeased, comes the seeming endless activity of looking about their limited world to see what is needed; what is new or what requires attention. I do not understand it all, and do not try to. I only know it is good, and that the con- stant golden flittering adds to its charm.. I am satisfied to allow my little friends to keep secret their reason for doing what I have full faith is useful to them. That I can keep these beautiful little golden friends of mine, and make them happy
