claims otherwise m Italy, 1000 miles from
the yene of the Alleged rupture. Hostile
demonstrations have been made before the

The American Legien was made up of all

glorious service abroad te change these
opinions nnd nothing te crystallize (hem

A HARRISBURG STORY
Told by the King of the Belgians
Sea Water for the Aquarium Three
Years Old Why New China
Levea Herbert Hoever
By GEORGE NOV McCAIN
KING ALBERT of the Belgians Is the
nuther of (he lntest geed story nbeut
Ilarrisburg.
It seems like going pretty far nfield for
an anecdote, but Its authorship adds le ila
Importance and piqunncy.
The incident w-ns told nt a xvemau's club
meeting in (lie capital city recently.
It will be recalled that Ills Majesty visited
llnrrisbtirg and was entertained by Governer
Spretil.
Mrs. Spretil nnd her son, Cnptnin .Tnek
Rpreul, during their recent tour of Europe
were enterlnlned by His Mnjesty while visit
ing Belgium.
Anether llarrisburg lndy, widow of n
prominent corporation attorney and nn ox ex
State official, also visited Belgium during ti
recent tour of (he Cendncnt and was ulse
received by King Albert.
He is very fend of Americans. He enter
tains (he llselle.it recollections of (he visit
of himself nnd Queen Elizabeth te (he United
Stntes.
That Pennsylvania looms large in his
memory is evident.
WHEN (he lady te whom (lie incident is
credited was presented le the King nt
the Palace in Brussels the name Ilnrrlsburg,
as her place of residence, vvns coupled with
her name.
"Ilnrrlsburg, indeed!" said His Majesty
with u smile.
"I have very pleasant recollections of
Ilnrrlsburg and Governer Spnml. I was
accorded n charming reception at the capi
tal." Then with a smile the King centinued:
"De you knew that u very amusing little
incldctit occurred during the reception? 1
was conversing with a lady during u mo
ment when Governer Sprenl had left iny
side when she inquired : 'Who is that fine
looking gentleman ever yonder? He is a
member of jmg entourage, 1 presume.'
"I wus greatly surprised at her question,
I assure jeii. 1 replied: 'Madam, that is
your Uoveruer.' ''
UTILLIAM E. MEEHAN is one of the.
leading authorities en fish In this
country.
Fer eight years he was State Cemmls-'
sieucr of Fisheries, but for years new he
has been the city's piscatorial expert in
charge of the Municipal Aquarium.
The old Fuirmuuiit water works have been
transformed into a picture of greater beauty
than ever before ns the new aqiint hlin.
Superintendent Median, who bus hnd
charge of details in the arrangement of (his
new place of education and entertainment.
Is of the opinion that It is one of lhe fore
most aquariums In (he world.
It isn't slmplv te be a free fih show.
T'ltimately it will become a practical educa
tional institution.
A biological laboratory is te be added.
At least a dozen microscopes will be in
stalled for the study of aquatic life.
This laboratory Is te be availabln for
pupils ()f the city's high schools who qunllfv
for biological work.
Besides this another room is te be
equipped for the study of marine flora nnd
invertebrates.
Director Median has only just started en
his great enterprise.
TVL ROBERT VAN DUSE.V, Mr. Mec--'
ban's assistant, gives me some very un
usual fads nbeut the practical side of the
aquarium.
The salt-water lish live, of course, in
ocean water. It is taken nt sea twenty
miles off Cape May Point.
Thev bete a hole in snnd scow, let
enough sea wuter run m, plug up the hole
and then tow the scow up the Delaware and
Schuylkill River, te the aquarium.
Here it is pumped info n receiving tank
u ud used as occ.iMeii r the fishdemand.
I lie last loud of se,, water was received
three year age and Is still in use.
Over nnd ever again the water Is ued
after being filtered successively through
sand, gravel, cocoa mntting nnd charcoal.
It is heated anywhere from (17 te 70 de
grees I ahrctiheit, for the salt-water fish re
quire this attention.
Dr. Viiu Dusen says that a supplv of sea
water will last from three te live rears
lhe ( ity of Detroit has the sea water for
its aquarium shipped from Cape May m new
oil-tank cars.
At the present lime It Is using brine that
