It will be astonishing to see the variety of objects brought up by a successful haul. Small fish, newts, tadpoles, mollusks, water-beetles, worms, spiders, and spawn of all kinds will be visible to the naked eye; while the microscope will bring out thousands more of the most beautiful objects. A very different style of appearance and of objects distinguishes the Salt-water or Marine Aquarium.

It's the biggest of all the water-beetles and very harmless."

But by this time Francis was dipping the colander in and out on the opposite side, and she was left to struggle with the Water-Soldier.

In order to make sure of not introducing carnivorous water-beetles into a water, I think it best as a rule not to introduce beetles at all. Corixæ are, however, so like beetles, that many people call them beetles, and therefore I will give a few points which will make them easily distinguishable from each other.

They know that fishes live under water, and that many insects like May-flies and caddis-flies and water-beetles live sometimes in the water, sometimes in the open air; and they cannot know you do not know what it is which prevents a bird's living under water.

You are better, Punch, or you wouldn't drink like that;" and he carefully lowered the boy's head as he ceased drinking. "Yes, and though I can't hear you, you have come to your senses again, or you would not look at me like that. Ah, I forgot all about them!"

Then there was all the mysterious life of the streams; the grey-backed fishes that threaded the dim waters, the eels whose presence was betrayed by a slight quivering of the water-plants, the young fry, which dispersed like blackish sand at the slightest sound, the long-legged flies and the water-beetles that ruffled into circling silvery ripples the stagnant surface of the pools; all that silent teeming life which drew them to the water and impelled them to dabble and stand in it, so that they might feel those millions of existences ever and ever gliding past their limbs.
