In The Tropica The aquarium, d.cult to look after at home, seems even more so in the tropics. But the vivarium is really a delight here, as the variety of things you can keep in it is And it is not difficult to make, with four pieces of plate glass, some wire gauze, some sheet zine and a little wood. It is an excellent thing to cultivate minute botanical specimens in and there is a positive host of the smaller in sects and animals whose habits and ways can be readily observed in it, so that it seems rathei curious why so few people keep them. At anyrate during a fairly long residence here I have only seen two or three, and even then they seemed to be decidedly neglected.

But a vast amount remains to ba done for the modernisation of Barts, and it is imperative that large sum of money should be noble institution, which can justly be described as donated to this the mother of hospitals among the of the English-speaking nations world, and also as the cradle of medicat teaching and modern science.
This is certainly not an ordinary hospital appeal. Barts is a national possession, with a history and tradi- tions unparalleled in the medical annals of any country. Barta has its site in London, but its influence and activities have extended for generations to the uttermost parts of the earth. Practically all the most vital discoveries in connection with the science of medicine have been made by men who studied at Barts, and it is equally true to say that the mathods adopted there have been followed as closely as possible by institutions of healing in wery civilized country. At the present moment there are 4,000 doctors and an army of nurses, now serving the country and the Empire as special- ists, who received their training at Barta.
