CURB REPORTER
Some have asked when the Curb
Reporter was going to finish his
Florida trip. After leaving the
most interesting old things in
Florida at St. Augustine we came
to the newest thing, and the larg
est of its kind in the world—Mar
ineland, about 18 miles below St.
Augustine and a few feet from the
ocean where the largest fish bowl
in the world was opened last
June. S“o you people who haven't
been to Florida Within the past
six months have something new to
look forward to. If you ’ can
imagine the Tryon school auditor
ium filled with 11 feet of clear
water you have an idea of the
Qmmense size of the concrete tank
vhich has a platform around the
>rim allowing spectators to see
from the top, then 100 windows
colled oortholes at different eleva
tions all around the sides making
it easy to see under the fishes or
on a level with them. They are
of all kinds, sharks, porpoise, sting
ray, jewfish and a thousand va
rieties weighing from an ounce to
nearly a ton. Some of the fish
with big eyes will come right up
to the window and stare at you,
too. The biggest crowds at the
aquarium show up at feeding time
when a diver goes down in the
water and lets a porpoise and her
calf feed from his hand. They
would swim by and take mullet
