The Oysters Trunk.

Said Prof. Rice, of New York. II
will show you the prObOscis of an oys-
ter, something rarely seen except by
scientists experimenting like myself.
You see in this little bowl of water
something that looks like piece of thin
scale, with fragment of substance to
it. all the size of lady'S finger nail:
well, that's an infant oyster. about a
month old. will now place it under
the microscope, and you will then dis
cover the prObOScis.
In a moment the professor had adjust
ed the lens, and the reporter looked.
He at once drew back in horror and
grasped for the table. The professor
smiled. Through the tubes of the
microscope the reporter gaZed again,
into wide sea, wherein lay hideous
monster, and from.its indescribable body
there rose great serpentIne coil which
swayed hither and thither as if search
ing for victim.
1--WE are not certain of the functions
of the prObosciS yet, but think that,
like an elephants trunk, it is made use
of to catch and pass the food to the
mouth. When the oyster is five months
old it loses its proboscis; that is, it is
absorbed and becomes part of the lips.
will now show you the main artery
WEIGH helps the OYSTERS heart to per-
form its proper functions"
Again the glass was adjusted. ''You
see that dark line which contracts and
enlarges continually; that is the artery
referred to-" To the reporter the artery
looked to be at least an eighth of mile
in length and as large around as log.
"We will now look at the heart;
sometimes it doesn't appear to beat. but
l guess this bright morning it will be
right. All! yes, there it goes beautiful
ly."
The reporters eyes had now become
quite used to both the ocean and its
queer inhabitant, and soon his eyes
rested on throbbing mountain. There
was something fascinating about the
throbbing of the centre of life.
Il have counted the pulsations of the
heart,' said the Professor, land it ran
from thirty-fve to fifty minute; that

Again the lens was adjusted and the
examined, and from its sides
stretched away out into the sea were a
of long arms, but without hands
or fingers, and the monster kept

Trap-shootIng and FieId-Shooting.

A man may excel in trap-shoOting
and yet never become anything of a
field shot; it is not in him. There are
men whom neither trap work nor field
work can ever make crack field shots.
We have frequently been out shooting
with friend whose company we value
most highly; he has a large fund of
wooderaft, is close observer, and as
fall sf ardor as any sportsman we ever
knew. He has followed the dogs day
in and day out, woodcOck, grouse and
quail; fired no one knows how many
thousands of shots at the birds. The
total amount of game actually brought
to bag by him the last ten years COM
prises two ruffed grouse and wOOdcock
and there is every reason to believe
that the grouse were killed by accident.
As field shot this man is veritable,
incOrrIgible ''duffer." But at the traps
he can break ten glass balls straight, CT
kill the live birds sprung from a trap
as often as any other gunner in his
vicinity.

Years ago at Yarmouth, Me-, one
quiet Sabbath while the preacher held
forth upon the ruin of unbelievers, and
the congregation slumbered peacefully
in their high-backed pews, a signal gun
was heard from the Princes Point Sta
tiOn. Another sharp report followed
and still another. The minister did
not wait for the ''fifthly" in his dis
course, but dashed down the pulpit
stirs and joined the excited people out
side. From their commanding situa-
tion they saw strange craft sailing
up CascO Bay. 1t carried no cOlors.
They could see no men on its deck.
After a hurried consultation it was
decided to send Ali armed deputation
to Princes Point to find out the mis-
sion of the mysterious vessel. The
women and children, with few men
for defense, remained on the hill. while
the heroic band marched down to the
point and waited the arrival of the
stranger. An hour passed and they
returned. The bark was-a schooner
from down the coast which had sailed
up for timber! The Chronicle tells
only the bare story, but with grain of
facetiousness as if the humor was evil
dent enough without any comments.
1t does not attempt to account either
for the fall of the plastering in the
same church at the very moment when
the parson, a gloomy man with a sono-
rous voice and pessimistic views of life,
was enlarging on the passage, 'BlOw
We the trumpet! Babylon shall fall
and become heaps" but simply says
that ''the people thought the end of
the world had come ana did leave the
meeting-house in great distraction, in
juring woman seriously by tramping
upon her in their haste to get out OF
the door.
