Here is q curious bit of something
closely studded with tiny anchors. As
anchors are mainly useful in water. OF
what value can these miniature ones
be? We are looking at . bit of the skin
of the sea-cucumber (Synapta girardii).
In shape this animal is more like .
worm than like anything else. and it
moves from place to place by means OF
suckers When it wishes to remain
quiet, the anchors. which have been
closed over perforated, chalky plates,
are extended outward from the body,
and fasten the little creature securely
to the sand or mud. The sea-cucumbers
found on our coasts are small, seldom
over four inches in length, though
larger kinds abound in the Bay Of Fun
dy, and upon the mud-nats Of Florida

in q particular way it is considered :
great delicacy. When ! look 1t this
slide I wonder If man first got his idea
of an anchor from this little creature.
Yet anchors were in use long before
microscopes, and the little anchors are
much too small to be seen BY the un-
aided eye.-St Nicholas

also informed him that since the death
of her worthless husband her worldly
affairs had prospcred. A maternal uncle
had died leaving her boarding house.
which business she was now carrying
on, although it was not to her liking,
as there ought to be = man about the
house. The last remark was made
with downcast eyes and averted face.
To be the proprietor Of y boarding
house had been the ambition of Fritx's 3
life. His clothes were now dry, and.
having put them on, he took leave OF
the overjoyed widow, promising to call
again.
The rest can be readily imagined.
About six weeks afterwards the tickle
creature who had almost driven him to
suicide received the following note:
