The actual chances for literary success

from those which any greater city pre-
sents over those of smaller community.
If literary man or woman can go TO
New York with a certainty offered in the
way of a fairly paying position, then ]
say, by all means go, and if he has any
talent in him it will come out and win
quick success. But if he has only ordi-
nary gifts then let him stay where he is,
even with certainty offered him. New
York holds out nothing to such man
except poor livelihood. Or, if a writer
has established fair reputation, is

What do you think of the idea of hell,
the future abode Of the wicked, being
situated in the nucleus Of some gigantic
comet? This opinion, odd as it may seem
to those who have given comets and the
future state of the dead but little atten-
ton, has been entertained by many really
eminent scientists and philosophers,
among them the learned DIR. Winston,
the friend and sometime adviser of the
great Sir Isaac Newton.
In answer to the inquiries of friend,
who wrote to ask the doctor for some
tangible proof on the subject, the follow
ing unique theories were advanced: SAC

Tho Mechanism of an Oyster.

Every oyster has mouth. a heart, a liver.
. stomach, besides many curiously devised
little intestines and other organs-neces-
sary organs, such as would be handy to a
living. moving, intelligent creature. The
mouth is at the end OF the she'll near the
hinge and adjoining the toothed portion Of
the oysters pearly covering. This tiny
little apology Of mouth is oval In shape,
and although hardly visible to one unused
TO making such anatomical examinations
can be easily discovered by gently pushing
bodlxin or a piece of blunt, smooth wire
along the surface Of the locality mentioned.
When the mouth is at last located you
can thrust your instrument through be
tween the delicate lips and considerable
distance toward the stomach without caus-
ing the oyster the least pain whatever.
From this mouth there is Of course
miniature canal leading to the stomach.
Food passes from this canal to the stomach,
and from the latter organ into the intes-
tines Just as readily as though the little
bivalve were as large as an elephant or
rhinoceros.
Remove the shell this operation is rather
rough on the oyster, but can be done in
comparatively painless manner by an ex-
peril and you will see the crescent, which
/ lies Just over the so called neart- Ahis haii
moon space is the oysters pericardium.
Within is the true heart, the pulsations OF
which can be readily seen without the aid
OF glass. The heart is very humanlike,
made of two pats, one OF which receives
the blood from the gills through a network
of real blood vessels; the other portion con
tracts and drives the blood out through the
body. The other organs Of an oysters anat-
omy are all in the proper places and per
