Everything caught by the tentacles is car
ried to the mouth, just as the elephant per
forms the same act with his trunk. The
stomach contains crude digestive appa-
ratus. The octopus has neither flesh, blood
nor bone. but seems to be composed of
grfstle. The eyes and small head are To-
Gated on the opposite side from the mouth.
The only use to which the octopus has been
put SO far is to make food for the Puget
Sound Indians. The Siwashes take off the
outside skin and boil the remaining mass
of gristle into a stew
The arch enemies of the octopus are the
dogfish and shark. His only means Of de-
Tense is the black fluid or ink which he
emits when attacked or in danger. This
fluid discolors the water all around and en-
ables him to escape. Three drops of this
fluid will irnpart an inky blackness to a
large pail of water. \ tifty-fOur-pound dew
iltish caught several years ago had a quart
of this fluid I'm the ink sack located near
its intestines The big devilfish under no
tice weighed ninety pounds and had nearly
two quarts of the fluid. AS found in the
ink sack the fluid is much thicker than
when thrown out. II has been learned that
the octopus dilutes it by passing il through
second sack before throwing it out to
blacken the water and blind his enemies
No fish will remain in this blackened water
fer an instant.

At the age of nine or ten the woman
porter of Martinique can carry a heavy
basket or tray esnt aiming a weight of from
twenty-five to thirty pounds. She then be-
gins to go on long peadIing journeys with
her mother, eldgF sister, or responsible fe-
male friend, WALKING barefoot as many as
fifteen miles a day AT eighteen she is Wig
orous and tougheas amountan pony, and,
like most mouhfain-bred women, she is
comely She caEries bow upon her head a
tray and burdendof from 12o to $50 pounds,
earning less than 80 shillings a month by
travelling fifty miles asday as an itinerant
seller Forty rShftyo miles a day, always
bearing a burden of over 100 pounds-for
stones are added as the tray is emptied of
merchandise, to maintain the customary
weight-and thishfor an income of a franc
day! Out of this franc she has her food
and sleeping quarters to procure, and her
clothes to get. Twenty francs year will
keep her in clothes.
A brief chemise and light calico robe
constitute her travelling apparel On her
head she wears soft toehe, or pad, upon
which the TAFT (tray) is placed. She wears
no shoes; she needs none. The soaes of her
feet are toughened to- something like india
rubber, feeling no asperities of surface bid
ding defiance to the sharpest fints Her
food Is simple--5 sous a day for bread or
biscuit, few sous for ragout few sous
for some cheap liquor to mix with her
drinking water; perhaps 10 sous in all Her
sleeping quarters might be expected to
bring her daily expenses up to a franc.
nevertheless, such Is her ability TO econo-
mize that she not only manages 10 live on
her income (which seems Incredibly. but
actually saves enough to set herself up in
some simple business when her youth and
physical powers decline.

From the New York yorli


Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while .-ou are out for an hours
stroll2
Possibly you walk three miles in an hour.
but THAT does not represent the distance
you travel The earth turns on its axis
every twenty-foUr hours. In round figures
call the earth's circumference - 900 miles
and you must have travelled during your
hours stroll a thousand miles in the axial
turn of the earth.
But this is not all The earth makes a
journey round the sun every year. Put the
distance of our planet from the sun at 81
100000 miles. The diameter is therefore
1S4 0O0. COO miles, and the circumference de-
scribed by the earth 57S.O00,000 miles. In
other words, the earth travels around the
sun each day 1854 eco miles. and every
hour-fnr instance, the hour during which
you took your walk - the earth moved
through 6G.0O0 miles.
So. adding your three miles of leg travel
to the hours axial movement of the earth,
this to the earths orbital journey and that
again to the earth's excursion with the
sun, and you will find you have travelled
within the hour So $50 miles.
