istence" seems the only natural reply.
Yet everywhere you can ind such crea-
lures, and far from being exterminated
they manage to increase and flourish
amazingly. and this simply by the exercise
of their wits, or the much developed in
stinct which does duty for wits
The favorite device for any defenseless
creature is to get some other stronger and
bigger animal than itself to AFFORD IL pro-
lection. OF this a most amazing instance
is to be found any summers day along
the mouth of the Thames. In the shall
low channels between the sands may be
seen floating hundreds of transparent
jellyfsh.
If you look carefully you may see un-
derneath the larger of these creatures
and right among their long tentacles a
number of tiny white shrimps. IT used
to be supposed that the jellydsh lived on
those shrimps, but it Is now ascertained
that, so far from this being the case. the
smaller fish is living under the protection
OF the medusa.
The tellynsh floats along collecting food
with its long arms, while the little shrimp
remains in safe shelter and lives on the
remnants. Taken from Its protector, the
shrimp dies almost at once. No one
knows how this strange partnership first
started. II seems rather a one-sided af-
fair. but that IL exists anyone can see for
himself.
The sea cucumber also gives shelter to
a tiny saltwater fish. which. II no, thus
protected. would soon die, and In similar
fashion the big Brazilian catfish saves
