posed to be a great green sea ane-
none, he attempted to grasp it. But
the anemOne disappeared, and like a
vice the edges of the shell clamped
the wrist of the unfortunate collector,
who, to his horror, found himself an
chored in a STOPPING position by his
hand.
The tide was rising, not a person
was in sight and there was apparent
ly no possible chance of escape. The
collector fortunately, had knife, and,
almost crazed by pain. he made an
attack upon the shell, but every thrust
he made only caused the powerful ami
NAL to clasp him closer and add to
his agony 1t was impossible to cut
around the shell, the rock being too
hard, and the only thing to do was
to wait and hope that the shell would
relax and permit him to jerk his hand
out. Seconds seemed minutes and
minutes hours. The water was ris-
ing higher and higher; a gentle breeze
had sprung up and the waves began
to form that threw the water against
the captive. He had about determined
upon a terrible alternative-to cut off
his hand to save his life-when the
shell vsibly relaxed its holds and with
a quick jerk he pulled out the MANNED
and helpless member and turned in
shore.

LIVING OCEAN TRAPS.
Monster CLANS That Catch Their
Prey in Vice-Like Shells.


From the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
In South Pacific waters are found
some Of the largest shells known. One
is a clam-like shell with huge ribs,
called the tradicna, one valve of which
has been known to weigh 250 pounds
The meat alone weighed twenty-five
or more pounds, and a single animal,
if served on the half she'll would af-
ford a good meal for fifty men. The
tridacna has the habit Of lying with
its valves partly open, as though to
trap some unwary traveller. II has
earned and unsavory reputation and
IT considered an animal to be avoided,
unless means are at hand to render il
harmless.
The attention of white men was first
attracted to this trap when a party OF
collectors were rowing over the reef
in search of rare corals. They sud-
denly saw a large fish beating the
surface violently, with its head out
of the water. AS they drew near
they saw that the fish was a large
shark, which had been caught in a
living trap. Its tail, or the lower
lobe, was held securely by a giant
shell, the tradacna, the strong and
powerful mollusk, clinging to it with a
vice-like grasp,
There is case on record of a man
having been entrapped in a similar
way. He was an American collector,
unfamiliar with the reef and its strange
inhabitants, and seeing what he sup

Those Who Did the Work.

Yesterday the board Of health adver-
tlsed some extracts of the rule adopted
by the old board and signed by ex-

members of the old board put many
weeks Of hard work on these rules.

Dr. II. G. Wheeler, ID. l.. Bailey, NJ. D.,
Alderman Bunnell, John Copeland, b.
A. Kelly and j. j. Collins are among
those who have given their time to the

THE STUDY OF CoLoRs.
Hues That Are Refreshing and Those
That Are Otherwise.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The study of colors and their effects
is a very curious and interesting one.
There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening. Others that absorb
light and give a bOXed-up appearance
to a room, others that make a room
with a bleak northern exposure or
with no exposure at all appear bright
and cheerful; some that make a room
appear warm, some that make it cold.
If a ceiling is to be made higher
leave ii light, that it may appear to
recede. Deepening the color used on
the ceiling would make it lower. an
effect desirable if the room is small
and the ceiling very high. Various
tones of yellow are substitutes for
sunlight.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into a blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, a room fitted up with yell
low will appear smaller than it is. On
the other hand, blue of a certain
shade introduced generously into a
room will give an idea OF space. Red
makes no difference in regard to size.
Green makes very little.
If a bright, sunny room gets its
light from space obtruded upon by
russet-colored or yellow painted
houses, or else looks out upon
stretch of green grass, it should be
decorated in color very different
from the shade chosen if the light
comes from only an unbroken eXpanse
OF sky.
If olive or red brown be used in
conjunction with mahogany furniture
the result will be very different from
that obtained bY the use of blue. Blue
would develop the tawny orange lurk-
ing In the mahogany.
Red brings out in a room whatever
tint of green turks in the composition
OF the other colors employed.
Green needs sunlight TO develop the
yellow in it and makes il seem cheer
full.
