another one to come along. What you
took to be flowers were sea anemones,
and they are always very much alive.
Now, look down on that big fat
rock on the left and you will see lot
of sea snail shells scattered around and
about two feet apart. II you will
watch them you will soon see some
fun, for every one Of those shells has
a veritable little devil in 1t that is
always peeping out and ready for a
fight. They are called hermit crabs
and they always carry their houses
with them wherever they go. When
they are very young they will cork
screw their bodies into empty snail
shells and then they are there to stay
as long as they live. When he twists
his body into the snail shell the lit
tie crab leaves his right ciaw out
and it soon grows to an enormous size
and fills the whole mouth of the
shell, and he uses this big claw to
fight with, feed himself and to travel.
Now, just watch one of them run over
to his neighbor on the right and try to
claw him out Of his shell; then there is
big fight on hand, for the other fell
low is always ready to defend himself;
and from the way their big claws clash
you would think they would soon tear
each other all to pieces. After the fight
Is over, the crab will hurry back to
where he came from and remain there
until his neighbor on the left comes
over and tackles him and then there
is another big battle fought. And SO
IL goes, for they seem TO be eyerlast-
ingly at it.
Now, look out there and you will
see the shaggy head Of an animal bob
bing up and down among the breakers
that you would take to be a water
spaniel. 1t is sea leopard, one of the
crossest and most savage brutes that
ever lived. 1t is about the size Of a
dog and is spotted exactly like a
leopard.
Those large shells that you see cling
ing to the of the rocks along the shore
are abalones. They are the most beau
tiful shells in the world and are only
found along the coast Of California
and on the coast Of Brittany in France.
Among the flotsam along the shore
you will see at almost every step you
take some strange and curious thing
that has been cast up by the waves in
time of a storm and there is such a
fascination in their discovery and ex-
animation that whole day will slip
| by before YOU know it.

The Missouri climate, which is af-
fected by the surface Of the State and
which, in turn, affects the State, is
most important element in considera-
tion of the resources of the common
wealth. This climate, with its pecu-
liarities, has never received adequate
discussion In any book or pamphlet OF
newspaper article upon Missouri.
In the $4,000 volume which the
Missouri Worlds Fair Commission Is
preparing upon ''The State Of Mis-
souri," the climate will be considered
in a thoughtful and suggestive chap
ter by A. +. Hackett, Of the Missouri
Weather Service, the highest author
Iity in the State. The chapter will be
illustrated by maps and charts special
| ly drawn for it. The volume is issued
under the direction of the Depart
ment Of Publication of the Missouri
