Bed IL VIII Die.
''Why does an oyster sleep and live
en- its left slde?" asked a man who is
interested in oyster culture. ''Well, /.
suppose we will have to put the ques-
ton to Nature. and Nature has her OWE
way of answering questions. / have
been around in the oyster waters of
the Chesapeake bay and Choptank riv-
er for many years and am in a position
TO say that this is the natural way
of the oyster. ! may remark paren-
thetically that this is one OF the difficult
ties we have to contend with. for in re-
bedding oysters and punching them an
oyster is occasionally thrown upon its
right side and weighted so that IL can
not turn over. 1t simply dwindles
away and dies by degrees. Put upon
its right side the oyster cannot live.
OF course there Is an explanation to
this popularity. The right hand part
Of the oyster shell is the top and NOV
able part II the oyster is put in lis
natural position-that is. on its left
side-it requires but small amount of
physical energy to open and raise the
right hand section OF the shell when
the oyster wants TO feed. Reverse the
position and put the oyster on the right
side and we find an extremely difficult
problem. from the oysters standpoint.
In order TO open the she'll for feeding
purposes II is necessary for the oyster
to raise not only the weight OF the left
section of the shell. but its own weight
as well. II We reverse the natural po-
sition OF the oyster. put 1t on its right
hand side and wedge 1t so II can't turn
over; we simply smother and starve IL
to death. or course. am just theoriz-
ing about this thing. There may be
some other explanation OF the left hand
ed life OF the oyster, but from Esy expe-
rience / am inclined to think the ex-
PLANTATION given is q reasonable ONE

BURIAL CUSTOMS.


~ <E<8@0s wv - NV
Dfsposcs OF the Dead.
The disposal OF the dead among CIV
ilized nations has usually consisted OF
one or the following three ways:
Firstly. OF closing up the body In earth
or stone: secondly. OF burning the body
md committing TO earth the ashes.
and. thirdly. the embslming OF the
body. The earliest form OF interment
OF which we have any account was
that OF the paleolithic cave jewellers.
who buried their dead in natural grot-
toes and crevices In the rock similar 10
those in which they had lived.
When we come to the later stone age
we find that the people throughout
Europe buried I'm chambered barrows
and cairns. Next comes the bronze
age, with its changes, and among 9TH
ers the burial of the dead. The cham
bered barrows passed away, and in
their places barrows were frequently
used without chambers. and cemeteries
OF stone cists set in the ground were
largely employed Frequently n nat
ural eminence OF sand or gravel was
the place assigned for burial. and
around II were circles OF standing
stones. During these prehistoric times
cremation was also practiced side by
side with the simple interments OF the
people. In pagan times it was custom
airy, whether the dead were buried
with or without cremation, TO put in
their graves such articles as urns or
vessels Of clay, bronze. gold or glass,
clothing, personal ornaments. nipple
ments and weapons OF warfare.
Cremation was largely abolished
when Christianity spread over the
country, and the interment OF grave
goods was restricted to kings and
priests, who continued to be buried in
their royal and sacerdotal robes and
with their insignia of Office.
Down to the tenth century cremation
was customary among the tribes locat-
ell along the Volga. Here also human
sacrifices I'm honor Of the dead pre-
vailed. Records OF eyewitnesses OF the
horrible ceremonies have come down 10
US. Charlemagne prohibited this usage
among the conquered Saxons under
pain OF death. In India the living wild
ow was in many instances down to
1929 burned with the corpse Of her hus-
hand

Cucujos are beetles beginning life as

are sometimes called because when
placed on their backs they jump over

a small species OF the same family
is found in Florida and Texas. They
have two luminous spots on the thorax
and another on the abdomen. Damp
evenings are most favorable TO the light

bly, to attract mate. The young lar
vac feed largely on snails, to which
their bite is poisonous. The luminous
organs are developed before the insects
leave the eggs.
Now, theory formerly held was that
these firefiies stored up light in the
daytime for emission at night, as is
done by the so called luminous paint
Of calcium sulphide. But il was found
that they shone as brightly as ever
after being confined for ten days il
darkness. Some that were carried
from Cuba to Havre in the pitch black

arrival.
