hs TerribDa Army of Suckers and It's
Powerful Jaws.

Powerful Jaws.
Both the octopus and the cuttlensn
have arms that are clothed with a
formidable array of suckers which are
wonderful pieces of mechanism. When
the sucker comes into contact with an
object the central piston, having pre-
viously been raised SO as to complete
Iy fill the cavity of the sucker, Is at
once withdrawn and a perfect vac
uum produced, explaining the great te-
nacity with which the suckers cling.
They number upward Of 100 pairs 10
each arm Of the octopus. and once they
obtain a grip on the victim, unless the
arm is actually torn away from the
body Of the octopus, 1t is practically
impossible for Its prey TO disentangle
itself.
In addition to these suckers the octo-
pus has a powerful pair of jaws, shap-
ed like the beak Of parrot, behind
which is a formidable armor plated
tongue used as a rasping organ. The
octopus will attack and kill crabs and
Holsters of considerable size, ripping
open the body by means of its powerful
jaws and devouring the contents. In
spite of being a creature of such awe
inspiring looks the octopus has several
enemies in various species of whales,
sharks and conger eels. In fact, the
latter are particularly fond of devour-
ing the smaller octopuses.
Conger eels hunt for the octopus and
when found proceed to browse on its
limbs The octopus tries to hug the
slippery, Shiny conger tight, but in
vain, and. finding its limbs growing
less, discharges its ink in the face of
the foe and under cover Of the turbid
water beats a hasty retreat. 1t is to
escape the too pressing attention of
its foes that the octopus possesses the
power of changing its color to CORE
spond with that of its surroundings.

Yesterday in the Princess lodging

dodgers.
While attempting to light the gas
stove in the kitchen, Miss Vivian Ben

using and as it fell it ignited the gas
which was leaking through large
hole in the pipe. Instantly the flame
shot to the ceiling and the room burst
into flames.
Jack Smith. lodger in the house,
saw the fire furiously threatening the
building and at once seized a monkey
wrench which was lying on the floor,
and rushing down to the meter in the
cellar he turned off the gas.
