Some of the animals of the ocean
have no eyes, having no need Of them;
others have a hundred eyes.
The largest animal and the tiniest
animal are found in the sea. In places
the sea is 10000 feet deep. Its aver
age depth is over 10000 feet. Twice
every "a hours the water rises and
falls. At the entrance to the Bay
of Fundy the rise at spring tide is no
less than 70 feet. The natural power
that controls the tide is a tremendous

And the plant life in the ocean is
almost as remarkable as the animal
life. Learned men have been study
ing it for centuries and are only be-
ginning to understand it. II you want

SUGGESTIONS OF THE NAVAJO.
Man Mustn't Look at His Mother in-L aw
TO Be Successful in Hunt.

The mother-in-law joke must have
originated with the Navajo, for after
marriage a Navajo dare not look into
the face of his wifes mother. If by
chance he catch a glimpse of her it
takes much fasting and many prayers to
feel secure against dangerous results.

grave and reverend chief walk back

face in the depths of his blanket to
avoid the dreaded sight
To have luck in hunting it is neces-
sary to scatter the sacred meal before
the house TO place a small stone on a
heap beside the trail and to offer a
plume to the mother above.
To comfort one in distress or to ward
off prospective distress the women aud
children wear red wrist bands.
If they wish to be protected by those
above on entering their home they take
pinch of sacred meal from bowl kept
in niche in the wall and scatter it to
the north, west, south, east. up and
down, meanwhile saying some prayers.
To bring harm to the guilty it is only
necessary to bury two lunches of owl or
raven feathers near the place where the
suspected one sleeps or lives after pre-
senting it to the six regions. The third
bunch of feathers is buried near the
