Of mirth- provokers of the season. One
suspects that Mr.. Meader has spent a
good deal of time practicing what he
preaches for, if one scratches off the
varnish of humor, one finds a great

has picture in color by Pal; and
the whole get-up is strikingly origi.

In the barnacle we have a unique
and wonderful case of creature that
can afford as age comes on to dispense
with the eyesight that was so useful
In youth. For the young and old
barnacle are as different one from the
other as fishes from seaweed. In the
heyday of life the barnacle swims
about the sea, seeking its food with the
aid of its eyes and generally leading a
roaming existence. Later in life, how
ever it grows tired of this aimless
wandering and settles down to worry
ships captains by attaching itself to
the keel of their craft and defying the
much advertised powers Of various pre-
ventlye paints. Once, then, the barna-
Gle has become fixture, whether on
ships or sharks, its eyesight is Of no
more use. 1t cannot seek its food, and
1t cannot shun Its foes, for 1t never
more will move. Therefore Its eyes
become supertluous and, according to
natures invariable rule In such cases,
