The deep sea naturalist when pre-
pairing the skeletons of small birds and
fishes for mounting calls the sea fleas
to his aid. These active little crus-
taceans swarm on the bottom of the
sea in both tropical and temperate wa
tiers and are possessed Of voracious ap-
petites. So the naturalist, after remov.
ing the skin and loose flesh from the
specimen, ties it III a coarse net and
lowers it into the sea until it hangs
just clear Of the bottom. 1t is immedi-
ately discovered by the sea fleas, and
countless myriads Of the little crea.
lures come swarming to the work OF
denuding the bones. In a short time
the skeleton is clean and ready to be
packed or mounted. Care must be
taken to haul it up at just the right
moment, as if left too long to the sea
fleas they will attack and devour the
small bones as soon as they have fin
ished the soft parts. A little watch
fulness on the part of the naturalist
will prevent this, however, and the
tiny scavengers of the deep will save
him lot of unpleasant rk.-Chicago
