EATING AN OYSTER.
The starfish Has Rather an Odd Way
Of Dol ~ H.

The starfsh Has Rather an Odd Way
Of poi7g Il.
The oyster when 1T home lives in
a hard lime shell which nicely pro-
teets him from the attack of enc
mics. Man, with his tools, can open
the shell and remove the soft ami
NAL, but besides man the oyster has
few foes. Oddly enough, his great
est foe is not, rs might be expected,
an animal with powerful jaws and
strong teeth. but one wholly with
out jaws. 1t is the common star
fish, so common everywhere at the
seashore.
Now. the starfish is soft, fexi-
bic creature. very sluggish, seeming
ly helpless and utterly unable to at
tack such an animal as the oyster.
Its mouth, which is in the center of
the disk, has no teeth or jaws. How
can such a helpless creature open
the formidable oyster shell and get
at the animal concealed within?
Its method of doing so is odd
enough. 1t first clasps the oyster
in its arms, wrapping its five arms
around the shell tightly. Having
thus seized the oyster, it quietly
waits. Just exactly what happens
next even our scientists do not ex-
actly know The two shells of the
oyster are held together by a hinge
which is opened by a spring. The
spring is so adjusted that the shells
will be pushed open unless they are
held together by the muscles. Some
scientists tell us that after the star
fish has held the oyster for awhile
the oyster opens its she'll in order to
get food and the starfsh that haa
been waiting for this now injects
into the shell little reddish LIQUID
This acts as a poison, paralyzing the
muscles and thus making it impossi-
bic for the animal to close its shell.
Others tell US that the process is
simpler and that the star6sh simply
holds the shell tightly together un-
til the oyster is smothered. As soon
as it is stupefed by the suffocation
the muscles relax and the shell
opens.
Whichever of these two accounts
is true, it is certain that after lit
tie the oyster shells fly open. Now
comes the oldest feature of all. The
stomach of the starfsh is very large
and elastic, and it is now thrown
out of the animals mouth much as
one would turn a bag inside out.
This stomach is then thrust within
the oyster shell and wrapped around
the soft arimal, beginning at once
to digest it. The starfsh does not
take the trouble even to remove the
oyster from its shell, digesting it il
its own home and eventually crawl
ing away, leaving behind the gaping,
empty shell.-St Nicholas.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu- tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an in- famed condition of the mucous lining Of the Eustachian Tupe. When this tube Is infiamed you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear ing and when it is entirely closed. Deafness is the result and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to It's normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inftamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case Of Deafness (caused by Catarrh) that can not Do cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free. Y. J. CHENEY & Co.,. Toledo, O.

MORE ARIZONA WONDERS
Dr. J. W. Fewkes Returned From Investigating Latest Discov- cry of Cliff Dwellings
 and Caves.

Dr. J. w. Fewkes, of the Smith. sonian Institute, returned on last Thursday evening from a trip aoc miles to the Marshall Pass coun. try in Northern Arizona, after hay. ing been gone forty-fve days. He was accompanied by Mrs. Fewkes Al Doyle and Robert Caring.
 Dr. Fewkes is the best author ity on ancient ruins in the United States and has done more to pro- tect them than any other person in the west.
 In describing the new wonders, Dr. Fewkes says they are among the largest and most perfectly pre- served ruins of the ancient race in the southwest, and he estimates they are approximately 500 years old.
 One mammoth cave has an opening of about Goo feet in front and extends back into the cliff about 100 feet or more. This cave contains from 75 to 100 rooms, all built of dobe brick. The brick are made of mud and straw and are about two feet long and four inches thick.
 Altogether over fourteen sePar- ate and distinct two-story houses of this kind, only one of which was built of rock.
 The trip was the toughest one l have ever taken during my work in the southwest" continued the doctor. land owing to lack of help I was unable to do more than build a road to them over the In- dian trail. Help from the Indians l was unable to secure, owing to their superstitious dread of what they call dead houses.' The country surrounding is exceedingly rough, but we'll watered. There are some pine and fur scattered over the Mesas, and plenty of scrub cedar and juniper.
 That whole section of the Nav ajo country has been set aside as a national monument by President Taft, pending the investigation, and as soon as possible will make recommendations settin g aside merely the ground covered by the different ruins.
