BOAT THAT NATURE BUILT.

Man makes the largest sea -going
vessels, but nature constructs the
smallest. This, a species of jellyfish
is found only in tropical seas, and II
has Il sail.
That part of the fish that is sub
merged resembles mass of tangled
threads while the sail" looks like a
tough membrane, shaped like a she'll
end measuring quite five inches OF
more across. The telyfsh can raise or
lower this sail at will.
Knowing seamen avoid contact with
this curiosity of nature, for the rea-
son that each of the threads compos-
ing its body possesses the power of in
1icting very painful sting. This sting
enables the jellyfsh to defend itself
from porpoises, albatrosses and other
natural enemies.
II may be added that this odd little
creature has no other means of loco
motion aside from its sail When seen

Chicago, April 25.-Word has beer

Lawn Tennis association will send an
invading team to America this sum

1t Is announced that this team will
consist of the four greatest PLAYERS IN

land, A. Walter Dunlop of Victoria
and Mr.. Sharp of New South Wales
The team probably will sail for Amer

comprising the best golf talent in the
island continent. Both teams will
make tours of the United States and
VIII compete in all of the important
tournaments.
The visit of the Australian play
cTs VIII mark the first appearance Of
players from the Pacific continent In
ne United States. Chief interest. of
curse, will attach to the appearance
OF the Great Brooks, who for the
last three years has been regarded
as the greatest exponent of lawn ten
mis- I'm the world. Wildng his doubIes
partner, however, Is almost as we'll
known as Brookes, and was respon-
sible more than the latter for the vic
tories OF Australia over tho two teams
fom America which invaded the Bri-
fish colony in 1908 and 1909 i'm quest of
tho Davis cup.
The other two members of the
Australian team, Dunlop and DIR. Sharp
are not so well known i'm this coun-
try although Fred b. Alexander. hold
er with Hackett OF the American
doubles championship, regards the
former as the greatest doubles play
er he has ever seen.
The actual plans for the Australian
team have not been made known. but
1t is regarded as a certainty that the
quartet will appear i'm tho western

me.. ,-.-
<NiiiNiiS III SAN II francisco the AUS
tralians will play on the coast only
IN practice matches, If at all. The
'ourts of the Pacific coast section
are composed of clay and asphalt,
which would make it unwise for the
Australians, accustomed to grass
'ourts, to compete in matches under
hese unfavorable conditions. This
act will exclude them from compe-

Therefore, to compete for the ma

will be necessary for the Australians

1t Is obvious. therefore, that the |
