How UNCLE SAM IS

probably the oldest form of animal life
upon the globe. Its study is an inter-
esting one and eve people who are
not Of q scientific turn of mind find
pleasure in looking on the exquisite
coloring and delicate beauty Of the
many varieties OF shells and on their
wonderful mechanism.
There is nothing which more de-
lights children than to wander along
the seashore and gather the liCtle shells
which have been washed on the beach
by the restless waves. And then, too,
when some large specimen is found,
with what eagerness the finder. wheth-
er young or old. will apply 1t to his or
her ear and hear from within It's MUIR
murings, whereby, in the words OF the
poet, it expresses mysterious union
with it's native sea-"
In the Smithsonian institution at
Washington there is a collection of
$4,000 shells, many of them Of a large
size, others strangely formed, and some
of the ~iridescent colors which rival
the hues of sunset.
In examining these there comes to
mind many fables and traditions about
shells. There is the conch shell, which
was made into a horn and blown by
Triton and the attendants of Neptune.
Then there is the nautilus, of which
Pope says:
Learn of the little nautilus to sail,
Spread the thin oar and catch the
driving gale.
Many years ago a Dutch naturalist
went to the Indian seas to study shells,
when he came back ne t)ld the story
that the nautilus sailed in troops over
the sea, and were able, when they
wished, to ALI themselves with water
and sink to the bottom.
This, it has been found, is not true.
The nautilus commonly inhabits the
bottom of the sea, where It creeps
about by means of a large muscular
disk with which the head is furnished,
and 1T rarely rises TO the surface or is
seen floating there. The interior of
the shell is divided into chambers, con-
nected by a little tube, which affords
air. The shell has most exquisite COL
oring, from pearly white to varied mot
ley.

TOURISTS ALL COMING
THROUGH ABILENE NOW.

The Denver Chamber of Commerce
announces that it will route all tour
lists to Kansas City via the Golden
Belt Road or. the Omaha-Trascon-
tinental route. The latter goes down
the Platte valley to Minden, Neb.,
thence by the Sunflower Trail to
Salina and ON the Golden Belt road
through Abilene. Some tourists pre-
fer the latter route though longer
as it avoids some sand in eastern
Colorado.
r. M. Anderson of Beloit, presi-
dent of the Sunflower Trail asso-
citation, writes:
1--WE are receiving hundreds OF in
quiries from tourists in the east who
: intend to make western tours the
coming season; and we have written
them sending them the map and log
of our trail and also great mass
OF touring information which this
office has accumulated and COM
piled. In almost every instance we
have received response from the tour
lists saying they were very much
surprised at the development of tour
ing conditions here and that they
would certainly make use of the
Sunflower Trail the coming season"
