It's Queer Ink Sac and Its Ability TO
Change Its Color.
Sepia is n peculiar animal substance
obtained from the ink bags or ink sacs
of cuttefsh.
The cuttlefish are group of singu-
lar sea creatures allied to slugs. snails,
oysters and other so called shell fish"
The cuttlefish has a sort of shell be-
meath the skin (sold under the name of
''cuttleboneO. a pair of large eyes and
a horny beak. Like all molluscS. they
have no real limbs at all. but from
around the head there spring eight or
ten long tentacles. each armed with
numerous suckers.

esting. too. as being able to change it's
color In a measure so as to harmonic
with its surroundings. Just under the
topmost layer of skin there are dis
tributed all over the surface of the
body a number of cells, containing a
dark pigment. When these cells are
expanded the surface of the body be-
comes darkly spotted, but as they are
contracted the creature looks paler.
Though best developed in the sepia
and its nearest allies. nearly every
member of the cuttlefsh group pos
sesses an ink sac. The ink sac con
tains the dark pigment secreted by a
special gland. When discovered or
pursued by an enemy the sepia dis
charges some of its ink through a
sort of funnel or tube. The pigment
