POISONOUS BITE OF FISHES
Attacks of the Octopus and Other Row
ers Of the Sea Are Explained
by Pieron.

1t used to be supposed that cutie
fishes suffocated crabs with their suck
ers and then tore them open with theiI
beaks. But the method Is more subtle
says knowledge. In 1895 Krause
showed that the secretion of the pos
terror salivary glands Of the octopus
was very toxic, and it was supposed
that the octopus gave a poisonous bite
But Pieron has recently shown that
the octopus at least does not bite the
crab until after death. The paralyzine
secretion is probably waited into the
crab with the respiratory current.
Similarly, in regard to bivalves II
was thought that the cuttlefsh forced
the valves asunder by fixing suckers
to each valve and then pulling in oppo.
site directions. But Pieron has shown
with cookies, mussels, scallops, and
the like that the toxic juice first par.
alyzes the adductor muscles. In the
case of the cookie the octopus breaks

gin of the shell, so that the s~alivary
juice may get in more readily. After

Art Never Grows Old.

A great work of art Is never old.
fashioned because 1t expresses In final
form some truth about human nature,
and human nature never changes-in
comparison with It's primal elements,
the mountains are ephemeral. A
drama dealing with the impalpable
human soul Is more likely to stay true
than a treatise on geology, writes Will
liam Lyon Phelps in the Booxman.
This is the notable advantage that
works of art have over the works Of
science, the advantage of being and
remaining true. No matter how inn
portant the contribution of scientific
books, they are alleged with inevitable
error, and after the death of their
authors must be constantly revised
by lesser men, improved by smaller
minds; whereas the masterpieces Of
poetry, drama and fiction cannot be
revised, because they are always true.
The latest edftion of a work Of science
is the most valuable; and in litera-
ture, the earliest.

Novel Bed for ParaIytIcs.

One of the great problems in certain
cases of spinal wounds with paralysis
is how to move the patient sufficiently
to make his bed and tend his wounds
without increasing his sufferings by
moving him. The new bed solves the
problem. Surrounding the bed just at
the edge of the mattress is a rectan-
gular framework of hollow metal pip
ing. Connecting the two parallel sides
are broad bands of webbing stretched
across the mattress, and on these the
patient lies. The two short sides of
the framework, the n at the head of
the bed and the other at the foot, are
connected by a geared wheel with a
vertical steel post S 10 that by simply

The UnspeakabIe Turk.

This expression came into general
use during the Bulgarian agitation of
1875, on its appearance in a published
letter Of Carlyle's to George Howard,
M. P, dated November "a: "The I'M
speakable Turk should be Immediately
struck out of the question, and the

an article on the "Nibelungen Lied"
he makes mention of 'that unspeak-

Lessons on the base drum" read
the sign in the window of the little
cottage where Barnaby Glinn lodged
and boarded. 1t had hung there for
over two years and was faded and
askew, for the cord supporting it to a
tack had become old and frayed.
No n ever came to take lessons
and passers-by smiled at the time-worp
legend. How could there be any les
sons necessary to learn to pound q
sheet of sheepskin with a padded club.
Where was the harmony or expression
as in reed or string instruments? Why,
Barnaby belonged to a band and was
its most poorly paid member. Any
body could drum.
"But I am an expert" insisted poor
Barnaby. Expression, why, the drum
has been the first token of civilization
with the worlds widest tribes. 1t is
full of wonderful possibilities of imi,
tation, thunder roaring waves, the
booming guns of battle, the tramp of
armies. Mufi1e it, and who could not
shed tears as 1t accompanies a solemn
death march? But the drum is under
rated, and I am moderated. Hence,
IL I can ever save a few thousand,
Theodosia will be waiting for me, and
we will go to live on a sung little farm
by the sea, where nature booms out
the true drum note among the mighty
breakers"
But the saving of the few thousands
was a slow progress,-and for bare
bread and butter, Barnaby vas COM

WORD FOR new YEAR
Fine Way, He Says, for North Dako-
tans to Help Win the War.

Bismarck, N. D., Dec. 31.-Great
assistance can be rendered by the
people of North Dakota by substitute
ing Ignite coal for anthracite and
bituminous coal the coming year, l.
P. Baker, federal fuel administrator
for North Dakota declared in a New
Years appeal to the people of the
state given to the Associated Press.
"In North Dakota" he said, "suc1
substitution will not only release
large quantity of coal for consump-
ton elsewhere, but, in addition, will
relieve the great mass of railroad and
other transportation equipment in
volved in the longer hauls from the
eastern coal fields.
"Our country" he continued, "is
possessed Of untold resources in coal,
gas and oil. Present demands, how
ever, are abnormal and greatly in ex-
cess of the available supply. Great
numbers of men are being withdrawn
from our industries, transportation
facilities are overtaxed, the cost of
production has become higher and
our allies daily require more from us.
It is imperative that the greatest
thought and care be exercised in the
handling and use Of fuel and the in
struments Of its production and dis
tribution. Only necessary use should
be made. In North Dakota great as
sistance may be rendered by substi-
tuting domestic Ignite which is avail
able in almost unlimited quantity for
anthracite and bituminous coal.
''The United States fuel admins
tration is an unusual instrument of
war time established by the president
for the purpose of encouraging the
production, conserving the supply and
regulating the distribution of fuel It
has been in existence but few short
! months. It stands to serve a great
| purpose, yet like every new thing, it
| will require patience, indulgence and
l cooperation on the part of those

"The year 1918 dawns in the midst
of the most comprehensive prepara-
tons for war ever made by a nation
of free people Extraordinary efforts
on the part of every loyal American
will be required. If, however, there is
kept in mind always the thought that
the effort is made that the enemies OF
the United States and humanity may
be overcome and forces disruptive Of
our better happiness and social struc
ture destroyed, conscious of the words
Of President Wilson calling forth thu
