STARFTSH LIKE OYSTERS

Starfish destroy nearly 100000
worth of oysters yearly at Long
Island Sound. The creature forces
the oyster open by sheer muscular
strength. It's arms are covered on
the under side with little suckers.
1t applies two or three of its arms
to one valve of the shell and the
remaining ones to the other valve.
Then, by merely stretching it's arms,
it finally pulls the oysters shell
open. In the center of the starfsh's
body, on the under side, is small
hole.
This is its mouth. out of which it
is able to project its stomach to a
distance equal to the length of one
of its arms. The stomach turns it,
self inside out, envelops the fieshy
part of the oyster and digests it as
it lies in the shell. Oystermen used
to chop in two the starfishes they
caught and threw them overheard,
until it was learned that this was
only making two starhshes out of
one,r as the two halves grew other
arms.
Starfish eggs are spherical and
very small. They lie on the bottom
of the ocean until Matched, where
upon the larvae swim about for some
days until attaching themselves to
convenient blades of eel grass. Then
they undergo rapid Transformation,
assuming the adult shape. AS an
experiment, one young starfish one
quarter of an inch in diameter put
in dish with fifty-odd CLAIMS, each
as long as it's arms, gobbled up
nearly all of them in a week.-pe-

TIME IS LOST
IN VIOLATIONS
Summary of Middle Division
Violations Prove This;
Safety First

Interesting figures are given in a
special discipline bulletin issued by
j. c. Johnson, superintendent of the
Middle division of the Pennsylvania
railroad. These bulletins are a part
of the Safety First" movement on
the Pennsy, and show violations of
rules and practices.
Superintendent Johnson has pre-
pared q summary of the discipline
bulletins issued during October. and
refers to the loss of time as u result
of "thoughtlessness and careless
ness" He adds:
1T does not seem possible that it
should be necessary to discipline en-
ployes for not taking the proper pre-
caution or care in their daily work,
when their own safety and that OF
their fellow workmen are the ones
involved. Think and act safely at
all times and you will avoid injury
and make the railroad safe for your
Self and Others" The summary fol-
lows:
October Summary
One hundred and four employees
reprimanded; 3 employees suspend

pended two days: 12 employees sus-

Pig Clubs Financed
by Chamber Of Commerce
Did Wonderful Work

Farmers boys and girls through
out the county were enabled to par
ticipate in the Boys and Girls Pig
Club contests during the past sum-
mer through the efforts of the Har-
risburg Chamber of Commerce
which financed their efforts where
their parents were unable to do so,
according to an announcement at
the Chamber offices to-day.
Through one of the banks, the
Chamber of Commerce enabled the
boys and girls who wished to COM
pete for the prizes offered in the pig
contests, to borrow the necessary
money for the purchase of a pig at
he beginning of the season. Ar
rlngements were made through the
Chamber whereby the youths bor-
rowing the money, would not have to
repay it if the porker thus purchas-
ed should die before the end of the
season. In one case, the owner of
a pig purchased in this manner lost
it through disease, and the debt
against the youngster was Cancelled.
In order to borrow the money the
approval of the farm agent, II. G.
Niesley had to be secured in most
cases by the young farmers. Mr..
Niesley gave his personal supervis-
ion to the efforts Of the young pig
growers to assure the success of
their ventures
William Crum, of Lower Paxton
township. won first prize in the coun-
ty and first prize in his club, in the
pig contest. He raised porker
which gained 1.9 pounds during 1875
consecutive days. The first prize
for the county. a fine full bred Bcrk-
shire pig, was contributed by the
Chamber of Commerce.
The Chamber of Commerce is ac-
tive in promoting the work of the
farm bureau among the AGRICULTURAL
districts of the county, contributing
to the upkeep of the bureau through
a donation of office space and money.
