LEAVES WATER TO TAKE PREY
How the Moray, Tropical Fish, Pur
sues the Crab Which II Is
Seeking for Food.

University Of Iowa scientists on
recent expedition to Barbados and
Antigua in the tropical Atlantic found
fish which voluntarily left the water
In pursuit Of food. following Its prey
across rocky or sandy beaches.
This fish. the moray. has not the
slightest fear OF human beings. With
bait tied to piece of string members
Of the Iowa party led the moray on
and on across the beach, all crowding
about the fish to watch the experiment.
The moray followed as far as n hun
bred feet or more from the water,
wriggling across the rock and finally
being permitted TO capture the crab
used as bait. Then the fish turned
quickly and. by following the slope of
the shore soon found its way back to
the water.
II is q common sight where the mo-
rny are plentiful to find them chasing
crabs and other food up the crevices
IN the rocks leaving the water with
out the slightest fear. The moray Is
an extremely voracious fish with big
mouth and long. pointed teeth. and
when It's jaw once closes on Its victim
the catch is sure.

She just kept on going down hin in

she got so weak and nervous she
would shake like leaf when she ex-

than ten minutes at a time without
stopping to rest. Hire digestion was

She was nearly always constipated

she kept on losing what little strength
she had left.

paper by a fellow officer about how
much good Tanlac had done him and

wife and it beat anything / ever saw
the way she began to improve. Her
appetite came back within a few days
and she could eat anything she want

headaches and nervousness disappear

She took six bottles of Tanlac and
gained as much in weight and strength
she now does all the housework with
