HE1FINDS A NEW WAY TO OPEN OYSTERS

WI E were going to have a

had prepared fine lunch for us
and we planned to build a fire
on the rocks and cook bacon and
prepare coffee.
So, we started off. It was a
beautiful day-just the kind Of
day for just this kind of picnic.
We reached the beach. but be.

ing derived" by which I mean
that it kept on growing, for it
has developed into many tissues
and organs that in the aggregate
now make up most Of the weight
Of your body.
i win be impossible for me
here to trace, all the steps by
which the middle layer OF your
sandwich-self- was an an.
parently very simple structure
consisting Of one kind Of cells
evolved into many different kinds
Of structures consisting Of many
different kinds Of cells. all Of
which. however, have certain
features in common.
Thus by a process Of Unfolding
there presently developed from
this middle layer, or mesoderm,
membrane that lines your alb.
domen, another that lines the
closed sack that lies on either
side between your ribs and your
lungs, another that lines the sac
that surrounds your heart, and
still another that lines all your
arteries.
Then shortly there began to ap.
pear some little centers that were
harder and more opaque than
their jelly-like surroundings and
that were in fact the beginning
OF your bony system.
Around these little spots and
specks and streals. of beginning
bone the jelIy.like cells began to
assemble into certain definite
groups and forms that soon
evolved into what you now know
as your muscles or your muscular
system.
There is, however, one featare
Of this middle layer that is i'm.
portant for you to bear In mind.
You win recall that it existed
as a sheet, then as mass of
jelly-like material in the early
stages when Il began to evolve
into different tissues ana organs.
It did not lie there a. some.
thing separate, loose, and apart
from these tissues and organs.

connected them, the idea being
represented by the glue that con.

envelope.
There was. however. this i'm.
portant difference. namely, that
this issue was elastic and per.
mitted the various structures
that 1t held together to move
each other with q certain degree
Of freedom.
This same widely distributed
tissue. which exists in your body
today is known as the connective
tissue and as such serves the
important purpose of connecting
you, or holding you together and
keeping your inside structures
from getting hopelessly mixed. Q
You see that, although vastly
changed in form, this same mid

connecting the other two layers
also vastly changed, in a most
intimate way; that all three OF
your original layers still exist, al
though not in their original

A full f1edged, though not full

round over their backs. Often their
beaks are hidden among the feathers
between the wing and the body. But
there are some curious exceptions to
this rule. The owl sleeps while sit
ting on a branch: while some Indian
parrots and bats sleep only when sus-
pended from tree.
A duck Is the most unconventional
Of all. This bird sleeps on the open
water. and during its slumbers pad
dies itself with one foot in circles to
avoid drifting to the shore.
Even such bulky animal as the
sloth sleeps upside down. hanging by
its four feet and with it's head tucked
between the fOrelegs.
The posture adopted by the do
nestle cat Is typical OF many other
animals, Foxes and wolves sleep
curled up with their noses and the
solea Of their feet all close together
and often covered by their tails.
Some animals sleep with their eyes
open. others with them closed. Nearly
all fish belong to the latter class, as
do also hares and snakes. Salmon and
sekfish are said never to sleep at all.

The ordinary man sleeps either on

has endured extreme fatigue or pro-
longed pain man may sleep in all
sorts of positions. Men have been OBJ
served to sleep when standing or walk
ing, when swimming the channel, or
driving horse. or even when bound
to the stake.
Some animals, too. are able to sleep
while standing. A dog, especially when
old, may do 80 occasionally; horse
often does, while an elephant never

STARS ARE PUT TO MANY
USES IN EVERYDAY LIFE
Smithsonian Institution Report
Describes Recent Achieve
ments of Scientists.

Among the recent developments and
achievements in the scientific world,
described by the Smithsonian institu.
ton in the latest Of its reports, just
out, are the many uses to which the
stars are put in everyday life.
DIR. w. w. Campbell, of Lick OBJ
servatory, writing on "Daily influ-
ences Of astronomy" gives many of the
interesting facts of the astronomical
knowledge and tells Of the application
of certain Of them.
For example, observations Of the
stars are supplying all nations with
accurate time; accurate maps Of con-
tinents and islands depend on astro-
nomical determinations Of their lati-
tudes and longtitudes; in America,
boundary lines between nations are
fixed by observations of the stars; the
sailing Of ships over long courses de-
termined from the work Of astronomers.
The age Of the earth Is discussed In
an article by Lord Rayleigh and sew
eral other scientists, each considering
the problem from the point Of view of
a different science. From a study Of
the rate of decomposition Of the radio
elements, Lord Rayleigh deduces
length of time Of around 1000, 100000
or 3,0OO,OO0,0OO years in that the
earth's crust has been suitable for the
habitation Of living beings.
Among the various anthropological
papers in this Smithsonian report IL
discussion by DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, of
the United States National museum
Of the color Of eyes, hair and skin
among old American families in which
there has been no admixture Of for
eign blood for three generations or
more.
The observations were made on
nearly 1900 individuals, male and fe-
male, from north and south and of
varying ages. Among the many con-
illusions reached the following are per-
haps Of most interest:
Two-thirds Of the males and three
fourths of the females showed skin
that may be classed as medium. In
only five per 1000 in males, but fifty
two per 1000 in females was the skin
plainly lighter than medium. Only one
among sixteen males and one among
fourteen females has real blond hair.
In approximately per cent in
males and but little more in females
the hair was fully black. In per
100 of males and five per 100 of fe-
males the hair is red or near red.

REPORT FOR NOVEMBER |, 1924

Dry warm weather during October
tor most part was considered to have

high condition of cattle and improved
condition of sheep, according TO re-
ports from stOckmen throughout the
state received by J. G. Diamond, ag-
licultural statistician for the Men
tana cooperative crop and livestock
reporting service. October weather
and roads We're also reported highly
favorable for moving stock, it being
indicated that of intended fall and
early winter marketings, about Y
per cent of cattle shipments and
about SO per cent Of sheep and lambs
had moved by November 1st. Except
in some western, north central and
south central localities where range
feed was reduced by earlier drouth
or hopper damage, the feed situation
{ continues to be reported satisfactory.
However, the hay crop for the state
as a whole is shorter than last year
and may result in local shortages if
