JelIyfish Are Poisonous.

Unfortunately, as soon as the water
warns up swarms of jellyfish infest
the channel and many of them are
of the type whose bite is pisonous.
During the day a jellyfish can be seen
from the accompanying tug and the
swimmer. can be warned to avoid it,
but at night this is impossible, and
several previous contenders have
struck into a shoal of jellYfish, which
have given him an uncomfortable re-
ception. Miss Kellerman had very
uncomfortable experience of this kind
during her second swim.

Plants Set Traps
for UnDory Insects

Certain plants, like certain people,
require strong foods. Not satisfied
with the nourishment derived from the
soil, they require flesh and blood Such
plants exist by the consumption OF in
sects and small animals, and are to be
found In bogs and marshes In tropical
countries. All carnivorous plants are
endowed with a sense of taste, and a
tasty morsel Of meat is speedily de-
vouredl The side-saddle plant, found
IN parts of America, sets water traps
for its victims. This plant holds up
to the sunlight vase-like leaves, around
the mouths Of which are glands that
secrete honey. Tempted by the scent,
the insects make their way across the
leaves to the mouth Of the plant; far
ther and farther they wander down the
tube, looking for the honey. Detentive
hairs prevent their exit and. tired and
weary, they eventually fall into the
pool secreted at the bottom of the leaf
The common sundew captures dragon
flies and ants. Attracted by the gum
my appearance of the rosy leaves, the
feet of the visitors become securely
fixed to the gum, and the red tentacles
close in on the unwary insects.

HIS EIGHT INAUGURAL

When Calvin Coolidge takes the
oath of office as President of the
United States on the 4th OF March, it
will be his eighth inaugural cere-
mony in nine years. During that time
he has been inaugurated President of
the United States one, vice president
once, governor of Massachusetts twice
and lieutenant governor OF the bay
state three times. The president, who
is soon to enter upon full term as
head of the nation, has taken oath
of public office five times in Boston,
once in Washington, and once in
Plymouth, Vt All ceremonies have
been simple, always favored by fair
weather. AS almost everyone recalls,
Coolidge's inauguration as twenty
ninth president of the United States
being an emergency one-was sol
emnly performed in his fathers house
at Plymouth, where the vice president
had gone for his summers vacation.

Able to Endure Long
Periods of Fasting

Some curious facts with respect to
the capacity for fasting as exhibited
by various animals are cited by Sleg-
mund Urabin in the Umchau Crank
furt), according TO the Detroit News
BE begins by observing:
"The power of the camel to do with
out taking food Is regarded in most
works on zoology as representing sci
entifc peculiarities of animals. But II
there were a general knowledge of the
ability Of many animals to fast for
very long periods of time these In
stances would not be so overem-
phasized. 1t Is, indeed. generally
known that even mammals are able to
fast for months during their winter hi
bernadon, but 1t seems to be almost
unknown that the same power exists
among the lower animals The power
Of fasting is much more widespread IN
them than was formerly supposed"
Mr.. Urabin then refers to an expert
ence Of his youth when he put certain
snails which had already withdrawn
into their shells and closed the opening
thereof, as is their custom, into a box,
whereupon he forgot them for a period
of more than year and a half. He
supposed they were inevitably dead,
but when he put them into vessel
filed with water, much to his surprise,
they came out of their shells and
crawled gaily about on the table.

A GOOD TEXT.

1.-THE kind of a booster we like"
says a contemporary, 'is tie one who
spends his money at home. Boosting
by word of mouth is fine, and it helps
but boosting business by trading at
home is even better. Be selfish
enough to spend your money where
you will have chance to get it
back"
Be loyal citizen to the interests
of Delta and vicinity. Deal with your
friend and neighbor. 1t will be to the
mutual advantage of both yourself and
your community. Delta is your town
and my town. Let's work and boost
for it.
