Freaks of Nature

The blue-rayed limpet snail Is an
unusual example of protective colora-
ton.
The young snail feeds on iridescent
leaves of one of the larger sea.weeds,
and is possessed of an oval, thin, semi
transparent shell, ornamented with
vivid blue lines running from the beak
to the margin, and can hardly be dis
tinguished from its food.plant.
But in later life It prefers to feed
upon the rounded stalk, and finally
the roots Of the sea-wecd, which are
entirely devoid of iridesccnce. 1t
therefore adapts itself to its newly
chosen surroundings. The mature
limpet now scoops out a cavity in the
sea-wced, and becomes actually part Of
the root or stem.

Life's Hurdles
BY L. E. Bisch

There is a cause for everything.
All fears have a basis and many
go back to childhood.
Among the commonest is fear of the
dark.
Adults are to blame usually il such
a fear develops, because a baby, in
it's earliest days, sleeps peacefully in
the dark.
Usually it is only after children
hear about bears and wolves and
bobgoblins that they become afraid.
Thus adults can make children fear
full.
The dark is, of course, a place of
mystery.
In imagination we readily people
the dark with all sorts Of grotesque
and often hidcous figures and shapes.
Again, the dark harbors the I'M
known.
And the unknown, from time i'm
memorial, has been awe-inspiring.
Another reason why darkness is up
setting to peace of mind is because
it deprives US Of sight.
Not to see with the eyes shut is
natural.
But not to be able to see with the
eyes opcn-as when in the dark-is
unusual and disturbing.
Children, of course, are affected by
all these things much more than
adults.
The experience of adults steadies
them.
1t is questionable whether any adult
would be afraid of the dark were it
not for the implanting Of the fear
earlier in life.
Parents make grave mistake when
they use the dark as a means of
frightening children. Not only does
the child accept what the parents say,
but in his own imagination he en-
larges upon it and makes the dark a
much more forbidding place than was
intended.
In this way children eau become
terrorized.
Therefore, always reassure a child
about tie dark.
If he shows timidity, take him by
the hand and prove TO him that moth
ing is going to grab him or jump
out ut him.
Encourage him later to venture out
alone-you remaining within earshot
and talking back and forth all the
while.
Before long you will be surprised To
find the child trying it out by him
self-proud Of his courage.
II an adult is afraid Of the dark,
search should be made for the child
hood cause that is responsible.
Often no more than the discovery
Of the cause will be sufficient to re.
move the fear.
But whatever the cause, find II.
