Sea Hem Attracts
Attention In Show
WindczU of Jeweler

C. A. Beitel. West Jersey ave-
nue. jeweler has on display in his
show window a curved piece OF
red cedar. carved by the action OF
sea waves into a startling repre-
Isentation of a compound of bird,
animal and reptile.
One end of the piece of drift
wood has been shaped into the
likeness of the head of a hen, the
beak, comb and ear feathers being
outlined clearly. The body resem-
bles that of a seal, with flappers
and rounded back, while the tail
curves out it's length smoothly IN
imitation of snakes body.
The curio was found several
years ago by Mr.. Bethel on the
beach off Steel Pier. While red
cedar is a wood common to New
Jersey, it is possible, according to
the owner, that it may have been
washed from some foreign shore.
RED cedar is an extremely hard
wood" says Mr.. Bethel, "and 1t
must have taken the waves many
years to wear away the softer por-
lions of the wood to form this
strangely shaped sculpture
The "sea-hen" is the object or
much curious interest in the part
of the passersby on West Jersey
avenue.
