Ger" then breaks of and becomes an
individual, free-living creature-a
baby sea nettle. Then the process is
repeated and another individual pro-
duced. Thus from single egg come
quite a number of sea nettles.
The risk, of course, is very great
and only small percentage OF the
number Of eggs laid ever go through
the whole cycle. If this we're not so
the rate of reproduction would be
so enormous that there would be room
in the seas for nothing but creatures
of this sort.
But it can easily be seen how great
is the reproduction rate when condi-
tions are even moderately favorable.
And in Chesapeake Bay just now, IT
seems, the conditions are very favor
able for the particular species that
are making life so miserable for bath
ers.
The water is comparatively quiet
and probably the temperature is well
adapted to the creatures. There must
be an abundant food supply. The
drought is popularity blamed for the
increase, since the sea nettles seem to
increase in drought years. Just why
this should be true is not very clear.
Like every other living thing the
sea nettle must eat-and what 1t eats
is rather important. 1t Is known to
devour considerable numbers OF
smaller creatures of its own race-the
so-called Ctenaphores. These cten-
aphores, in turn, eat oyster larvae. If
the sea nettle eats only ctenaphores
it may be a blessing in disguise and
owners of oyster beds are not very
enthusiastic about schemes for eradi-
eating it-however futile these may
be. On the other hand, it is by no

SEANETTLESSEEN
INCREASING IN BAY
w ater Animals Actually
Feeble Creatures Despite
Painful Sting.
BY THOMAS r.. HENRY.

The worst sea-nettle season Chesa-
peake Bay has yet experienced is at
its height-with some sheltered
coves literally gelatinous mass Of
the creatures.
They have been steadily on the in
crease for several years, according to
United States National Museum SCI
entists, because of some favorable
balance of nature which has become
established in this particular lacolity.
The drought may be one element in
this balance.
Not much can be done about it for
the time being-except to protect the
bathing beaches with fine nets. The
sensational increase in the number Of
sea nettles, these scientists point out,
has led to good many unfounded
reports of the animals behavior and
the virulence of its poison.
Actually the sea nettle is a feeble
creature-a member Of an enormous
family of water animals ranging from
the translucent hydrae of fresh-water
ponds and reservoirs to the terrible,
brilliantly colored Portuguese man-of-
war of the tropical waters with
tentacles 40 feet long apd, as de-
scribed by DR.. Paul Bartsch, Ma
tional Museum curator of mollusks,
''the hottest thing In the seas" 1t also
Is a close relative of the corals-the
island builders of the Southern seas
Some of the larger members of the
family are terrible stingers, but it is
by no means certain that even the
Portuguese man-of war itself could
kill human being, although If man
fell afoul of one he might easily be
scared to DEATH" or might drown
from fright.
The actual life history of the sea
nettle, together with other members
of the group, is one Of the most
fascinating stories in nature. These
creatures represent one Of the major
divisions of the animal kingdom, the
coelenterateS, and have a way Of
life which is paralleled by no other
animals.
Trigger Hair Sets
OF Poison Darts.
What actually happens when q
person is stung by a sea nettle Is
about as remarkable phenomenon
as one could imagtne-especially since
the animal looks to be about the
weakest of living things.
All around its flimsy tentacles are
literally millions of curious, highly spe-
cialized cells known as nematocysts.
Within each cell is packed, in a sort
of coiled lasso arrangement, a fine
filament with very sharp, and some
times beautifully ornamented, dart at
the end of it. On the outside of the
cell is trigger hair. The instant this
hair is touched 1t sets of automatically
the nerve connections of the lasso
which shoots out with an almost un-
believable force. It will shoot clear
through the body Of small fish or

means certain that the sea nettle
itself does not eat good many baby
oysters.
1t is about the most tenuous and
ghost like" of living creatures. Placed
upon a sheet of blotting paper it will
be almost entirely absorbed, like so
much water, leaving only a visible
trace. Washed on the beach, it van
ished as completely as any spot Of
moisture.
Yet it is material enough to leave
an impression IN plaster-of-paris and
imprints of the family have been
found in very ancient rocks. Nobody
who has been stung doubts that sea
nettle is a material creature.

DR.. Bartsch reports seeing natives OF

a Jelly fish he would run his hand
cautiously under the umbrella and de-
tach the tentacles and under surface

would throw into the coconut shell
while the umbrella itself was deposited
in the basket.
The umbrella portion, the harvest

and delicious food article. They were
not so communicative regarding the
use made of the carefully preserved
singing portion, but some Of them ad-
mitted that it formed the base for

Among the most interesting facts

The eggs are laid in the water.
They hatch as extremely tiny, free
moving, worm-like creatures. After a
brief period of freedom one of these
little phanulas, as they are called, set

attached and grows upright IN a form
known, as the scyphula. This becomes

Whitehill Big Hearted.
VX7H1TEHlLL allowed nothing
w more than four bases on balls
in his four inning term, but he
had his troubles. The left-hander
heaved four wide ones in a row to
Moore, first up in the Indian fourth,
then finished the inning smoothly. A
fine catch by Kuhel that brought
about a double-play was needed to
keep Whitehill out of difficulty in the
fifth and Dugas had to pick Trosky's
fly off the rightfield fence-a marvel
GUS catch-to prevent the Earl getting
into a jam at the outset of the sixth.
In his last session, the Earl had
two out when Cronin let a roller from
Hollands bat 60 through for an er-
ror Whitehill thereupon reeled off
10 poor pitches in succession. walking
Spencer and Averill to crowd the
sacks and half way putting Vosmik
on before this batter swung into
force play.
From the eighth inning on the slab
scrap was between Ralph Winegarner,
right-hander the Indians brought
back from Toledo, and Jack Russell,
last year the Nationals rescue worker
in chief.
1t appeared as though the Nationals
might shatter the deadlock in Wine
garner's first round on the hill when
with one out Travis poled a great one
to center for three bases. But Klumpp
watched a third strike go by and
Johnny Kerr grabbed Whitehill's bat
only to hoist out.

better in the tenth when sun got in

4 perspective since that
July afternoon when Jack Love-
lock and Bill Bonthron went to
the starting mark in the Palmer
Stadium in Princeton and broke
the world record for this dis
tance.
Now Glenn Cunningham has broken
the world indoor record and his 4:OS4
and Lovelock's 4:O7 and fraction
outdoors indicate more amazing future
possibilities for the mile than any
other running feature in our calendar
OF registered distances.
They are even talking Of a mile IN
4 minutes fiat. Will it ever come? To
achieve this miracle of human speed
a runner would have to do every
quarter in so seconds. A mighty tall
order; perhaps an impossible one.
Timing Tells Story.
NOW close students of modern run
~ ming know that the improved
records over the mile have been
solely due to a more enlightened con-
ception of timing. The term has no
reference to clocking a race; it relates
to the method of negotiating the mile
distance
Herein lies the difference between
runners of today and of the past
There were just as good runners IN
the old days as there are today. But
they did not time their effort properly.
Abel Kiviat, for example, would try
to equal, if not beat, SO in his first
quarter, an expenditure Of initial en-
ergy which cost him at least seconds
at the end

ords in distance running and one OF
