nature lover and peep into the secrets
Of the plants, to be found everywhere.
The leaves are compound. There are
i've leaflets, and this Is always true
indication that 1t is not the dreaded
poison ivy, whose three leaves spell
'foe."
The famous creeper Is known from
Manitoba and Mexico to the Atlantic
Ocean. She Is known and respected,
too, in Cuba.
She Is q famous traveller, and her
mission in life is to cover waste places.
Watch how faithfully she performs
her task. While she is not quick
runner, she is sure and steady
creeper. Over the fence she crawls,
and leaves the unsightly places be-
hind her covered with her pretty
leaves, lovely berries and vivid stems.
Slowly she climbs up the sides OF the
woodshed, or travels over the old
dilapidated dwellings, with their
caved-in roofs, all sad and sorry look
ing sights, and reminders that some
one has ceased to love the places
and has left them to decay and
oblivion.
Even tall trees have their trunks
entwined with the lovely creeper. In
stead of bare ugly trunk, the bright
leaves of the coverlet will cheer many
a passerby and the berries will feed
thousands of hungry birds on their
way to the sunny South, or, if they
have been missed on this trip, will be
. source Of food supply when the gay
little travellers come North again.
Have you ever examined the "feet"
OF the Virginia creeper? See how the
little soles are padded. Each branch
has a disk at the end that, once it
has fastened itself to an object, holds
on tightly. In about two days wee
tendrils arrange themselves securely
upon the surface. Then the curved
tips Of the tendrils swell, turn bright
red and form the little cushions. 1t
Is said that these little disks, or feet,
have q cement which they secrete
and use on the foundation to which
they attach themselves. Try and re-
move the plant as 1t establishes itself
and you will see how firm a grip 1t
has upon its support.
The Virginia creeper deserves more
appreciation than is usually accorded
It, Besides being sturdy and lovely,
bringing food and shelter to the
birds and adding beauty to the woods
and landscape, it has no bad habits.
It grows easily and never destroys the
objects upon which it clings. Many
an otherwise unsightly place is made
q thing of beauty by the presence OF
this plant.

Natives Of many lands catch small octopuses
and scrub them well against the rocks TO rid
the bodies of sepia and a soapy substance
which they also exude. Then the flesh is
ready to cook and is considered great deli
cacy
During a trip to the Hawaiian Islands We
studied the various fishing methods used by the
natives. Some were too gruesCme for us to
copy. One day We watched a native who was
fishing among the coral rocks that lined
Hawaiian beach. He caught small octopus
and put 1t up to his face to bite out its eyes.
The octopus wound its tenacles about his head
like so many snakes. 1t a hideous sight
and we were glad when it was over.
THE native knew what all scientists know,
that the nerve center Of the octopus is in
its eyes, When the eyes are destroyed the octo-
pus dies Through centuries of time Hawai-
ians have bitten out the eyes instead of cut
ting them out with a knife. Why they do such
a thing is Just another Of those unanswerable
questions.
Writers of fiction often cast the octopus in
the role of the villain Chen they tell an exciting
deep sea tale. They always write Of the hero
slashing and cutting away at the graSping
tentscles, trying to free himself If such writer's
would only make scientific study OF the octo-
puS, III sure we Woulu ItdC new NSISlOIH OA
the heroes escape.
Instead of wasting time and energy trying
to cut away the octopus tentacles. the hero
should thrust his knife into one of its eyes.
In that instant he would be free from danger,
for the octopus would sink slowly TO the bottom
OF the sea, hfeless mass.
Larger members Of the octopus family are
found out at sea. but sometimes they venture
too close to the shore, where they caught.
Fishermen caught along the Newfoundland
Coast not long ago. Its arms. or tentacles, were
"A feet long.
The family's giants i've in the Pacific and
the Indian Oceans Sailors consider them the
most loa athsome things in the Frank
Bullen. sailor who wrote true stories Of the
sea saw q battle between s giant octopus and
a fierce sperm whale The octopus was so large
its eyes were q foot IN diameter and its huge
arms were wrapped about the whales head.
A lot Of sepia ink was spilled IL the ocean that
day, but the whale won the battle and killed
the octopus.
The little sea horse has q trick that enables
him 10 look like a branch OF sea weed or coral
when danger threatens. His tail Is like mon
keys. in that he can coil 1t about sea foliage
and keep perfectly quiet, looking very much
like q branch instead of FISH. Again. using

It by his tail he catches food that chances to

IA /HEN the natives see a large fish or turtle
w swimming through the clear water. they
release the sucker and he swims down and at
taches himself to the victim. The natives pull
on the line tied about the suckers tail
and both are brought to the surface. After each
catch the sucker is given a small piece OF the
meat as a reward.
In the open sea the sucker is a gigolo and
hitch mixer. He attaches himself TO the shark
and goes places and things without so
much as the flip Of fin. He prefers the shark
as a travelling companion because the shark
tears his food TO pieces when he feeds Small
bits Of flesh floating about are just what the
sucker fish wants and he has an easy living

THE male sea horse has another trick by
J which he protects the young. He collects
the eggs which the female sea horse lays, and
stores them In a little leathery pouch, which
nature has given him for that purpose. and
which Is similar to the pouch of the kangaroo.
There the eggs hatch and when the young
are born this pouch is their cradle. 1t is also
a refuge for If they are swimming about and
danger threatens, they hurry to 1t for pro-
lection
The sea horse belongs to the family of fish
called pipe fish because of the pipelike shape
of their mouths. But he gets his name because
of his bright, prominent eyes. the shape of his
mouth and two little fins the top of his head.
These create in general, the appearance of
horses head.
The sea horse is so popular with the general
public that the New York City Aquarium finds
a ready market for mounted specimens, which
they SELL one to a box, for a small sum.
When Columbus returned to Europe after
his second voyage he told of a remarkable fish
he had seen while at Cuba. He said the natives
tied line around the hsh'S tail and sent it
down into the sea to catch fish in the manner
a falcon is sent into the air to catch birds.
None of Columbus hearers could imagine
such a thing. They thought it was just another
fish story. Today the art is a lost one in Cuba,
but the natives of Zanzibar use this f1sh, the
remora sucking fish, q living hook to
catch other fish.
The remora is small. He only grows so-odd
inches in length. He has no need to grow
larger, for he has developed in another way.
Through centuries Of evolution his dorsal I'm
has gradually changed into a perfect sucking
disk on the top of his head and shoulders.

tissue and set with fine spines.

There is a savage member Of the fish family
called by fishermen the devil. He
tricks his fellows to decth as artfuly as any
gangster who ever took another for ride. His
real name is angler or goose fish.
On his head are little growths which look
like the worms that little fish love to eat. He
sinks to the bottom Of the water, into the mud
or reeds, but lets these little wormlike growthS
stick up above his hiding place The fish,
attracted by what they think are worms, swarm
around. Then the angler jumps up from the
mud and catches them.
He is an ugly creature. He has frightful
mouth armed with rsSp-like teeth, and as he
attains a length in some waters of five feet. he
is naturally terror TO smaller fish. But, as
he only move very slowly he has to resort
to trickery to catch his prey He walks along
the bottom Of the sea on his broad fms. With
these he stirs up the sand and mud to hide
himself. which arouses the curiosity of other
fish and draws them near.
