In many schools pupils study
famous poem called The Cham
bered Nautilus" 1t was written by
Oliver Wendell Holmes and tells
about the life of an animal of the
sea.
"As the spiral grew" wrote Holmes.
''he left the past years dwelling for
the new built up its idle door,
stretched in his last-found home
and knew the old no more"
The chambered nautilus also has
the name of "pearly nautilus" 1t is
found in some parts of the Pacific
and Indian Oceans, chiefly around
the Island of New Guinea and the
Philippines, also along the coasts of
India.
The pearly nautilus was so named
because of the pearly inside of its
shell. During life, while the animal
moves about under water, the out
side of the shell does not glow with
the beauty of a pearl. The shell of
a dead animal can be treated with
acids so the pearly layer is brought
into view.
At the start of life the young
pearly nautilus has only a small,
horn-shaped shell. It's body grows
inside this shell, then sends out
material which forms new and
larger living place.
The first home is closed off with

West opened the queen of dia-
monds, and South won with the ace.
1t was Immediately obvious to South
that he couldn't afford to ruff out
his three losing diamonds, for then
he would have to get back to his
hand each time by ruff1ing clubs
Eventually that line of play would
leave him too trump weak.
The only other chance was to
set up dummy's spade suit, but
even this presented difficulties. To
draw trumps first would allow the
opponents to cash diamond tricks
and to leave the trumps at large
would allow an opponent to ruff the
third round of spades.
Since drawing the trumps was
bound to be ruinous, South had
to risk the spade ruff. At the second
trick he led the ten of spades, and
let it ride for a finesse. East won
with the queen of spades and re-
turned the club ace. South ruffied
and continued his scheme by leading
the five of spades East won with
the spade ace and assumed that his
partner held the jack of spades.
Abandoning all thought of a spade
return, East tried a second round
of diamonds. Thereupon South
breathed a sigh of relief for he was
able to ruff in dummy. draw trumps,
and discard his remaining diamonds
on dummy's spades.

a wall and the body grows inside the
second chamber, one end of which
is open. Over and over again this
happens until a dozen or more
chambers have been formed.
Only the last chamber is a real
living place during each stage of
the animals life. The old chambers
are empty except for special kind
of gas and a thin tube which runs
from the body through the walls of
the many chambers.
At the open end of the shell the
nautilus has number of "tentacles"
around its mouth. There are seven
or eight dozen of these tentacles
and they are useful in bringing food
to the place where it Is wanted
The food is made up of small crabs
and other creatures of the sea.

Some knowledge of the pearly
nautilus seems to have existed in
Europe in ancient times. Aristotle
wrote about an animal which prob
ably was the same one, but did not
say enough about it to make us
quite certain about the point.
Close modern study did not take
place until the year 1929 when
British traveller in the South Pacific
found and took home a specimen.
That was the year in which Oliver
Wendell Holmes graduated from
Harvard at the age of 20.
The pearly, or chambered, nau-
titus is too rare to have much to do
with the worlds food supply, but in
a few places 1t has been captured in
oyster pots. In some parts Of India
the body is salted, dried and served
as food.
