Anatomy of nn Oyster
To discover the heart of an oyster
the fold of flesh which oystermen call
the mantle must be removed This
is fatal to the oyster of course but in
the interest of science and for the ben
efit of the curious it Is occasionally
done When the mantle has been re
moved the heart shaped like a cres
cent or horned moon Is laid to the
view The oysters heart is made up
of two parts just like that of a hu
man being one of which receives the
blood from the gills and the other
drives it out through the arteries The
liver is found In the Immediate vicin
ity of the heart and stomach and is a
queer shaped little organ which is
supposed to perform all the functions
of a blood filter Every oyster has a
mouth a heart a liver a stomach and
other necessary Internal organs in
cluding a set of cunningly devised In
testines The mouth is at the small
end of the oysters body near the
hinge of the shell It is oval in shape
and though not readily discovered by
an unpracticed eye It may be easily
located by gently pushing a blunt bod
kin or similar Instrument along the
folds of the surface of the body at the
place mentioned Connected with the
mouth is the canal which the oyster
uses In conveying food to the stomach
from whence It passes Into the curious
little set of netted and twisted intes

Has the Wasp Affection
A colony of wasps made a nest in the
dark room of a studio last summer At
first the party who used the room did
not relish their company but for cer
tain reasons he did not molest them
He paid no attention to the little buz
zers and they came and went at their
own sweet will After a time he began
to study them and soon came to the
conclusion that they were gradually
becoming acquainted with him his
ways and his dark room One day a
stranger was seated on the window sill
The first wasp entering the room paid
no attention to him but made for the
old crack in the wall Then out came
a big fat fellow who darted through
the open window like a bullet Within
five minutes half a dozen wasps came
with a rush at the stranger and two
of them located him But the writer
has never been touched by his wasp

Raters Sailabouts and Larks
What is a rater a sailabout a lark
is a question commonly heard among
those not familiar with yachts and
technical racing terms A rater is
thirty eight feet long and carries the
double sails sloop rig and jib The
half rater is thirty two feet long car
ries the same style sails as the rater
and usually gets a five minute handi
cap in rater races The sailabout car
ries a single large sail and is built on
graceful lines with rounded sides and
ends while the lark has square sides
and ends and carries the single sail
Few larks are built now Most of the
yachtR recently built have the double
centerboard The centerboard pre
vents drifting sidewise and the single
board is often entirely out of water
during heavy winds hence the use of
the double board
Ceylon Sharks
Sharks infest the waters of Ceylon
and the pearl divers of that region are
in deadly fear of these wolves of the
deep The divers are mostly Tamils and
Moormen and display marvelous en
durance and pluck To protect them
selves against the ever present danger
to which the presence of the sharks ex
poses them the divers carry charms
given them by recognized shark bind
ers who receive a small government
fee and a dozen oysters a day from
each boat Owing to the constant
noise and splashing the sharks are
generally kept at a distance and acci
dents are rare

Og the famous king of Bashan men
tioned in Deuteronomy had a bedstead
nine cubits long or about sixteen and
a half feet It is doubtful whether
Og himself was of the full length of
his bedstead Many bones of reputed
giants have been found in different
countries of the world and uninformed
people hastily concluded that the men
to whom these bones were supposed
to have belonged must have been from
fifteen to thirty feet in height All
such remains have been proved to be
those of the gigantic animals existing

senate are com
ing strongly in
to favor In
many states party conventions have re
cently declared in favor of amendment
of the constitution so as to permit of
election of senators by popular vote
in the absence of constitutional au
thorization for such a method of elec
tion at the present time the party or
ganizations in a number of states have
adopted a plan which provides the
nearest approach to popular election of
senators that can be obtained without
a change In the constitution
This Is the plan of voting at the
primaries for the party nominees for
senate seats By this system the sena
tors are elected by the legislatures ac
cording to the method provided in the
constitution but the party majorities
in these bodies are expected to respect
the will of the rank and file as ex
pressed at the primaries This plan
was tried at the recent primaries in
Illinois Indeed at these primaries the
voters balloted not only for senators
but for congressmen and other officers
from sheriff up thus doing away with
the holding of party conventions for
the nomination of such officers The
Democrats made no nominations for
the seat In the senate to be filled
Among the Republicans there were
three leading candidates Shelby M
Cullom Richard Yates former govern
or of Illinois and William G Webster
Mr Cullom now holds the seat which
is to be filled and the Republican

ers decided on instructing the next leg
islature should it be Republican to
send him back to the senate
In Ohio the question was brought to
the front by Representative Theodore
E Burton
The recent Republican state conven
tion adopted a declaration favoring
nomination of candidates for state of
fices at the primaries It said In re
spect to senatorial elections
Until otherwise provided by law when
a United Slates senator is to be chosen
notice shall be given to the Republicans
of the state that the delegates to the
state convention In addition to making
other nominations shall indorse a can
didate for United States senator so that
at the primaries the Republican electors
of the state In the selection of delegates
to the state convention may have oppor
tunity to express their preference as to
candidates for that office
This is not as radical a plank as was
favored by Congressman Burton
In Wisconsin the direct nomination
idea was for years a pet feature of the
scheme of reforms urged by Senator
La Foilette As governor he advocated
this plan in season and out of season
claiming that doing away with conven
tions nominating party candidates for
state offices and for membership in the
house of representatives by direct vote

Petroleum
The first mention of petroleum In
America was mado by Father De la
Roche dAIlien a Franciscan in 1029
It may be a surprise to many people to
kno that both the product Itself and
the names petrol and petroleum were
familiar at least as far back as the
middle of the fourteenth century In the
Sloane manuscript fifteenth century
mention Is made both of rock oil and
of the correct derivation of the name
which is mediaeval Latin and of
course has nothing to do with Peter
Petroleum oleum est factum de petra
Galllce petrollle Petroleum Is an
oil made from rock In French
troille The property of drawing
fire had struck the Imagination long
before the work quoted In Nature
was published In 1596 Lodge used It
In a metaphor As the clay petrol
draweth fire so the looks do gather
affection The word petrol or petreol
disappeared from English and did not
return until the days of the motor car
industry when it was reintroduced
from the French in the sense of refined
petroleum

3ns the Paris Figaro sought the views

once began to rail at duels with pistols
He could not bear even to speak of

Then you disapprove of them simply

Soldiers In Battle
It is important to be cool and self
possessed at the beginning of a fight
writes one who has commanded men
in battle As soon as the first shot is
fired men become serious and go into
action with a calmness which is most

with their deafening noise make the
most impression on young and unsea
soned soldiers while shrapnel affects
the old soldiers the most Those who
Imagine that it is possible to see a
heroic look on mens faces at a de

hard look about them The struggle
which is going on within them betrays
itself by the nervous haste of their
firing

cities which can claim to be mosqui

Denver is one of them and strange to
say Grand Rapids Mich only a short

is that the city is built on hillocks of
drift sand so deep and so finely pul

tissue paper Stagnant water does not
get a ghost of a chance to accumulate

Golf and the Liver
Golf is the greatest of all games It
Is the only recreation that is at one and
the same time health giving and a
complete preoccupation without being
unduly physically exhaustive But I
am profoundly convinced that it Is far
better for a mans liver that he should
play a poor game than a good one I
know from personal experience that it
is far better for the liver to play a
really bad game Nothing stirs up the
liver like the irritation the excitements
and the paroxysms of a really bad
game London Graphic

One day the professor commanded his
dog to jump but held out no stick
At first the dog seemed surprised and

barked very vigorously as if to com
plain of the absurd and ridiculous com
mand to jump when no stick was held
