think for those men to have gone into our barn 11i1d token our four lwrscs? We could have replaced those Iiorses. but we can't replace our oystci" beds. Why? because af- ter this rich syndicate from the city of Charlottetown. along with a few relations from Cherry Val- ley, had secured leases on our pm- ducing bvds they got nn order-in- muncil passed to close the whole of Powuval Buy, where there are hmidi-cds of acres of shore, and hundreds of barrels of oysters, and which at the present time is clo- sed to every person except, them- selves.

Studies of the Winter flounder prove that the eye of this fish is the organ which enables it to rake on the color of the sea bottom on which it lies, in order to deceive prey. When the head 0f the fish was placed against a black back- ground. its entire body turned very dark. and vice versa. The uncanny ability of this fish to copy a var- ied background was also shown by putting it against a black-and- While checkerboard which it rc- produced well enough to make it- self indistinguishable at a dist- ance of ten feet.—(Collier‘s.)
