Recent Discovery Made

OYSTERS GOTO SLEEP
An oyster has the ability to gen
eral it's own anaesthetic and go to
sleep which explains why the bivalve
can live out of the water several days
permitting their transplantation to
se'ected growing areas or shipment to
inland markets. While it has been a
well known fact that the oyster could
live for days after its remove.
water, it was not known until re
cently why this was possible.
Recent studies conducted at the
U S Fisheries Biological Station by
Dr. Herbert F. Prytherch, reveals
that the ability of the oyster to sur
vive outside its natural environment
is due to the fact that it puts itself
in a suspended animation or narcosis
soon after the shell is closed, which
generates a narcotizing substance
within its shell which causes com
plete cessation of heart action, blood
circulation, cileary movement and
general inhibition of all living acti-
"The substance U3ed in this inter
esting and efficient process," says Dr.
Prytherch, "is the carbon dioxide se
creted by the gills and other tissues
which rapidly accumulates m the
closed shell and puts the oyster to
sleep. The carbon dioxide not only
acts as an anaesthetic but also
changes the shell liquor from alka
line to a slightly acid condition

Eels, Crabs, Plants And
Flowers Are Expressed
AH sorts of perishable things are
moving from Beaufort these days by
railway express. Thine is probably
no other railroad station in America
from whence such a variety is
shipped. During the past week obser
vations made at the Beaufort station
nf the Norfolk Southern revealed
crates, barrels, boxes and hampers,
packed with such odd things as son
crabs. 'hard crabs, diamond bacK ter
rapins, clams, escallops, cabbage and
tomato plants, bull nogs . . and
eels. Express shipments will grow
heavier from Beaufort each week
now as the growing season advances.
In a few more weeks the Hayne
Farm will start shipping their qual
ity gladiolus. The variety of perish
ables shipped only prove what an
unusual area we have east and north
of Beaufort.

A Small Craft Fleet At Morehead City
Dozens of sails dotted the verdant waters adjacent to Morehead City and
eaufort last Sunday, the first day so far this year that many of the
mailer crafts have left their mooring. But the day was periect lor sa.i-
,g, warm enough but not hot, wind enough but no gaie.
nd the editor of the Beaufort News have considered suggesting to small
raft owners to dye their sails various pastel colors so that our waters
ould have individuality like the Mediterranean coast of Europe. It
ould be made the boat loving talk of America. The above is a Eubanks-
ews photo made during a recent regetta ot tne moreneau
Champion Bull Frogger
Again Stalks His Game
Henry Noreom who is the cham
ninn hiill-froeerer of Carteret county
and perhaps North Carolina is again
stalking the belowing amphibians in
nearby swamps and pools. Just off
the Laurel road one night this week
he captured 53 frogs which is not
considered as an unusual catch by
Noreom. During the past several
years he has caught thousands of
frogs, not for food purposes, but
instead for biological study. They
are usu. ly shipped to colleges in
North Carolina and other states
where s udents cut the specimans to
pieces : id learn the intimate things
about r dead frog. But Henry Nor-
i(com sp cializes in their intimate
habits while alive, where they live
and how they can be captured . . .
as a result as a frog catcher he is a
champion.

Henri Merz, Artist
Henri Merz, native of Switzerland,
who was commissioned last year by
Morehead Properties, Inc., to put on
canvas colorful scenes proposed for
this area, including the Port Develop
ment and Money Island Beach, is
expecting to go to Angola on the
west coast of South Africa in July.
There he will be employed by a Bel
gium and Portugal commission as
a topograpmcai c6iu'. --b
a Portugal possession.
If you know your art the above
caption may explain everything, oth
erwise . . . Anyway what is believ
ed to be a priceless piece of ait is
a tempera pastoral owned by Wald
ron Bailey, lyric writer and author
who also owns and lives in the most
attractive cottage of Bogue Park,
Morehead City.
Han. Bnre-kmair. a German paint
er, born in 1473, died in 1531, was
one of the greatest Teutonic paint
ers. He lived during the Hans Hol
bein and Durrer art period accord
ing to Henri Merz. Oil paints had not
been discovered up to mat time, ana
the process employed was the use of
tempera.
The painting, a pa.itoral or rural
scene, came into the hands of Author
Waldron Bailey when he purchased
a farm-house years ago at Mt. Kisco,
N. Y. It was many months before
he discovered the signature which is
hardly visible to the naked eye to
day, but it has been identified as the
word Burgkmair.

Other odd shaped stones and

about half a nail keg full of
