OLD-FASHIONED PIGEONS
Cairo OP — The authorities
have discovered that Egyptian
pigeons just will not accept
modern ways.
Ten clean, modern lofts,
costing LE 5,000 ($14,350)
were built recently in villages
around the port of Damietta
along the Mediterranean coast.
Government engineers de-
signed the lofts to foster pig-
eon raising along the most
modern lines, building them
of cement and bricks.
■ ■ The pigeons fled“ and never
returned. *
Bird experts announced
their analysis: The pigeons
could not adapt to life inside
the 'cement lofts ^pecause the
nests were too small and it
was too hot during the day
and too cold at night.
The result: The Damietta
gpvernor ordered the lofts re-
built on the old style — with
mud and unbaked bricks.

birds, went fishing, and rode
up and down sand dunes in a
balloon-tired jalopy.
But the main objective was
to study the area’s curious
marine life. On -one chilly
dawn foray, the Zahls collected
specimens of Anthropleura, a
genus of saucer-s i z e d sea
anemones that inhabitrPacific
shore waters from Panama to
Alaska.
These green — often mul-
ticolored — flowerlike crea-
tures are members of the same
animal phylumas the Portu-
guese man-of-war. Character-
istic of the coelenterates is the
presence of thousands of mi-
croscopicc sting cells in the
outer skin layer. The Portu-
guese man-of-war, however,
injects a poison dangerous to
man, while the stings of most
anemones harm only the small
marine animals they eat.
Protected Between Tide*
Like other sea life along the
coast, anemones are equipped
by nature to avoid the drying
effects of sun and wind. Be-
tween tides they contract into
ugly slime-colored lumps.
Bivalves draw in their soft
tissues and snap shut at low
water. Worms retreat into
casements. Crabs and other in-
vertebrates take refuge in sea-
weed, or vanish into sand or
moist, crevices. Sea stars and
sea urchins have armorlike
coverings to prevent the loss
of internal moisture.
Dwellers of the intertidal
zone also have extraordinary
resistance to physical shocks
of their environment. Once Dr.
Zahl watched a miniature for-

nimbus cloud forms a giant
elephant’s trunk that dips

sways, generally moving rath-

emits strange sounds — sighs,
.hisses, hums, and crashes —
constituting a warning to the
shipping that it can seriously
damage.
Monster Proved Harmless
An eyewitness gave this re-
port of two waterspouts he
saw in the Gulf of Finland:
“I saw a mass of clouds,
blue-black in color, and im-
