Most of us when we go In for diving have the very unpleasant experience’ of getting our nostrils full of water. Nature did not design man to be a -diving animal, otherwise she would have been as clever with his nose as she has been .with seal's, London Tit- Blits says. The seal is, without doubt, the clev- erest diver in the animal world, and his nose Is a very lngenious contriv- |6 ‘ance indeed. Each nostril is provided with muscles which close it hermetical- 1y at the owner's will. And the shape of the nose is such that when the nos- trils are closed not & drop of water can enter. t With seals the closing of the nostrils at the moment of diving has become an automatic process. This is wonderful enough, but we can see a still more remarkable appll- cation of the same principle in an ani- mal as far removed from the seal as chalk is from cheese. The seal Is_a_water animal.
