Octopus Receives Crabs by Airplane

Cleveland.--The secret of the continued existence of Oedipus, the octopus, chief attraction of the John G. Shedd aquarium in Chicago, at last has come to light. Oedipus gets his dinners direct by plane from the Battery aquarium in New York. The pilot of a transport plane revealed on a short stopover here that the ship carried a consignment of special crab for Oedipus. The octopus gained notoriety recently by continuing his healthy existence in spite of all rules of procedure to the effect that octopi in captivity soon go to taxidermists.
