SKYRoCKRTs AMONG PIGEoNs.-A few days
since, while the wild pigeons were flying in
Immense numbers over the city. says the
Cleveland Plaindealer, Mr. George N. Baker,
the proprietor Of the pyrotechnic establish
ment at the corner of Perry and Superior
streets, thought he would see what effect the
fireworks would have upon the pigeons, and
upon trial discovered n new field for sporting
gentlemen to humOr their fancy. Just as a
large flock approached he sent Kissing through
their midst II half dozen heavy rockets, pro-
ducing wild and irrepressible CONSERVATION.
At once the vast flock would change its course,
dividing in all directions, and in many in
stances great numbers would come to the
ground and alight; offers would reverse their
course, while the greater number would come
down within few yards of the ground, wan
dering about in wild confusion. One heavy
rocket bursting Just beneath large flock, and
shooting out its hundred fiery, Kissing SER
pents, had the effect to send the whole brood
flying upward until it was lost to the sight
In many instances large numbers, diving in
wild confusion to the earth, were captured by
boys in the neighborhood.

LoBeTkRs.-Ths Season for taking these
crustacea has commenced, rs ws perceive At
the fish market, and In few DAYS and from
that to July we shall be greeted with the street
cries, fresh lob-good lob-flne lobsters.''
The lobster Is = very singular animal in its
growth and formation. 1t secretes itself with
renewed Before casting its shell it becomes
smaller, pining away till its slips out Of its
covering. II taken at that season 1t has some-
times been known to escape, by slipping out
and leaving only the shell In the hands of its
astonished captor; and it also has Sufficient
perception sometimes, when caught by a leg,s
to break off the entangled limb, which it can
well enough spare, as 1t has four pairs be-
sides its claws. 1t is rot deficient in organs Of
hearing and sight. Its eye is as complicated
in its organization as that OF a butterfly. In
form 1t appears ciumsy-especially when
large. rs it sometimes reaches twenty or thirty
pounds weight-but it is not SO in its motions.
1t can walk forwards, backwards or sideways;
it can move along the bottnm on its claws,
climb readily over the sea weed and rocks, or
swim to the surface. BY sudden flapping of
its tail it has been known to throw itself for
twenty feet, flying like bird.
In cold weather the lobster strikes off into
deep water, where it is warmer than near the
shore, And in the summer 1t returns to build
its nest and hatch its young. It is then that
they are taken i'm large quantities all along
our coast, from the Gulf OF Mexico to New
foundland, and they are equally abundant on
the other side of the Atlantic, being caught
near M the shores Of Scotland and Norway for
the English market. There Is no place where
this fishing is so extensively CARRIED on as on
the shores of this Stase, whefs million and a
quarter are annually taken.
Lobsters are taken in pots or traps OF basket
work, that are made like a mouse trap with
an opening that will allow of their entrance,
but not their escape, the self-acting door clos
ing upon the prisoners till they are called
upon to suffer Inartyrdom for the benefit Of
the human race, by being thrust alive into
boiling cauldrons. Sometimes they cause SICK
ness, from having died previous to boiling, as
well as from having been kept too long after
boiling; but they do not often die OF them
selves, for they will easily support life for
days when taken from the water, and have
been known to live without sustenance for
months after being caught-Ns,cbmrypoH Her
