islanders and fishermen from neighbor
ing ports. The traps used here differ
somewhat in size and shape from those
employed on Eastern grounds. A light
frame of pine, from three to four feet in
length and from one to two feet in width
and depth, is covered by lsths or Other
light Stats, placed about half an inci
apart. A funnel-shaped mouth Of
pointed Stats or netted cord is made OF
one end large enough. for the ingress OF
n lobster, and just within, and immedi.
ately in front Of this mouth, the fisher
man hangs his bait, the head OF cod
or bluefish, or part Of the body OF some
other fish OF smaller value. The lobster
examines the bait and explores the
opening with an excess OF caution that
should, but does not, prevent his enter
ing. But he soon seems entirely sails
fled that all is right, when he turns and
backs in. He appears to realize at once
that he is caught, and endeavors to get
out but, strange as it may seem, al.
though he examines the opening again
and again, it never seems TO enter his
mind to turn and back out Us he came
in. Captivity also appears to rob him
Of appetite, for it is seldom that he will
touch the bait which led him in, and
which is now within his reach. CON-
fnement appears to deprive him Of any

will be taken by the same trap. Not
inireluently, however, they will so far
forget their anxiety to escape MS to fight
most Justify with their strong claws,
which are sometimes wrenchcd from
their bodies, but this does not cripple
them permanently, for it is not long be-
fore another claw grows just us good
as that lost, except that it is u little
smaller.
A lobster is supposed to retain his
shell until the latter part of his fifth
summer, when another shell forms with
in, cracking and gradually crowding of
the old covering. Until this change oc-
ours lobster is not considered suitable
food, and any one can judge by the
length of the fish whether he has moult-
ad or not the change never being made
before the animal Is nearly or quite ten
inches in length. After this, the shell
changes yearly. In accordance with
this fact, stringent law has been
pas sed for the protection OF the public,
forbidding any fishermen to sell or ex-
pose for sale any lobster less than ten
inches in length, exclusive of the claws.
THIS law is generally obeyed TO the let
ter by fishermen who sell their catches
in tho shell, but great many Holsters
below the lawful size are carried away
by smacks in their saltwater wells,
where they can be kept alive for long
time, and sold to canning establish
ments, whose goods are too much
broken up in canning for measurements
to he applied with much certainty.
Lobsters generally pass the winter in
deep water, coming in with the APP
proacll of warm weather, the larger, as
u rule, appearing first. Early in the sea-
son, the catch is mainly Of lnrge fish,
which are so sharply pursued that
toward the latter part Of July and later,
their numbers are diminished to such
an extent that there is great temptation
to the fishermen to retain those which
the law directs him to return to the
ocean.
Many fishes hold Holsters eggs in
high esteem, bnt the mother lobster will
defend them savagely with her powerful
claws, and for better protection attaches
them to her abdomen, as many as Il, 600
having been counted upon single fish.
When Matched, however, thousands OF
,lefenseless Holsters are devoured by
their enemies, and, if man also is to be
permitted to prey upon them before they
are 8 years old, We can hardly hope that
the supply will long remain as abundant
