why crab. and lobster. Are Red.

The shell of the crab and lobster owes
its BLUSH gray color TO the superposition
of two pigments or coloring matters
which have been isolated-a red pigment
and blue one. AS long as these two
pigments exist simultaneously the crus
taceans remain gray. But the blue pig
ment is very fugitive, and sometimes
under the influence of disease It is de-
stroyed, and crabs are found with por-
tions Of their shell more or less reddish.
When the crustaceans are immersed in
boiling water the blue pigment is en-.
tirely destroyed, and the red pigment,
which is very stable, appears alone in all
its brilliancy.- Science en- Famille.
