a party of persons comprising Samuel

Whites, Samuel Whites, Jr., Levina
Buckley, Willie Buckley, Frederick
Buckley, Willie Turner, John Buck
ley, Edwin Whites and George
Hammer hired boat and went

fled. The boat in which the
party embarked was a common, thir-
teen-foot fiat-bottomed one and the
seating capacity was eight, and too
small to accommodate so many people.
The party was finally observed trying
to work its way toward shore just north
of the pumping station. This was diff
cult work, as the water was rough, the
wind strong and the rowers inexperi-
enced. When the boat load of pleasure
seekers was within twenty feet of the
shore one of the children rocked the
boat. The men cautioned the child to
remain quiet. Suddenly, without mo-
ments warning, the boat capsized. Mr..
Hammer was the only one in the party
who could swim. He grasped Mr.. Ed
win Whites by the waist and brought
him to shore. John Buckley and Willie
Whites succeeded in reaching shore in
an exhausted condition. The rest were
drowned.

LoBSTERS AND CRABS.
How They Change Their Clothes DuriI
the .. Momltingr season.

How They Change Their Clothes During
the " Moulting" Season.
Holsters and crabs are articulates, or
jointed animals, in the first place, the
popularity of this division of the ami
NAL world being that the individual is
composed of a series of rings or joints
arranged one behind another. But ar
ticulates may again be divided into
worms, crustacea and insects, and OF
these subdivisions the lobster and the
crab occupy a place among the crus-
tacea.
As it is popularity of the lobster to
be entirely surrounded by an exterior
of hard she'll. the necessity of moving
out into another house naturally comes
up at once when its body begins to grow
too large for the old one. When the
''moulting'' season approaches, the lob
ster first begins to grow more watery in
his composition. At the same time the
inner lobster shrinks away from the
shell, and a skin forms over il. while a
hairy growth springing up on this skin
pushes it clear of the surrounding
walls. The system of the lobster like
wise retains the salt IF lime, which de-
prives the claw shells of their hardness
and leaves them of leathery consist
ency. Then the she'll breaks apart in
the middle line along the upper edge of
the back, and, after being split up the
back completely in this Way, the seelud-
ed lobster energies gradually into the
outer world, having become so soft and
spongy as to easily slide out of his close
quarters.
The predatory crabs OF jamaica are
among the most trying pests the plant
ers have to contend with. for, not con-
tent with their sea food, they organize
expeditions and ascend at night in per-
feet armies to the mountain and farm
lands, where they ravage the crops and
make life generally miserable for the
agriculturists. The gigantic hermit
crab of Japan in one instance is known
to have measured twenty-five feet In
length of leg. Another species of crab
is the birgos, or hermit cocoanut crab.
This animal is esteemed a great detl-
cacy. 1t is about three feet long. To
obtain food it comes up into cocoanut
groves at night and there waits till
nut drops. Then it rushes for the nu
