sand have already selected claims and
begun the erection of homes, the new ar

hundred buildings of a temporary nature
now dot the prairie. Stocks of lumber
and provisions are being crossed over,
and within twenty-four hours many
business houses will be in running order.
In the afternoon there arrived mixed

Iutely packed with settlers, there not

reservation. A special train has just ar

CAPTAIN scupoER's cAToA.


M Oyster Rake DeinGs Up 0so-oDaaes
With . 01eer Attachment.
While Captain Ed" Scuddsr, ono ef
the best-known oystermen Of Northport
l. l.. was dredging near that place one
day last week his rake brought mp
medium-sized sea-spider. It is not IN
unusual thing for oyster-dredgers to
catch these animals, and no record Of
Captain Scudder's capture would have
been made had It not been for the fact
that the sea-spider he caught WAS fitted
with = unique attachment in the shape
Of A oyster that covered his starbosrd
eye.
The sea-spider is Of the genius maia,
and abounds in the waters around New
York. His principal food II the oyster,
and he spends his life at the bottom Of
the sea searching for oyster-bedA In
shape he is something Hike the ordinary
house-spider. but his body 10 thicker
and larger, and his legs less numerous
The specimen caught BY Captain
6oudder was about two inches long. one
inch and . half wide. and one inch thick.
Originally it had possessed ten legs, or
tentacles-if they may be 20 called
eight Of which were armed with single
claw. The two legs next to the mouth
Of the animal are armed with double
claws, and are used to carry food to the
mouth. Ono Of these was missing. 1t
was probably pulled out in . fight, for
these animals are very pugnacious.
Just how the oyster attached itself to
the eye Of the sea-spider is moro or less
. matter of conjecture. but Captain
Scudder thinks that the animal, while
in search Of food, received the ''spat"
or spawn. Of an oyster In his starboard
optic, and has carried it ever since.
This spat is provided with mucilagen-
Gus substance that enables it to stick to
rock or any thing else it attaches to
with all the tenacity Of leach.
The shell Of the oyster shows to an
experienced eye that it is fully two
years old, and thus the unfortunate Sea-
spider has been carrying for all that
time . constantly growing burden. II
he had not been brought to tha surface
BY Captain Scudder's rake his fate
would have been . sad one. for in two
years more the oyster would have in
creased 80 considerable in size and
weight that he would have been to the
spider what the old man Of the sea came
near being to Sinbad the Sailor. After
awhile the spider would have found his
weight . serious obstacle to locomo-
tion, and finally the poor animal would
have been unable to move at sll and
would have starved to death.
So far as can ascertain only one
sea-spider with an oyster appendage
has been caught in the waters around
Northport and that ono had his port
eye obscured. Captain Scudder says
that his captive Is, without doubt, an
oyster pirate, but he knows Of no Law
by which he can be punished. Proba-
bly,. the captain says. il the spider wa
to be accused OF piracy he would reply
''Oh, that's all in my eyer In whicl
he would be unconsciously initiating

pie have heard. Y. Herald.
