Tammauy men 10 the annexed district Affect

against thed aminisiration OF Louis J. Heintx,
the new Commissioner OF the Department of
Street Improvements for the Twenty-third and
Twenty fourth Wards, who Walloped them SO

The disgruntied protestants charge that the
greater share OF the improvements being made
under the direction of the new Commissioner
are located in sections OF the district where
they are not yet needed-in sparsely settled
neignbor oods-Whils the sections, like Mel
rose. Morrisania, fremont and Fordham,
which are already built up and where improve
ments are greatly needed, are practically neg
lected.
Where work, such as paving, has been done
in these latter sections, they even unoharitably
hint that there Is always to be found some
property owned by relatives OF MIR. H.intz In
the immediate neighoorhood.
In this connection they point to TO the paving

duration ensued.
The result was shown this morning when
Pete Delacy's places, at s3 Park Row and 5

out the familiar blackboards with the records
OF horses weights, "jocks" and odds.

lnasmuch as they do not walk abroad
very much. but are addicted rather to
adopting home and keeping 1t, except
food, the water farmer who sows the pas
ture lands of the sea with q crop of
Holsters may reasonably hope in time to
reap the result of his labors.
There are no Holsters ON the Pacific
coast, and the efforts 80 far made to carry
them across the Continent for transplant
tation have failed, chiefly because the
creatures have died on the way.
There are many curious points about
crabs and Holsters. Every one of either
genius is provided with a big claw for
crushing and small claw adapted by it's
shape for cutting as SCISSORS do. With
these two claws they tear the food they
capture into fragments and feed them
selves literally from hand to mouth"
But there is every reason to suppose
that the claws are intended quite as much
for fighting as for eating purposes, mas
much as such powerful hands are not
needed for devouring the soft food they
prefer. Crabs particularly are fighting
animals; in fact. they will fight any
thing.
have seen crab, in conflict with a
lobster, catch tho latter over the fore part
of the head, where the shell is the hard.
est. and crush it in by one effort. And il
rather bears out my idea that the claws of
these creatures are particularly weapons
of war, that the moment one of them re-
ceives severe injury in O claw it drops of
by voluntary amputation, severinH its
connection with the body at the shoulder
by an act Of its own will. n seems TO me
probable that if TIE claw was necessary
for feeding nature would rather seek TO
cure an injury to it than let the animal
discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most con-
spciuously fighter In the hermit crab.
It's first idea of independent life is to eat
harmless whelk and occupy its shell, its
next notion is to give battle to every crab
of the same persuasion as itself that II
comes across. Altogether hermit crabs
are undoubtedly the most QUAR- elsome
creatures in existence.
