Propagatinr Lobstcrs Artiacia,ly.

The first experiments in artificial
propagation of Holsters were made sim
ply in glass jars with sea water that was
changed daily. Even under these primi-
tive conditions the newly Matched fry
thrived and grew to be of some size and
healthy. Any one who desires to rear
Holsters by hand can accomplish the pur-
pose most quickly by keeping the spawn
bearing females in suitable ponds or
tanks until the young come out. In
raising the animals on large scale,
however, it would be best to separate
the eggs from the lobster and spread
them upon trays, allowing the water to
percolate among them, as is done with
salmon eggs. By this method much
trouble would be avoided, as we'll as the
expense of feeding the adult hen lob
sters.
There is no reason apparent wherefore
the same success should not be obtained
with Holsters as has been achieved with
salmon, which have been made to swarm
once more by myriads in streams depop-
ulated by imprudent fishing. Already
the Holsters on the North Atlantic coast
are rapidly vanishing, and unless meas
ures are soon taken for supplying their
place by artificial propagation there will
be none left. Apparently, however, it
will be entirely practicable to turn out
upon the depleted grounds many mill
ions Of young Holsters yearly as soon as
proper plants for this object have been
established. A
One thing in favor of lobster raising,
as to cheapness, is that they prefer food
that is partially decomposed, and the
waste food of the towns, now thrown
away, might be most usefully employed
by the lobster hatcheries. Stale fish is
esteemed by Holsters an especial delicacy.

Devil Bird Of La soufrriere.

The bird called the 'sdevil bird of
La Souffriere" by both Labat and Du-
tertre, has webbed feet like duck or
goose and claws like bird of prey, a
sharp and curved bill, and large eyes,
which cannot bear the light Of day.
When surprised in the daytime at a dis
tance from its nest it will run or fly
against everything in its way. Father
Dutertre, in his description Of Guade-
loupe, where. the volcano Of La Souf-
friere is situated, says that the natives
call the bird by name which means
"devil,' and that they do SO on account
Of popular belief among them that
the bird nests in the very crater Of the
VOLCANOES at a place inaccessible to man,
among the melting lava and sulphurous
fumes. Father Dutertre finishes his
account Of the devil bird in these words:
"Here we have bird of wonderful and
surprising ingenuity, which fishes by the
light of volcano and matches its eggs
by the warmth of it's gaseous discharges. "

EerYant Lightning.

Quite strange freak of lightning was
witnessed at the home of Mr.. William
Henry Morton in Athens. During the
rainstorm that came up about noon a
fash of lightning struck the rod over the
house. melting it instantly. The cur
rent was not content with this, but leaped
to the tin gutter and melted it all around
the house, pouring the molten metal in
heavy streams to the ground below. The
lightning then flashed through one corn,
er Of the house, paid visit to the people
in the room below, ran out along an iron
pipe to tin basin on the back piazza and
melted it completely, and followed an
iron pipe to the well, fully fifty feet from
the house. The damage to the wood
work of the house was very slight, but
all of the metal with which it came in
contact was melted.-Atlanta Constitu-

Prairie Cattle Are Well.

The fifteenth annual convention of the
Northwest Texas Cattle Growers asso-
citation was held at Dallas recently. The
range cattle country all along the line of
the plain from Montana to the gulf was
represented, and the report from the
whole range country, with the exception
Of few drought stricken spots, was
that the range cattle have been partic-
nlarly well preserved during the past
season. Very little suffering has been
occasioned by storms, and the grazing
was good all through the winter. It is
predicted that if cold weather holds off
for the rest of the season range cattle all
along the line will be fatter and in bet
ter condition generally than usual. Cor

A Wonderful Man.

Williams Kingston, of Ditch-heat,
Somersetshire, England, was "the most
wonderful of all that wondrous krew."
Concerning him writer of The London
Chronicle says: Iput half a sheet of pa
per, with pen and ink, on the floor before
him. He threw off his shoes as he sat;
took the inkstand in the toes Of his left
foot (having been born without arms),
and held the pen in those of the right.
He then wrote three fine lines better
than most can with the fingers. He feeds
himself, and can bring both his meat or
his broth to his mouth by holding the
fork or spoon in his toes. He showed
me how he shaves.
He can dress and undress himself. He is
farmer by occupation; nilks his cows
with his toes, cuts his own hay and
binds up the bundles and carries it
about the field for his cattle. In sad
ding and bridling his horse he does it
with his teeth. He is 80 strong in his
teeth that he can lift ten pecks of beans
with them, and he can throw hammer
as far with his feet as most people can
with their hands.

Danger in paner Money.

Passing from hand to hand among all
classes of the people, it would be strange
indeed if money, and especially paper
money, did not in its transit become
from time to time the vehicle of in
fictitious disease. Even the crisp ''fiver'
Of the Bank of England no doubt has
often borne the germs Of fever in its
folds, and how much more then the
greasy, discolored and well thumbed e1
note, or the paper fraction of some
foreign currencies Higher values have
here distinct advantage. Less COM
mon, Less in keeping Of the overcrowded
poor, less handled and soiled, therefore
they may perhaps in many cases run
their circuit without having done much
mischief.
There are, indeed, preservative cir
cumstances which guard the sanitary
credit of all paper currency. One is the
very freedom of circulation and the ven
Glation this insures. Smoothness of sur
face is another, and third, which oper-
ates in minor degree, is found in the
fact that not children are chiefly con-
cerned in the business of exchange
These qualifications my suffice to justify,
at least by g negative verdict, the en-
ploymeht of paper money from sani-
tary standpoint.
Still certain risk remains, and care
full persons will do we'll to note this and
on occasion to disinfect even their bank
notes. The danger, such as it is. should
also, in our opinion, be allowed some
