HELPING CRABS.

The Manner in Which They Mutually
Assist in Times of Need.
Some land crabs Of the West Indies and
North America combine in large swarms in
order to travel to the sea and deposit
therein their spawn, and each such migra-
ton implies concert. cooperation and mu-
tual support. AS to the big molucca crab

Brighton Aquarium with the extent of
mutual assistance which these clumsy ami
mails are capable of bestowing upon a COM
rade in case of need. One Of them had
fallen upon its back in a corner of the tank.
and its heavy, saucepan-like carapace pre-
vented it from returning to its natural
position, the more so as there was in the
corner an iron bar which rendered the task
still more difficult. Its comrades came to
the rescue, and for one hours time L
watched how they endeavored to help their

pushed their friend from beneath, and after
strenuous efforts succeeded in lifting 1t
upright; but then the iron bar would pre-
vent them from achieving the Work OF
rescue, and the crab would again heavily
fall upon its back. After many attempts,
one of the helpers would go in the depth of
the tank and bring two other crabs. which
would begin with fresh forces the same
pushing and lifting Of their helpless COM
rade. We stayed in the Aquarium for more
than two hours, and. when leaving, we
again came to cast a glance upon the tank !;
the work of rescue still continued! Since

The Illustration, "Springing for standing
broad jump" shows an athlete while in the
act of taking off. just before getting in the
air he viii resemble the illustration, Leay-
ing the ground" Attention is called To the
angle of the body. 1t looks as though the
athlete would fall on his face, but his arms
and legs have given him considerable mo-
mentum, and the next important position
he assumes can be seen to good advantage
in the Illustration, "At the highest Ioint."
In this picture it is seen that the arms have
been thrown down again and have Outlived
their usefulness so far as regards carrying
the body higher. just before touching the
ground the arms will be brought forward, as
shown in the picture, The proper way to
land" Very few would suppose that at
this point the athlete had sufficient mo-
mentum to prevent falling back; but here
again the arms are brought in to geod ad-
vantage.
The best way to practice the standing
broad jump is first to equip ones self with
good pair OF shoes. For a gymnasium floor
these should have heels of solid rubber,
about one and half inches thick. The sole
may be under one-quarter of an inch thick.
Make line on the floor and then give three
jumps in succession. An athlete who can

be about feet inches from toe to heel his
next jump from heel to heel should be 10
feet inches, making in all Is feet inches
his last jump will be, from heel to heel, II
feet inches. The reason the first jump ap-
pears so small is that it's measured from
the toe at the take-off in place of the heel.
Having gained impetus on the first jump
and landing with his arms back, the athlete
springs right out for the next jump. He
will clear further on his second jump than
on the first on account Of the momentum
derived from the first, but the last jump
will be the best of all, simply on account of
his not having to gather himself TO make an
other jump. If five jumps are tried by the
same athlete he will find that the first will
be the same as the last three jumps If ten
are tried the eight intermediate jumrs will
be the same as the middle one in the three
jumps.
The best amateur record for three stand
ing broad jumps without dumb-bells Is 81
feet d inches. by NJ. w. Ford, made on a
board floor. In clearing this distance his
divisions are about as follows: First jump,
from toe to heel, 8 feet 3 inches; second
jump, from heel to heel. IL feet inches :;
third jump, from heel to heel. over Is feet.
When in condition to do "a feet for three
jumps Ford could not do over 10 feet or 8
inches for single jump. There is consd-
cradle science in getting good swing OF the
arms for three jumps, and the easier the
swing the less jolting will there be at each
successive landing. AS high as ten jumps
lave been tried at this style, the best ANA
teur record being 113 feet 81 inches, by NJ.

at his favorite game. Walter SOren, who
held the standing-high- jump record so long,
is a siX-footer. Pritchard has the best style
of any now prarticing the game, and IT is
doubtful if Walter Soren, who was the peer
so long, showed in his palmiest days any
finer points.
1t is generally conceded that the standing
broad jump is the simplest of all jumping
events. Ii is simply question of strength
of the leg muscles. All good jumpers pre-
fer hard ground for a landing place, but be-
ginners generally choose something soft to
land on, for they are SO awkward at
landing that they jar their heels or
knees Up to the revising of the rules,
year ago, the take-off for the standing broad
jump consisted of fine cord stretched fiat
on the ground between two nails.
The rules of the Amateur Athletic Union
permit the same take-Off for the standing
broad jump as used in the running broad
jump. This is wooden joist or inches
wide sunk flush with the ground, with a
ditch in front 6 inches wide and 3 inches
deep. Competitors may toe over the wooden
edge, and not only gain two or three inches
advantage in distance, but also solid bar
rler against which to push while sprnging.
This take-off is of much greater advantage
in a standing broad jump than in a running
broad jump. The best amateur record for

Originally intended as a protection to the
throat the necktle has now degeneratpd to
a mere ornamental item of dress, and to
trace its origin we must go back to the
stirring times OF the Stuarts, says the Pail
Mall G Zette. Down 10 the e1rly part of
the seventeenth century, the ruff, which had
grown to an enormous size, combined tine
offices of neckclOth as we'll as collar. It
was not until the close of the reign Of
Charles II that neckcloths, or cravats, were
first worn in England, and we're doubtless
gladly welcomed as change from the stiff
and uncomfortable ruff. They were usually
composed of rich Brussels or Flanders lace
tied in knot under the chin, and the ends
allowed to hang down square. Still later
they were worn much longer, the ends being
passed through the buttouholeS of the waist
coat The lace neckcloth was succeeded by
the small cambria Geneva bands, not unlike
those used by clergymen, and these were .
very generally worn by gentlemen during
the reign of William LII. The lace neck
cloth again became fashionable in Queen
Annes time, but was finally abandoned
about 1T35 This was followed by broad
silk ribbon, which fashion ordained to be
worn round the neck and tied in a large bow =
in the front. A few years later white cam
brio stocks that buckled behind we're intro
duced, and these were succeeded about 1883
by the muslin cravat, which was more COM
Portable to the wearer as well as graceful in
appearance. The muslin crayat was passed
| twice round the neck, then tied in capa-
"
fashion to bury the chin.
1t was about this period that stiff linen
collars first became generally worm. and the
ruttte disappeared as a part of ordinary
dress. We now come to the early part of
the present century, when design and style
III costume became still palmer. The cravat
now assumed a more modified form, and was
worn III various styles, always passed twice
round the huge collar and lied in a bow or
some iaucltul knot in the front, according to
the taste or the wearer. Some of the meth
DDS used to tie the cravat certainly had the
merit OF simplicity, as shown in those worn
in the early part of this century. Until
about 1920 cravats were made very wide in
the center, and tapered off toward the ends
Still later they We're worn narrow, often
crossed In the front, and secured by a
breastpn of large dimensions, a greater va
rlety of patterns, and materials also, being
introduced IN their manufacture. Thirty
years ago stocks and cravatS commenced to
disappear, and Scarfs made up into various
and they have gradually assumed smaller
proportions, until we arrive at the neat pro-
auctions of our own day. Now and again
one may occasionally see the Old-fashI0ned
stock worn by some conservative ola gentle
man that recalls past generation. At the
present time necktes of English manu-
facture command the best prices, and are
| sought after in France, America, and almost
| every country in the world, being looked
upon as the correct thing by those who

mostly manufactured in London aud tie

FORTUNES In NECKTTEI,
The Changes That HHe Been Noted Since the
Days Of 1890.

In the present sombre and unattracrive
costume worn by the male of to-day. in
which picturesqueness has been so com
pleteIy sacrificed TO utility, fashion has left
him but one small portion of his attire
where he may yet display little variety of
color and form, and that is in the shape of
his scarf or necktie. IT'S here a refined and
well-bred man will show his good taste in
some unobstrusive arrangement in silk or
satin. The abject follower of fashion of the
masher type delights to adorn his person
with something eccentric in this way. As
every man reveals more or less a certain
amount of character by the way he dresses,
1t often follows the lower and more vulgar
the taste the louder the necktie, which NAV
be instanced in the delight AIRY takes in
decking himself in tie of the brightest
vermilion or other brilliant color. How
ever daring in point of color a young man
may ee IN his neck adjournment, he generally
merges into the staid and more conventional
black as he gets TO maturer years.
