have seen a crab, in conflict with a lob
stcr, catch the latter over the fore part
Of the head, where the shell Is hardest,
and crush it in by one effort And It
rather bears out my idea that the claws
of these creatures are particularly weap-
ons of war; that the moment one Of
them receives severe injury in claw 1t
drops it off by voluntary amputation,
severing its connection with the body at
the shoulder by an act of its own viii.
1t seems to me probable that if the claw

let the animal discard it altogether.
Tho species OF crab which is most CON
spicuously fighter is the hermit crab.
Its first idea of independent life is to eat
a harmless whelk and occupy its SHELF
its next notion is to give battle to every
crab of the same persuasion as itself that
it comes across. Altogether hermit crabs
are undoubtedly the most quarrelsome
creatures in existence, Interview IN

Didn't Call.
New England Farmer. !

Hon. Jerry Simpson has come to
New England for the alleged pur-
pose Of instituting the Farmers
Alliance here. 1t would naturally
be expected that if he was at work
for the real good Of the farmers, he
would call upon the agricultural
press among the first of his acts,
but though he was i'll Boston sew
eral days, nothing has been seen or
heard of him at the Office of the
New England Farmer or Grange
homes. He does not identify him
self with any one prominent in ag-
ricultural work.

AS an incident of the woman's suffrage
movement, it is impossible to pass over
tho election of Lady Sandhurst, Miss
Jano Golden and Miss Cons as members
Of the London county council. As hos
tile suits are now pending for heavy pen
alties against the ladies to test their
right TO sit and vote, it would be unbe-
coming here to do more than wish them
success in their brave fight. Their pres
ence at the council board, their useful
work on its committees, has already so
justified their election that even if the
law be interpreted hostilely against
them there is little doubt that public
opinion would compel early Legislative
action in favor of the right they claim.

There are two universities, one at
Buenos Ayres and one at Cordoba, which
together counted 993 students in 1889,
and delivered PA diplomas, including 81
doctors of law, IS doctors of medicine,
and II civil engineers In the whole
republic there are sixteen national col
leges, with teaching corps of 464 pro-
fessors and an attendance In 1899 of
1863 pupils. In the capital and the
provinces there are thirty-five normal
schools, with 1904 pupils of both sexes,
who become professors and teachers,
chiefly for the primary schools.
In Buenos Ayres in 1889 there were
2s5 primary schools, directed by 1871

A Complete Vlndiction.
Portland Express

The report of the Legislative committee
IN public buildings, which has had under
consideration the question of the compen-
salion of the State House Commission is
IN direct line with the editorial In the Ex-
press some time since upon that subject
snd is a complete vindication of the
Governor. 1t was entirely legal and pro-
pcr that the executive should receive COM
pensation for the extra labor imposed up
IN him by She State in connection with
the alterations upon the capitol.
The fathfulness of the Governor in the
discharge of his additional duties has
never been questioned. He did not per-
form his work in merely perfunctory
manner, but gave to it all that anxious
attention which was the result OF his
earnest desire that the work should be
well done and credit alike to the State
and the commission, and satisfactory to
the people.
