The MANY CoIored Land Crab.

The land crab of the American trop-
les is a very curious and interesting ami
NAL. Two specimens are now to be
seen in Philadelphia. The one at the
Academy of Natural Sciences is of a
reddish purple color, because it drank
water stained with logwood on its north
ern voyage. The other, which is an at
traction at a Vine street cigar store, is a
bright golden yellow, shading off to
light green, as the result of banana
diet. This is a chief popularity of the
land crab-he changes his complexion
with his diet, and can display as many
costumes in the course of year as a
fashionable woman.
Land crabs stay on the upland and in
the mountains except during the breed
ing time, when they come down to the
shore. Tt is at this time that the natives
of Dominica in the West Indies and on
the several islands in the Caribbean
sea catch them in great numbers, and
placing them in pens feed them with
oatmeal for about two weeks, when
they get very fat and succulent. When
excited by hunger they will travel long
distances for food, and are said to eat
carrion and have been known to rob
graves.

Instructions That Bore Fruit.

President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, is a great stickler for discipline.
Some time ago, while on his way to
Harrisburg, the conductor of the train
bowed as he passed without asking to
see his ticket, On coming through the
train again Mr.. Roberts touched his arm
and said:
"Why did you not ask for my ticket?'
Rather abashed, the conductor replied
that he presumed he had his pass.
''Do you know who amp" next asked
Mr.. Roberts.
eyes, sir, replied the conductor; ssyou
are the president of the road,
+ - sGranted that am. It is your duty
to allow nobody to ride over this road
without showing ticket. Always bear
that in mind"
The conductor promised to do so in the
future and passed on. After the next
station had been passed he again came
through the train for tickets and, com
ing to Mr.. Roberts, stopped and de-
manded to see his ticket.
''That's right, my man, said the presi-
dent, putting his hand in his breast
pocket. Then he grew red in the face,
and as he felt in pocket after pocket his
face became redder. He had left his
pass at home. The conductor never
moved muscle of his face, but stood
with outstretched hand waiting for the
ticket. Mr.. Roberts was too proud to
back out, and finally asked in meek
voice, "How much is the fare to Harris
burg% On being informed he paid over
the money, which the conductor took
without smile, giving him rebate
check good for ten cents. President
Roberts continued his ride in silence

Enriched Despite Himself.

The merest accident compelled Mr.. /.
N. Locke, of Wayne county, Ind, tt
hold on to piece of real estate, and heis
now we'll off as consequence. In 1879 he
was in Chicago and bought lot for a
small sum. He put the deed in an envel-
ope and placed it in his pocket with other
papers. A few days afterward he lost
the envelope and all its contents. He
advertised for it, but really cared only
for the notes, thinking the lot of little
value.
John Ritchey, victim of softening of
the brain, was wandering aimlessly on
the street the day Locke lost his papers.
He found them and laid them away.
and even after his death no notice was
taken of the supposed worthless papers.
A short time ago John Ritchey's execu-
tor found the package and gave it to
Mr.. Locke, and through his attorneys
his claim has been established. Had
the deed remained concealed few days
longer the twenty years would have ex-
pired, and no claim would have been al
lowable. It is lot in the boulevard adj
dition, and the parties occupying it have
given Mr.. Locke SEC, 900 for quit claim.

DIAMETER OFATHUNDERBOLT.

loNiNAioaAiO 4AAoSoA
Did you ever see the diameter of a
lightning flash measured?" asked geo
logist. ''Well, here is the case which
once inclosed flash of lightning, fitting
it exactly SO that you can just see how
big it was. This is called 'fulgurited
OF, lightning hole, and the material it is
made of is glass. / will tell you how it
was manufactured, though it took only
the fraction of a second to turn it out.
When a bolt of lightning strikes bed of
sand it plunges downward into the sand
for a distance, less or greater, trans
forming simultaneously into glass the
silica in the material through which it
passes. Thus, by its great heat, it forms
at once glass tube of precisely it's own
size.
''Now and then such a tube, known as
a 'fulgurite' is found and dug up. Full
gurites have been followed into the sand
by excavation for nearly thirty feet.
They vary in interior diameter from the
size of a quill to three inches or more,
according to the bore of the flash. But
fulgurites are not alone produced in
sand, they are found also in the rocks.
though very naturally of slight depth,
and frequently existing merely as thin
CLASSY coating ON the surface. Such full
gurites occur in astonishing abundance,
on the summit of Little Ararat, in Ar
menia. The rock is soft and so porous
that blocks foot long can be obtained,
perforated in all directions by little
tubes, filled with bottle-green glass for
med from the fused rock.
There is small specimen in the Ma
tional Museum which has the appearance
OF having been bored by the teredo, the
holes made by the worms subsequently
filled with glass. am indebted to the
Washington Star for the foregoing ac-
counts. Imay add that Charles Darwin
mentions these fulguritcs in his book of
travels and Humboldt found some on
the high Nevada, de Zoluca, in Mexico.
Humboldt assembled this precipitious
peak at the risk of his life.

Large Salary For Remembering Names.

Large Salary For Remembering Names.
The faculty of remembering the names
of persons is not possessed by every one.
In fact very few people who come into
contact daily with thousands are able to
recall the names of any considerable
number of those whom they meet at long
intervals only. A writer says: Il
know a man in great establishment in
Chicago who gets $1,000 a year just for
remembering names. His business is to
speak to every one who comes in by
name and to introduce the customer to
the clerk of the department sought. If
he does not introduce the person to the
clerk by name, the clerk is expected to
find out the name and communicate it
quietly to the gentleman near the door,
who bids him or her good-by by name.
This always fatters people and they
come back again."

rears from u Descendant of ucroca

II was midnight and cold. A few
shivering newsboys close by Pie alley
hung round n chestnut vender's stand
like flies round the bung OF molasses
barrel. The few passers hurried along
with their coat collars turned up and
eyes straight ahead. Trade wasn't good.
Suddenly heartrending shrek broke
the stiffness, followed by piteous sob
bing. The chestnut man. wringing his
hands like a maniac, hung over his over
turned stand. Sparks and glowing Goals
streamed across the sidewalk. A couple
of boys shot out of sight around the
nearest corner. The sobs grew louder
and mingled with imprecations in an
unknown tongue. Like magic crowd
gathered. a policeman sauntered over
A herdic dashed up. Still the sobs burst
from the bearded face of the poor for
eigner. Some of the crowd laughed
The herdic man asked him why he
didn't chase the gamins and give them n
sound thrashing. He had never thought
of that, but at the word started after
his tormentors, still sobbing. II was
too late. He came back, righted his
capsized apparatus, scraped mp the
chestnuts and replaced them over the
little fire that remained, crying all the
while like II whipped schoolboy. The
crowd scattered, the herdic driver drove
on, the sobs of the chestnut man grew
less and less until the frosty air turned
them into n chatter.

Canada was being annexed to the repub-

was asked to pass a resolution expressing
