HATCH!NG LOBSTERS.
Interesting Exhibition in The U. S.
Fish Commission Building.
Pusilistic Propensities Of the Young
Ones an Amusing Sight.

About this time a visit TO the United
States Fish Commission buildings at
Woods Holl, Mass, will prove beneficial
and instructive, principally because the
commission Is Matching lobster eggs.
Lobsters are very scarce Just now, but il
the millions of eggs now being hatched
fructify there will be no dearth of the
luscious crustacean next season. The
young "by-lobs" are not Matched in in
cubators, like chickens, but are put into
numerous glass jars through which salt
water is kept running continually by
large pumps After watching the dis
turbed eggs for short time the visitor
is surprised to see them pop open, one
after another, and minute Holsters, no
bigger than the smallest mosquitoes, shoot
up through the water, their little legs
kicking in the most comical fashion.
When first born the Holsters are coloresss,
but after short time, when they get to
be about half an inch long, they are
green and red and resemble their elder
brethren in many particulars. OF course,
when they are old enough they are al
lowed TO go out into the world like any
naturally born lobster. The lobster eggs
are but little larger than tobacco seeds and
about the same color.
Aside from the Matching operations, the
commission has n fine salt water aquarium
in which numerous species of fishes and
crustaceans of various ages disport them
selves among the rocks and natural ocean
beds, much TO the delight of old and
young. One compartment is devoted
principally to Holsters and one may be
Interested for hours in watching the com
bats between them. Young Holsters go at
the big fellows with claws extended, and
resembling boxing gloves, and generally
force them TO retreat. Or, two young ones
will square off and approach each other

cilnching, keep it up till one of them

OF the Aldermen and Councilmen in joint

Grosvenor estate was settled. And in
open session when the necessary resolu-

He thought that the city would derive no
benefit from the improvement.

CAUSE or THE DEFICIT.
Republican Extravaganza Dissipated the
Democratic Surplus.

In spite of all the prating of repub-
icans with reference to the deficit in
the revenue, the fact remains that it
began under the Mckinley bill. It is
equally indisputable that the Harri-
son administration and the Fifty-first
congress were anxious to get rid of the
surplus, because it had been used as an
argument for tariff reform. When
Tanner, as commissioner of pensions,
sarcastically remarked: God help the
SURPLUS" he was applauded. As a
travagance were resorted to in order
to dissipate the surplus. but the in
crease of pensions was very large
factor. The following table shows
how this increase went on, chiefly in
consequence of laws passed by the

THE REVIVAL AND IMPORTS.


Natural Result Of Returning CONNER
cial Prosperity.
The republican press continues to
groan daily over the increase of inn
ports. Catching at every straw which
they think may serve to keep them
and their Mckinley tariff issue above
water, our republican friends point
to the difference between the imports
of the last few months and those of
the CORRESPONDING months last year.
They refuse to compare the recent
figures with those of the corresponding
period in the fiscal year 1898. but per-
sist IN telling their readers that the
country is going to ruin because we
are importing more goods now than
were imported in the depths of the
panic
It is true that the imports during
the months which have elapsed since
the enactment of the new tariff have
been larger than the imports during
the corresponding months of last year.
1t is encouraging that this increase has
taken place. Our republican friends
should bear in mind the fact that at
the same time the country has been
experiencing a remarkable revival of
business activity and confidence. Has
the increase of imports paralyzed do
nestle industry? Let the great
and growing demand for consumption,
the extraordinary list of increase of
wages, the resumption of work
in hundreds of idle factories, the adj
vance of prices. and the many other
proofs of returning prosperity, answer
this question. 1t was inevitable that
recovery from panic depression should
be accompanied by an increase of inn
ports, and this increase would have
taken place even under rates like those
of the Mckinley act. Republicans
know, or ought to know, that the inn
ports of dutiable goods were consider
ably larger in the fiscal year 1893, when
the Mckinley duties were in force,
than they have been in the fiscal year
just ended, although raw sugar was
free from duty then and has been duti-
able since August 90 last. The follow
ing table shows the value of the i'm
ports during the eleven months ending
on May 81 for the last three years, the

ing been omitted:
