LIFE OF A LOBSTER.

 BANGOR, April l6.-So little is known about tho lobster and SD very erroneous aro tho popular idcas as to its food, mode of life, etc, that think n story of tho lif0 of lobster as it Is lived on tho coast of Maine, the grcasost lobster ground in tho United States, perhaps in tho world, should bo interesting as well as valuable to all lov- CTS of this toOthsome crustaccan. When the eggs arc cxtruded from the female, be- tween the months of April and September, they arc already fertilized by the male. They arc covered with a viscous sccrotion, which causes thcm to stick together, and also to the long, finc hair, or swimmorets, of the abdomen. The number of eggs varies from l ,000 to 20, 900, and after they arc a few days old the skin of tho egg changes and the young lobster is able to swim.
 They arc now a prey for many kinds of fishes and do not even hesitate to dcvour each other. But the carapace, or shell, soon begins to form, and after a very lit tlo timc the young crustacean finds his way to his natural homo nt tho bottom of some shelving rock. The shell Is formed in n very curious manner. It consists of n mucous emulation from the body of tho lobster itself and contains q largS propor- tion of calcarcOus or limy matter. This shell is so inclaStic that when the animal grows its covering becomes too small, and tho process of cxuviatiOn, or shedding tho shell, takes place, generally oncc Q year, until tho animal is full grown, after which it does not CXuviatC, 50 that wc sometimes find old lobStcrs whoSc shells arc covered all over with barnaclcs
 This proccSs of exchanging tho shell Is accomplished with grcat pain and difli- culty to the lobster, as tho incrcaScd limbs havc to bc drawn from the now too small shells of tho claws, legs, etc. When the exuviation begins, tho shell of tho body of tho animal splits down tho back to the tail, and tho scmiliquid flesh is withdrawn from the shell. Then tho lobster drags it.

Are You Married?


 Nature intended that all humau beings should mate as soon as they reached the age of maturity, but un- fortunately society, custom and sur roundings have wIllcd 1t otherwise. However, should nature have it's course, some communities are so small that it IS impossible to mate It's young people satisfactorily, and they are forced to pass down the river of life forgotten and alone.

The Owner Received Burns and
Injuries That May Prove
Fatal.
A POISONOUS GAS IeNITED.
The Flame From a Candle Touched
Off Mixture Prepared to Kill
Squirrels.

SAN JOSE, CAL, Dec. 27--News of a
thrilling accident occurring on the ranch
OF George H. Swasey, near Madrone, on
Monday, reached this city to-day. All the
outbuildings on the ranch were destroyed
by an explosion, and Swasey was probably
fatally burned. Some damage was done
to the ranch residence. but it was far
enough away from the explosion to escape
the general destruction OF the outbuild-
ings.
Swasey's ranch has become the home of
large army of squirrels, and he had re-
solved upon their determination. The
rancher purchased quantity of phospho-
rus and other substances calculated to i'm
pede the digestion of his nimble enemies,
and these he proceeded to mix into an in
viting though poisonous mess. The mix
ture was contained in a fve-gallon can,
and from it arose gas which gradually
filled the room of the outbuilding in which
Swasey was working. Finally it was ig-
nited by the fame of a kerosene lamp
which Swasey held and frightful explo-
sion followed.
The outbuildings and their contents
were wrecked and the debris sent flying
high into the air. Rancher Swas ey was
hurled some distance away, and he was
badly burned about the body and face. He
now lies entirely helpless, and although
suffering but little pain, it is feared that
he cannot recover

thence by the Southern Pacific.
Thirty more cars have already left the

at Chicago, and will arrive here inside OF
thirty days. The locomotives, built by
Baldwin works, are now complete, and

A SACRAMENTO FATALITY,
Miss Katie Mcnamara Burned
to Death in Sight Of
Her Father.
Turpentine Applied Over Her Lungs
to Check a Cold Ignites From
Candle Flame.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Dec. 27.-Miss
Katie Mcnamara, the 49, ear-old daughter
of John Mcnamara, who is employed in
the railroad shops, met with horrible
death late last night. She had been
suffering from severe cold, and when
preparing to retire for the night had sat
urated cloth with turpentine and placed
1t upon her chest. Then taking a lighted
candle in her hand she went into the
kitchen to ascertain if the doors were
looked.
On opening the door the draught
blew the flame OF the candle against
her and the turpentine became ignited.
The girl shrieked in agony and her
father ran to her assistance. He endeav-
ored to wrap a blanket around her to
smother the flames, but the girl, crazed by
pain, struggled violently and fought him
off. When he did succeed 1t was too late,
and although everything that medical aid
could devise was done to relieve her suffer
ings Miss Mcnamara died six hours later
in terrible agony.

BEDDING IEcEKDlARISM
Frebugs Cause the Destruction of the
only Bakery in the
7oW1

REDDING, CAL, Dec. 27.-Redding IS
only bakery went up in smoke at IL 80
o'clock this morning. Incendiaries had
fired the one-story frame building on the
corner of Market and Tehama streets.
owned and occupied by Supervisor 0.
Gryttner as bakery and saloon.
Within a half-hour the entire structure
was IN ruins. By hard work the flames
were kept from adjoining buildings. but
had the least wind been blowing at the
time the whole block and ad Joining prop
erty would have been destroyed
There was no one in the bakery at the
time, the bakers having completed their
labors and gone home. The loss is about
$4,000, with an insurance of about half that
amount.
The fire was undoubtedly the work of an
incendiary. Almost simultaneously with
the alarm two men were seen to run away
from the burning house and disappear
down an alley in the rear of the Temple
Hotel. Yesterday a man under the in
fluence of liquor applied to Mr.. Gryttner,
the proprietor, for loan of some money
and q drink.
On being refused the fellow remarked
that he would play even. Whether the
fire was his work or not it is not known,
but officers are looking for the man.
The burned building will be replaced by
a two-story brick structure.
