Week ending July 3, 1895
The first part Of the week was mode
rately cool with partly cloudy weather
and occasional showers. These condi-
tions we're very favorable and the adj
vancement Of crops was very rapid. The
latter part Of the week was hot aud dry
but as there is still plenty OF water in
the acequias for irrigation in most local
tiles the dry weather was not injurious
to anything.
The greatest total rainfall for the
week was at Lower Ponasco, 10 Lincoln
county, where 1.91 inches fell This was
much heavier than wa reported from
any other station, the amount usually
being under half an inch for the week.
Aprico.s and early peaches are ripe ia
the southern part.
The greatest bulk Of the cherry crop
has been secured and marketed at profit
able figures. Later fruits are looking
very well and a good yield 10 expected.
Wheat and other small grams are be-
ing harvested 10 the southern part and
are ripening farther north. Corn has
made very rapid growth during the
week. Garden vegetables are plentiful

are in splendid condition and are improv.

BALLAST FOR SPIDER CRABS.
A Difficult Problem Solved In Time of
Flood at the New York Aquarium.


Flood at the New York Aquarium.
In one of the tanks at the New York
aquarium there are eight spider crabs.
The spider crab is the decorating crab
grown up. The decorating crab plants
upon its back little sprays and stream
ers of various marine plants, which it
ships off with it's pincher claws. 1t car
ries these first to its mouth, where it
seems to keep supply of waterproof
glue, and thence to its back. 1t is sup
posed to do this for protection from its
enemies, for, half buried i'll the mud
and with these things rising from its
back, it is practically invisible, 1t is
possible also that the crab uses the
sprigs for adornment, as it often selects
growths Of bright colors. In its larger
growth, after it has come to be called
spider crab, it ceases to decorate itself,
though sometimes the seeds of marine
plants settle on its back and grow there,
but it never loses the handy use of its
pincher claws
The largest of the spider crabs at the
From side to side its legs spread about
eight inches. The bottom of the spider
crabs tank is covered with gravel. The
tank was cleaned the other day and all
but about three inches of the water
drawn off. When the refilling of the
tank was begun, all the crabs gathered
around the intake. Crabs and fishes in
captivity usually do this, welcoming
the fresh incoming water as a man in
captivity might welcome an incoming
current of fresh air. The flow of water
through the intake pipes can be regulat-
ed at will Here it was permitted to
run in at its natural force, which was
about that of water flowing from hose.
The flow was broken somewhat by the
wire strainer over the opening of the
intake, placed there to keep little fishes
and crustaceans from getting into the
pipes, but it was too strong for the
spider crabs to face They began to set
tie themselves down into the gravel and
to pile gravel upon their backs, appar-
emily to weight themselve down SO
that they could Withstand it. On q
sandy or muddy bottom they could have
buried Or partly buried themselves.
Here the work was more difficult, but
they were equal to it.
They would work their legs down in
to the gravel and then lift them, dis
