BALLAST FOR SPIDER CRABS.
a Difficult Problem Solved IN Time O
Flood ut the New York Aquarium.

a Difficult Problem Solved IN Time OF
Flood Mt tho New York Aquarium.
In one of tho tanks ut the New York
aquarium there are eight spider crabs.
Tho spider crab is the decorating crab
grown up The decorating crab plants
upon its back little sprays and streem-
ers of various marine plants, which it
ships off with its 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 in tho mud
and with these things rising from its
back, it is practically invisible. It is
possible also that the crab uses the
sprigs for adornment, as 1t often selects
growths of bright colorsL In it's 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 ut the
aquar ium is about inches in length.
From side to side its legs spread about
eight inches. The bottom of tho spider
crabs tank is covered with gravel. The
tank was cleaned the other day and oil
but about three inches of the water
drawn off. When the reflling Of the
tank was begun. all the crabs gathered
captivity usually do this, welcoming
the fresh incoming water as n man in
captivity might welcome an incoming
current of fresh air. The flow of water
through the intake pipes can be regulnt-
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 srainer 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, nppar-
emily to weight themselves down so
that they could withstand il. On a
sandy GU muddy bottom they could have
buried or partly buried themselves.
Hero 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
placing stones in that manner, and with
their pincher claws they would pick up
stones Sometimes a crab would pick up
two gravel stones mt once, one in each
claw, and place them both m it's back
1t might tackle stone 50 big as to re-
quire both claws in the handling of it
and raise that and put it on its back.
Some of the stones would roll off down
by the crabs legs, but they were not
lost there, for they helped to build up
around. and the crab would 60 ahead
and put up others ON it's back
When the tank was full and the In
flow cut off, the crabs went walking
about again as usual Now York Sun.

The Spent Cannon BALL

y General Sherman's "reminiscences Of
wartime arc very entertaining. One of
the most magnificent specimens of man
hood ever saw, said he, was soldier
who WIS constantly laughing at the poor
fellows who became fatigued by long
marches or who sank under seemingly
triding wounds. His courage, health
and strength seemed invincible. One
day heavy projectile from the enemy s
cannon-what we call spent ball
came rolling along The temptation to
put out ones foot to stop such a ball
was irresistible. The soldier I have men
toned yielded toit- With merry smile
he put out his foot, and in an instant it
was cut of, and he sank to the ground
manned, shattered cripple for life,
weeping like Il child at his awful mis-
fortune
