The decision of the trustees of the
Catholic university at Washington to
open the doors of that institution to wo-
men is am impressive sign of the times.
While degrees are not to be conferred
on women at present, all feminine appli-
Giants for instruction will be admitted
to equal privileges with men, and it
would not be surprising if, before the
women students who enter this fall are
ready to graduate, the university au-
thorities will be inclined to reward them
with a degree for their work.

Owing to the occasional damage done
ITO the fishermen's nets by what appear
ed to be fragments of masonry in the
sea off the italian peninsula. of Istria,
the city authorities of Robingo sent
down a diver recently to investigate.
At a depth Of ninety feet he found him
self in a submerged city, with streets
and squares laid out the doors and
windows Of the ha1f-ruined houses being
almost hidden by masses of seaweed.
Archaeologists identify this lost city
with the island and city of Cissa, de-
scribed by Pliny, and of which no trace
had been found since the days of the
Caesars.

Gals of the various States: On behalf
of the Department of Agriculture, as
well as of the Central Committee of the
National Road Conference, I beg to in
wife your cooperation in securing a
proper representation of your State at
the Atlanta Road Parliament in Octo-
Der. You are especially desired to COM
municate with the State and local road
improvement associations in your State

No wonder it is hard to kill insect
pests. Analysis of a substance mixed
and sold in New York as pure paris
green showed that it contained not a.
trace Of either arsenic or copper. The
mixture was composed largely of clay
or chalk, colored by Prussian blue and
chrome yellow, and as worthless to the
farmer for spraying purposes as so
much sand While the high grade paris
green frequently costs 20 cents a pound,
the material composing the fraudulent
substitute would hardly cost one cent a
pound.

MIR. c. L. Bonney, president Of the
West and South Town Railroad com
pany Of Chicago, and vice president of
the Chicago General Railroad company
has the distinction of being the first to
propose an ordinance requiring the
companies to seat each person carried,
and empowering the police department
to enforce this remarkable provision.
While in Europe recently Mr.. Bonney
made a careful study of the street rail-
ways of the principal cities, and he
learned that one London company last
year seated each of it's 100000
patrons, and that not one of the 3d.
100000 persons carried in London was
obliged to stand. Similar conditions
prevail in Berlin; In fact there is not
a capital in Europe where the police
tolerate overerowded cars, and Mr..
Bonney sees no reason for forcing Chi
cago people to cling to overhead straps.

Charges Against the Dog.

Old maids and sportsmen attached to
dogs must be careful lest they harbor
and lavish affection upon an animal
that is nothing more or less than an
arsenal of infectious disease. No ami
NAL IN existence, not even careless
man, has done more to spread, far and
wide, infectious disease among farm
stock than the dog. But more seri-

fore the Paris Academy of Science.
When practicing as n veterinary sur
geon, previous to taking his degree Of
medicine, DIR. Megnin frequently had
dog patients under his care, suffering
from infection of consumptive tuber-
culosis. He holds that dogs are not
only peculiarly sensitive to such affec-
ton, but readily convey it to the hu-
man companion. DR.. Megnin traces
rabies (hydrophobia, etc. to filthy
feeding, There are many facts In favor
of that theory, and against the heat
now so industriously propagated by
panic-imposed muzzling orders, as, for
instance, the terrible plague of hydro
phobia that ragged in Greenland and
Bafiinland few years ago. Eyf lently
the intelligent, affectionate creature
we are universally so fond of is not all

THE DECORATING CRAB
Disguises Assumed by the Sec
Spider for Prote ction.
Scraps OF Marine Plants Set Upon Its Pacs
to Conceal Its Observation-Disclosures
Ways of Guest at Castle
Garden Aquarium.

The sea spider, or decorating crab,
has something of the appearance of Il
spider, but it is not repulsive as the
spider is. 1t Is common in many To-
calities. The particular decorating crab
here pictured is in the city's aquarium
at Castle Garden, says the New York
Sun. This crab is about seven-eighths
of an inch in size, so that the picture
shows 1t at pretty nearly life size. The
decorating crab attains size Of five
inches or more, but usually after reach
ing two inches 1t ceases to decorate IT.
self 1t lives on other small crustacea
and small fish.
The decorating crab takes its name
from its habit of sticking upon It's back
scraps of marine plants, and SO on,
which it places with deliberate care. 1t
is not unusual to find decorating crabs
with little sea anemones on their backs.
Sometimes the crab pulls them off from
their abiding place on rocks or else
where and puts them on its back itself
and sometimes little anemones land
upon the back Of a decorating crab in
the natural order of things, just as
they might upon spile or stone, and
stay there. So placed, they are moved
about and get bigger range of feed
ing than they would If fixed in one
place, and they are apparently satisfied;
If they were not they could easily let
go and get off. In captivity, however,
the anemones are likely to leave the
crab; they may be disturbed or they
may be brushed off by contact with
planlls in the tank as the crab moves
about. Scraps of seaweed and sprigs
and little branches of various marine
plants form the staple of the decorat-
ing crabs decorations, and with these
1t continues to adorn itself in captivity
as in freedom.
In nature the decorating crab puts
these things upon it's back to protect
itself from its enemies. Resting in the
mud, and partly covered by 1t, and
with these things rising from its back
like natural growth from the bottom,
1t is practically invisible. But In cap
tivity it appears to select these things

LIGHTS SEEN BEYOND RANGE.
Abnormal Case of Refraction Re-
ported to the Hydrographia Office.

Washington, April 27.-Capt. A. E.
Leganger of the British steamship Beres-
ford has reported to the photographic
office remarkable case of refraction ap-
parent in the English channel during
his last voyage from Mobile to Bremen.
On March 10 he wrote: "The light of
Overs lightship was seen at 7:50 p. m,
ships time, when St. GATHERINGS light,
Isle of Wight, bore northeast by north
half north magnetic, distance five miles.
Thus the Overs was seen twenty-seven
miles. The British admiralty light list
gives the Overs light an elevation above
sea level, range from an elevation of fif-
teen feet, eleven miles. Our elevation
was twenty-three feet above the sea
level. The light remained in sight all
the time, and dipped at II dist. The
sky was cloudless with nearly a full
moon. Other lights were also seen sew
eral miles outside their range. This is
something very unusual for this part of
the world and 1t is the first time it has
come under my notice. Here one must
most times steer very close in order to
sight anything"

Stuck to His Fad,

The Newark On. J.) Call tells good
story of clergyman in that vicinity
noted for his extreme piety, simplicity
and learning. He is somewhat of hypo-
chondriac and every once in awhile in
dulges In some hygienic fad. His latest
is the wearing of silk underwear. lie
learned that the wearing of silk under
wear was highly beneficial to the
health. Some Of the clergyman's
friends rallied him on indulging in such
an expensive luxury. He took the
Joking seriously and said that he had
considered that when he bought the
fine garments, and in order to do pen
ance for his hygienic luxury he had de-
cided to wear no socks. He showed
that his feet had no other covering
than his shoes. His friends became
alarmed for him at this form of peni-
tence and tried to convince him that he
ran greater risk of becoming sick by
going about In cold weather without
socks than could be counteracted by
the silk garments, but the Clergyman
refused to be convinced.

A UNIQUE imposition was practiced
The other day upon the citizens of OF
terville, Mo, by a sharper, who repre-
sented himself to be physician and a
member of the Sedalia board of health.
The alleged doctor said that smallpox
had become epidemic in Sedalia, and
that he had been directed to visit all
the towns In the county and vaccinate
the people. He was well supplied with
vaccine points, and he vaccinated a
large number OF persons at a dollar
each. After filling his pockets with
silver he took an eastbound train. The
otterville folks, after learning that
there was not case Of smallpox in
Scdalia and that the doctor was fraud,
were naturally highly indignant.

A Desperate Gang of rramps.

HUNTINGDON, Pa, April pa gang of
about thirty desperate tramps, many of
whom were armed, boarded westbound
freight train on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, at point near Ryde station. When
the trainmen tried to put them off the
tramps resisted, firing number of shots
from their revolvers, none Of which took
effect. When the train reached here the
police, aided by largo posse of citizens,
made an attack on the desperadoes, and
after fierce fight, succeeded in capturing
five of the ringleaders, who were put in
jail The others escaped to the woods.
Some members Of the gang are suspected
of having taken part in the $4,000 bur-
glary at Mifflintown.

and to place them upon It's back with a
view of ornamentation. The crab
commonly stands upright on its rear
feet, and 1t decorates itself mainly
about its head. Often, however, these
crabs have practically all over their
backs more or less short fibres Of about
their own color, which is nearly black
The taller things that they place about
their heads are sometimes broken off
or rubbed off as they go about, and
then they put up fresh ones.
The decorating crabs legs are equal
In length and size. Its claws have
pincers like the ordinary crabs, but
smaller. The decorating crab uses It's
pincer claws to hold its food and con-
vey it to it's mouth, and to cut off and
trim little branches and whatever else
it may choose to decorate itself with
Each of its legs terminates in a single
sharp, slightly curved claw. 1t may
use leg with its single claw to pick up
food which, however, 1t passes along to
be taken by pincer claw. The crab
will hold little branch of a marine
plant with one claw and with the other
snip off or pull off tiny sprays that 1t
doesn't want to use. When 1t has
trimmed branch to it's satisfaction 1t
carries the butt to its mouth for the
glue or cement, and then 1t raises the
branch to. its back and sets the butt
there, firmly holding it there until ap-
parently the cement has hardened.
When the branch is well In place 1t
will break off before 1t will pull out;
the cement appears to be insoluble In
water. Sometimes the crab does not
seem to be satisfied with the location
first chosen, and then 1t tries again.
Sometimes, apparently, 1t doesn't get
enough glue on, and then 1t carries the
branch back to It's mouth for more.
What might be taken for little
broom splint sticking up from the head
OF the crab In the picture is very
slender brown fibre of some sea grass,
in color not unlike hav. This fibre the
crab set in place since 1t has been
In the aquarium. 1t Is very deli
cate, but, delicate as 1t is, the
crab has set 1t firmly and secure
ly. The little curving spray to the left
of the tall broom-splint-like fibre is
made up OF number of still finer
fbres, set each separately and all with
equal firmness and security. The more
substantial little branch to the right of
the base OF the tall fibre, looking some
thing like one OF the branching horns
of deer, is little spray of solieria,
which is branching marine plant of a
dark red color
The crab walks up to such plant as
the solieria, chooses a branch, and
breaks it off with its pincers. 1t does
not always keep the first branch that
it breaks off. 1t may discard It by SIM
ply letting go Of it, or 1t may throw It
away with one of its claws, as a person
might throw anything away with one
of his hands. Then it breaks off an
other branch. Often 1t takes pieces Of
ulva, or sea lettuce, which is Of dark
green, and places them upon Its back,
