FOOL TRAIT OF CRABS.

u.t. Prisoners of Themselves b,
Crawling Into Live Oysters.
An oyster shucker found in the shell
Of the bivalve what he called a baby
crab.
,Thats the first one of that kind !
over found in Long Island oyster"
said the old shucker, 'and I've been
Cbucking along the sound for twenty
wears. But such crabs are frequently
found in Virginia oyster shells and are
considered great delicacies when you
cot enough of them. Last summer |
was shucking while on visit to Vir.
Cinia, and found enough baby crabs
IN oyster shells to fill an ordinary size
coffee pot. A young woman saw them
Ind clapped her hands at the sight.
She asked me what would take for
them. and | said So without thinking.
She took me up quicker than a mice,
and off she ran with them as if she had
drawn prize.
"Why do they go into oyster shells?"
81 don't know. / asked an old Vir-
pinia shucker that same question, and
he said it was because they were lone
some and went in for company. But
don't believe it. That would mean that
crabs think, and we know they don't.
Neither does a lobster. think the
biggest fool in water Is a lobster.
suppose you know how we catch lob
stqrs in the sound? Take a box. bore
holes in the side of 1t, and sink it. Put
out your buoy so you'll know where to
find the box. Leave the box sunk all
night and go out the next morning,
haul it up, and you've got box full OF
Holsters. And the funny thing abouI
It is that they go into the holes back
ward. Even people will put their
heads into holes where they are look.
Ing, but it takes lobster to back into
a hole, and they keep on doing it. Fish
are smart. You have to play with
them to bite. But Holsters, they back
right into your arms. Biggest fools
that live."-Philadelphia Inquirer.
