well, but he didn't know it all. 1t
Isn't a matter of chance. The men,
bers of the same brood are always
provided with this big claw or hand
on the same side They are all either
right-handed or left-handed. But Ar
istotle was right In way, for, apart
from the steady rule that all men,
bers of a brood are supplied with
hands on the same side. the large
claw occurs about as frequently on
one side of the species as it does on
the other. Thus in 2,433 Holsters that
were examined by Francis Hobart
Herrick, professor of biology in Abel
University, acting for the United
States Fish Commission, 1.164 had the
crushing claw on the right side and
1,266 had it on the left side. Only
three had similar claws on both sides.
In these three the claws were neith-
er crushing claws proper or cutting
claws. They were combinations Of
both. The normal crushing claw is
weapon that is not to be despised
Helpless as it looks when the lobster
is on land, in the water he can use
it like lightning, and it has been estl-
mated that some of the giants could
crush a mans arm with it.
These claws, as well as the legs and
other appendages, can be cast by the
lobster, in which respect he is like
the crab. 1t is not believed, however.
that he can 10 so at will, but that
the act is rather more due to a muscu-
lar spasm caused by fright or pain.
This casting of limbs is not important
in a commercial sense in the case of
crabs but in the case of the lobster it
is different, for no restaurant keeper
would wish to set clawless bird"
before his guests. Yet the habit of
casting a claw, and particularly the
valuable big crusher, is dlstressngly
common. Out of a hundred Holsters
taken in Narragansett Bay for the
United States Fish Commission, twen-
ty-five were without the big claw, and
many were without either claw. In
1777 Travis wrote that Holsters shed
their claws so freely on being fright
ened that they even cast them If it
Numbered after they were In the boat.
II am told" said he, that they will
do the same If big gun is fired, and
that when men-of-war meet lobster
boat a ocular threat is used that If
the master does not sell them good
Holsters they will salute him."
When the lobster matches from the
egg 1t is hardly third of an inch
long 1t rises to the surface at once,
and there leads free swimming life
Tor a few weeks. In this 1t is utterly
unlike the adult. which never swims
on the surface normally. but lives en-
tirely on the bottom.
After the larval stage is ended the
title lobster sinks to the bottom. Now
Il resembles the adult exactly, but it
h only about half An inch long.
When they are three or four inches
long they begin to leave the rock piles
and dig little caves for themselves
under stones, from which they can
sally forth when they see prey. and
into which they can retreat safely
when they sight foe.

All efforts to settle the four months
struggle between the Contractors

In Chicago have failed. Conference
committees failed; an Aldermanio

Harrison personally failed. Now 1t

The Mayor has appealed to the

The issues now are these: The
Contractors Union, backed by men
who make and supply building ma
terials, refuse to arbitrate until the
labor unions repudiate and throttle
the Building Trades Council, which
is a sort of a governing body and
clearinghouse Of all labor unions. 1t

THIS is HOW SHE CAME TO ME-.

This is how she came to me
With tremulous throbbing Of her throat
With lips that shook uncertainty
And breast that huttered like bird,
With eyes where love was all aioat
And voice the sweetest ever heard.
In all the world were only We,
And this is how she came to me.
This is how she went away
With still hands folded on her breast,
So like little child might pray.
With silent lips laid close and sweet
And smiling to me through her rest,
White lilies laid about her feet,
The promise Of further day,
And this is how she went away.

Not very long since an exceedingly

drunk. He promptly paid his 10 shil-

charged with a similar offense. As
she gave the same name and address I
concluded they were husband and wife.
So l called on them, and my visit was
repeated several times. They had a
very nice home, kept two servants and
had four children. noticed a bonny
