HARD TINE FOR L0BSTERS.
When Shedding Their Shells They
Are a Prey to Their Enemies.
0ewiston JournalO

Lewiston JournaL)
1t is probably news to the majority
of people that the red or rock Goldfish
is a bitter enemy of the lobster that
has just crawIed out of his shell and is
soft and unable 20 protect himself. Dur
ing shedding time these Holsters crawl
up under projecting rocks where the
seaweed and kelp are thick and where
they find protected places in which to
go through the process of slipping out
of their old shells and taking on a new
coat of mail, so to speak. For some
days after shedding the Holsters are
weak and unable to cope with those
fish that wage war upon them. This
fact the Goldfish seem intuitively to
know, and they viii swarm around
those retreats in great numbers and
wait for the shedders to crawl out.
An old lobster fisherman said this
morning that many times he had
stopped mis- dory over large number of
these red Goldfish and watched their
operations. He had even dropped his
line down and dangled tempting bait
within a few feet Of them. Unless it
happened 20 fall directly in front of
their noses. however. they would sell
dom take it, as they were after lobster
meat When the thin-sheiled Holsters
would crawl out from beneath the pro
jecting seaweed, the Goldfish would dart
at them and strike them fierce blows
with their tails, disa bling them tom-
pleteiy. They would then fall to and
devour the helpless Crustaceans. This
performance the lobster fisherman said
he had witnessed many times. The
shedding season is now practically over,
and the shells of the Holsters are be-
coming firm and hard, and they are
fully able to take care of themselves.

BRAIN FEVER AND SWO ONS.
Favorites With the NoVelists, But
Seldom Heard Of Nowadays.
CNew Orleans Times-Democrat)


New Orleans Times Democracy
NOW that readers have become so
confoundedly exacting in matters Of
technical detail" said a New Orleans
physician who confesses to a weakness
for fiction, "our modern novel writers
are deprived of a good deal of material
that was used with great effect by their
predecessors. This is particularly true
of a little catalogue of diseases that
figure conspicuOusly in what we are
accustomed to refer to as standard
fiction'-meaninS the fiction that was
admired by our fathers and grandfath-
erS, and that now comes in sets espec-
tally suitable for Christmas presents.
AT the head of the list was a mys-
teTiOus malady known as brain fever
Brain fever was a great favOrite with
the early nOVelists and has kept many
a plot from getting into a tight snarI.
1t was supposed to result from any Sc
we're mental strain, and might be
brought on by terror, JOY, remorse,
Overwork, suspense, rage or grief. So
you see how handy it was. 1t could
strike down the villain, temporarily
disable the heroine OF excite ones SYM
pathy for the poor but viTtuOus hero.
THE oId-time standard novels viii
average about three cases of brain
fever to the volume. The author never
went into any details, but generally
announced the malady as a telling
climax to a chapterr-for example; He
was too late; Grace was already toss
ing in the delirium of brain fever or,
Next morning the scOundrel awoke
raving; he had brain fever The dis
ease is so well established in fiction
that many people still believe that it
occurs in real life, which, by the way,
is a fine tribute to genius.
Another valuable property effect OF
the old-time novelist was the swoon

through the famous TOmances OF fifty

Ously expressed in the models filed with
the patent office. Though the rule Is
not without exceptions, the greatest in
ventiOns were first protected by models
of such crudity as to be scarcely recOg-
MIA le as foreTunners of the finished
article of today.
Prototype of the Telephone.
Take the telephone, for instance. In
the patent office are two cones of wood
with membraneous ends and a confus-
ing tangle of metal and wire. Each
of the cones could be hidden in ones
hand. Yet they are the beginning of
an idea that has been perfected to the
elaborate instrument of today, out Of
which millions have been made, and by
the use of which continents are
bridged.
No one at first glance would asso-
ciate these insignificant bits of wood
and metal with the telephone of to-
day. AS a matter of fact, the inventor
himself recently did not. One day
some photographs of the original teIe-
phone instrument were shown to Alex
ander Graham Bell, the inventor of the
telephone, and he was asked some
questions concerning the instrument.
Il don't know what this is said Mr..
Fell. 81 have never seen the instru-
ments here represented"
It was explained that the pictures
v
models of his first telephone, the crude
idea on which he had built his fame
and fortune. Aided by this explana-
ton, Mr.. Bell recalled the principles of
his first model But association with
the perfected instrument of today had
so blurred recollection of the crude
model by which he first protected his
/ invention that the memory had for the
moment been obliterated. Mr. Bell
manifested the greatest interest in the
models and said he would take the first
opportunity to visit the patent Office
and renew acquaintance with the old
creatures of his brain.
Though small and Insignificant, these
two crude models of the telephone were
sufficient 20 secure the patents on the
principles, which, as set forth in the
patent granted Mr.. Bell March Z, 1876,
were: 1.-THE method of, and apparatus
for transmitting vocal and other
sounds GEOGRAPHICALLY, by causing cleo
tricaI fluctuations. similar in form to
the vibrations of the air accompanying
the vocal and other sounds" From the
illustrations the receiver and transmit
ter are readily recognized.
Early Art of Electrical Lighting.
OF scarcely less commercial i'm
portance are the arc and incandeScent
lights. The arc light has undergone
little change in general form since it
was patented by COlner and Baker on
May IS, 1858. There have been wonder
full changes in it's mechanism, but the
h0ur-glass form of the first model is
still preserved.
With the incandescent light it is diff
fersnt. There is not the slightest re-
semblance between the first model and
the bulb light of today. It's inventors
had 2n idea that the light would be
valuable as d signal light. So they
patented it as such. The nature of
our invention" they said, consists in
the combina ton of q platinum coil or
it's effective equivalent, with a trans
parent signal lantern, said combination
being effected by arranging the coil
