the tips of its claws. So covered, the
crab hides in crevices where sponge

when the prince of Wales made his

to a toast he received tremendous
ovation. He was unusually pale, and
the nervous tone in which he said:

trayed the intense emotion he was
undergoing. But as the gorgeous
banquet proceeded Great Britain's fu-

which he is distinguished, and mirth-

table. His royal highness also on this
occasion inauguratcd alcustom which

ct fact, it is not a fish, is not red, and
does not walk backward at all. Crabs
and Holsters are green or dark brown.
Their skeletons are outside of them,
and their meat is so delicate and like
| Jelly that, il their shell is broken in
any part. it oozes out like thick mo-
lasses. They are not killed as other
animals or fishes are killed. They are
put into boiling hot water and killed
that way. When taken out of the wa
ter they are red on the outside, but
their meat becomes very firm and it
is white.
The ancestors Of the crabs of the
present day are said to be the oldest
creatures in the world. particularly
the horseshoe crabs. They were
slightly modified trilobites, and the
specimens on exhibition here repre-
sent the most ancient family on earth.
They existed long before man was
created. thousands upon thousands of
years before the creatures from whom
some scientists have made bold to
say that mankind was evoluted. But
when they begin to talk of thousands
of centuries they are leaving the do
main of positive science, and are
trenching upon the domain of philos-
ophy and theology; and into those
domains we will not follow them.
To describe all of the specimens on
exhibition would be the work Of a
lifetime; and to even make mention
of all of them, by their scientific
names, would fill several columns
without giving any description of
them whatever. The ancient horse
shoe crabs were tremendous fellows,
almost as big as modern whales.
Those were the days of the titans of
the deep. The largest lobster found in
recent years weighed IS pounds. and
its skeleton has been preserved. 1t
is a very ugly looking beast, and
would have been able to clasp .
mans bodysin one of@its claws and
cpHsh it in two. The claws of the
average sized crab Of to-day are
sharp enough and strong enough to
bite of your fingers.
Along the Atlantic coast the bust
ness of catching crabs and Holsters
has increased during the past 25
years to such an extent that almost
all of the big ones have been taken
and eaten. But there are specimens
here from the Pacific coasts of Asia
which are of enormous size. There
is one preserved japanese crab which
has a spread Of IL feet with his
claws That fellow could have taken
two men, in the water, and killed
them at once. So long rs those fell
lows are in those waters, it is fair
to presume that the Japanese ladies
and gentlemen will not disport them
selves in the surf. A. hundreds Of thou
sands of our people do at the famous
soast resorts Of ibis coantRy.

the shell Of an oyster. Epicures re
gard these as great delicacies. The
men of knowledge who study these
and all other crabs say that the
"messmate" does not feed upon the
oyster, but simply makes its home in
the oysters shell. and eats a part OF
whatever the oyster finds to eat. Oy'
sters have been appropriately termed
by some good people as the ''scaven
gers Of the sea-" and on that &C
count they will not eat oysters. These
little smessmates- are similar scav.
engers.
Cows "chew the cud'' and are called
Eliminating animals. In one respec,
crabs are like unto them. They have
ten legs. eight pairs OF jaws, a heart
in the middle of the back, and teeth
in the stomach. With his jaws the
crab catches and kills his food, and di'
gests it while chewing it in the stom'
ach. Originally crabs had tails. but
they have learned to dispense with
caudal appendages by evolution,
which have required centurines.
In order to keep pace with the de
mand, thousands of men have fol-
many years made crab and lobster
catching regular business. Their
success has been so great that the
Atlantic coast has been dredged and
trapped almost to depletion. For the
past 12 years the fish commission has
been artificially Matching and plant
ing along the coast countless millions
Of little fellows; and majority OF
them are gobbled down by varieties
of fish having tastes as epicurean as
that of man. Besides, the little fel
lows are cannibal-like. and will kill
each other off. the stronger feeding
upon the weaker. 1t takes year OF
two for young crabs to attain suffi.
cient size and strength to defend
themselves or hide away from their
enemies. Hence the fish commission
is confronted with difficulties which
are disheartening.
The next time VIC indulge in soft
shell crabs on toast we will know
more about what we are eating: like.
wise about deviled crabs and lob.
