BATTLE AT THE AQUARIUM.
MIR. Grab Was Game, But, Like Fitx-
simmons, Went Out of His Glass.


There we're placed recently in the
lobster and crab tank at the Aquar-
ium eleven lobster. a lively lot of
medium and small sizes, that have
proved a strong attraction. The lob
ster is an interesting creature any
way, and likely to be especially so to
anybody not familiar with them as
they appear in nature; and besides
lobste"s, and crabs, too, for that mat
ter, are inclined to be scrappy as well
as lively, and the visitors like that.
Sometimes two Holsters, meeting, put
up their big claws to each other like
boxing gloves; and sometimes crab
and lobster meet and have a little
set-to.
Here, for Illustration, is a good, siz-
able, vigorous blue crab walking along
on the bottom of the tank, close by
the glass in front. A lobster comes
along the same path from the other
direction, and they meet at the centre,
with as many persons as can see the
tank looking on. Neither gives way.
The crab is the smaller, but not a bit
afraid. Crab swings with right. but
fails to land, the blow falling short.
Lobster flops one big claw overland
and lands on top of crab shell, right
in the centre, midway between the
eyes, and pins him down to the sand
Crab waves his claw wildly with an
effort to get in on lobster, but can't
touch him.
Hold him off, cid man, hold him
Off" says an enthusiastic spectator.
Don't let him get inside your guard.
If you do you're goner."
And the lobster does hold him off,
for maybe minute, and then lifts his
heavy claw. Crab is game by nature,
but in this particular instance he
turns an goes the other way, realiz-
Ing that is fighting out of his class.
Often, h, wever, the lobster will turn
out for the crab. The crab always APP
pears to be resolute and self-reliant.
1t goes right along as if it owned the
bottom, whereas sometimes when
lobster meets a crab it seems to be
thrown off its guard, and 1t jumps
back, though the crab may be only
half as big as Itself Then 1t is pos
sible to see the manner in which the
lobster habitually jumps, which is
diagonally upward and backward tail
first. He makes quick, nervous leap
of two or three times his own length,
the crab meanwhile keeping on along
the bottom quite unruffled.
Here may be seen, in some measure,
at least, the manner in which the lob.
ster secludes itself for safety If it
hides in crevice in the rocks it al.
ways backs in, so that it's big claws,
Its weapons, are in front.-N. Y. Sun.

CAR DESIRES PEACE.
Russia's Ruler Said to Have Ex-
pressed Hope for More Confer
ences I'm the Future.

Berlin, Jan. 2.-Vorwarts publishes
an important document received from a
reliable Russian source-a second peace
manifesto from the car, to be pub
lished on the Russian New Years day,
January IS. His majesty expresses the
hope that the rulers and statesmen of
the world will inaugurate the new GEN.
tury by addressing themselves to the
problem of securing and maintaining
peace, of decreasing the fateful war
preparations which now sap the re-
sources of all civilized nations. While
regarding the peace conference at The
Hague as an event of epoch-malSing i'm
portance, the car is not unmindful of
the fact that the beginnings of peace in
which it resulted are still all too small.
With sorrow he observes that it has been
proved impossible to find means of di-
minishing the terrors of warfare at
sea, and that the same year that saw
these deliberations of the peace con-
terence has witnessed the beginning of
new war-a dark omen for the new
century.
The nations, he laments to see, are
arming not only on land but at sea,
involving the expenditure of enormous
sums. The wealth of the nations is be-
ing spentin the building of floating for
tresses, cruisers and torpedoes, which
are becoming a necessity to their ex-
istence, whereas faith in Christian dog
mas should carry with it the require
ment that such preparations for whole
sale murder be curtailed.
The car sincerely hopes that in the
new century international peace con-
ferences will continue to be held, with
view to solving the difficult and seri-
GUS questions presented. He hopes
sovereigns and statesmen may be I'M
mindful of the mad blindness of those
who hold for war and it's brutalities,
and believes that Divine Providence will
aid in the establishment of justice and
right among the nations of the world.
May the end of the century," the
manifesto concludes, ''be the beginning
of peace. May the Notwithstanding
idea throughout the world be the tri-
umph of peace over sin and human
weaknesso

An Alleged DefauIter

Lancaster, Pa, Jan. 1.-The con-
hnued absence of County Treasurer
f. Ii. Hershey, and the ugly stories
concerning his accounts which have
been afioat for week past, prepared
the public for the formal announce
ment that he is defaulter and abb
sconder. His books show a defalca-
ton of $4,000. There is on deposit in
the banks of this city $61,s4O, while
the books call for $126,s4O. There is
due the state for tax on money at in
terest for 1899 the sum of $4,000, of
which three-fourths comes back to
this county, hence the net sum owing
the state is $4,000. Hershey is be-
lieved to have gone to Canada.
