SPOTS AND SPIDER CRABS.
Tank of Little Ones at an Aquarium
Ia

A Tank of Little Ones at an Aquariam
/ Ia Popular.
An Aquarium tank that many people
stop to look at on the gallery tier, salt
water side, contains lot of the little
fishes known as spots or lafayettes and
number of small spider crabs; and
the afternoon feeding time is when
these creatures are all liveliest, says
the New York Sun. There are dozen
of the little crabs running around on
the bottom with two or three more
perched up, maybe, on the summit of
one or two rocks that rise above bot
tom. Chopped up clam is fed to the
crabs, and one little crab will get a
piece half as big as itself and run away
with it, followed by crab that got
none. Or a crab standing eating it's
portion may be approached. by two
other little crabs at the same moment,
these two trying to take away the first
crabs prize. 1t may be that one of
them will get hold of it and pull it
apart and get away perhaps with half
of it. All this time the spots, swift,
lively llIIlS uSucS, i've vi Six 1uCuoS
long, are playing tag, if their actions
mean anything at all. They dart and
dash around chasing one another, not
to bite or to hector, as fishes often do,
but just in sheer, hilarious good spir-
it's. They have had their regular feed,
and they are waiting now for the lit
tie additional feast, sort of dessert
of shrimp, that soon will be put in the
tank for them. One of these. spots will
chase another and catch it, and touch
it, as much to say: Tag; you're it,"
and, dash off in some other direction,
in chase Of some other fish, or maybe
with some other fish in chase of it.
Sometimes in their rollicking time one
of the spots will dash, down to the
bottom and make bite at piece of
clam that one of the little spider crabs
is hanging onto. Thea spot swoops
down like a bird on this little crab and
scares and startles it into clinging the
tighter to it's scrap of food. Not often
does the spot carry the food away; it
doesn't really seem to try to. Then
it's up and off after another spot.

The NAN Wa. satirico1.

inc MAN Was SRtlriCQl.
T.. P. Haskins of Cincinnati told the
following anecdote at the Everett
house. to Illustrate the phase of hui
man nature which leads people to claim
to possess knowledge on any and, all
things:
AT dinner party given some time
ago in Westerns city," said Mr.. Has
kins. "cne of the bachelor guests turned
to his very beautiful hostess and asked:
Mrs. Blank, co you know what
causes the milky way in the heavens?'
why, Z did know, but Eve forgot
ten,' was the answer he received.
That's q great pity said he sadly
shaking his head. to think that you,.
the only person in the world who knew
the cause of this phenomenon of the.
heavens, should have forgotten it!'"
And he'actually lad the cheek to feel
injured because the woman took him,
off her visiting list."-New York Trib-

TUCSON OFFICIALS
They Are Accused of Drunkenness and
 Improper Conduct.

Tucson is having trouble with some or her city officials. Alfred Duraz , charges the marshal and city physical n with insulting his family while under the infUz nee of liquor.
 One of Mir Durazo's children was 1e- centiy taken with case of chicken pox and Mrs. Durazo took the child out to the ranch just across the Santa Cruz river. pr Purcell. who is the family physician. had pronounced the case chicken-pox. but Dr. Crepin. tn city physician. and City Marshal Fay Tor. heard of the case and drove out there. Er. Crepin pronounced the case vario.oid and notified the coun; y authorities.
 Durazo and his wife allege that when Dr. Crepin and Marshal Taylor visited the ranch they were both intoxicated and insultzd both MT Durazo and daughter.
 Both the city physician and the city marsha. deny that these charges are true. DUrazo confronted pr. Crepin with them in Rossi's saloon and the doctor replied in terms dis espectful to Mir. Durazo's wife wher5 upon Durazo iioored him with a powerful blow.
 Dr. Boido. county physician. when notified of the case. visited Durazs g ranch and pronounced the case chicken-pox. He decided that there was no nece ssity for q quarantine. H. is certain that Dr. Crepin was wrong in diagnosing the case smallpox and be lieves he must nave been intoNicated as claimed
 Dr. CreBin swOre out d warrant for he arrest of Alfredo Durazo. c,la: ginS him with assault and battery.
 At the next council meeting pr.

The council seemingly places little cre5cnce in the charges and is in clined to sustain the officers against whom the charges are made.

Persons who are op- posing the opening of those saloons say they would not object so much to tn saloons themselves if they were p-on- erly conducted and were under any sort of police supervision. But they know that certain attachment of them vii be disreputable women. The recenr council resolution for the expulsion oI these women from the city has eX- pelled none Of them. On the contrary. # has attracted more If the kind Some who did not want to be herded in the block have come back on an of fcial assurance that they may have the freedom of the city.

Those living a mile away would be entirely indifferent There IS a tendency in the human race to sign any kind Of Q petition provided the sisner is not affected by it. It is easier for one to write his name than to re- fuse to do so and go to the trouble cf setting forth the r=a.on for his refusal.
