WESTMINSTER WEST.
on a tIantatlon in Mexico.

John A. Paddock reports favorably
as to the results of the seasons work
on the plantation in Mexico where he
is employed The company owns a
large tract about 60 miles from Coat
zacoalcos, in the southern part of
Mexico. Some 5000 acres have been
sold recently to a syndicate at the
rate of $50 per acre, and other sales
are now being negotiated. About
1000 tons of mahogany timber have
been cut and will be shipped to mar
ket this season. There is a large
amount of it on the land owned by the
company. The production of rubber,
chocolate, coffee and other tropical
plants is already begun. The rubber
trees grow taller than the chocolate,
which needs shade, and so both can
be grown to advantage on the same
ground. The plants are set the sec
ond year of growth, about 500 to the
acre, and in the sixth year will begin
to yield rubber and will continue to
do so for some 80 years. The eX-
pense of caring for them after they
are set is not great. and a large in
come seems to be assured, as rubber
is in great demand and the uses of it
are constantly increasing. The Their
mOmeter at the plantation, he says,
has not been lower than SO. and much
of the time has been so and So. The
labor is done by the native Indian
population. The logs have been
drawn to the river near the planta-
tion by oxen. Thirty pairs have been
used for the purpose. Mr.. Paddock
will go back about April 10 but plans
to return to this country again in
June.

Crabs Are Firhtera

Grabs are fighting animals. In fact,
they will fight anything, says a natu-
ralist. l have seen a crab, in conflict
with lobster, catch the latter over
the fore part Of the head, where the
shell is hardest, and crush it in by one
effort, and it rather bears out my idea
that the claws of these creatures are
particularly weapons Of war; that the
moment one of them receives severe in
jury in claw it drops it off by volun-
tary amputation, severing its connec-
ton with the body at the shoulder by
an act Of its own will. 1t seems to me
probable that if the claw were neces-
sary for feeding nature would rather
seek to cure an injury to it than let the
animal discard it altogether.
The species of crab which is most
conspicuously a fighter is the hermit
crab. It's first idea of Independent life
Is to eat a harmless Whelk and occupy
It's shell. It's next notion is to give bat
tie to every crab of the same persua-
sion as itself that it comes across. AL
together hermit crabs are undoubtedly
the most quarrelsome creatures in ex-
istence.

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly
ancient and therefore is not derived
from that Of the lips, but probably the
converse is true. The hand kiss IS
loosely asserted to be developed from
s0rvile Obeisances in which the earth,
the foot and the garments were kissed,
the hand and cheek succeeding in order
Of time and approach to equality of
rank. But it is doubtful if that was
the actual order, and it is certain that
at the time when hand kissing began
there were less numerous gradations of
rank than at a later stage
kissing of the hands between men is
mentioned in the Old Testament, also
by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss
was applied reyerentially to sacred OBJ
Jects, such as statues Of the gods, as is
shown by ancient works of art, and
also among numerous etymOlogies by
that Of the Latin word "adoro," and it
was also metaphorically applied by the
inferior or WOrshiper kissing his own
hand and throwing the salute to the
superior or statue.

Hearing a Fly Walk.

AS the fly glides rapidly over smooth
surface every step presses out a supply
of gum strong enough to give him a
sure footing and to sustain him in safe
ty if he halts. So strong is the cement
that that upon one Of his six feet is
quite sufficient to sustain the weight of
his whole body. But if he stands still
the gum may dry up and harden quick
~ and so securely fasten the travellers
foot as to make sudden step snap the
leg itself.
If you wish to hear a fly walk, you
can do it without the aid Of the nuga-
phone. Having made friends with the
fly, spread a silk handkerchief over
your ear and induce the insect to crawl
across the handkerchief. AS he ap-
proaches your ear you will distinctly
hear a harsh, rasping sound, made by
the contact of the insects feet with
the filaments of silk.
