Land Crabs.

one or the comhioncSt and the lar
gest of the Christmas island land crabs
is the well known rUbber crab. which
is found in most Of the tropical islands
of the Indian and Pacific oceans. y
sometimes reaches length of two feet
and may measure seven inches across
the back. Its cOlors are of very
gaudy description. the ground color be-
ing bright red, upon which there are
stripes of yellow. but in some cases n
purplish blue is the prevailing tint
The eyes are fixed on stalks which
can be moved independently of one an
other, and there are two pairs. of feel
ers, one long, the other short. The lat
ter pair are continually jerked up and
down. There is a pair of powerful
claws, then several walking legs. In
general appearance these animals are
much more like rather stout Holsters
than crabs, and ones first encounter
with one of these creatures in the mid
die of forest far from the sea is pro-
ductive of much establishment on both
sides.
SBtCItS vi CTtD COLI
mon in Christmas island is little
bright red animal which i'm general
shape is much like the common shore
crab. This variety makes burrows in
the ground. and in some places the soil
is honeycombed with hundreds of holes.
The crabs spend most of theii time
collecting dead leaves. which they car
ry in their claws, holding them up over
their heads. and drag down into their
burrows. into which :hey seattle at the

Crabs In Disguise.

Human beings are not the only crea-
lures that have discovered the aI-
petiZng. though indigestible. qualities
of crabs. and some of these animals
have been compelled to resort to vari-
Gus defensive measures. Disguise is
one of these and is practiced with
great effect by spider crabs.
These deliberately bite up seaweeds
and plant them on their backs, very
soon establishing a growth which har
monies perfectly with the surround
ings and deceives many an enemy.
Should the weeds grow too vigorously.
the crab industriOusly prunes them
with his claws and every now and then
scrapes the whole lot off and starts
fresh garden on his roof, so to speak.
The sponge crab behaves in a similar
manner, nipping off little bits of living
where they grow vigorously. The
same end is served as i'm the other case.
1t is very amusing to keep crabs of
one or other of these kinds in an aG,a-
rum and deprive them of the C.;i:l
means of cOncealment.
They get very nervous and agitated
and try to cover themselves with bits
of paper or anything else that may be
provided. One such captive is said to
have had a little greatcOat made for
him. which he put on In a hurry as
soon as it was handed to him.

NEW WAY TO EXTRACT GOLD. Test of Hicks Process Gives Good Re-
 suits From Low Grade Ores.

Fort Wayne. Ind, Special.
 The Hicks process for extracting gold ere. which has been given test here. bids fair to revolutionize the methods now in vogue in the gold fields of America. Nine hundred and forty eight pounds of ore from a mine at Dahlonega, Ga., were run through the machine. and the result was the ex- traction of $S00.4S worth of gold. Of this an assay showed only $1.76 in the tailings. Nearly 200 mining experts were present from the West and South. The tests were made at the Bass works where the machine is manufactured Ore from the Death Valley. Cal, mine. where other processes have been fail ures. was tested, and $97.41 a ton was recovered. The Hicks process consists in running the ore through a cylinder within which there is, a small cylinder in a mercury bath, the result being a constantly growing amalgamated sur face, which results in a saving of values. The concentrates, which are saved. are subjected to hot mercury vapor and reamalgamated.

TO ENTERTAIN DELEGATES
Business Men Arrange Program to Care for Conventions Here
 Next Week.

At 1 o'clock yesterday the Commit tee on Conventions and the Committee on Entertainment of the Commercial and Industrial Association held meeting to consider ways and means of entertaining the delegates to the Alabama Press Association and the Alabama Commercial and Industrial Association, who will assemble here in annual session next Thursday.
 The Committee organized with MT. A. G, Forbes as Chairman and number of sub b-committees were at once appointed, so that everyone would have some work to do and being equally di- yided the work would rest heavily upon no man. After a full discussion. the committee unanimously decided that most unique and interesting form of entertainment would be to carry the delegates to the two conventions out to "srassmeade," the splendid planta- ton of Col. J. NJ. Falkner, five miles from the city. Here they will be shown a model plantation. with its farm lands, orchards, stock, poultry and dairy featui es, after which an old fashioned barbecue dinner will be served to the guests.
 This will undoubtedly form a de- lightful treat to the visitors and will entertain as well as instruct them in the life of the Alabama planter.
 The Advertising Committee of the Commercial and Industrial Association will have a meeting at o'clock this evening. The members are: w. B. Davidson. Chairman; F. P. Chaffee. Herbert Coleman, R. T. Goodwin, E. E. Kersh, F. l.. Moreland, J. c. Par ker, Maxie Pepperman, c. H. Roque- more. Leon Well and A. J. Miller
 The Special Program Committee of fhe Street Fair Association held a meeting yesterday at 6 o'clock, there being present Messrs. E. Meertief, H. Ruth, c. F. Moritz and F. P. Chaffee. Some new suggestions were offered in relation to the fall entertainment in Montgomery and new plans were dis cussed and decided upon. A report win be made later to the board.
