Crabs that Hunt Rabbits.

Catching rabbits with a crab is a
favorite pastime of the country boys
in the lands lying on the English
coast. One would think a mouse trap
and a bit of cheese would be a saner
method, but it isn't. The way they
work it is this:
A large, lively crab is caught on the
shore and pressed into service. From
a lighted candle hot grease is dropped
on the back of the crustacean and the
candle stuck upright in this way on
the shell. AS soon as the grease hold
ing the candle has hardened firmly the
crab is placed in one end of a rabbit
burrow, at the other end of which
there is a net. The rabbits, seeing the
strange looking creature coming to
ward them sideways with a lighted
candle on its back become terrified
and bolt out to be caught in the net
of the hunters. In due time the crab
also energies and is caught and placed
in the mouth of another burrow to
scare out other rabbits. This continues
until the boys have bagged all the rab-
bits they want. If the crab proves
himself lively and works hard in their
behalf the hunters generally restore
him to the sea after the nights sport
is over.

THE DAILY SENTINEL
l N. BUNTJN q, Editor.

Denver. The big mills and con>
tractors are willing to deal with
the individual unions but they will
have none OF the arbitrary Building
Trades council. They say that
this council was more autocratic
in its demands than ever capital
pretended to be and that they will
not have the work of years dissi-
pated by an arbitrary board for
every tancied grievance. 1t now
develops that there was little SYM
pathy by the people of Denver for
the sympathetic strike which the
other unions put up to assist the
woodworkers.

The building trades council OF
Denver, instead of now placing a
ban, is having a ban placed on it.
There is hardly question that the

arbitrary in its demands and very
unreasonable at that. They would
make no concessions until they
found they were radically wrong in
what they asked and then it was

A wonderful manuscript book on
archaeology has just been presented to
the library of congress by Thomas Will
son, LII. D., of Washington. The au-
thor of the work in question, Mr.. 5.
II. Binkley, a farmer of Montgomery
county, Ohio, died in 1900, at the age
of "a years.
Mr. Binkley employed mis- spare time
for the last twenty years of his life
in writing this book, or rather printing
1t with pen and ink, and illustrating it
with drawings in black md white and
color, which have the tlneness of en-
cravings and Autographs.
The objects described and illustrated
are the common utensils of the aborig-
inal inhabitants of this country. and
embrace arrow and spear heads of bone
and stone. domestic belongings of va
rious kinds, working implements, cary
ings. etc.
Professor w. K. Moorehead of New
YORK, who, through mere accident.
became possessed of the unique vol
ume. thus speaks of the author accord
Ing to the few facts which he has been
enabled to gather concerning him:
%. H. Binkley was gentleman
farmer of the old school, Whether he
was college graduate or not l am
unable to say, but my impression is
that he educated himself. He possessed
fine farm in the Miami Bottoms.
south of Dayton, in Montgomery coun-
ty, Ohio. There were walls, circles
ETC., Of prehistoric remains upon his
property and the presence of these
turned his attention to archaeological
matters.
Mr.. Binkley began to collect Indian
relics, and up to 1889 had gathered
from his immediate neighborhood a
very comprehensive exhibit of more
than 10000 specimens. He also wrote
scientific and popular articles for sew
eral magazines and newspapers
Mr.. Binkley conceived the idea of a
hand-printed book, with illustrations
drawn by himself in which he would
describe his collection. He began this
work about 1870, and continued it up
to year before his death, in 1900. l.
may be seen by an examination of his
books that Binkley's observations are
all reasonable up to within few
pages OF the end of the volume.
He wrote but few pages each year
Tin the winter) and spent hours upon
the drawings and printing of words
After he had passed his Goth year Che
died at the age of 94) his mind became
clouded, and he saw in many of the
stones faces of apes, ETC.
This book is remarkable in that it
shows vast amount of painstaking
labor. the discerning eye of a compe
tent collector, and the pleasurable oc-
cupation OF gentleman farmer who
cared more for these matters than he
did for his estate. 1t is one of the rare
examples of patience and take your
time in this bustling world of fever
ish American life.

hobby, sold and scattered his large col
