LOBSTER CLIMBS TREES.
Inland Sea Captures of the East In-
din Islands That Are Fond Of
Cocoanuts.

In the East Indian islands is found a
curious lobster which climbs trees. Al
though il prefers a home on land it at
times feels longing for the water,
where it goes to moisten its gills; and
here the eggs are laid, and the young
are raised on the coast, where they
have the benefit Of salt air, always
good for children. But most Of their
time is spent inland, living at the roots
Of trees where they have burrowed
deep hollows which they carpet lux
uriously with fibers stripped from CO..
coanuts.
They come out of these homes at
night to climb the palm trees, for al
though it seems funny to us, their
climbing is quite serious business to
them, since it is in this way that they
secure the cocoanuts of which they are
so fond and on which they live princi-
pally.
To get at the contents of the nut the
lobster first tears away the fiber which
covers the three -eyes." (You must all
have noticed those black spots on one
end Of cocoanut that makes it look
like the wierd face Of monkey.) 1t
hammers away with its claws at these
spots or "eyes" until a hole is made
when 1t extracts the kernel by means
OF its smaller pincers. Sometimes af-
ter drilling through the perforated
'.eye" il grasps the nut in its claws and
breaks it against stone.

The 0P POSITION

Her Right To Immediate
Statehood.

Save for the wirs pulling on thu
part of the score or more organiza
tions from the territories and thu
party pressure which the republi
can senate oligarchy can bring tt
bear all statehood matters will res
until after the Christmas holidays
Senators Quay and Beveridge en-
tered into an agreement yesterday
that Senator Dillingham's speech
would close all discussion until
January.
When congress convenes after
the holiday recess opponents Of
statehood must be prepared to taxi
up the discussion. II was appar-
ent yesterday that it would be i'm
possible to secure a quorum OF
senators the rest Of the week TO
hear speeches. Senator Dllling-
ham talked to empty seats. Sena-
tor Quay wants to spend as much
time in Florida as possible during
the holidays andit was therefore
easy to patch up an agreement be.
tween the opposition forces.
Every delay in the statehood de
bate gives the opponents Of the
bill an advantage. The various
committees there from the terri
tories are thoroughly disgusted
They came to Washington under
the impression that the tigh'
would be over before the holiday
recess. If they return home for
the holidays now they will have
travelling expenses piled upon
them and il they remain Washing
ton hotel bills will swell expense
accounts beyond all reasonable
proportion.
The statehood fight is no nearer
solution than at the beginning OF
the session. Quay has the votes
but all the advantage Of parliamen-
tary position and senate organiza-
ton is with the opposition. New
Mexico and Arizona have been
mercilessly assailed.
If the omnibus bill fails the ter
ritories will have little hope OF
statehood for years to come. They
are derided by part of the easter .
press and unfair comparisons are
made against them in the senate
As for Oklahoma, it is in better
position than ever before. No one
questions its right to statehood
and compliments of the new terri
tory are heard at e7ery corner
Whatever may ha : to the ON
nious bill, OkIah9 admission

No Sign on Awning.

quested the District Commissioners to per-
NIT Mr.. +. j. Burtt, clerk in charge Of sub
station No 2, located at 426 7th street
southwest. to place lettering on the side
curtains of the awning in front of the said
premises Colonel John Biddle, the Engi-
neer Commissioner, has recommended that
the postmaster be informed that it has
been the consistent policy OF his department
not to allow any lettering to be placed on
the awnings, except the house number and
the name of the individual or firm trans
acting business in the building. Colonel
Biddle states that in similar instance the
placing of the word post office on the
awning flap was not allowed. He suggests,
however, that the applicant can resort to
a sign projecting three and one-haf feet
from the building line.

Reply to an Inquiry of Contractor
Speir.

Speir.
W. E. Speir, a contractor, recently wrote
to the District Commissioners, requesting
drawings and specifications showing the
wishes of the District concerning ceiling
under roof trusses in the rear wing of the
new workhouse. He said he could not un-
derstand why the District wanted him to
put up the ceiling without compensation
therefor. The inspector of buildings report
ed that the drawings forming part of the
contract are ample and clear as to loca-
ton and construction of ironwork for the
introduction of metal ceilings. The Engf-
neer Commissioner Colonel Bidde, has re-
ported that the specifications are silent as
to metal ceiling, but corrugated iron cell
ing Is indicated on the drawings, in his
judgment, with sufficient clearness to JUS
tify the Commissioners in requiring the con-
tractor to put the iron ceiling in without
additional compensation. Colonel Biddle
says he cannot see how any bidder could
have overlooked the indications on the
drawings requiring a metal ceiling, and II
the indications were noticed Colonel Bid
die cannot understand how any bidder could
fail to figure on supplying it.
