THE LOBSTER'S ENEMIES.
Prey Upon and Destroy

.E.. T 49, M - Hr
"The lobster" said an old fisherman,
according to the New York Sun,
"has no greater enemy than the bot
tom-feeding fshes-blackfsh, Goldfish,
paddock. and SO on,
"They eat the lobster entire when
they find one that has just shed it's
shell, when it is not only soft but pow
e%rless, and they may disable a lobster
and then destroy it even when it is in
fighting trim. Half a dozen ~blackfsh,
for instance, might come across a lob
ster and manage to bite off its legsand
so partially disable it.
"The lobster is agile, a quick and
long jumper through the water, but
the blackfish is quicker and it can east
" keep up; and the lobster finally dis
abled, it quickly finishes it. In this

way a blackfsh might get away with

- 'AkA q
lobster of considerable size.
"The Goldfish gets many-very likely
the Goldfish knows the haunts of the
lobster better than men do. The skate,
clumsy as it is, gets some; if it can
blanket a lobster, get one of its big
f1ap-like pectoral fms over it, the skate
gradually works the lobster up to it's
mouth, and holds it so while it eats it.
The skate gets crabs in the same man
ner, and there is a fish called the crab
eater.
I'm fact there is constant warfare
going on at the bottom of the sea
among the jewellers there in the strug-
gle for existence, and the lobster
among them has no greater enemy
than the bottom-feeding fishes"

the original Investment OF capital IN
railroads is much greater mile in
England than in America, and the rates
must be heavier in order to pay divi-
| denhs; and third, our halls are longer.
A recent report by Consul Brunot OF
St. .Etienne,, France. states that con-
Germ in that country is now engaged
in the manufacture of solid petroleum,
that is, petroleum so treated that it
may De handled as coal or coke. This
product is manufactured in the form
of briquettes, which are composed
chiefly of petroleum, either crude or
refined, and possess all che desirable
qualities of coal and ordinary petro-
leum without any of the Objectionable
characteristics OF either.
The principal expense in the manu-
facture Of the new fuel is the oil, the
other ingredients and the labor cost
ing comparatively little.
Serious attention has been given in
recent years to the possibilities in the
use Of peat as fuel. In Norm Euro
pean countries in Ireland, ad in some
other regions, the peat deposits have
formed for a long time an important
fuel supply. Even in Germany, which
is relatively rich in coal. the peat bog
are exploited extensively. in the United
States there has been little Involvement
for the development Of the countrys
peat wealth; nevertheless, many be-
lieve that there is a wide field for
profitable use OF this fuel in this coan-
try. Far greater possibilities in this
direction exist in Canada. That coun-
try is practically bare Of coal, but rich
in peat, and may be forced to consid-
er the use of the latter on an extended
scale.
Peat, in,its natural state, is poor
fuel. 1t holds, suspended in the
meshes of the network of vegetable
fibres of which it IS composed, very
large percentage OF water, and also
contains much wafer in more intimate
combination. A number of methods
Of treatipg it are in operation. 1t has
long: been realized, however, that the
most desirable peat product would be
a coke, and Numerous. attempts have
ben made in this direction. Up to the
present none of these have proved sue
cessful A process developed quite re
Gently promises better results. If the
claims made for it are well founded.
the peat coke it produces will soon be
a valuable fuel.-New York Post

The question has been raised
whether if 1t should be practicable to
attain to speed Of 100 miles Or more
an hour by rail, the engineer could
stand the strain. 1t has been affirmed
by a physician that such fearful 60
ing would wear OFT his nerves in a
little while The question. has been
answered already by one experienced
engineer before a meeting of scien-
lists. Asked as to the probable ef-
fects, in case CT common accident,
of a speed CT mere than sixty miles
an hour, he said: "A smash-up at
sixty miles would make splinters Of
sverythir~; ct 100 miles the splinters
might be finer but the destruction
could not be more complete" That is
to .sar. when an engineer runs his
engine at sixty miles he is under as
severe strain as he would be At any
ether creed.
