The Red Lobster.

The question is often asked says the
Lancet. without Il satisfactory answer
being supplied. Why do Holsters and
certain shrimps and prawns turn red
on boiling: One reason may be that
the black pigment of the lobster is an
iron compound in the lower state Of
oxidation. which boiling oXidizes 1"
the higher state. Red human hair =
said to owe its brilliance To iron c:..st-
ing in the higher oXidiZed state. and
by means of reducing agents. such as
pyrogallic acid or nutgall. the cC.o"
may be modified. In short, oxygen is
a great painter and probably accounts
for the beautiful autumnal tint Of
plant life.
