VENUS ON CRAB SHELL

Old Traveller Vows WitchinG Outlines
Are Found on Crawfish.
Every crab shell contains the form
of a woman. At least so maintains
Samuel o. Trudell, o. ali 9th avenue,
linguist. traveller and author and now
owner of u tobacco store. says the New
York Press. and he is prepared to
prove his assertion, not only from the
shells he has in his possession, but
from any that may be taken to him.
Not only is the female form divine
outlined in native grace and detail, but
in many instances it is attired in the
conventional habiliments of the pres
ent time, for the drawing room or the
street or draped in clinging garments
as if for the stage. Some, too, have
headdresses of the towering style of
the women of certain provinces OF
France.
The two species of shellfish which
bear the outlines most clearly are the
ordinary table crab and the rock crab.
but the decorations are not confined 20
those OF any one part of the world.
They may be found even on shells
picked up in New York bay. although
the finest specimens which Trudell has
are from the Gulf OF Mexico and the
English coast.
1t was back in 1870. TrudeI said,
that he discovered the strange decora-
tons, part drawing and part has re-
lief. which the crab bears on its back.
He was taking luncheon in a reStau-
rant in Pasca goula, near New Orleans,
when he recognized the form. Since
that time he has examined hundreds
of shells. and never has he failed to
find the tracingS. Often. he says, it
requires careful study 10 pick them

TELLS WHAT The AUTO DID.

Device Indicates to Owner the Move

An ingenious German instrument has
been imported which viii prove to the
owners of automobiles just what their
cars have been doing in the hands Of
the hired operators, which may prevent
those worthy men from taking theater
parties out at night and riding through
TIE streets at railroad speed.
1t is calleda velograph, and besides
registering the speed Of the car in mo-
ton it keeps a record of the number
of stops and varying speeds. IN other
words, the record will-show just what
the car has been doing without word
from the man who drove it, and should
prove an effectual check to the indis-
criminate use of the car by men hired
to drive them for their owners. The

The antiquity of California Is repre-.
scented by her missions, says the Pic
torial American of Los Angeles Be
fore their time there was naught OF
clvlllzauon-she had no history; the
aborlgines of this summerland were as
wild and untaught as the apes or
Africa or the Siinians of Central and
South America. The future may yet
uncover an ancient civilization upon
the Pacitic coast-it is possible-but
to-uay 1t Is conceded that the advent
OF the Spanish friars more than a cen
fury ago marks the beginning of a civ

banlshed from Mexico in 1867, the
Jesuits received royal commands from
spain TO proceed to Upper California
Ror the purpose Of establishing mis-
slcns and converting and educating the
Indians OF this otherwise uninhabited
country. -~ =. -.
; The first of these missions, at San
Diego, was established July 16, 1859.
ana to Padre Junipero Sierra is given
the honor Of having been its founder.
Notwithstanding the historical fact
that Padre Juan Crespi, accompanied
by a little band of soldiers and SER
wants, preceded Sierra to the spot some
Six weeks and commenced the labor of
creating the adobe structure which is
the first and oldest of a chain of TWEEN
V-one similar buildings from that
point on the south to Sonoma on the
north. For more than half a century
this work was in progress, or until
April %, 1920, when the last and ex-
creme northern mission, San Francisco
de Solano at Sonoma, was constructed.
These temples of worship, construct
ed mainly of sun-dried bricks of adobe
earth and straw, were responsible for
the creation of thoroughfare connect
ing each with the others, constituting
one continuous roadway from the mis-
sion on the south to the one at the ex-
IRENE north; this was called I'll Canine
Real, the Kings Highway.
Through the secuIarization of these
missions, subverting the objects for
which they were created, and the can
tankerous tooth of time, there remains
to-day for the most part little evidence
of their former supremacy-they are
uaught but ruins, except where in
few instances some of them have been
partially restored-mainly as land
marks and historic relies of the earlier
civilization of California, while some
few still serve the purpose of religious
ceremonials.
In their palmy days these lnstitu-
tons were prosperous and amassed
much wealth and the padres enjoyed
many luXuries, in a quiet way, avail
able In those primitive times of mea-
ger facilities and products of art and
husbandry. Settled as they were in
the midst of populous tribes of peace
able and simple Indians, they aYailed
themselves of their ability to utilize
their labor to profit. Upon the author

Vetch for Forage.

The common vetch makes one of the
best plants we know of for green for
age by sowing il in the spring, with
oats as a support. The soil should
be prepared as for wheat, and the seed
sown be one bushel of the vetch with
three pecks of oats to the acre We
have used this for summer forage for
several years, ard. while not so desir-
able as sweet corn for the same pur-
pose. it furnishes variety, and at small
cost. 1t must not. however. be con
fused with the hairy or winter vetch

which is best sown in the autumn and

The fancy cheeses are in growing
demand, and the industry should re-
ceive more attention. The cheese is
made in kettles now manufactured
with steam connection. The curd is
cooked at a high temperature. and
large waste of fat takes place, which
is saved in the better equipped fac
tories by passing the whey through
separator or is hand skinned. The
cheese requires from seventyfve to a
hundred days for curing. First it is
put in cellar with a temperature of
90 to 70 degrees, next in a temperature
of 60 to 65 degrees, and finally in
temperature not above 60 degrees. 1t
