The trouble with Charles T. Pfster
Of Milwaukee seems to have been that
he acted as a depository for some
money which he paid out at the re-
quest Of the depositor without asking
any questions. AS long as it wasn't
his money he probably figured that he
had no right to ask questions, but
hereafter he win request his friends 10
pay out their own money.

Then came the land crab. Clutching

When Skaters corps landed from the
transports and went into camp at Sib-
Oney, preparatory for the advance up
on Santiago, O'Shaughnessy and half
a hundred other war correspondents
pitched their small tents and endeav-
ored TO make themselves as comfortable
as possible under the circumstances,
which were more or less distressing in
those days of embalmed beef and made
quate cable facilities. 1t 80 happened
that O'Shaughnessy and Arthur w.
Copp of the Associated Press bunked
together for tine, and during the
first wakeful nights occupied their
joint and several times in Kidding the
immediate vicinity of their tent of that
Cuban pest known as the land crab.

To a stranger the land crab Is most
terrifying, especially at night. It is a
cross between q turtle and a lobster,
walks on the edge of its shell, flourishes
long, sinister claw in the air as it
travels and makes a rafting sound
which reminds a medical student Of
an articulator at work upon a skeleton.
Its sudden and unexpected appearance
is sufficient provocation to cause pro-
family on the part of the most auth

lation of the third commandment.

"I'H say my prayers and then we'll

Jim's suggestion.

O'Shaughnessy knelt by the bunk.

Plant Growth.

There is gradually dawning belief
that plant growth is more or less of a
chemical process that may be acceler.
ated or retarded by the application of
the proper reagents, generally in the
form of fertilizers, and that the ulti-
mate growth is usually far in excess of
the value of the material applisd. This
is apropos of some investigations that
have been conducted by NJ. Nagaoka,
Of the Toxic Imperial university, in
stimulating rice growth by the stimu.
lating action of manganese in the form
of manganese sulphate. A yield of 81
per cent over a field fertilized in the
usual manner was obtained by this in
vestigator and the value of the in
creased crop was equal to four times
lhe cost of the chemical applied.

NarwhaI One Of the strsrgest Of Sea
Animals.
One of the strangest of sea animals
is the narwhal, conjectured by some
to be the original Of the faoled uni
corn. The great popularity of this
graceful cetacean lies in its long tusk,
a polished ivory shaft, straight as an
arrow and sharp as a lance, which
protrudes from its head to a great
distance. This formidable and gilt
terlng appendage gives to the animal
a striking and spectacular appear
ance. The narwhals appear off the
coast of Greenland in schools. making
excursions into the various bays and
fords in search OF food. A band Of
a hundred or more form a picturesque
sight when plowing through the wat
er in military-like procession, the
long, gl!ttering horns all rising in
unison as they come up to the sur
face 10 blow. Their advent is hailed
with delight by the Eskimos. as they
are said to be the forerunners Of the

One of the rarest and most inter

sunset, being rarely seen in the bright
daylight. When chased in the open
It proceeds in great bounds like

as To unsettle confidence again. There
was besides considerable normal
profit taking induced by the wide re-
I.coveries from the weeks low prices.
