LOBSTER
HATCHERY

Washington, ID. C.-Uncle Sam is GO.
ing to save the lobster.
This does not refer to the Lizzie
boy who buys wine for the chorus girls,
nor to the fellow who bets two pairs
against a full hand, nor to the gentle
man who makes push.cart election bets.
The reference is entirely to the large
marine maerurous crustaeean known as
Homarus Am.rieanus to those who
know anything at ALL
A life-saving station, known as a lob
ster hatchery, will be established at
BOothbay, Me-, thanks to an appropria-
tion for the purpose recently voted by
congress. DR.. A. d. Mead, Of Brown
university, and officials Of the United
States fish commission, will proceed to
work out plans to prevent the extinc-
tion of the aforesaid Homarus Ameri.
canus. 1t is the intention to make it
clear that Holsters can be hatched and
raised as readily as chickens.
The fry is to be placed in canvas
bag, submerged in water about four
feet, which is kept in continual motion
by means of rotating propeller. In
this way, the fry are prevented from
settling into pockets and from smoth-
ering and devouring one another. The
propeller keeps the food in suspension,
so that they may readily reach it, The
plan in question was worked out by
the Rhode Island commission on inland
fisheries through Investigations carried
ON by DR.. Mead, and it will now be
tested on a large scale. When complete,
the talk of the threatened extinction
of the lobster will become obsolete.
Each female lobster produces from
5000 to 10000 eggs, according TO her
size. The eggs are carried on the
under side of the lobster attached to
the swimmerets. The eggs will be
scraped from the parent with blunt
wooden knives and placed in large
glass jars, remaining there week for
incubation. When hatched, they will
be kept protected until they have ae-
quired sufficient growth to protect
themselves. Then they will be liber.
ated at various points, in lots Of from
1000 TO 5000.
The most approved method Of re-
leasing them is to set them free in the
morning, on a stony shore, when tho
tide is out, so that they may have an
opportunity of finding hiding place and
obtaining food. They grow rapidly and,
if not molested, will attain tire.
mendous size.

Mans Other Rib.

The Biblican story of Eve being
formed from the rib Of Adam was ex.
planned by Prof. James Teacle Dennis,
of Baltimore, last night.
Nowadays men have 1s ribs. Eight
thousand years ago they used to have
13.
Prof. Dennis knows this is so, be-
cause he has seen the skeletons. An
audience in Mccoy hall Of the Johns
Hopkins university followed his arch
geological lecture upon "Tombs Of the
Ancient Egyptians with great inter
est
The remains of over l75 bodies, many
Of them estimated TO date back in life
to 5000 years before Christ, were dis.
covered by the party Of which Mr..
Dennis was director, and of this
number the 13-ribbed individuals were
in sufficient numbers to mako this anat-
omical popularity a distinctive feA.
ture.
Associated with DIR. George Reisner,
of the University of California, Mr..
Dennis one year ago made extensive ex-
cavations in the Plateau of Gizeh, in
Egypt, when number of remarkable
discoveries on the site Of an old
Egyptian cemetery dating back from
the second TO the seventh dynasty
1000 to 3400 b. c., were made, and also
a number of prehistoric tombs were dug
up, containing tho bones OF men who

Say, do you know that some OF those

thing to me of anything l ever saw.
We went all through the streets and

anything In San Francisco, and when
we went into n building occupied by

lions, and dad saw telephone and
an electric light. he thought those
things had been dug up. too, and ne
claimed that the men who were re-
ceiving millions Of dollars In royalties
on telephones and electric lights were
frauds who were infringing on Pompeii
patents 1000 years old. and he wouldn't
believe me when I told I'm that tele'
phones and electric lights were not dug
up; he said then he wouldn't believe
anything was dug up, but that tnt
whole thing was a put-up JOB TO rot

It, the workman grabbed for 1t, and
they went down together in the ashes,

Finally a man with uniform on came
along and was going to arrest dad, but

Dad could hardly wait till we got tc

but he held out until we got to oui

to count his ancient gold coins. Well
you'd aided to see dads face wher
he opened that can. It was an old to-
