Lodz, Russian Poland. June "a
Yesterday was BLACK Friday" and in
Lodz it surpassed all the horrors Of
Red Sunday" in ST. Petersburg.
While it is not yet possible to ascer,
tain the exact number of the victims
of the riots, conservative estimates
place the number of killed and wound
ed at two thousand. The troubles here
were initiated by the social democrats
and the Jewish Bund, who determined
to avenge the death of their comrades
who were killed in the rioting of We'd
nesday. The city was given over TO
reign OF bloodshed Anarchy pre-
vailed all day. Barricades were hur-
riedy constructed in the Jewish quar-
ters at early dawn. The telegraph
and telephone lines were cut and early
in the day two bombs were thrown in
to the military barracks, killing TWEEN,
ty soldiers. This started the blood
she'd which lasted until after night
fall. At IL o'clock all the factory
hands struck and fiocked into he
streets. The soldiers charged he
dense crowds time after time, firing
into the living mass. The rioters re.
piled with their revolvers while their
comrades on the roofs and in the win
dows of the houses Joined in the fnsil-
lade. Some of these dashed vitrol from

seen crab twice tall. Early one evening the
party started out with number of long seine-like
nets that were set at high tide at the entrance
OF a small shallow bay by which a deep channel.
The men explained that the big crabs came up
out of the channel at night to feed on the flats
where at times they could be trapped. The nets
set, the fishermen went ashore to wait for the
tide to go down, knowing that the crabs, if any
had ventured out, would go down with it to the
channel and so run into the net. The men slept
on the sands until the moon was waning when the
head man gave the signal and they took to the

the most ordinary and common objects having
a certain beauty and art value.
This popularity applies to many of their
animals. The mandarin duck is distinctly
Japanese, and some of their fishes are grOtes-
que The carps of the black, white and golden
cross, the turtles with hair" or covered with
streaming green weed, are peculiar but the
most remarkable animal in Japan is crab,
found in the bays and inlets, crab gigantic
SO unlike any other known member of the
family, that it seems like a figure of the imag
inatiOn.
Several years ago an American naturalist
went to Japan on his way around the world,
with a view to collecting crabs for a client who
was devoted to these animals, as many COlleC
tors are to stamps. In the islands of the South
Pacific he found a remarkable crab, known
as the birgOS, native taking him to a COcOanut
grove where the trees undermined by
the crabs which lived in dens at their roots
They climbing the trees, where they
would bite off a nut, allowing it to drop; then
they would cleverly tear Off the husk, bit by
bit, using it to line their dens, eating the fruit
either by inserting back claw in the hole and
taking out the meat, lracturing it by
dropping it from the tree.
To carry away these crabs, which in some
instances weighed eight ten pounds, the
naturalist put his specimens in oil cans, but
discovered in the morning that several had
escaped by biting through the can with their
powerful claws and turning up the tin.
natives stated that one of these large crabs

it-an illustration that will give some idea of
power and strength of the animal. This CT
lives entirely on land, and when out of its 81
resembles the hermit-Crab.
Arriving in Japan, the traveller heard of
singular crabs of that coast the stOnecrab, Il

it rarely caught, as it lived in certain localit
but for consideration they would form an expe

and one morning they sailed from the little D
