fisherman on Long Island, who was on the
lookout for crustaceans bearing the.sta-
tion tag. He was the first to report hav-
ing caught one in his traps. He found
the lobster one morning about month
after it had been set free.
The lobster was kept alive and sent to
the station here as requested So far as
the commissioners could tell, there had
been but slight change. and that was
in the growth Of the captive.
In a short time another of the tag
bearers was taken away down near the
western end of Long Island, nearly 100
miles from the place where it was set
free. Subsequently many others were
taken in the same region and in the vi
cinity of Block island.
None were caught eastward of the
points where they had been liberated.
and the experiment seems to prove that
the tag-bearing Holsters had all started
south Immediately after being put into
the water.
Fifteen days after the last lot Of lob.
sters had been put into the waters of
Vineyard sound, o1e Of them was caught
just Is miles frose the point where it
had been liberated, so that this fellow
had travelled at an average speed Of one
mile day. This speed was considerably
faster than it was believed possible for a
lobster to go, ald exploded the theory
that Holsters are home-bodies for the
reason that it took them so long to travel
from place to place.
Within year after the tag-bcarers
had been liberated. more than Is per
cent. of the total number were heard
from, and in almost every instance they
were all found to the westward of this
harbor and from five to 200 miles away
from the spot where they were dumped
into the sound.
The fact that none.of the holsters was
found north of Cape Cod has been a
source of surprise to the commissioners,
for they believed that sooner or later
some Of them would be caught by the
fishermen who set pots along the Cape
Cod bay shore and at Plymouth. :, The
fishermen north of Cape Cod have been
keeping a sharp lookout for the tag
bearers ever since they were set free, but
not one of them has been seen.
Lobsters are plentiful in the waters
north of Cape Cod, but they un'loubted-
ly belong to another tribe, and so do not
mingle with those that inhabit the
waters of the cape and along Vineyard
sound.

LOBSTERS ARE TRAVELLERS.
sioners Turn UP at Points Many
Miles Distant.

Some interesting experiments to de-
| termine the habits of the lobster have
been conducted at the United States fish
hatchery station at Woods Hole, Mass.
and they have so far progressed as to
show that the popular belief that the
lobster never strays far from the place
of its birth is q fallacy, says the New
York Sun.
About 300 Holsters, each bearing tag
to show that it was put overheard by the
fishery experts. are crawling over the
bottom of the Atlantic ocean, supposed
ly off the south shore of Cape Cod. They
are part OF the whole enumber-about 400
that were set free in the waters of
Vineyard sound three years ago, and the
commissioners would like to learn their
exact whereabouts.
The Holsters, carrying little copper
tags fastened to their noses, were caught
IN Vineyard sound, and were liberated
IN the exact places from which they were
taken. The commissioners employed
system of tagging for the purpose of
trying to determine their HABITS and to
learn, If possible, how often they shed
their shells.
Long before the commissioners liber-
ated any of the tag-bearing Holsters.
they issued notices which were sent
broadcast among the fishermen along the
Atlantic coast, informing them of the
purpose for which the Holsters were
tagged, and asking their cooperation in
carrying out the experiment. The fish
ermen were asked to send all tag-bear-
ing Holsters they caught to the hatchery
station here, and they we're furnished
with blanks which they We're requested
to fill out giving the circumstances at
tending the capture Of the Holsters.

against bowel trouble. AS a rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has tend
ency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then dose of castor oil, and the dis
ease may be checked In it's incipiency

castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept for in
stant use as soon as the first indica-
ton of any bowel trouble appears.
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases of
cholera infantum. For sale by all

Mrs. Daniels Banquets
Fitzgerald Secret Societies

The banquet given Tuesday
evening by Mrs. E. M. Daniels,
at the Palace Restaurant, was a
success in every particular, and
fully demonstrated that lady's
ability to plan and execute an
laborate and enjoyable affair.
Several days prior to the date
set for the banquet, the COM
handing officer of each secret
society in the city received a note
inviting all the members to at
tend the supper, which was fur
nished, prepared and served
without cost to any guest. These
invitations were read in open
lodge, and a goodly number of
each organization accepted.
Nearly every order in the city
was represented, including the
w. r. c. and G. A. r. who ap-
peared to enjoy the evening fully
as we'll as any of the younger
people present.
The only matter of regret was
that the Dining room was not
larger, as when the tables were
filled, the time seemed long to
those who waited their turn to be
served by the pleasant hostess
and her capable assistants. The
viands were prepared with the
de1icacy of the expert chef, and
placed before the diners in ir-
reproachable style, and every
one who ate at The Palace Res
taurant on this occasion will be
ever ready to speak a word of
praise for the manner in which
this new and up-to-date house is
conducted by its efficient land
lady.

For the friendly greetings of the
American newspapers upon my first
visit to the hospitable shores of the
United States, I offer my heartfelt
thanks. This kind attention touches
me all the more profoundly because I
realize the vastness of the power WELD
ed by the press of the United States
and admire the keen intelligence with
which it is uniformly directed I am
glad to be able to add that l also ap-
preciate the ethical worth of the aims
of the attainment of which that power
is so often and so successfully en-
ployed. One of the noblest of these
aims is the establishment of peace and
friendship among nations and it is to
the praiseworthy efforts of the people
of the United States in this direction
that my visit to the New World is at
tributable. For it is in compliance
with the American peoples desire for
