why n Lobstcr Turns ned.

Persons living at remote distance
from the natural home Of the lobster
think that red Is the original color of
that species of crustacean. The natr
raj hue, however. Is green, the beauti-
full bright brick color being the result
of boiling to which such creatures are
subjected. Two explanations for this
change IN color are given. either Of
which appears to be tennble: Their
shells contain n large per cent OF iron,
and the boiling process .oxdizes that
mineral, the change being almost cx-
actly the same MS that brought about
In burning brick. Such change in
the color Of Il Holsters shell can DO
brought about by the suns action. but
never while the lobster Is living. AS
rule, however. the suns bleaching
influence consumes the oxide almost as
fast as 1t Is formed. leaving the shell
pure white.
The second explanation is that the
original green color Is due to the blue
and red pigments. the blue being SOL
uble and the red insolublc in boiling
water. When the lobster is boiled, the
blue pigment is dissolved, leaving the
red to color the creatures shell.
