and 1t is borne out by experts.

believe, therefore, h a there is almost no
chance of ever making Atlantic Holsters
grow in California.
-Shad, whitefsh and striped bass have
beer successfully t~ransplanted from the
East to the West, but oysters do not thrive.
A seed they can be taken West and u
planted on the beaches will grow, but WIZ
not generate. Nature has arranged things
so, and l imagine that man never can over
come Nature to that extent.
-For reasons something similar We never
can hope to transplant the mammoth crabj
Cancer md0ister, which is found so plenti-
fully in the West. II IL peculiar to note that
while In Japan a lobster something like the
Atlantic lobster exists, in France there is a
sort Of tentacled lobster, which also can be
found in San Francisco. What causes these
differences it is impossible to say. Still the
Atlantic lobster which exists in japan can
not be made to thrive in California"
How about that story that many years

way2" Mr.. Redding was asked.
~Oh, that Is a canard thirty-for years
old" he answered. 1T dates back to the
time when nv father was Fish Commissioner
in California in 1872. Mr.. Livingston Stone
brought from the Atlantic Coast two
barrels Of Holsters carefully packed in
seaweed. To prevent them tearing one
another to pieces he tied their claws. When
the two barrels arrived in San Francisco
they were placed in a dinghy and my
father and Mr.. Stone and a boatman pre-
pared for q trip to what were called the
Heads Of San Francisco.
There was a fussy old chap named Dunn;
who ran a small magazine devoted 90 topics
of forest and stream. He wanted to go
along but there was not room for him.
He was annoyed at the rebuff, and when
he saw the Holsters claws were tied he
wrote an article TO say they were put In
the water that way. 1t was not 70.
why, do you know that that story Is
the only thing Of that old attempt to estab-
lish lobster culture in the West which seems

Many Indulge m-Nerve Doctor Talks.
It is not only the workers who sometimes

Too much pleasure even n . perfectly decor
GUS way may bring on attacks that require
the attention OF the nerve doctors. 1t
seems that women in society who are too
devoted to its demands are sometimes
likely to have tho freakiest Of spells.
-One OF the strangest cases Of that kind
that came under my observation q nerve
specialist told a SUN reporter, concerned
a young married woman In society, who
was not only very beautiful but very much
in demand. The summer holiday never
meant much rest or rcCuperation for her.
There were generally ak weeks In EuropeI
then Newport and q round Of country
houses before the season In New York be-
gan. One year she came back to the city
already tired out and began the daily grind
Of pleasure.
1T was not long before she was the victim
Of q most remarkable delusion. She felt
that IL was absolutely necessary for her
to clean her teeth Immediately after every
meal. Try as she might It wa perfectly
impossible for her to control this impulse.
After a short while she gave In entirely and
carried round her toothbrush and powder
wherever she went. As soon as the woman
left the table she darted upstairs and made
herself comfortable before they appeared
again in the drawing room. 1t must be said
that she had very beautiful teeth. Of which
she had always been very proud and con-
scious.
-Her struggles with the tooth brush we're
merely a form of acute nervousness into
which she had been brought by her physical
fatigue. A trip to Italy on a sloh steamer
and a vacation OF several months at the
German spa made her all right.
Another patient OF mine was q worry
pretty girl with q very enviable position
socially and other things to make her ner-
vous. One Of these was her lack OF money
and the importance Of making q brilliant
match. It vas necessary to her from her
point OF view to be seen at all the big balls
to which she was invited and not to drop
out Of the social ound at any point. So
she kept up until her nerves needed rest.
The kind Of q rest abe gave them served
for only a short time. She found that she
could not keep her fingers still at any time
and began to knit. She knit at the opera
while men talked to her and she knit in the
intervals OF cotillons.
That was not the satisfaction she ex-
pected 1t to be, however, a. Q means Ct

she came to me and Of curse needed. only

One Of the strangest cases Of nerves
that 1 ever had under my care he said,
was that of q very sensible and hard
headed woman VINO came to me the minute
she realized that something was wrong.
She laughed herself, worried as she was,
when she told me the delusions she had
begun to feel. She had found herself at
receptions or at dances at night suddenly
fearing that she might get hungry before
she got home or that she might not find
any food when she got there. This thought
Diseased her to such a degree that she
found herself putting cakes or biscuits
into her muff. One night she carried all
the way home from a ball a pate sandwich
that she had taken out Of the dining room
and chung to for the rest Of the evening.
As not a day passed that did not take her
to a luncheon, a wedding or a reception,
and frequently a dinner and two dances
in the same evening, she had plenty Of
opportunities to indulge this strange taste.
1t was after the pate sandwich episode that
she CANT to see me.

wrong with me somewhere she said, when

Il Knew how rich she was and what an
establishment she and her husband kept
up and recognized that something was
wrong. 1t proved not to be very serious.
A voyage to Italy and a s~ojourn Of several
months at a spa abroad brought her around.
l met her the other day and she laughingly
referred to her delusion. 1t seems funny
enough now she said, but wait until you

Il In the waters Of the Pacific Coast, receiv-
ing In return some specimens Of the gigantic
crab OF the West in an attempt to make
an Eastern race Of mastodonic crabs. OF
this attempt Joseph d. Redding Of this
citv. formerly California Fish Commissioner,
"a was his father before him, had some
thing to say yesterday. Mr. kedding
was first made Commissioner in 1888. He
served two years and in 1889 was reappointed
TO serve until 1894.
sThe most pretentiOus attempt at trans
planting Atlantic Holsters was in $780,
said Mr.. Redding. zone of the Fish Com
missions cars was loaded with Holsters.
There were, say, $50 grown Holsters, male
and female, and 1000 spawn transported
hacked in seaweed and drenChed in sea
water. They got out to California in good
condition and were put into the water in
Monterey Bays about 100 miles u OF
San Francisco; where the commission
decided hat conditions were such, al re-
Oarded food and the like, as the Holsters
had at home.
sOf these Holsters, except an occasional
one which was washed up dead, no trace
ever has been seen. l believe that the
failure, which was only the most recent OF
several, was due to the fact that the water
conditions are not alike. HOLSTERS thrive
in about thirty feet Of water. which has to
be very warm in summer and very cold in
winter.
-In August, when the water Ia warmest on
the Atlantic coast. up along Nova Scotia
Maine and Massachusetts,, where Holsters
thrive most, they shed their shells. When
winter comes on the shells grow again. In

For about two months she is in town.. Last
winter she took it into her head that she
could not take the frequent trips to town
without some occupation. So she began to

The medalliDns were cut out Of the
