The cr.b :. . F..hern.n,

The crab sometimes catches a fish,
and 1t catches it without hook and line.
It lies in wait, perhaps in some creek,
with fits jaws extended in front and
open. Perhaps a school Of killies comes
along, and it may be that a killie on the
outskirts of the school may swim un-
suspectingly along through the clear
water between the upper and lower
parts Of one #of the motionless open
claws Of the crab. When it is wen
within them the claw suddenly snaps
together and that particular little klllie
goes no farther.

These Nativs siberisns.
Waldemar Jochelson, the Russian sci
enlist who has recently returned to the
United States from Siberia, where he
spent two years as head Of the. Jesup
expedition, tells many interesting things
Of the maritime Koryaks living In scat
tered villages along the shores south
Of the Bering and Okhotsk seas. A
striking and characteristic phase of
Koryak life. according to Mr.. Jochel-
son, is their peculiar hourglass-like
houses. These are remarkable subter-
ranean habitations, having u fetid at
mosphere almost unbearable to the
white traveller. From u distance one
Of the houses has the appearance of
some huge inverted funnel arising out
Of snOwbank. The craterlike top, be-
sides forming a roof, is used as gen.
eral storing place for food and all sorts
Of articles. It slopes downward to an
aperture in the center which serves as q
smoke hole. ventilator and passageway
below. A number Of logs arranged in a
circuit support the framework of the
roof, the lower end of which rests on
secondary pile of timbers forming the
slanting walls of the interior.
For nearly nine months the whole
house is banked and covered up almost
to the protecting roof with tons of snow
chinlSed in with frozen earth and de-
bris. This brings the inmates ut all
times about ten feet below the surface.
Undoubtedly the most astonishing ana
Spectacular feature of the Koryak
house is the means of entrance. The
root is attained by scaling narrow
split log extending, down from the top.
having holes cut in it for the feet and
hands. The interior is reached by de-
scending another perpendicular hewn
stairway covered with a slippery coat
ing of grease and SCOT, which none but
a native can successfully accomplish.
The Enclosure has ground floor and is
barren of anything in the shape Of fur
niture
Large copper vessels for cooking seal
and blubber and a kettle used for
melting snow are the chief household
utensils. The diet is limited almost ex-
clusively to fish, half cooked seal and
whale flesh, with Russian brick tea as
an occasional luxury. Some thirty to

A Difference of Opinion


The teacher of an uptown school gave
her pupils little lecture on the evils
Of indulging in strong drink and e.
pecially on the damage it wrought the
human stomach, and she was much
gratified by the attention and interest
shown by the small listeners.
But the next morning she was con.
fronted by small boy whose insistent
right hand quickly attracted her atten-
tion.
what is it, Johnnie?" she asked.
"Please, teacher" the small boy an
swered, my father says that whisky
u a very good thing for your stom-
ach on pretty cold morning."
And the teacher realized that part of
her lesson had fallen on stony ground.

a Tradition Di.honor.d.

The Choctaw Nation is Inundated be-
cause one Of their number has broken
his word. A Choctaw's word has been
as good as white mans bond. This
honorable tradition of the tribe has,
however, been violated. Robert L. Fol
som, a full blooded Choctaw, was
charged with murder and the time for
his trial fixed. Then he was released,
and when the trial day came he did not
appear He. was finally arrested in
Utah and taken to Durant in Indian
Territory, where he will be tried. Fol-
som is said to be the first man Of his
tribe to flee from justice.

a Viennese baroness, recently MUIR
dered, carried the art Of being at war
with servants to the highest degree of
perfection. She had secret system
OF tubes lending from her sitting room
to the Kitchen and servants rooms. BY
means Of these she was able to hear
all manner Of uncomplimentary refer
ences to herself. She enjoyed this
strategic advantage very much, for she
was always haling her servants into
the courts, and she slept with load

Of assassination.

bonds. We did, however, consult the at
torney general, who is our legal adj

suffered any. If we are mistaken, the
state can still collect upon the bonds.
