DIRE THREAT
BY TERRORISIS,
viii Nil Foreign COnSuIS II Jewish
MdSSdCfeS Continue.
PEOPLE become DESPERATE.

Warsaw, Russia, Sept. 13.-
The Terrorists have renewed their
threats that if the Jewish mas
sacres threatened are attempted
here they will kill every foreign
consul in Warsaw and force in.
tervention by the foreign powers.
Fears of the threatened massacre
are growing hourly. The rough
tactics of the soldiers, in debating
plans to exasperate the people
and give excuse for outrages, are
deplored. People are growing
desperate under the goading of
the sioldiery and their rough en-
forcing of martial law.

Any Hour.
NAVY DEPARTMENT ACTIVE.

Washington, D. c. Sept. 13.-
From information received today
fom Charge de Affairs Sleeper, an
attack by the Cuban revolutionists
upon the city of Havana at any
time will not be surprising. The
people are looking for it, and
there seems no chance of staving
it off longer.
Orders have been sent to Nor.
folk, Va. to hurry up repairs on
the cruisers Tacoma and Cleve-
land. 1t is still hoped in official
circles here that there will be no
call for intervention by this gov
ernment.

Clayton Wednesday afternoon. The
defence contanded that as the man
was authorized by the owner Of the
engine to remove the parts said 10
have been stolen. the charge should
have been embezzlement instead of
larceny, so the prisoner was dis
charged. Smith claimed that the oil

An Interchange of Compliments Be-
tween Grant and Lee.
Toward the end Of the war between
the states the value Of well organized
scout service came to be fully appre-
ciated by the leaders of both armies.
Perhaps no commanders of modern
times were better served in this re-
spect than General Grant and General
Lee. Both were kept Informed daily az
to nearly everything that went on with
In the enemy's lines.
General Gordon relates that one
morning toward the end of the long
conflict, when the Confederates, officers
and men alike, were reduced to un-
pleasant straits for food, a captain from
the Union headquarters went, under a
1ag of truce, with q communication to
General Lee concerning the exchange
Of prisoners.
General Lee" said the, captain, with
a smile, after delivering his message,
General Grant sends you his personal
compliments and bids me assure you
that he knows exactly what you had
for breakfast this morning"
General Grant must be mislnformed
as to this" replied General Lee, sur
veying the message bearer with a sad
smile. General Grant Is a generous
man, and If he had known with what
d breakfast | had TO content myself
he would certainly have sent me half
of his. But give him my compliments, -
he continued, with n sudden twinkle,
land say that although I do not know
as to his breakfast I have full partic-
ulars concerning his dinner last night"

A LOBSTER'S LEGS.
The Two Front Ones Are Different
From the other Eight.


From the other Eight.
A lobster's legs, all told, are ten III
number, but only eight OF these are
largely used for walking. The front
pair, or big claws, have been special
lied, as In the crab and most others of
the higher crustaceans, into preaensile
organs for catching and crushing the
prey. Their use Is obvious. Lobsters
feed largely or mollusks Of various
sorts and other hard shelled marine
animals. In order to be able to break
or crush the shells OF these an1 SO 70
get at the softer flesh within they have
acquired such large and very muscular
nippers or plnchors. That Is not all,
however Not only have the two front
legs been differentiated and specialized
from the elght others In t,.is manner.
but also, by II rare exception to the
symmetry of the body, the right claw
has been specialized from the left, each
being intended to perform Il distinct
function One Is n scissors, the other
Is Liill; one Is a cutter the other Is n
cracker.
As n rule, the right claw is the slen-
derer and longer. 1t has tOothlike pro-
jections or serrated edges on Its nip
ping faces, and It Is rather adapted for
biting and severing than for crushing
or grinding. The left claw, on the 9TH
er hand, Is usually thicker, heavier and
rounder It's muscles are more power
full, and in place of sharp teeth 1t has
blunt tubercles. or hammers, of differ
ent sizes. 1t acts, In fact, more like
nutcracker than like teeth or saw.
1t Is Il smashing organ. Nevertheless
you will find 1t interesting to observe,
by noting the Holsters served to you at
table, that this differentiation has hard
ly as yet become quite constant, for
sometimes 1t Is the right claw that dis
plays the hammerlike nutcracker type
and the left that acts as nipper and
biter while sometimes no difference
occurs at ALL both claws alike being
sharp toothed or blunt hammered in the
same specimen
