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

y Holsters legs, all told, are ten In
humbcr, but only eight of these are
largely used for walking. The front
pair, or big claws, havo been special

the higher crustnccans. into prah ensile
organs for cntching AMI crushing the
prey. Their use is Obvious. HOLSTERS
feed largely Off mollusks OF various
sorts and other hard shellcd marine
animals. In order to be able to break
or crush the shells OF these and 30 to
get mt the softer flesh within they have
acquired such large and very muscular
nlppers or pinchcrs. Tint is not all,
however. Not only have the two front
legs been differentiated and specialized
from the eight others in this manner,
but also, by Il rare exception to tho
symmetry OF the body. the right claw
has been specialized from the left, each
being intended to perform distinct
| function. One Is scissors, the other
Is mill; one IL n cutter. tho other is n
cracker.

tections or serrated edges OH its nip

As TO Socialism

Mr.. Bryan made mIgatily sensible
remark in London the other day,
when, in the course of a talk TO
some reporters, he observed that
socialism is differently defined IN
different countries. He might have
gone stin further into the minutiae
of terminology and said that so
cialism means different things to
different people.
To the SNUG and eminently re-
spectacle citizen who has never
studied any of the principles of
sociology il stands for a terrifying
desire 10 revolutionize the owner
ship of property and create of gov
ernment a monster of interference
with all private rights. To the
anarchist il seems a cold and half
hearted slave to law and order. The
thinking man in between recognizes
the good in many of its principles
and realizes that in a sane way they
are bound to triumph.

of public ownership in a way that
shows clearly enough what the
great issues of the near future are

If by socialism you mean municipal

ODD MOSS MONKEY
HAS A LONG TAIL
Reached Climax When 1t
Broke Loose in a Coney
Island Court Room.

NEW YORK, July Sew monkeys
have tails as long or as interesting as
Steve Brodie-nOt Steve Brodie. the
bridge-Jumping man. but Steve Brodie,
the Jumping monk.
Steve Brodie IS a moss monkey from
Africa or South America or CeylOn. or
wherever good moss monkeys come
from. Steve Brodie found his way into
the COney Island Police Court by legal
channels and thereby hangs q story.
On Thursday Bostock. the animaIte
OF Coney Island. sent DR.. O. T Archer,
his veterinary surgeon, to Boston 10 get
two performing monkeys. one Of these
has been named SkidOo and Steve Brodfe
is the other.
On his way 10 Coney Island DR.. Ar
cher had the monkeys in a bag. The
conductors refused 10 allow the animals
on the car. so Dr. Archer hired a can.
When he was half way across the 5.i1S=
the simians tore a hole II the bag and
climbed out of the cab window.
SkidOO Skinned up a suspeuder rod.
and from the cable chartered defiance
AT the efforts OF the fat cop TO make
him come down and stop violating the
laws OF the State Of New York and OF
gravitation. A long chase finally ended
when George E. Cook. A b. Of the
United States cruiser West Vir-
ginia brought skidoo 70 terms and 20
his owner.
While this was transpiring the other
monk followed ia the alleged footsteps
OF Steve the First and jumped from the
structure.
NaturaIists say that moss monkeys
can swim. At any rate, this one did,
and ne was rescued by a 'lOngshore-
man, who took him TO Chamber street
cafe and for s. sold him 10 the pro-
priftor, George Reed.
There he was found by Archer. Mr..
Reed appeared in the COney Island
court in answer 10 a, summons obtained
by Archer to explain why he would
not give up the monkey, which he had
named Steve BrOdie.
When Reed came into court Steve
vas sitting on his shoulder. This posi-
rion he maintained during the early
part of the proceedings.
The hearing was cut shCrt when DR..
Archer asked that Steve be put on the
stand 10 choose his master. Steve
simultaneously seized the opportunity
and DR.. Archer's finger in his mouth.
iDr. Archer emitted a yell and Steve
bounded 10 the judges desk.
Magistrate NOorhis raped for order.
But Steve was in contempt He few
about the court room delighted with
his liberty. Women sought safety by
standing on the benches.
II was an hour before the runaway
was captured. Then the court decided

KIDNAPER FLEES,,
DROPS THE CHILD
Criminal AbandOns Babe
When Closely Pursued
by ReSCuer.

BALA, Pa, July s.-The Lower
Merton police. re-enforced BY a number
Of angry citizens, are searching the
woods near Bala in an effort 10 locate
a man who made asdastardly attempt
10 kdnap little three-year-Old Laura
Jorgeunson. Of Bala. while she was
playing near her fathers hOume.
That the case did not end in a soul
raeking repetition Of the famous Fred
die Muth case is due 70 the fieet-foot-
edness Of VicOr Parsons. Of Cynwyd,
who, hearing the screams Of the child,
set on In pursuit Of the villain, and,
after nearly "A mile Of hard running
drew so close TO the kidnaper that he
was Obliged 20 drop the child 10 save
his own skin. Elated at having recov-
cred the child, Parsons stopped for a
moment, and the man succeeded in
making good his escape.
It wss some time before the police
were notified. and IL is thought that the
kidnaper has succeeded in getting safe
~ away.
Little Laura was playing on the lawn
Of St. Asaph' Church. on COnshOhocken
avenue. and then, starting for her home
nearby, was suddenly seized by the
strange man, who caught her up in his
arms and ran rapidly for the woods
near Bala. The frightened child
screamed. and her mother. who was al
her home. ran 10 the front yard. where
she almost sWooned as she saw her
child being taken away.

front yard at work. Mrs. JOTgeunsOn
herself also set out after the man She
was soon distanced. however; but not so
with Parsons who is d good runner.
and who gained steadily on the man.

the fellow. but II is unlikely. in view
OF his long start, that he will be
