A LO8STER'S LEGS.
The Two Front Ones Are Different
From the Ofhcr Esrht.

From the Other Eight
A lotster's legs. all told. are ten in
number, but only eight OF these arc
largely used for walkings The front
pair. or big claws, have been special
lied, as in the crab and most others OF
the higher cruStaceans, into prehensile
organs for catching and crushing tie
prey. Their use is obvious Lobsters
feed largely off mollusks of various
sorts and other hard shelled marine
animals In order to be able TO break
or crush the shells Of these and so 10
get at the softer flesh within they have
acquired such large and very muscular
ntppers or pinchers. That 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 rare exception TO the
symmetry Of the body. the right claw
has been specialized from the left. each
being intended to perform a distinct
function. One is a scissors. the other
is a mill; one is a cutter. the other is
cracker
AS a 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. Its muscles are more power
/ full. and in place Of sharp teeth il has
blunt tubercles. or hammers, Of differ
ent sizes. 1t acts, in fact, more like a
nutcraeker than like teeth or saw.
1t Is a smashing organ. Nevertheless
you will find it 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 it is the right claw that dis
plays the hammerlike nutcracker type
and the left that acts as nipper and
bitter, while sometimes no difference
occurs at all, both claws alike being
sharp toothed or blunt hammered in the
same specimen.

CATCH FEMALE
in MANS ATTIRE

Dressed in mans attire, Mrs. L. a.
Zabilio. who said she came from Jen-
nings, Ala, was arrested early yester-
day morning by Patrolman Pautz in
East First street
She was in company with a man who
she afterward said was her husband.
The officer saw the couple walking
down the street, and thinking there
was something suspicious about their
actions, stopped to interrogate them.
Looking closer. the experienced Off
Ger detected that the supposed lad was
a woman, and he Immediately arrested
the pair and took them to the police
station.
Mrs. zabolio there confessed she was
masquerading in masculine attire for
the sake of escaping observation.
She told the desk sergeant she came
from Jennings, Ala, with her husband
by the brakebeam route and was forced
to adopt a dress suited to her strenuous
life.
The Zabolios We're detained in the
city Jail all day, but We're released last
night for lack of any incrimina ting ev-
idence against them.
The police took no stock I'm a fanciful
story the woman told to the effect that
she became involved In trouble I'm the
east and fed to California TO escape the
effect of malicious slanders.

OFFICER SERVES ATTACHMENT
UNDER DIFFICULTY
Leaps Into Metal company's Window,
startIes the Employees and ls Re-
warded by Having His
"Jewelry" Plated

Deputy Sheriff Charlie Gilbert, one of
the most capable officers of Sheriff
Whites staff, yesterday won himself
undying fame and a pair Of up-to-date
gold spurs by climbing from window to
window on the third floor Of a down
town business building, finally to leap
through an aperture and thus serve an
attachment on an unwilling company.
Late yesterday afternoon Gilbert was
handed an attachment to serve on the
Tempered Ductile Metal company of
West First street. incidentally Gilbert
was informed that other officers had
failed entirely to serve attachment be-
cause of the fact that the doors of the
place were locked and the only win
dows were on the third floor OF the
building.
Putting the attachment for $1,000 in
his pocket Gilbert went to the place
only to discover that the doors were
not only locked but were barred.
Via Fire Escape
After studying the place he went to
an adjoining building and managed to
reach the second story of the metal
companys home. BY careful climbing
he reached the fire escape and then
mounted to the third floor of tie build
ing. In the street below the pedes-
trians were watching the nervy deputy
but he paid no attention to them and
clinging like a fly to the window
ledges he managed to reach an open
window which led directly into the
rooms of the company.
Like a catapult Gilbert leaped

through the window and landed on the
floor.
who the h-ll are you and what
the hill do you want?" Is said to have
been the ungracious greeting to the Of
ficer, who stood with his hat in one
hand and the attachment papers in the
other.
After Gilbert had explained his visit
TO the man in charge the two began to
talk over the unique entrance effected
by the officer. Following that Gilbert
became interested in the metal process
and was shown over the plant.
Turns Knife to Gold
The proprietor Of the place took the
officers knife and In q second had
plunged the blade in a certain bowl,
turned on the electricity and with
drawn It covered with a beautiful
plating of gold.
The officers eyes began to grow large
and in leaning over to view the expert
ment the sheen of his nicklee. hand
cuffs caught the eye Of the metal
worker.
f"That trick of yours was pretty
good" continued the attached metal
man, "and you lave won your golden
spurs"
He then asked eor Gilbert's handouts
ana proceeded to dip the heavy links
In the pot of gold. Within FIVE min
utes Gilbert was leaving the office with
broad smile on his face and a pair Of
beautifully plated gold handouts
sticking in his back pocket.
Hereafter Gilbert will be given
charge of the aristocratic prisoners.
He recently won fame by bringing a
handsome prisoner back from Portland.
The woman was charged with en-
bezzlement and from now on Gilbert
Will be given the pick so that he may
allow his prisoners to wear gold hand
cuffs
Even Stackpole, the alleged mur-
derer, who cringes at the sight of cuffs.
will probably be more than glad to
march across the street from the jail
to the court room bearing the shining
and cleaning gold cuffs.
And as for Gilbert. the other deputies
are having a hard time to keep him
from wearing the gold cuffs on his
watch chain.

TO INSPECT OILED STREETS
Board of Public Works and Council
Will Go to Santa
Monica

The board of public works, the city
council and other city officials will be
guests of the Municipal league this af-
ternoon on a trip to Santa Monica,
where the new method of constructing
oiled streets will be inspected. A spe-
cial car will leave the Fourth street
depot at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon and
take the city officials to the seaside
city, where the work on oiled streets is
being done.
The Municipal league is anxious to
induce the board of public works to use
the method of making oiled streets that
prevails in Santa Monica. The present
method used by the city is declared to
be satisfactory except on streets on
which there is heavy traffic. The Santa
Monica method is said to be but little
more expensive than that used in this
city, and If it meets the approval of
the board and the council it will prob
ably be adopted.

announcing Miss Lannon's start for
California. She came for a rest and
pleasure visit with friends. but the

home upon their return in Los Angeles.
