Lobsters Are Fighters

"The fighting tendency possessed by Holsters"
said an aquarium attendant, "makes it difficult
to keep them in confinement in an aquarium
The lobster is an essentially surly suspicious, and
unsociable fish, and regards anything that comes
near it as its foe. The main motive of its activ-
ity seems to be defense, and in defending itself
it manifests a blind and unrelenting vengeance.
Its keenness of attack and relentless hold when
once it has gripped its antagonist are due, it is
said, to its want of sight. The eye of the lobster
is so sensitive that strong light blinds it. AL
though it possesses keen sight when first Matched,
the lobster is practically blind later in life. 1t
sees nothing properly, but simply has the SEN
sation of light and shadow. When Holsters have
once settled down, however, they live at peace.
1t is only an armed neutrality, though, and if
one of the fish ever loses its fighting power, it is
at once attacked by the Others"

The visitor was admiring the collection
of curios belonging to his host, and his attention
had just been called to superb japanese carving
in ivory.
"By Jove what beautiful pieces!" he said,
taking one down. And then he started for the

master of the house. "I call it objectionable of

and bracelets in the same and similar designs
are plentifuly represented and it is the smart
caper to wear them together.
All sorts of chain link patterns abound in
bracelets and necklets; and stones held together
by slender thread chains come in for popular
approval French enamel shows off to good
advantage for bracelets, many being marked with
queer characters.
Art nouveau patterns are rampant and it is in
this exquisite style possibly that French jewelry
shows off to its best advantage. Especially is
this true in floral designs and all sorts of gay
winged creatures. The pleasing outline and in
PRODUCTION of gems in art nouveau patterns add
much to this style of decoration.
Oriental jewelry, with its barbaric dashes of
color and rich mountings, is not without adj
mirers, though this style of trinket is not in as
much demand during summer, when lighter ef-
fects are more suited to thin transparent fabrics
of summer.

People.
WANT THIS COUNTRY'S AID

Washington, ID. c., Jan. ga move
ment has been started to appeal to the
American public for contributions Of
food stuffs and money to relieve the
distress in the famine stricken moth
ern provinces of Japan. According to
information received at the Japanese
embassy here the northern PROVINCES
OF Japan are suffering from a severe
famine, which only the quickest re-
lief will be able to check. According
to the information obtained. the rice
crop this year has been only about
fifteen per cent of the average crop
and that the famine is causing con.
siderable suffering in the three north
ern provinces of Fukushim, Miyagi and
lwate, which have together a popula-
tion of about 100000. Many of the
people are engaged in the silk trade
and the failure of the silk output has
augmented the general suffering.
In answer TO an inquiry made by
persons in this country whether any
help from a foreign country would be
accepted the Japanese government
has sent a cable message to the
charge d'affaires in this city, saying
that such help would be very well
come at this moment. The dispatch
adds that the government investiga-
tions into the conditions In the above
named provinces has confirmed the
extreme seriousness of the situation.
The plan of the government is to es-
tablish works and give employment to
the distressed population instead of
distributing money promiscuously.

New York, Jan. 26.-In we'll inform

that the Union Pacific company has
sold part of its holdings In Great

price of $500 and that the balance of
the stock will be sold when the time
is considered right to do so. In June
the Union Pacific owned over $1S,000,-

100000 of Northern Pacific, nearly
$4,000 900 of Northern securities and

over $7,000,000 of Northern securities

1st it had converted all of its Northern
securities stock, receiving s3,338, 1856

After the conversion the company
held 225034 shares of Great North

more than the initial cost of the Hill
stocks owned by the ompany. The
Hartman venture into Northern Pa
cific in 1901 has netted the Union Pa

tion that the Great Northern stock
can be liquidated at $500 By the in
vestment of the cash profit from the

together with the dividend on North

FOR LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY

New York, Jan. 26.-The American
Missionary Association has issued an
appeal to Congregational churches,
especially, to their Sabbath schools,
and Young Peoples Societies, to OBJ
serve Sunday. Feb. II, in recognition
of the ninety-seyenth birthday OF Abra-

that at least 10000 young people will
respond 10 this appeal this year, and
that the Methodist denomination will
unite in the observance of the day.
Il appeals to other denominations TO
do likewise, so that Lincoln Memorial
Sunday may become an interdenomin'
atioual observance, inclusive, at least
of the leading Protestant denomina-
tions in the country. The Rev. Dr..

Commissary General OF the Army.
General H. G. Sharpee, has decided 10
establish two additional schools for
bakers and cooks for the United
states army. One of these schools
VIII be al jefferson Barracks, Mo,
and the other at the Preside, at San
Francisco. So much success has fol-
lowed the operation of similar schools
at Fort Riley, Kan, attended by en-
listed men and by company command
ers, that General Sharpe realized that
the increased facilities of instruction
in cooking and baking in a practical
way will be Of decided advantage to
the army. He is a firm believer in
the influence upon the military ef-
ficiency OF proper preparation OF the
food for soldiers in the field. Hither-
TO little or no attention has been paid
to the subject, and Il Is thought that
familiarity with such work on the
part of those employed to do the
cooking and baking, as well as on the
part OF the officers in command OF
companies, batteries and troops, will
be quite as important In it's way as
any other training for military duty.
General Sharpe is also anxious 10 have
established series OF prizes which
Will be given to those who make the
best records at the schools Of cooks
and bakers AT the end OF each term,
the class will be examined practically
and theoretically. and those who stand

year would furnish the compensation
regarded as desirable TO award for

NAVY APPROPRIATIONS
BETTER ARMY COOKING

Washington, d. c., Jan. 26.-Tnere
is every reason TO believe that the
House Naval Committee will still fur
ther reduce the naval estimates in its
revision of the departmental recon-
mendations used as the basis for the
annual naval appropriation act II
was hoped by those in charge of pub
lie works at navy yards and stations
tht congress would be mode liberal
this year than usual. Last year the
appropriation for naval increase
amounted to S49,000000, while that
for public Improvements such as the
equipment of naval repair plants, was
$2,500OO0. This Is not considered a
fair proportion. and it has been main
talned that with the increase In the
navy and the larger volume of work
which must be performed at naval
stations there should be a more ade-
quate provision for Improvements of
the yards and ships and betterment
of the working facilities. The chief
of the Bureau of Yards and Docks
mas been before the House Naval
Committee several times, and has
urger the claims of his de-
partment. II was evident, however,
that the committee was disposed to
reduce at every turn the bureau esti.
mates for yard improvements and 1t
will not be surprising to the Navy
authorities If they find
their recommendations materially re-
duced.

EMPEROR WILLIAM WANTS
PLENTY OF GOOD WATER

Berlin, Jan. 26.-Curious interest
attaches to the announcement that
Emperor William has commissioned
Herr Won Uslar, the chief govern
ment Official of Apenrade, province
of Schieisswig- -Hoistein, to proceed to
German Southwest Africa and find
subterranean springs by means of a
diyining rod. Won Uslar has wide
reputation as water finder, but
scientists refuse to admit that he has
discovered water by means of a di-
vining rod. The emperor heard of
his ability to locate water and decid-
ed to utilize his power lor the pud-
pose of alleviating the chronic water
famine in German Southwest Africa,
where the Germa ntroops are SER
iously handicapped by lack of water.
