MOOSE ATTACKS A HORSE.
And the Horse Retorts in Kind--An
Incident Of the Maine Woods.

Three young men from Midtown,
near Calais, went out into the coun-
try districts recently to pass the day
and left their old horse standing un.
der the shade Of the whispering pines
while they communed with nature
some little distance away, according
to the Kennebec Journal. They were
startled by the neighing and snort
ing OF their steed and upon reach
ing the spot where the animal was
tied they witnessed an exciting en-
counter between a bull moose and the
horse. The monarch OF the forest just
happened along and found the horse
encroaching upon his domain and
very naturally resented the intrusion.
He made a run for the unfortunate
steed and a bow-on collision was al
most a sure thing. when the old
horses lighting blood got up and,
instead OF waiting to be rammed like
a fishing boat in a fog, be stood up
on his hind legs and caught the bull
moose a swat fair upon the nose with
both forefeet Both animals sat down
suddenly to think the matter over, the
moose from the surprise OF the shock.
and the horse because he lost his
balance, and it would doubtless have
gone hard with the latter which was
incumbered with the harness and rig
ging, had not the young men set upon
the forest king with yells just as he
was about to resume the attack upon
HIS helpless adversary. Any one Who
remembers the noise which q Mill
town man is capable Of making when
out for a good time will pardon
the moose for his sudden and undigni-
fed retreat.

Bug Blows a Whistle.

A common beetle last night tenn
porarily disabled a Lake Shore loco
motive pulling a west-bound passen-
ger train, and raised pandemonium
along the route for twelve miles
from here to Berea.
The bug managed to fall into the
whistle of the engine. For an hour
the whistle blew-blew demoniacal
screeches, falsetto screams, drawing
excited crowds to the track. 1t was
at milking time. The cows became
unmanageable, and many a pail OF
milk was spilled by the otherwise
peaceful bossies. Horses and sheep
fed in terror. The hysteric screeches
made rural doctors run from the sup
per table. They grasped their medi-
cine cases and raced to the railway
stations in anticipation of a fatal
wreck.
The engineer, unable to stop the
whistle and fearing that he would
run out of steam, threw open the
throttle wide and made for Berea.
There the station master and engin-
eer almost had a fight. The former
insisted that the noise be stopped,
and the engineer yelled back in his
ear that she won't stop" The en-
CINE was run on a siding, where the
railway mechanics found the big bug
in the whistle.-Cleveland> Dispatch

LOBSTERS' CLAWS.
Curious Facts About Their Differ.
ences and Replacement.

Any one who has closely observed
the lobster has noticed that its. two
claws are not alike. One is bigger
than the other, and there is a differ
ence between them in shape. The
larger claw is designed fo- crushing
objects, and is armed with blunt
tubercles. The smaller n Is de-
signed for Selling and holding, and
is provided with teeth which. are
we'll adapted for that service. In a
recent number of Science Professor
Francis H. Herrick, of the Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, spre-
sents some interesting details about
these members. = &
The big CLAW OCCURS about as; fire.
quently on the right side as OH the
left, but it has been discovered in
fish hatcheries, where the matter
could be closely studied, that all OF
the brood Of a particular. female
lobster are either right-handed or
left-handed. That is, the arrange
ment is determined in advance in the
egg. 49,,
. Similarity between the two claws,
though very unusual, is not absolute
~ unknown. Three cases of the kind
out of. 2430 Holsters examined have
been reported by a naturalist at
Woods Hole, Mass. In these in
stances the claws were of the SHARP
toothed variety: On the British
coast, however, a specimen was found
a few years ago which had two crush
ing claws. ...
One of the most remarkable. freaks
of nature is the precise manner IN
which a missing claw is often re-
placed by a new one. With a certain
species of shrimp, which is a much
smaller crustacean than the lobster.
it has been noticed that if the crush.
ing claw is lost by accident or other
cause the one which grows in its
place is invariably a toothed claw!
The shrimp then has two claws OF the
same kind. That phenomenon rarely
occurs with the lobster, although
cases are known where a crushing
claw was replaced by a toothed claw.
It has been suggested, therefore, that
the few Holsters which have been
observed with two toothed claws may
have had some such experience De-
fore they were caught, and had not
been so equipped from infancy.

Chocolate Makers.

Switzerland produces more choc-
olate than all other countries COM
bined, and the Swiss consume more
of the article in proportion to the
population than any people in the
world. The annual consumption
amounts to S2,50O,000, and the ex-
ports to nearly $4,000, 900. The
yearly export to the United States
is about sr,0O0,000, while England
takes over 100000 of concerns in
the confederation engaged in the
manufacture of chocolate, and there
are employed in the various factories
about $4,000 persons, many of whom
are women.
