Young Man Under Severe Sentence
For Reckless Driving.

Worcester, Mass.-Barry c. Orn-
dorff, son of the late T. G. Orndorff,
of this city, who was a wealthy man
ufacturer, was sentenced in Brighton
court to six months in the house of
correction on the charge of reckless
driving and thirty days in the house
of correction on the charge of drunk
enness.
Orndorff made the defense that he
did not know what happened from
the time he left Boston until he land
ed in cell. Orndorff, in big tour
ing car, smashed into an iron pole
after several policemen had tried to
stop him. The police testified that
while Commonwealth avenue was
filled with school children and vehi-
cles at busy time of day Orndorff
drove his car through the street at a
pace that was dangerous to safety.
Orndorff testified that he had eaten
some canned food that was poisonous.
He said he took drink of rock and
rye which, he said, completely numb
ed his faculties, and he could not re-
member anything from the time he
started his car up Commonwealth
avenue until he arrived in the police
station.

Crabs Tint Climb.

The tree crab of the South Sea ISL
ands is akin to the hermit crab, but 1t
is larger and it has its headquarters
sheathed in a she'll 1t is also known
as the palm crab, because it climbs
the coeoanut palm and picks the
fruit, which it nips off close to the
stem. 1t always takes care to choose
a palm tree with plenty of stones at
the foot, so that the cocoanut may be
broken by the fall. When the ma
tives see that a crab is in tree they
tie ruff of grass around the trunk.
When the crab comes down again he
is upset by the grass and falls heav-
lily to the ground, where he lies
stunned. He is then killed with a
stone axe, his nippers are tied to-
gether and he is slung upon a spear
to be carried to camp. The South
Sea islanders roast the palm crab be-
tween two hot stones and consider
the flesh a great delicacy London
