LoBSTERs THAT KICK.
When They Find other HOLSTERS Walk
ing and Clawing Over Them.

1t will probably be news to most
people that HOLSTERS can kick; at least
the spiny lobster from Bermuda can,
anyway. IL is not Of the familiar dark
green in color, but very strikingly tint
cd with various hues, yellow being its
! most conspicuous color
It has no big claws, the spiny lobster,
but its legs are extraordinarily long and
slender. as are also its antennae or
feelers, OF which it has two pairs. the
longer pair being as long as its body.
These longer feelers are shell encased,
rather thick at the butt, where they
Dre attached to the body, but taperinr
out through their great length to very
slender tips, and these feelers are COW
cred with tiny but needle-pointed spines
liable to warn off any creatures that
touches them.
The spiny Holsters other pair Of feel
ers are shorter and slenderer and more
flexible, and midway Of their length
these feelers are each divided into two
ports, extending outward from this
point in two straight but very slender
and flexible twighke prongs. These
shorter feelers have each In toe single
part near the body number Of joints,
so that the lobster can readily twist
them in any direction.
A very striking feature of this
spiny lobster Is its eyes which arc
carried at the end of two aeshy eylin
ders that project three quarters Of an
inch or more from its body. This ex-
traordinary species is now to be seen
at the Aquarium. In one tank there
are eight specimens, the largest Of
which would probably measure from
the tip of its longest feelers to the tip
Of its tail three feet.
They are always or almost always
on the move; slowly, to be sure, DELHI.
crately, but always moving. Some.
times the whole bunch viii get together
in one corner Of the tank in what seems
to be an inextricable tangle. Then You
see their red ana yellow bodies in q.
confused bunch, with feelers and legs
sticking out of the mass everywhere
in all directions.
And then maybe three or four of
them are lined up along the floor of the
tank in front, right at the glass, and
as likely as not the biggest lobster Of
the lot will start to walk along over
this line, walking on those other lob
sters' backs.
As the big lobster on top comes thus
clawing its way along the line it may
come to lobster that does not like be.
ing walked over, and when the big lob
ster sets its feet down on its back and
continues to set them so this lobster
rears up at it, as horse might rear
without throwing out its feet. With
It's tail folded under its body it rears
Up vigorously, once. twice. three times,

say; Get out of that, you lobsterl

BY propagating the philosophy of cor

portion OF domestic difficulty can be
forcstalled. Some OF Chieago's most

It Is likely that even the coveted g cents will bring no in- crease in sales. if that quotation is reach ed before November 3.
 It is the general opinion that the elec- eion. whether resulting one way or am other, will be the beginning of an era of better things in the industrial world. that c general resumption will result and that the farmer will be offered hls price.
 There is one favorable feature in con- nection with the market at present. how ever. It is the fact that the offering. which is universally slight, Is completely absorbed showing that even with the general indus trial cessation, there is a demand for cot ion which cannot but increase under more
 A remarkable feature in regard to the cotton trade is that the pessimism which at first was engenederd by the low price of 1ered has entirely disappeared. The spot buyeps and farmers alike recognize that the dullness only continues pending the reJuvo- nation of things industrial and that this new fife awaits only the definite outcome Of the political campaign.
