crabs apparently taking possession of

and here, strangest of all, he grew to

great diversity among the roots as

hundreds of daily proofs, that the
crabs were so like their particular roots
that often we could not detect the
quiescent crustacean when within a
foot of our faces. There was one group
of five black roots forming u rough
circle about single notified root. AS
we approached q crab ran down each
stalk Into the water, and as we pcered
down and saw them go into their holes
We could at a glance tell the mottled
crab from the five black onos Even
the roots which were as yet a foot or
more above the bottom mud each had
its occupant. which thus had to swim
upward from his hole before he could
grasp his swaying perch.
a third class of crabs lived among
the higher trunks and branches Of the
mangrovcs. and except where here and
there was a highroad OF some large
trunk dipping into the water. these
less fortunate fellows had to scampcr
in frantic haste up the roots of their
larger brethren. The indignant owner
would rush at the trespasser with up
lifted pincers. sometimes forcing him
to leap for his iife.-C. w. Beebe in

By far the most numerous. and In
their way the most interesting. of the

There were untold millions of them. all

A few days ago a News reporter in
terviewed a prominent local wool man
whose finger is ever on the pulse OF
the sheep industry.
Yes, the past few years have been
big profit-makers for our local sheep
kings" said he. But it is a risky
business just the same. Along with
business ability 1t seems necessary to
have a bit of that rare quality called
luck TO be really successful sheep
owner. But present prospects are de-
cidedily encouraging. Wool at present
brings 20 to IS cents, clips are heavy,
ewes worth from IS to 81 apiece;
mutton at top-notch, and breeding
seasons favorable. It's a great indus
try; 1 may say the most profitable of
all In good years. but in bad years
the losses arc appalling.
II would say not less than 100000
head were sheared this last season in
Utah." he went on. That means a
clip of 100000 pounds; worth from
Is to 30 cents; total valuation near
s3.00O.000. The sheep themselves are
worth four times that sum.
THE Wyoming clip this year
amounted to 35,000,000 pounds. some
100000 head having been sheared
In that state.
Idaho shcared some $4,000 head,
the total clip probably $4,000. 900
