Lobsters Arrived

were added to the population of the
state yesterday afternoon. Fol

veled in one car.
The new settlers were prOmi-
sing batch of young Holsters des.
tined to Yaquina Bay, in an effort
to establish Holsters on the Pacific
Coast. They travelled with the
superintendent of the Boothby Bay
Maine, hatchery, e. e. Hahn, in
charge.
In addition to the Holsters there
were 1000, 900 lobster eggs, which
wele unloaded at Yaquina and
placed in the care of the superin-
tendent of the Clackamas hatchery
who will devote his time to the
Matching.
OF the Holsters 1900 were females
without eggs, 152 had eggs attached
to their tails in large quantities,
and 700 were males. At Yaquina
they will be taken out to sea in a
tender and unloaded about the Bay
1t takes six years for d lobster to
obtain marketable age from the
egg condition.
The greatest difficulty in bring
out the Holsters was to keep the Car
at II temperature of 40 degrees
This was done by packed ice, but
owing to the extremely warm wealth
er when the car left the Atlantic
Cast, three days previously, the
Holsters were at u temperature of sc
/ degrees till the car ran-into blizz-
| ard in Wyoming. At Portland the
right temperature was maintained
The car was iced at Buffalo,
/ Chicago, Omaha, Pocatello, Hunt
ington and Green River. Mr.. Hahn
had to visit the car several times a
day and sprinkle sea water over the
crustaceans, which were packed in
layers, four deep between rock sea-
weed.
The car was entrusted to the
American Express Company, and
has been especially cared for the
whole distance, travelling on express
schedule. 1t went to Albany Mon
day night by the local, and a special
was made up to carry it on to va

be returned to their native element,

Use Of Magnets in Flour Mills.

Explosions are often caused in flour
mills and breweries by nails or other
iron particles that find their way in
the grain and which when they strike
the steel rolls of the mills produce
sparks and ignite the finely pulverized
material about them.
Recently large mailing concern
that had been troubled by many such
explosions installed set of electro.
magnets over which the grain Is
passed before being prepared for
shipment to the breweries. All iron
particles in the grain are picked up
by the magnets and 500 to 1000 BUSH
els of grain are cleaned an hour
When the magnets have collected a
large amount of metal they are swung
to one side, degener.zed and swept
clean of any particles adhering to
them by residual magnetism. Since
the installation of these magnets
there have been no explosions In the
mills.- Scientific American.

'DoLnFUL BALLAD OF A HERMIT.
by = >. b.


There was Hermit mild and good,
Who owned modest little cot
Close to the borders of a wood,
And happy was his lot.
So kind he was TO bird and beast,
They loved him as their dearest friend I;
They often shared his frugal feast,
And he the sick would tend.
One night upon his cottage door
There came a most emphatic knock,
And still another one, before
His hand could reach the lock.
He opened, and to his amaze
There stood little brownish bird
With head asant and jaunty gaze,
Who said, AT last you've heard!"
'I'll take shelter for the night"
Said he, excruciating bold,
'There is no other hut in sight,
Besides, it's rather cold"
The gentle Hermit stared aghast,
So saucy was his little guest
But spread an adequate repast,
And bade him take his rest
The bird just winled his beady eye,
Said he, MY friend, I've come to stay;
Ill build nest or two near by,
And never move away"
And so it was. Before you'd think
Some hundreds of his cousins mustered; /;
The Hermit could not sleep wink,
So loud they screamed and clustered.
Until at last they drove him out,
Which grieved his neighbors TO the
marrow,
