Crab Has Iapanese Face.

Nature in her initiative moods, seems
on occasions actually to become sportive
and ocular. For example, how. unless
it were meant az a joke, is one to ac-
count for the remarkable Taira crab Of
Japan, which has recently attracted the
attention Of scieneel
Japanese tradition tells OF great
naval battle which was fought in the
sea Of Japan in very early times, many
centuries ago a force Of piratical sea
fighters had assembled TO oppose the
doughty Japs, but was overwhelmingly
defeated, the feet being entirely wiped
ont, with no survivors worth mention
ing. Since that day, according to the
story, all the crabs Of a certain species
common on that part Of the coast have
borne ON their backs the face Of Jap
anese warrior.
The face is there all right. In its way
it Is. indeed, the most remarkable thing
in nature, the visage represented on the
back Of the crab being not only most
human-like, but Enthusiastically oriental.
Furthermore, it is the face Of drowned
man. with open mouth and greatly
swollen features.
The idea peculiarly accepted in Japan
is that the Taira crab offers good evil
dence Of the TRANSPORTATION Of the souls
OF the dead Into the bodies Of lower
animals. Whether this notion be ac-
eepted or not, the phenomenon described
il extremely interesting. It may be

PROGRESS ON POSTAL SAVINGS.
Certificates Of Deposit Arc Adopted, In
stead Of passbooks.

Postmaster General Hitchcock has re-
ceiyed report from the committee on
organization OF the postal savings bank
system, in favor Of the use OF certificates
Of deposit, instead OF pass books, as
previously decided upon BY the commit
tee in framing its tentative plan. The
system proposed eontemplates mechan-
zeal method for keeping the records Of
the postal savings banks which would
render unnecessary great part OF the
bookkeeping that would be involved in
the passbooks system.
Under this plan. every deposition 81
amounts from 81 to 50 will be given
certificate punched in duplicate to show
the amount Of the deposit He will be
required to sign this certificate IN dnpli-
cate. the postmaster retaining one Of the
certificates. On the back Of this evi-
dence Of the deposit viii be engraved
interest computations, showing exactly
the amount OF interest due at The end
Of any interest period. For sums Of $40,
$50 and $50, there viii be separate GER
tifcates, also in duplicate. These GER
tifcates viii constitute the records OF
the postmasters.
Mr.. Hitchcock has approved the form
and engraving Of stamp Of deposit
for amount OF less than 81. This stamp
representing ten cents in value is exceed
