The Worlds LARGEST Crab.

The gigantic japanese crab, meas
nring twelve feet. is probably the
largest crastaeean in the world. II
is q type OF the spider crab, which
innabits the waters Of the group Of
islands forming the empire Of ia
pan. The body portion is the size
of half bnshcl measure, while its
two great arms, or ',feelcrs," could
easily enclrclc the figure Of man.
Its eight arms. or legs, resemble
huge bamboo POLES and are ex-
trcmely elastic, and if strung into
one line they would reach to the
top of four story apartment
building One OF the extraordinary
peculiaritles Of this crab is the fac
ulty of assuming disguise by af-
fixing pieces Of seaweed and sponges
to the body.

gun tests at Indian Head ere the army is ready
to try out the first of it's new heavyhitters at
Sandy Hook. N. J.
For the purpose of comparative tests the
war department is constructing one of the five
14-inch guns above mentioned wire-wound
piece, but the other four are built up in ac-
cordance with the usual plan of concentric
cylinders assembled by shrnkage. This is the
practice likewise in the case of the new naval
gun. The army is already firmly committed
to the 14-inch gun and congress has authorized
the construction of four such weapons in addi-
ton to the five already mentioned, but work
on them has not been commenced.
1t is the claim of Brig Gen. William Gro
zier, the very progressive chief Of ordnance of
the United States army, that the 14nch gun
is vastly superior to the 12-inch gun which it
is displacng for the defense of wide channels
and harbors where the highest power is re-
quired. He claims that the army's new Ia
inch guns will be capable of firing greater
number of rounds than the Pinch guns, mas
much the same striking force can be i'm
parted to the projectile with less velocity.
Rear Admiral N. e. Mason, chief of ordnance
of the navy, who has personal supervision over
the construction of the first 14-inch gun for
the navy, has not yet come out so unquali-
fedly in favor of the heavier ordnance has
his confrere of the army, but Admiral Masons
verdict after the tests will be awaited with
great interest, for there is no officer in the
service more thoroughly conversant with the
ordnance requirements of the navy.
During the greater portion of his naval
reer Admiral Mason has specialized in ord
nance work. native of Pennsylvania and a
member of the graduating class of 1869 at the
United States naval academy the young off,
Ger, following varied experience in sea
vice in all parts of the world, was in 1884 de-
tailed for ordnance work at the navy yard at
Washington. After two years of this service
he was given post in the bureau OF ordnance,

"QUANTITY, DUAL.
iTY AND PRICE"
THE THREE ESSENTIALS THAT
ARE GIVING WESTERN CANADA
Greater Impulse Than Ever This Year.

The reports from the grain fields OF
Central Canada, (Which comprises the
Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan
and Alberta) are to hand The year
1909 has not only kept pace with pre-
vious years In proving that this por-
ton of the Continent is capable of
producing a splendid yield of all the
smaller grains, but it has thoroughly
outstripped previous seasons. There
is quantity, quality and price and from
all parts of an area of about 100000
square miles there comes the strong
refrain of contentment and satisfaS-
ton. In the distribution of the con-
ditions causing 1t no district has been
overlooked.
Various estimates of the total yield
of wheat for the country have been
made, but it is not the vast total that
influences the general reader SO much
as what has been done individually.
The grand total-say 100 million BUSH
els-may have it's effect on the grain
price of the world; it may be interest
ing to know that in the worlds mar
kets the wheat crop of Canada has
suddenly broken upon the trading
boards, and with the Argentine, and
with Russia and India, is now fac
tor in the making Of prices. If so to-
day, what will be its effect five or ten
years from now, when, instead Of
there being seven million acres under
crop with a total yield of 125 or $50
million bushels, there will be from IL
TO 80 million acres in wheat with a
yield of from 1926 to 600 million BUSH
els. When it is considered that the
largest yield in the United States bu5
slightly exceeded 700 million busheA
the greatness of these figures may 81
understood. Well, such is a safe fore
cast, for Canada has the land and 1t
has the SOIL Even today the Prov
ince of Saskatchewan, one of the three
great wheat growing provinces of Cam
ada, with 100000 acres under wheat,
produces nearly 80 million bushels, or
upwards of one-tenth of the greatest
yield of the United States. And Sas-
katchewan is yet only in the begin
ming Of its development. AS Lord
Grey recently pointed out in speaking
on this very subject, this years crop
does not represent one-tenth of the
soil equally fertile that is yet to be
brought under the plough.
Individually, reports are to hand
of yields of twenty-five, thirty and
thirty-fve bushels to the acre. Scores
of yields are reported of forty and
some as high as sixty bushels. The
farmer, who takes care of his soil.
who gets his seed-bed ready early, Is
certain of splendid crop.
The news of the magnificent crop
yield throughout the Canadian West
will be pleasing to the friends of the
thousands of Americans who are reSf
dents in that country and who E
vastly instrumental in the assista 40
they are rendering to let the woits
know its capabilities.
