MAKES ITS OWN WIG.

There is a small crab found upon
the English coast that is SO afraid
of his enemies that he has found out
or has perhaps been taught, a clever
way to hide himself. The writer once
saw one Of these crabs which was
kept as a pet, and he was lucky
enough to visit him when he was In
the very act of making his wig. The
crab first tore OF a piece of green
ribbon-like seaweed with his pincers
and put one end in his mouth.
This he sucked and nibbled and
moistened with some kind of glue
that hardens under water, and then
he pressed the sticky end upon his
back BY and by his broad back was
covered with a regular green and
waving wig so that as he crawle6
about he looked like bunch of sea
weed in gentle motion. We must
suppose that he makes a very sweet
mouthful for a hungry fish, and thai
he makes the wig to preserve him
from being gobbled up. From time
to time the wig requires repairing
of course.
