Fifteen years or 80 ago. when the
College OF Physicians and Surgeons
was the pride of Keokuk and medi-
cal college drawing students from all
over the country, the new freshman
class included tall, black haired,
bright eyed, soft voiced, gentlemanly
man who quietly waited in with the
other new men.
But by the time he had completed
his registration formalities, the secre
tary Of the college. with strong
leaning toward the study Of men, was
intensely interested in this new re-
cruit to the college classes.
In fact, the secretary was so much
interested that he at once sought
more information about the new stu
dent. But nobody knew anything
about him. The new man talked little,
kept out Of groups Of students, and
was SO polite that no information
about himself was current among the
students who usually knew all about
one another In twenty-four hours.
But the secretary insisted that that
young man was the most remarkable
person he had ever seen with a
strength OF character that was hercu-
lean and fixedness Of purpose that
moves whole mountain ranges. with
also determination to have his rights
that makes martyrs or heroes The
college officer determined to get ac-
quainted with that remarkable stu
dent.

An hour later the Chicago papers
arrived with big. black headlines that
illuminated the case of the mysterious
student thoroughly. The students
name was Hatfield, as OF course the
secretary knew, but the rest was not
suspected.
The papers told how the celebrated
Hatfield-McCoy feud in the Kentucky
mountains had broken out aflame with
the resulting death in one hour of
half a dozen on each side. That skir

cannot fail to be of considerable use
to those concerned in biological re-
search.
In the course Of an exhaustive re-
port he stated that between July and
September, 1910 nearly two thousand
crabs were captured and after being
labeled were again set free along the
Norfolk and Lincolnshire coasts. The
crabs had recently cast their shells,
and new ones were then in process
of hardening.
Rewards were paid to fishermen
upon returning the crabs when recap
tured. They were returned to the sea
at varying distances from the shore.
and up to the present q per cent OF
the labeled crustaceans had been re-
captured and full data tabulated.
With regard to the Norfolk crabs
liberated in the places from which
they were originally obtained, fifty
two we're recaptured within one mile
of their first home. but one travelled
as far as Marlborough Head, dis
lance of ninety-eight statute miles.
Nearly three hundred had travelled
only three or four miles from where
they were originally taken.
