stroked his long brown beard with
the other, and then in the half
reproving tone which Sunday
school teacher might have used to a
wayward child, he began to tell me
what the consequences would be If l
persisted in my present conduct.
They would be serious. The law
was very clear on marital rights. If
wife refused to live with her hus-
band, except on a plea of cruelty or
something equally plausible, he could
apply to the court and compel her to
do so: and if she declined. il she
removed herself from his abode, or
having removed, refused to return,
the court might punish her-it might
even imprison her.

"H0MING INSTINCT" IN CRABS
Existence of 1t Is Recognized, But
Scientists Admit That 1t
Puzzles Them.

Noted naturalists of Great Britain
have recently discovered the extraor-
binary and surprising faculty in GER
tain crabs to find their way back al
most unbelievable distances to their
birthplace and original feeding
grounds. Sir Isaac Newton once de-
clared that with all his grand discov-
cries he was nothing but a child pick
ing sea shells from the beach by the
great ocean of truth. The students of
animal behavior, such as Professors
Jennings, Mast, Watson and others,
since this discovery Of 'homing in
stinct' in crabs, are more convinced
than ever of Newton's wisdom.
The scientific accounts of the crabs
walk" describes many of them, and in
particular male and female of these
creatures, caught at Yorkshire, Eng
land, and transported to Skegness in
Lincolnshire, which crawled all the
way back to exactly the place they
had left.
Traps had been set in the place
where they were originally captured
and the shellfish experts awaited with
great skepticism the results of the IN
usual experiment.
All investigations of how and why
crabs migrate back to their home, as
in the case of pigeons, have proved so
far fruitless.

ANOTHER CHANCE TO MAKE
GOOD.

TN the state of New Jersey Col. Ed.
b ward A. Stevens, commissioner of
a public works, is trying an expert
ment with convict camp, which
hasn't even fence around it. Thirty
prisoners were sent there from the
over-crowded Trenton prison, to work
on the highways; and the idea is not
only to improve the roads but to i'm.
prove the prisoners and to help solve
the prison problem.
The workers have named it the
Don't Worry Club" while it is known
officially as State Camp No. l. The
word convict and the idea of pris-
oners are eliminated everywhere.
There are no cells, and although there
are several guards, they mingle with
the men in friendly intercourse. When
their days labor is finished they enjoy
baseball, music or any other healthful
amusement.
The men are selected on merit from
the state prison, and there are hun
dreds of inmates of Trenton who want
