much on the surface as the veins.
Wherever you can find pulse beat
there you have an artery. The pulse

on the thumb side of the wrist. The
temple artery can also be found very
easily. 1t is sometimes very promi-
nent.

TRAVEL IN ARMY FORMATION
Observer Has Told of Peculiar Aab-
it's of Crabs Found in Philip
pine Islands.

On some of the sand-fats of the
Philippine islands, uncovered at low
tide, there are often to be seen huge
numbers of the grayish-blue crabs
called Myctiris The body has the
shape and size of a cherry, and the
legs are set close. DR.. r. p Cowles
has given us a lovely picture of the
ways of these creatures.
They move about like diminutive
armies, though the individuals seem
to be scrambling along rather awk-
wardly.
But what is most remarkable is
their power of intrenching themselves
with extraordinary rapidity. At one
moment there are tens of thousands
on the sands, the next moment there
are none.
BY approaching very slowly and
carefully, Doctor Cowles was able to
see what happened When he got
near enough and stamped with his
foot, every crab dug into the sand
with the legs on one side, and at the
same time rotated its body, so that
1t sank out of sight in a spiral.
In two or three seconds the army
had buried itself After few minutes,
II the sand was not shaken, they be-
gan to dig themselves out again and,
reforming their ranks, resumed their
march.

MAY R ROAD
TO GIVE SERVICE

Council Bluffs, Jan. 25.-Th case of
Robert Abeles, owner Of the Atlantic
Southern railroad, which runs from
Atlantic, to Villisca, against the Iowa
state railway commissioners to pre-.
vent the enforcement of an order to
operate the road, is scheduled to be
heard in the federal district court
here today.
This road was largely built by farm
ers and business men residents along
its line. s..
The Iowa railway commissioners
last September ordered the company
to resume train service on the south.
ern portion Of the road and Abeles
appealed to the federal court for an
order restraining the commission from
enforcing it's order on the ground that
there was not business enough to
justify the operation.
Residents claim Aebeles' contention
was not we'll founded.
