crab Iocornotivee.

The Queerest locomotives are the types used in mining and called 'scrabs.'' Gliding into the black gal leries of coal mines and ha1ting at a creviee in the wall from which issues the distant ring of, pick and shovel, the crab lets out flexible tentacIe Ia steel cable) for perhaps 200 or 300 feet, drawing it back presently with car of coal in tow. Feeling into the holes, first on one side, then on the other, it moves along and never fails to secure its prey. Finally, with 8 dozen or more cars in it's wake, it proceeds to the shaft or outlet and delivers it's booty to the crusher.
 These crabs operate by trolley con ductors. They run through the main passages of the mine. Each crab is furnished with an electrically operated drum, on which are carried 200 or 300 feet of steel cable. This is hauled into the side passages or drifts by a man, who couples the end to a loaded car, then gives signal, and the crab does the rest-George Frederick Stratton in St. Nicholas.

The second annual Poultry and
Pigeon show Of the Sumter County
Poultry and Pigeon Association will
close tonight. after a most success
ful show from the exhibition stand
point. 1t will not be a successful
show however. from a financial stand
point. for the attendance has been
disappointingly small and merely a
nominal sum has been taken in from
admittances.
The birds exhibited are the best in
the state and the show Is as good as
any which has been held in the State
IN recent years, but 1t seems that tho
people Of Sumter are not interested
In chickens. for besides the exhibit
tors. there have hardly been over
twenty-five people who have visited
the show. The majority of those
who went to see the birds were from
the county, outside Of the city, and
from neighboring towns.
