Rare shrimp In Local Waters.
For the Information of Paul Grosch I
would call attention 30 the fact that Char
ley Lining OF Newark. y. j., caught q
'nantls shrimp In ltari'Hn Bay in Septem-
Der. 1918. Liming's shrimp weighed half
a pound and was twelve inches long. He
has It nicely preserved In n bottle Of all
cohol.
The shrimp was caught on hook and
line, while fshing for weakfsh with she'd
der crab halt.
II was put away IN 4 cardboard boz with
some wet eelgrars and when taken out OF
the box at his store several hours later
Was almos, as lively as when II came out
OF the water.
This variety 10 sometimes known a. the
praying shrimp, on account OF tho way II
folds UP It's knees"
The shrimp in question struck out
vtclously with these so-called knees ana
pierced several thicknesses OF newspap er
with the sharp points. George S.lhon OF
!, Newark a week or ~ later caught one
somewhat smaller while fishing In the
same waters. CELMOH.
