The shops Of the lantern vendors In

cording to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The mode Of making horn lanterns Is
very ingenious; the horns are cut in
to remarkably thin slices, which, by
means of heat and pressure, are
Joined together and formed into vari-
Gus shapes-round, square, hexagon,

an hour glass.
It is usual for servants after sun

lanterns made either of horn or high

CRAB HAS STRANGE GROWTH
Process OF Replacing Shell Takes
Place Three Times During
III "lnfancy" Of Creature.

The crabs equivalent to the internal
bones Of animals is its tough outer
shell, which does not grow. The baby
crab Is forced to get rid Of this tough,
combining prison. So it breaks itself
loose internally and then splits its old
protecting home across the extreme
back ridge, creeping out in that way.
It is very delicate operation to with
draw the terrible claws and other
limbs rs these are bigger at the e1-
IRENE end, but these curious creatures
have the power Of Withdrawing the
blood into the body, and this greatly
reduces the bulk Of the appendages.
When the crab has thus escaped from
hts old shell he is quite soft and forms
a dainty meal for his enemies; his pin
GERS, too, are useless. So while his
new outer shell is hardening he has
to hide in some Granny in the rocks.
This new shell would obviously be the
same size as Tor even a tritle smaller
than the old If the crab merely kept
quiet, as he is quite unable to grow"
when once the shell has hardened.
To overcome this difficulty he swells
himself out by absorbing as much wa
ter as possible, and remains in this
artifcially distended condition till the
new shell hardens; then he at once
gets rid Of the useful water and leaves
himself plenty Of room for growth.
The young crab changes its shell in
this way about twenty times during
the shrst three years of its life. A

Mystery Of Rain Unexplained.

4 j b. - 4. Z.
I The mysteries Of rain are not yet
cleared away. The forces of electric
ity, Of magnetism, Of radio activity. of
ultra violet light and all the other
agencies which may collaborate in the
production Of q downpour of rain are
very obscure.
We know from Holy Writ that the
wind bloweth where 1t listeth. Moth
ing whatever can be more expressive
OF the capricious and lawless char
acter Of the wind. And wind and rain
come together; and the changes Of
Temperature make what we call
weather. In the South Sea Islands the
natives have no word which means
weather as the atmospheric condi-
lions never change. The vast ma
jority Of human beings are in contrast
and unending conflict with the wealth
er. Hence the universal interest In
its causes, whether the noise and the
smoke Of battle fields or the ashes
from volcanoee or from the changes
of temperature produced by vast con-
flagrations, such as are witnessed
when city is consumed in flames.

HERE BIRDS FIND SANCTUARY

Profitably Employed.

The most important, and by far the
largest in extent, Of our national
"refuges" for the preservation of wild
birds is vast area in the delta Of
the Yukon river, proclaimed as such
by an edict from the White House
just ten years ago.
1t Is an area approximately equal
to Massachusetts, and the most valu-
able feather species concerned are
wild geese and wild ducks, which breed
there in countless numbers.
There is found the proper home Of
Ahe emperor" goose, the "white-
fronted" goose, and many species Of
ducks which are sought as game in
other ATTITUDES.
The region is known as tundra

with many lakes, and Of no possible
usefulness for agriculture or any 9th.
er purpose. If, however, the wildfowl
are there safeguarded on their breed
ing grounds, 1t will be a permanent
source of game and food supply for
Alaska and the entire Pacific coast.
In order that this may come to pass,
it is necessary that the birds shall be
protected during the mating season
against the wholesale slaughter which
formerly was conducted by pot-hunt-
ers and alleged sportsmen. from year
to year-a method commonly adopted
being to drive the helpless creatures
into pens built for the purpose, where
they were ruthlessly murdered.
