BUSY STREET CORNER SAFEST
Logical Reason Why There Are Few
Accidents Where the Traffic
Is the Heaviest.

"You must have lots of accidents
here" said friend Of Traffic Com
missioner Harrlss the other day as
they were passing one of the most
congested corners Of the city. I'm
not surprised either" he added as he
saw large touring car come sud
denly to halt less than half foot
from passing pedestrian.
The commissioner shook his head.
That's where you're wrong he re-
piled. Not only are there not more
but there are actually less accidents
here in proportion to the amount Of
traffic that goes by than almost amy
other place in New York. If you'll
think minute you'll see the reason
for it, too. Where the street is more
or less quiet and deserted person
crossing the road is less apt to look
for approaching vehicles. Where they
are always passing, however, he is al
ways on the lookout. The theory
works both ways. While the pedes
trian keeps a close watch on the
stream OF traffic. the automobile
driver also keeps tab on the con.
tlnous file OF pedestrians in his way
On comparatively quiet street both
pedestrians and cars are exceptions
and accidents are bound to occur

NOT EASY TO CRIPPLE CRAB
Nature Has Provided That Lost Leg
or Claw May Be Replaced in
Short Time.

For you yourself, sir, should be
as old as am, if Hike crab you

true, bur a crab can also walk for
ward and sideways At the bottom
Of warm salt water, whore he likes
to take his leisure, the crab walks
slowly about on the tips of the sec
ond, third and fourth pair Of legs, and
then as YOU may see, he walks back
ward, forward and sideways, though
he seems to'prefer The sidcwlse gait.
Generally he folds his heavy claws, or
pincers, and works his paddles with
lazy sculling motion to assist him on
his walk.
One Of the many remarkable things
about the crab is his ability to throw
off or drop his legs and claws and
grow them again The scientists call
this ",autotomy,' or ''the automatic
throwing off Of appendages Of the
body and then renewing them" II
q crab is seized by leg or claw In
the water II often throws it off and
escapes, and Mt the place where he
breaks OFF his own leg nature has fur.

vents excessive bleeding. This phe-

ceans, of which the crab is one.
AS IN example of "autotomy" tho
United States bureau of fisheries has
the record Of crab which was kept
under observation in small cage
beneath salt water When put in>the
cage the crab had lost its left claw.
Day by day new claw grew and the
rate Of growth can be had from the
fisheries bureau. At the end of 81
days the left claw had been restored
and was the same size as the right.

Gratitude in STRANGE carh.

Bishop w r. Lambuth in his inter

of native Of India whose wife went
for treatment to mission hospital.
On her return he wrote as follows to
the woman physician in charge OF the
hospital.
"Dear She: Ny wife has returned
from your hospital cured. Provided
males are allowed in your bungalow,
I would like TO do you the honor Of
presenting r3yself there this afternoon.
But I win Not try to repay you;
vengeance beltngeth to God"
Another, whose wife did not sur
vIye. expressed himself thus:
Dear and Fair Madam: | have
much pleasure to inform You that my
dearly unfortunate wife will be no
longer under your kind treatment, she
having left this world for the other on
the night of the 9th ultimo. For
your own help IN this matter shall

Commander Gabrielle d'Annunzlo has

some new addition to the Italian yo-
cabulary.
The former dictator Of Fume is In

for new name for cognac. He said;
"There is but one name for cog
nae and that is arzente,' which signi-
fes that 1t is the very force Of the
Wine.
He inquired how the people Of Flor

the name Of Florence be changed from
