In its structure the crab closely
and lobster. 1t differs from these
in that it's abdomen is very small
and 1t carries it folded under its
chest or thorax. The crab resem-
bles the crawfish and the lobster
in having f~eelers, eye-stalks, jaws,
five pairs Of walking legs and a
shell or carapace.
Crabs vary in size from the min
ute "pea-crab," which lives within
the shell of the oyster and the nus
sci. to the giant spider crab" Of
Japan, which often has a body
inches across and sometimes meas
ures ten feet from tip to tip Of its
claws. In the hermit crab,' which
lives in the cast-off shell Of a sea
snail or similar shellfsh, the body
has become greatly reduced in size
because of its mode Of life. and the
chelae or claws have become very
large. There are forms in which
the first pair of legs r many times
bigger and heavier than the rest
of the body, and forms In which
the body is very large in proportion
to the size Of it's legs.
Most crabs live in the sea and
even land crabs visit the sea to lay
their eggs, so that the young may
pass the early stages of their lives

able to live either on land or
water and yet other forms live in
fresh water only. Water inhabiting
crabs breathe by means Of gills, but
land crabs possess organs correspond
ing to lungs, which carried under
the carapace OF body shell In the
cavities In which the gills are found
in water crabs.
Most crabs move about by walking
crawling in a peculiar sidelong
fashion. A few forms possess flat
paddle-like legs, and r able to
swim. Some crabs feed on vegetable
matter; others on smaller living an
imals; but most act as scavengers
and devour dead or decaying organ
isms.
Spider crabs are usually coverd
with dense growths Of seweed and
sponges, which have been planted
by the crab itself, and which form
an effective disguise
The hermit crab Is a very interest
ing form In It's early stages IT de
velops much like other saltwater

Swiss painter, Otto Pilny, which ex-
perts believe to be the solution of
this difficult problem,
Pliny approached the subject from
a purely optic angle. He construct

1t consists of a system Of lenses and
so-called color filters, each particu-
larly sensitive to a special color.
These lenses and filters are arranged
so that pictures taken with such a
camera, if projected on the screen,
appear in natural colors.
Pliny's apparatus is only six inches
long and can be attached to regular
camera lenses like a telescope.

Land crabs are found In tropical

are the home of the "cocoanut crab"
which is able to climb the cocoanut
palm and gather its fruit. Certain
species found I'm the West Indian
islands generally live two or three
miles from the sea. They are re-
markable for their annual spring mi
grations TO the sea, in which the
females lay their eggs. When the
migratory instinct seizes them they

area of about forty yards wide and

for food. The most important edible

shell crabs are merely ordinary crabs
which have shed their outgrown
shells, as is their habit. and whose
new skin has not yet hardened to a
