Monster Spider Crab*. "* ' “I have collected specimens of crabs In a 1 parts of the world,” said a naturalist. ‘‘but I shall never forget the pleasure I experienced In securing a monstrous specimen of the Japanese spider crab, the largest ever found. The combined length of the feeding arms of this monster was more than twelve feet, while the body portion was about twenty inches across. When alive, it weighed about seventy-five pounds. One of the oddest things about the** creatures Is their ability to assume a disguise. This feat they are able to perform ewing to the flexibility of their pinchers and to the hooked hairs and spines with which their numerous arms are studded. By means of their pinchers they tear off small fragments of sponges and seaweeds. After first putting these to ' their months, which contain a glutinous saliva, they place them on the sur--1 face of their limbs and bodies by sticking them fast with a rubbing movement By this method the crab succeeds In completely changing its appearance and rendering itself indistinguishable from the materials common to the bottom of the sea. While crawling along it seems as though a portion of the ocean bed was in motion, so close is the resemblance.” Forests of Sto»e. Stone forests are found in various parts of the world. In many cases they are hardened by some peculiarity of the atmosphere and are found standing just as they were when clothed with green foliage thousands of years ago. The Little Colorado river, in Arizona. has long been famous as a locality for such finds. At one place more than 1.500 cords of solid stone, tree trunks, sections, limbs and logs, were found by the government surveyors. Most of them were silicified, many seven to ten feet in diameter and from twenty to eighty feet in height. Geologists say that the petrified trees of the Little Colorado were once covered with marl over 1.000 feet in depth. Some of the trees have been changed to jasper and have assumed various hues; others resemble opal, and when broken open the core is often found lined with crystals of the most beautiful tints. He Wins the Palm. Many stories have been told of mean men, such as he who used a wart for a collar button and he whose birthday gift to his son consisted in washing the windows so that the lad might watch the cars go by. This man. however, seems to have won the palm. There was an extremely mean man in New Hampshire who was the proprietor of a hotel. By his direction rules were posted in the hostelry forbidding almost every conceivable privilege to those not guests of the place. There was absolutely no chance for the casual loafer to get newspapers, pens. ink. stationery, etc. There were not even free seats in the office. One day he chanced to observe a chronic loafer gazing at the old clock that hung on the wall. The next day a sign was placed over the clock. It read. "This clock Is for the use of the guests of the hotel only.”—Success Magaaine. Proftlwata Spend*hrlrts. The wealth of many of the ancient Romans was reckoned far into the millions. Mark Antony during his somewhat checkered career squandered no less than $735,000,000. and Tiberius left at his death over eighteen millions, which Caligula spent in less than a year. Records show that this spendthrift paid $150,000 for one supper. Horace tells us that Pegellus. a singer, could in five days spend $40.000, and Clodins on a small wager swallowed a pearl worth nearly $40.000. The estate of Crassus was rained at $8,400,000. Luculius dined at the rate of SB,OOO • meal for several weeks. Lentulus was worth not less than sixteen millions, and A plena squandered nearly five millions of dollars in a few weeks. , Irvltatlas Amerleaalsma. One of the most Irritating of Americanisms is the use of "limb” for "branch.” "Limb" for "leg” has al way* been accepted as an American prudery, but what is the matter with “branch?” Careful Anglophile writers are beginning now to reintroduce this latter word, but "limb" has hitherto been the transatlantic word with all authors. If it is also old English we shall not mind so much, but is it? The joke of the verse is at least 1.300 years old. but how old is the English version?- London Chronicle. Mn«< Be Gwd.

A QUESTION OF HEREDITY, jl (Original] At one of those British colonies where criminals were sent for a term of penal servitude two men. Professor Dixon and Dr. Hardeman, were dis cussing problems of heredity which fell continually under their observa tio*. Professor Dixon was speaking. “I do not admit your claim, doctor, that environment has an equal effect with heredity. At least, to change a hereditary criminal by environment we must begin in the earliest childhood and then it will not in all cases be poa Bible to eradicate the hereditary taint” “You are wrong, professor. I will take a middle aged criminal, remove him from temptation. Impress him with the hetnousness of crime and make a good citizen of him." "Such impression is at times Impossible. I once endeavored to reform a man who had tried to kill his father. He told me that his fathei had killed his grandfather and the grandfather had tried to kill the greatgrandfather. Ten years after the first attempt and when I believed 1 had changed him. my man made a second attempt" “And I can cite a case per contra right here tn this penal settlement Peter Hull and Eliza Wurts were serv Ing life sentences here. Peter was twenty-two when he came here, and Eliza was twenty. They bad lived at home tn the very worst part of London. From childhood they bad been accustomed to crime. It was foreordained that they should become criminals, but it was not foreordained that they should remain such, any more than it is foreordained that a poisonous berry shall always remain poisonous. It may be cultivated, grafted, transplanted. till it is sweet and of delicious flavor. “So it has been with Peter and Eliza. They have not had a field needed for an experimental case, but they have had sufficient to produce a marked change. Transplanted to this colony, they were removed from their homes in the slums. Then both were given tickets of leave. They went out of prison each to live in a little home, to breathe the pure air of heaven, to thrive in the warm sunshine. A vegetable garden for each put forth green sprouts. Fruit trees and flowers budded. Within the windows dainty white curtains gave a cheery look to each house, and the furniture. if of wain manufacture, was always kept varnished. “Peter could not have done ail this had it not been for the help of Elixa. It was she at least who made the curtains for him and showed him how to hang them. It was she who made a white valance for his bed. He furnished the material from which she made him sheets, pillowcases, napkins. In short she did all those things that women know how to do. and Peter did many things for her. He spaded her garden, repaired her bouse an 1 her furniture and often made her presents of things she needed and could not afford to buy, for. white sbe could make money go further than he. she could not make it as easily. “There came the little god and thispered in Peter's ear: ‘United you can both do better. You can be more free to make money with Eliza at home to take care of your bouse, mend your clothes and have your meais ready for you when you come nome. There will be more money, and it will be applied to better advantage.' This was not all th* god whispered. Peter thought It was. but it was not The boy spoke things both to Peter and to Eliza which bad no reference to what was practical Eliza’s ear was more attuned to them. At any rate, sbe heard them, and they appealed to her. “Peter went to her and told her what be had been thinking. Sbe waited to hear those spiritual words that the little god had spoken to her. They did not come, but she knew by Peter’s manner that be felt their influence. They went to a priest and asked Lim to marry them. “ 'Were you married before coming here?’ he asked of Peter. “ Tes.’ “ ‘And your wife is deadT -Tea’ “ 'Are you sure? “‘I should be; I was sent here for killing her.’ "The priest turned, walked to a win dow. looked out. pandering, then re turned to the eouple “ ‘And you?’ to the woman. ‘You are willing to marry a man who has ki.led his wifeF “‘I am.’ “ ‘Do you not fear to live with such a man? “ 'He has not been worse than I.' “‘What were you sent here forf " ‘Killing my husband.’ “Again the priest walked away, powdered and returned. “‘Well.’ be «a:d. 'lf you two are willing to marry each other. I see no rea son why I should not marry you.’ “And he did. That was twenty years ago. Mrs Hull is now fifty years old. and her busband is fifty-two. They are as much respected as any couple who have the brand of farmer criminality upon them.” Six months later the colony was shocked by the annonn ement that Mr and Mrs. Hull had killed each other. “Professor." said Dr. Hardeman when the two met again, “I have been con verted to the theory that heredity is al! powerful." “That ha* nothing to do with our wark In the reformation of criminate We must go on working at the environ meat and watt patiently for hereditary improvement, which require* genera Won* to produce” .
