Monster Spider Crabs. “I have collected specimens of crabs In all parts of the world,” said a nat- uralist, “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 allve, it weighed about seventy-five pounds. One of the oddest things about these creatures is their ability to assume a disgulse. This feat they are able to perform owing to the flexi- bility 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 sea- weeds. After first putting these to thelr months, which contain a glutinous sallva, they place them on the sur- 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 indis- tinguishable from the materials com- mon to the bottom of the sea. While crawling along it seems as though a portion of the ocean bed was in mo- tion, so close is the resemblance.” Forests of Stone. 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 stand- ing just as they were when clothed ‘with green foliage thousands of years ago. The Little Colorado river, in Ari- zona, has long been famous as a local- ity for such finds. At one place more than 1,500 cords of solid stome, 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. Geol- oglsts 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 beau- tiful tints. He Wins the Palm, Many stories haye been told of mean men, such as he who used a wart for & 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. geems 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 forbldding al- most every conceivable privilege to those not guests of the place. There ‘Wwas absolutely no chance for the cas- ual 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 1s for the use of the guests of the hotel only.”—Success Magazine. Profligate Spendthrifts, The wealth of many of the anclent Romans was reckoned far into the millions. Mark Antony during his somewhat qheckered career squander- ed no less than $785,000,000, and Ti- berlus 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 sup- per. Horace tells us that Pegellus, a singer, could in"five days spend $40,- 000, and Clodlus on a small wager swallowed a pear! worth nearly $40,- 000. The estate of Crassus was valued at $8,400,000. Lucullus dined at the rate of $8,000 a meal for several weeks. Lentulus was worth not less than six- teen millions, and Aplcus squandered nearly five millions of dollars in a few ‘weeks, Irritating Americanisms. One of the most Irritating of Amer-* fcanisms is the use of “limb” for “branch.” “Limb” for “leg” has al- ways 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 1,800 years old, but how old is the English ver- sion 7—London Chronicle, Must Be Good. Plaisantin offered in payment of a bill a gold plece which had a suspl- clous ring. “Here, you've given me one of those false coing that the coun- terfeiters have just been arrested for making,” said the merchant. “Impos- sible,” answered Plalsantin. “It Is dat- ed 1863.

Compromise. *1 have a little granddaughter,” sald 2 senator, “who is very fond of ani- mals, especially dogs. Her mother has taught her to pronounce the word until It sounds like dahg. Her father sticks to “the good old fashioned dawg, 8o the child has compromised, and now every canine is a dahg-dawg.” Sorrniiw of a Humorist, “This thiug of being a humorist is about the saddest thing I know,” sigh- ed Slmeon Ford. “An ordinary person can have his moods and bumors as he i pleases, but I must always be on the | job. I am constantly being invited out, not because I'm liked for myself alone - or because of my manly beauty. but because I am cxpected to entertain the assemblage.

Have you ever noticed that every chambermald who has been taking care of the hdy und fepthers for a number of years Is usually devoid of a few teeth of the upper “cade?’ Vet- eran chambermalds can’ seldom show a full set of upper teeth. ‘The absence of the ivories is explained 'as follows by a’'downtown dentist: “The’ teeth of the maids which I'replace with arti- ficlal ones dre plllowcase ‘teeth.
