Yesterday's temperature Giant Lobster Caught. ‘When Capt. Tibbetts of Swampscott telephoned to his city he had captured the real grandfather lobster of the coast, one 371% inches in length d weighing 19 pounds, there was sur. prise expressed at the magnitude of the story, no one ever having heard of & lobster of that size, but the doughty eaptain brought in the creature, had it measured, weighed and placed on exhibition, thus establishing his repu- tation for veracity and for luck in fishing. The thickness of the body of the lobster was more than five inches, and Capt. Tibbetts' lobster was the sensation of the early season, winner over all lobsters known in fact and tradition along the coast. Its age is unknown, old salts being far apart in their estimates, hut the claim is made that the lobster had been sport- ing about the waters for more than 50 years. —_— The new telephone-telegraph -cable between England and the Netherlands will be 100 miles long and weigh 1,700 metric tons.
