IIe belongs to the sixth division of animal life, which contains more tLan four-fifths of the whole of the living beings on our .glebe, and which includes insect -life, wasps, bees, and sats, I•Iis body consistsof a head, thorax, and a cldarly segmented abdomen. His color is very dark green or nearly. black all over—his color is not red until he is boiled. One of his great claws is always.a good deal larger and stouter than the other. The larger claw is a weapon with which he fights, while the :smaller one is an, anchor, with which he clings to' the weeds on the rocks at the bottom of the sea, Oneof the largest known specimens has weighed mono than twenty-three pounds. When the lobster swims, he stretches hisbody out, and then doubles it suddenly up: As he does, so, the plates ofthe tail spread 'out and form a kind of very broad ' and powerfulerful oar, which strikes the water with such force as to drive the animal swiftly backwards. With a single stroke of his tail a lobster can dart to a distance of forty or fifty feet, and rso q ifkly that even the swiftest s Could 'scarcely overtake him. When the lobster swims forward, he uses five pairs of odd little organs underneath the tail, which we call "swimmerets." They spring from either side of the soft hinges Sy which the joints. of the tail are fastened to- gether, and each consists of two thin oval plates ringed with long hairs. Each swimmeret really consists of two tiny paddles, and by waving them to and fro the lobster manages to travel along with some little speed. The mother -lobster glues her eggs to the hairs with which the switmerets are fringed, where they remain until they are. hatched. At first their young hold to the swimmerets threads by , later they cling by means of pinces, and after some days become indepen- dent. The lobsters and crabs straggle hard fer the livelihood. They spare scarcely any ceature of the sea of moderate size, whether dead or living. Theycare but little for 'lost limbs, for these will grow again; and when wounded, so that they may not bleed to death, they throw off the shattered limb at the next joint, where a new skin quickly forms. One lobster will produce 20,000 eggs, which she will carry patiently for .six months under her abdomen, 1astexed together bygluey threads. Even after she has broken .open the eggs by the movement of her tail, and released the baby lobsters, she will carry them till their coat is hard and firm, and only then will she leave them to wander alone. The crab and the prawn, on the contrary, turn their lit- tle ones out at once to swim as scarce- ly visible specks in the open sea, where they feed and grow till their strange changes of shape are worked out. All the crustacea eat dead animal food; consequently they are hseful in keeping water free from dead ma- terial. aterial. In order to increase tbe num- ber . by artificial propagation, some States have ; assed laws forbidding the catching of immatrre lobsters, and lobsters with eggs. Farms and Firms Philadelphia Ledger: There is a wealth of significance in Mr. Hyde's definition of agriculture as "a far- flung industry ahraacterized by small units." in his public addresses Mr. Hoover has frequently pointed out the undesirability, if it were possible, of eliminating the one -family farms, even though he fully recognzes the rapid progress of "power -farming" and "mass production" in agriculture. "You cannot merge 6,000,000 farms," says Mr. Hyde. But to -day nearly 2,- 000,000 cotton farmers "compete for the markets of the United States and the world," corn is produced on near- ly 5,000,000 farms ''and all of these farms ser in competition with each other." No manufacturing industry could flourish under such conditions. Mr, Hyde invited his hearers to im- agine the manufacture of motor vehicles by 2,000,000 small, independ- ent firms, with the resultant high costs, price -cutting and financial dis- tress. try( ooas 4k.044,0 • Communism in Toronto Toronto Globe (Lib.): Persistence of the Toronto Communists in defying the police can have but one ultimate result, and it will not be the winning of a martyr's crown by those who preach revolution, except in the opinion of the Communists them- selves. The British eyetem of gov- ernment is founded on observance of law and order, by choice of the Bri- tish people who have delegated to the courts and the police the task of pre- serving it. Proponents of the Sovie,tI' system and methods mush expect a hard road, growing harder until they I see the futility of .trying to upset the best form of government yet devised.

Con.) : Let us hope that the lesson of the "Vestris" will be learned, despite the conplacent excuse of over -zealous patriots, and that hereafter ships, particularly pas- senger ships, on the British register will in fact as well as in appearance be subject to British regulations. As Britishers we have a faith in our- selves and in administration of British laws that we have not in foreigners or foreign law administration, and it is small comfort that British ships sail- ing between United States fortsand other foreign ports are inspected sole- ly by American officials and agents. The blame for the overloading of the Vetris may belong directly to inspec- tors and agents in the port of New York but back of everything are 'the British register and British honor. HELPERS The rules demands no impossibili- ties; but it does demand that every sphere, however humble, 'shall be filled with divine endeavors.

Extremists Both "It is the sorry fate of every hu- man institution to be finally corrupt- ed by aourious conspiracy between its critics and its friends," says Rein- hold Niebuhr. Critics are apt to see only the weaknesses of an institution, and its friends are always blind to its short- comings and fallings. The great temptation of. the critics is to sur- render to a whole -loaf -or -none philo- sophy, where .as that of the loyalist to to surrender to a my -country -right. or -wrong -love -Is -blind hilosophy. The p loyalist loathes the critics who con- demns the institution that boldsthe loyalit's devotion. On the other hand, the critics has only contempt for the loyalist who blindly clings to the institution that has aroused the critic's doubt. The critic who has no capacity for loyalty and Els loyalist who has no ca- pacity for criticism re poles apart, yet they unconsciously join in a danr geroue partnership. It is difficult to say which most menaces the In- stitution. Perhaps one is as bad an influence as the other. Consider the community and its boosters and knockers. It needs both, and is fortunate if its citizens are loyally critical Those who find nothing wrong or lacking in their city or town will never be the in- spiration for progress. The critic may show the way to Improvement, but lackinga sense of loyalty, he in, variably deserts the community in- stead of remaining to help make it bet- ter.—Port Arthur Newe•Chroniele. THE PAST It is because so mach Of the past still exists in our lives that it is so dear to ue. These are compensations for the loss of youth and fresh im• pressions; and one learns little by little that a thing is not over because it is not happening with noise and shape or outward sign; its roots are 1 nous' hearts; and every now and then they send forth n shot which blossoms and bears fruits still.— Anne Ritchie.

Con.) : (In furtherance of its campaign for the pasteurization of milk, the Journal quotes extensively from an editorial in The Montreal Star, commenting on the 'report of the city bacteriologist.)

Pies '•A HOUSEHOLD NAME IN 5G COUNTRIES'' Bow Versus Golf Clu°a William Thomson, well-known west- ern golf professional, and Chief Sit- ting Eagle, of the Stonies, differed as to which could beat the other at golf, each armed with his chosen weapon. Sitting Eagle took his trusty bow and arrow; Thomson re- lied on his golf clubs. At the end of a nine -hole try out the Chief was four up on the pro. His target was of course larger than Thomson's ob- jective and he could and did "hole out" from long range. The contest was staged over one-half of the championship course where the com- petition for .tbe Prince of Wales Trophy will be staged in the "Cana- dian Golfer" tour of Canada, starting from Toronto August 12.

For combiations of emeralds and diamonds one would recommend Mauboussin, who possesses the fa- mous 24 -carat stone given to Jose- phine by Napoleon. For pearls and diamonds in their richest simplicity, it is difficult to surpass the execu- tions of Boncheron. The exhibits tf Chaumet, G. Pouquet and Laclocbe were also of very high standard. Jewelery, and Art The impression conveyed by so many flawless stones in such varied and brilliant groupings was that any order given to any of these houses could be carried out, whether per- taining to ring, bracelet, necklace or earring. Incidentally, few earrings were shown, and the bracelets seem- ed to have little vogue. Tho neck- laces were Lorgeous affairs in many instances. Some wert developed into inconspicuous strings and very elaborate pendants ,formed el show- ers of pearls, or masses Of diamonds, or onyx and diamond ensembles. Among the rings, however, perhaps the fantasy of the artists was carried to the most unusual lengths. Imagina- tion to conceive new shapes, new combinations of stones, was wppar- ently unending Not all of these rings would have satisfied everyone, for the square patterns and occasional cubistie, ' irregular dovetailing of stones were so unusual as to be al- most repelling Some of tbe rings of this nature, if worn, would have attracted attention rather than praise. On the other hand, the designs were interesting always, and some of the rings extremely beautiful. Especially notable was a three -bar diamond ring by Mauboussin set in platinum. The point of the exhibition is, of course, that jewelryenaking is more than a trade; it has become an art. This exhibition has, also, shown that Prance in its jewelry designs is com- ing to be known as one of the great- est international centers, and will have a reputation in this relspect equal to its fame for dresses and perfumes.

The important consideration is that negligence was possible; that the owners of a ship were able to send it to sea in an un- safe condition. The reports on the sinking of the Vestris should bo ntll- ized as a basis for new laws and new regulations so designed that it will be impossible, through negligence, ignor- ance or design, to send unseaworthy ships or ships not equipped with the most modern life -preserving equip- ment to sea.
