The robber or coooanut crab has been known for some centuries, but until
lately doubts have existed whether these crustaceans actually climb trees to
reach the cocoanut. The accompanying photograph taken on Christmas Island
should do away with all uncertainty on this point. The animals are easily
frightened, anil scuttle off backwards at the slightest alarm. They do not
live only upon cocoamits, but feed on fruits of various kinds, especially those
of the sago-palm, while carrion of all sorts—even the bodies of their own
relatives—does not come amiss. At cne time, when rats swarmed In the
forest at night, the crabs restricted their depredations to the daylight hours;
but now that rats have almost disappeared, even at night, camp utensils are
not safe from their claws. In fact, they have been known to carry away | i°i
I cooking apparatus, bottles and clothes. The robber-crab s method of carrying ©
cocoanuts is to strip them of their husks, and then to hold the nut under ®
some of its walking legs, while It retires raised high on the tips of those of ^

The common sea-turtle, found in
i large numbers on the coast of Florida,
j indulges in a large family, being no
believer in race-suicide. She lays 150
| round white eggs during the two days
| she remains on her nest. She then
tills in the pit. which is about a foot
deep, and leaves the 'ggs there to be
hatched out by the heat of the sun.
The eggs of the turtle are considered I
quite a delicacy and many persons I A curlosliv r<

! of the sand when they are fresh laid, j shape
a Hindoo squatted on the floor. Jerked
| off his shoe and used the great toe of
j his right foot for stamping an impres-
sion on the deposit slip. The Hindoo
! signatures all look alike to bank cash
i iers, who use thumb imprints as an
additional means of identification In
cases where depositors hail from the
far east.
This system could not be followed
out because the would-be depositor's
hands had been scalded at Hamilton
City while working around the vats of
boiling water in the sugar factory. He
solved the problem by directing the
Hindoo to take off his shoe.
This operation complete, the depos-
itor was handed the ink pad and the
deposit slip. Putting both feet on the
I floor, he pressed the toe on the S ik
and then transferred it to the paper,
making a clear Impression. The im-
pression w ill hardly answer as well as
the thumb imprints, but the bank says
it will do as long as the custom does
not become general.

in front of the residence of John R.
Hatch in the village of Greenland. N.

of sturdy spruce trees, ranged side by
side as thickly as their growth will
permit, and which are now 30 feet
high.
This distinctive feature of one of
New Hampshire's fairest villages is 40
years old. The roadway which runs
along the Hatch premises Is com-

it is possible to be without talking.
She Is nearly three feet high when
erect, but she favors a sitting posture,
and looks about her in the wisest kind
of a way. Her skin is black, and the
entire body and head are covered with
short, dark reddish hair, that is not
over-thick oil any one part, while the
extreme length oil the back is less
than one Inch. Mary is of a cleanly

Twice a day she has a good wash. A
tub of water, soap ami a towel are
given her, and she handles the soap
with an expert hand, afterward polish-
ing off with the towel When she Is
through she wrings out the towel and
up to dry. On the voyage
from China, Mary was once given a
tubful of towels from the wash, and
she carefully wrung out every one

by a gaily caparisoned horse and the driver sits ..de-ways on the floor These
vehicles are very numerous in Seville and are largely patronized by all classes
that can afford the small amount that Is charged for their use. They are
especially suited to the narrow and stony streets of the city.
