' .- Trée CIl'uib'lng' Crabs. An Ohio man, .Mr. T, B. Newcome,‘ who hiss recently returned from South Africa, tells this story about that country, which is unfortunately net ac- companied by affidavits: ' “They have a crab out there that climbs the cocoanut trees and bites off the nuts and lets them fall to the . ground. Then he backs downthe tree and eats the fruit. “The natives who inhabit the re- gions infested by this ill-conditioned crab are well aware that the lower por- tion of the crab's anatomy is soft and sensitive, and they believe that the crustacean was thus constructed in order that he might know when he had reached the ground, and when, conse- quently, he might with safety release his grasp of the trunk.”- Novel Pumping Plant. Manuel E. de Costa, who resides six miles south of Sacramento on the Riv- erside road, has built an ingenious ma-. chine for irrigating his flower garden and his orange and lemon trees. It consists of a wooden wheel ten feet in diameter aid with a. rim or tire about two feet wide. A dog is placed inside the wheel, which is turned by his weight as he gallops in treadmill fash- ion. The revolution of the axil turns a crank which operatesthe handle of a pump set in a dug well. After half an hour’s exercise the dog is taken out and a fresh dog put in for another half hour, The dogs seem to enjoy the work, for bark and Wag their tails when they are brought to the wheel. They know that it means something good to eat at the end of the half hour’s work.— Sacramento (Cal) Bee. Tom Tucker’ s Alligator Trap. One of the largest concerns in Jack- sonville, engaged in dealing in alliga- tor hides, has a customer upon its books named Tom Tucker, who brings in more hides than any three other men in the State. It was known that the saurians came from Dunn’s Creek, a tributary of the St. John’s River, but beyond this fact nothing could be learned concerning his methods of cap- turing the reptiles until a few days ago, when a buyer of the firm visited Dunn’s Creek, and espied Tucker ly- ing full length on a log, one end- of which was in the creek. Tucker had a. leg thrown into the water, and, just as the buyer approached, he saw the alligator hunter begin to scramble up the bank, while a huge saurian beat the muddy water into a foam. As the man reached the bank, the alligator came, too, having swallowed a portion of the leg' that was hung over the log into the water. Tucker drew a long, sharp knife, and soon killed the creature; then he un- screwed the leg and took it off to re- move the ’gator. Then his scheme be— came apparent. He has a wooden leg, and through it are driven shlarp steel spikes. He leaves the leg in the water, and it is swallowed by an Alligator. As the reptile closes his jaws the steel impales him, and it is impossible for aim to escape. ' ‘ " Additional Here and There. gone to Colebrook, N. H.
