It la the most formidable And rrpulslTe crenture In the aoaa. More than one (taring pearl diver and coral hunter lias battled with thin lialry monster and been driven to seek the aafety of a boot's deck. Though frequently found In cool wa ters, the great aplder-erob flourishes and atlnlna his Rrenteat size In the wa ter of Hie Japan sens. Though often encountered by coral and pearl hunters, the monster Is sel dom trnppedi and so only four speci men of full-Brown spider-crabs are to be found In this country. A fine specimen Is In Kiitgcr's College Museum of Nalurnl History. Two nre In the collections of the Ielnnd Btan ford and Cornell t'nlveraltles. The fourth specimen Is In a private collec tion In riillndelphln. While the lnrgcst and most ferocious of diH-p-sen crustneen, the splder-crnb la the most defenseless. Nil t tire una not provided It with a single weapon of de fence ngnlnnt Its many enemies. Still, the apMnrnnce of the aplder crab Is his best defense, and he Is mas ter of the scnled nnd fltiued thing Unit live In the ocean's depths. The spider-crab Is so mimed been use of Its strong resemblance to the famil iar spinning Insect. Its hablta are, however, those of the crab family. The long legs, which often exceed forty feet In length, nre thickly covered with oonrso black balr. The body, often fif teen feet In circumference. Is nlwo cov ered with hair. In which harnnclca, sea weed and tiny shellfish make their home. The spider-crab when Attacked ex udes an overpowering odor, which per meates the water around it, while It 1 antics Its long, hairy, fearsome arms until the water seethes. The food of the spider-crab Is for the most part decayed animal matter. Th creature la abnormnlly Indolent.

The Wonderful Collection in Edi- son's Laboratory. Method of Invention Pursued by the Great Electrician, The stororooms of Edison's lab orator contain what is perhaps the most womlorrul collection of snb itnnocs that has ever been brought to gether in tha world, and inoideutallr gives an insight of the methods which the groat electrician pursues in the course of invention. Hiiro on tha shelves ami in drawers may be fo'itnl almost everjr substance known to the organic ami inorguuio kingdom. As examples of tba hetcr ogmieitjr of the collection, in one sec tion of drawors are a score or more complete fur skills, including seal, inirtiu, groy fox, sable, cat skins, dog skins, etc. ( in another sectiou nia ilrawura containing albatross bones, rhinoceros horn, sea horso teeth, sharks' teeth, rhinoceros skin, fiih bladders ami innumerable other ani mal subxtauocx. Among the vogntnbla eubitiinccs arc oven aloes, touku. ami other beans, whose connection with invention it is difficult to surmise. It is in chemicals, however, thattho richness of the stores is most nppnr ent. Thoro are literally thousands of bottles and packages in tlio storeroom in one of the adjoining buildings (the chemical laboratory), and lining tho sides of various rooms in the main builtling. In tho formur two places the chemicals are classified according to their nature; in one department nothing but ext riots nro seen, in an other all of tho acids nro arranged to gether, while again the various com pounds of an element will bo found collected in groups, as for example, all of tho bromines, iodines, etc. Those vast collections give a cluo to tho method of iuveutiou, if such it may be called, purnsed by Edison, though with an invoutor of his re markable originality anymothod must play a very subsidiary part. Another illustration, nnd one more definite, was fnruishod at tha time of tho invention Is to embrace Its enemy, IIhIi or human. In Its huge, hairy tentacles, where death by smothering comes Blow but sure. The spider-crab's human victims nre not numerous, ihouh .lust how many coral and pearl hunters have been suffo cated in Its terrible arms no one will ever know. Khnvlnc Man is said to be the only creature that shaves. Hut this Is not so. A South Amerlcnn bird called the "motmot" ac tually begins slmvlng on arriving at maturity. Naturally adorned with long blue tail feathers, It is not satisfied , with them In their natural stale, but with Its beak nips off the web on each side for a space of about two Inches, leaving a ueiit little oval tuft at the end -of each.

Doc tors prescribed for me, nnd I followed their advice, but found no relief Until I took Lydla E. rinkham's Vegetable Compound. Oh! what a relief it is, not to have that tired feel ing day after day, in the morning as much as at night after a bard day's work, and to be free from all pains caused by Ovarian and Womb troubles.

Many thou sand specimens were obtained and testoJ, special expeditions being sent to several out-of-the-way parts of tho world for this purpose. No less than 1,200 varieties of bamboo wero ex aminod, and filaments from 300 of thesu made and tested. More recently tho same system was pursuod in investigation with the Roentgen rays.

An expert uced New York dealer says that ha has known of bnt three that were out tip tor kindling wood. Yet they of ten sell for a little more than so much pine would bring. One second-hand dealer sayi he bought six last week for $50. It is the custom of most bouses to take old instruments andsllow some thing for them. The doduction ia oouuted as almost dend loss, but it brings trade. The old instruments are refitted and polished up, however, and sold again. To whom? Where do they go? ia still the question. SU Louis Star-Hayings. Eighty Thousand Pianos a Year. About 80,00(f pianos are now being manufactured annually in America, and they aro praotioully all for home consumption. List year only 810 in struments were shipped abro.kd. Most of them went to South America, but a few were sent to Germany. We get from Europe far fewer pianos even than we seud there. There has been an effort made among fash ionabie folks to mtrouuee nere an Euglish make ; it is a fine in strument at home, but it won't do for Amerioa, because our climate ia so much dryer than the English that the wood shrinks and warps here ruinously. Pianos little need protective laws. In every case it is the same ; changes of climate affect all makes injuri ously. One famous American firm has met the difficulty by establishing a factory in Hamburg for the German market. Germany sends some pianos to South Amerioa and to Australia, and altogether she makes as many as we do. France and England only turn out 40,000 a year. The growth of the business here has been great, for in 1860 oar output was only 80,000. There are about a hundred factories in and about New York. Pianos seem to disappear from the world almost aa mysteriously aa pins, perhaps, oonsidering their else.

The East Iudia flying frog is a .... . rt.i soarer. ills toes are very long, iney aro connected by a thin bntwing membrane. When the batraoiatl IS at rest the membranous folds aro tucked snugly away between the toos. When the toes are extended and the mom brane is taut, the fore part of the fly ing frog's legs are greater iu arou than tho rest of bis body. One frog recently captured by a naturalist wns about four inches loug. The skin between the toes of tho hind ct measurod four nnd one-half inches, whilo the area taken up by the extended skins of all four feet ex ceeded twelve square inches. J. he ends of the toes are provided wit'h concave discs, tho peculiar construc tion of which permits tho frog to take a firm hold of tho branches. Another peculiarity of this frog is its power to inlialo and store in tho body a large volume of air. Hy this moans tho body is considerably distended, ond its woight, compared with its bulk, reduced. This faculty and tho large surfaco offered by tho membrane, be tween the toes enables tho frog to fly short distances from branch to branch. The back and logs are of a lustrous green color; tho stomach and toes nro yellow; tho skiu betweun the toes black and decorated with yellow stripes. Ceremony of Receiving an Ambassador. Tho ceremony observed in receiving Minister is briefly this, says ex- President Harrison in the Ladies Home Journal. On a day appointed by the President the new Miuistcr drives with his secretaries nnd at taches to tho Htuto Department, and is thenco escortod by tho Bocrotary of State, to tho Executive. Mansion and conducted to tho Cluo Hooni. Tho Secretary then goes to the President's olllco and advises him that the Minis ter is in waiting. Tho President oil tho firm of tho Secretary, thou pro ceeds to tho lllue IIjoiii, nnd, the Minister and his suite standing, tho Secretary introduces tho MiliiHter, who, after bowing, proooeds to read his address, and at tho proper time bauds to the President his letters of credence, which nro immediately passed to the Hucrotnry of State. When the address of the Minister has been read tho President reads his re ply, and after a few moments spent in entirely informal conversation retires with the Secretary, who, returning, conducts the Minister from tho Execu tive Mansion.
