Spider Crab Befuddles Even Most Astute Studants No one could possibly cred it this aquatic character with tlie pointed head with having hardly more, than a dim flick er of erab-lnteiligence, for he has no more brain than i hammer handle. Yet the spi der-crab performs some ac tions that befuddle the most astute students of marine bi ology. Some of his stunts smack of reasoning power; something akin to color-con sciousness or at least a meager knowledge of botany and an imal growth. Burrows in Mud The spider-crab, so-ealicd : because of its exceedingly1 long legs, prefers living in clumps of seaweed or burrow-; ng down in the soft mud of a bay. It is the largest of the ! crabs, a vegetable eating cre ature, doing most of its for aging during the night. The surface of the odd-shaped body Is rough and covered with an assortment of hairs, bristles, spines and prickles. Mixed in with these protuber ances are wart-iike mounds, all making for a very messy appearance. The spider-crab is no beauly. About the time early adult hood is attained, the spider- crab begins the serious busi ness ol self-adornment. It wants to hide under a blanket of living organisms. Carefully it selects bits of seaweed, a piece sf sponge, some hy- droids, in fact any plant or animal life that can tolerate transplanting or mutilation, The piece of material "is car ried to the crabs mouth where it is moistened with liva, mixed with some sort of adhesive, then carefully placed on the back. The crabs foreclaw holds the material in piace until it adheres. Once in place the piece of seaweed, sponge or other animal or plant life grows and flourishes. Here hardly noticed by hu man observers until recently enter the perplexing ques tions. The transplanting ac tion seems a little uncanny, for the crab oniy transplants those things that will live when placed on its back. It to entering the Army last January, He received his parachutist wings alter completing four weeks of intensive ground and aerial training which Includ ed five parachute jumps. Ut EXERCISE Army Specialist Four John L, Ford Jr., son of Mrs. Lolsa A. Ford, Merlin, recently par ticipated with other personnel from the 4th Armored Divi sion in a field training exer cise in Germany. Ford, who attended Milo academy prior to entering the Army, is stationed at Gopping- n, Germany, Small Worlds Around Us By lynn fA. Watkins seems to know that a piece of sponge cut from the parent sponge will develop; that piece of seaweed will grow. Lik Oaan Beltom At the same time the crabs select only those adornments that have the maximum matching or masking quali ties. Once completely adorned, the crab looks like a small section of the ocean bottom. Probably he thinks, in his homely pointed head, that he is safe from his enemies. And once covered with all the growing plants and ani mals, he resumes his sluggish life of peace in the seaweed bed. But should he be moved to another location where! surroundings are radically dif-i ferent, where the fauna and flora is changed, he will re- move all his adornment, piece ! by piece. He will rub ott any hy-i droid, living sponge that does! not match the new environ-1 ment, and replace It with marine forms that are pres ent in the new location. This may not be Intelligence; it may or may not be instinct; maybe it's Just crab-know- how. Anyway, in the vernac ular of the beatnik, this crab is "the most and way out," (RiUased by Th Rgisir and Tribun Syndicet, 1SS01 TIMBER PRODUCTS CO.
