Kansas City , Mo. , Monday , Aujjust , 21 , 1905 : Total cattle receipts here last week were 58- 000 head , against ( > ( > ,500 previous week. The shortage was in corn fed cattle and Quarantines , while receipts of Westerns and stockers and feeders were larger than the week before. The demand for stockers and feeders has been a disappointment up to the last week , and prices on them have been rapidly dropping down. About the middle of the week a basis was reached satisfying to buyers , and the business was better from that time to the end of the week than any days here tofore this season. About 600 cars went out during the week , against 375 cars the previous week. The cattle supply today is 13,000 head , lightest for Monday in three weeks , and not up to ex pectations. The market is better on all kinds , as a result , cows , corn fed steers , stockers and feed ers all selling strong to 10 cents higher ; veal calves a quarter higher : grass killing steers steady. This puts everything 1(1 to 25 cents above a week ago , ex cept grass steers , mainly West erns , , which sell today about 1C cents under labt Monday. The best corn fed steers sold at $5.5i last week , and that is the toj today , but strictly prime cattk would bring upwards of S5. ( > 0 More than half the dry lot steer , last week sold at $5.00 to $5.40 Grass Westerns sell at $3.40 tt $4.50. A few dry lot heifer bring * $5.00 or better , but tlu proportion of these is small. Bull of the grass she stuff sell at $2.3 , to $3-25 , canners $1.05 to $2 25 veal calves $4.50 to $5.50. Mos of the feeders sell at $3.25 t ( $3.85 , stockers $2.75 to $3.50 , al though a few cattle sell at $4.0 ( to $4.25. > r The hog market fluctuate . without much excuse , as receipt are very small at the best. Pack 4 ers , however , confin.e ' their pur chases to the requirements of th fresh meat trade , and when re ceipts g e t above this limitec demand , prices drop down Market is 5 to 10 lower today top price $6.15 , bulk of sales a $5.95 to $6.10 , which is the sam the same as bulk of sales at Chi ie cage today. FISH AND BIRDS IMITATE. Inflects , Crabs nnd Other Animals Pos sess Remarkable Faculty for Changing Color. Many insects , birds , aniumla nd even llsh and crabs are won- erfnlly clever imitators. They vill take upon themselves the olor , shape or position of their iitTonndings so perfectly that either" friend nor enemy can dis over their whereabouts. There is u llsh to be seen in tin ; clp beds about the island of San- a Catalina which has aclever way f making itself invisible. The > ody is slender , with a pointed lead and prominent eyes. Along he back is a continuous frill , vhich is the dorsal liu , while , op- > osite , the anal tin is equally era - a men ted. The llsh vary in color. Some are amber , others orange or ivid green , while some have two hues combined , dark and light green or olive and yellow. These ) eouliarities of form and color fender the llsh nmrvelously lik * he kelp leaves among which it eeks protection. A number of these fish were ) laced iu the tanks of the Zoolog- cal Gardens , where they might be ibserved. They showed great un- asiness , some of them even leap- ng from the tank. Another tank vas prepared where the natural urroundiugs of the fish were imi- ated as nearly as possible. A iraiich of macrocystis , with leaves muging in the water , was sus pended over the tank. The most uneasy of the llsh were placed in he new home , and their change if feeling was soon evident. One warn at once to the kelp leaves ind poised itself head downward. \iiotlier , with head poised up ward , became a remarkable imita tion of the hanging leaves in shape tml color. The llsh made no fur ther effort to escape. Another inhabitant of the kelp beds is an olive green crab , which dings to the under side of the kelp tangles. This crab also showed great uneasiness when it wa j placed in a tank. When the kelp was introduced'it crawled upon it and was at once almost invisible , so much did it resemble the kelp leaves. Another crab makes itself look exnetly like a rough stone When it is alarmed it dnnvs up its legs and appears a bit of inani mate stone. Several deep sea spiders which had been found at a deph of 80S feet were kept in a tank for sev eral weeks. When taken from the dredging net they were a dark brown , though presumably the spot where they came from was so dark that they i-ouid scarcely have been seen. Yet even this type of apparently sluggish life had sufllcient intelligence to real ize that in the light of the tank it was a conspicuous object ' so it began to add seaweed to it's back The seaweed was plucked , then passed to the mouth , and finallj attached , not to the back , but ta the point of the shell above the mouth so that it fell over the crat like a gorgeous plume , making the crab very conspicuous. But wher * was startled the plume of sea Krat Tissue Paper.

LUCK OF MAN OUT OF JOB Poor Sailor Found a Lump of Amber gris Valued at ? 12OOQ Story of Life on Sea. Out of a job and depending on he tlotsam of the bay for fuel and ts deeps for llsh to warm and fc id he patient wife at home , and ther 0 pick up a $12,000 lump of am ) ergris , his ownership of whici no man may successfully dispute s the experience of William F Getchell , of 1371 Goss street , Oak and , Cal. In the early days Getchell fol- owed the sea , but late years uive found him slow in responding spending to the call of "top- nen aloft , " so he has been forced to eke out a living by doing odd jobs around the Southern Pa cific ferry yards , ostensibly u lainter , but of late work has been slack and money scarce. Fuel and ' ' oil had to be provided , so he nrned to that which had always ( t-ovided it in the past the sea. letehell secured a leaky old boat , 1 few hooks and lines , and with ihese took to the bay , llshing and keeping a weather eye open for j driftwood. In company with Charles Acker man. a neighbor , he started for1 Goat Island. It's a long pull and a hard pull , a back and heart breaking pull from Oakland estu ary to Goat island , esj > ecially for' ' men of their age , but Getchell' ' know whore the tide rip. racing' ' past the island , cast its tlotsam' ' on the shore. There he was almost \ sure to find wood. ' They were near the island when Getchell sighted an ash gray col ored mass bobbing about on the waves. A landsman would have passed it without a second look,1 but a sailor man passes nothing until he "knows" what it is. | Getehell headed the boat toward the greasy-looking object and poked it with an oar. The next in stant the boat was shipping water as he leaned far over the gun wale , his fingers clutching into the jelly-like lump , as he tried to drag it into the boat. With the help of Ackerman this was accom plished and the quivering , stink ing , greasy 30 pound marts was soon lying at the bottom of the ) boat. "It's ambergris or I'm a land lubber , " said Getcholl. "Let' ' hurry up and get some wood and i go home. " Pieces of it were submitted to scientists at the University of California - ' ifornia , who pronounced it ambergris - ' gris of good quality. Liebes & Co. , of this city , negotiated for its purchase , but reports of the chem ists are conflicting , and samples I were sent to New York for further analysis. Meanwhile the lump re poses in a candle box under Getchell's bed. | The lump is unusually large , 25 pounds being about the average j size , although a few have been i picked up that weighed GO pounds , | and there is a record of one lump that weighed 225 pounds.
