CRAW FISH. 
The Craw Fish, like the lobster, hits 
n hard shell, which is very rough, whereas 
that of the lobster is nearly smooth. It is 
sometimes called the lobster of fresh water, 
and is a more strengthening food than the 
other kinds, which will thrive only in the 
sea. When a lobster casts its shell, which 
it does at different periods, according to its 
age, it throws itself upon its back, strikes 
its claws against each other, and every limb 
seems to tremble; its feelers are agitated, 
and the whole body is in violent motion. 
It then swells itself in an unusual manner, 
and at last the shell is seen to divide at its 
junctures. After this it disengages itself of 
its claws, which burst at the joints. The 
new shell soon becomes hard.
