Newark, N. J., June 12.—(AP)—A live lobster, scarlet in color, arrived here today in a shipment from Portland, Maine.

The authority on shell fish at the American Museum of Natural History in New York when notified said that a red lobster was a freak among lobsters, similar to the albino among humans. He stated that the museum has a blue lobster and asked that the red lobster be presented to the museum.
