A Dangerous Experiment.

Paul Boynton, well known among the
habitues of Atlantic City as the champ
ion swimmer, and who left New York a
few weeks ago in the steamship Queen,
with the intention of putting on new
ife-saving apparatus and being thrown
into the sea three hundred miles from
the land, and then padding himself to
shore. has turned up in ireland. 1t
seems the captain of the Queen would
not allow the experiment to be made as
originally designed, so Boynton made an
involuntary passage to the coast of the
Green Isle. When the steamship had
reached point close to Fastnet Rock,
Cape Clear, three miles, and the hamlet
of Baltimore, seven miles distant, the
commander of the Queen, having been
frequently importuned, gave his per-
mission for Boynton to go overheard.
Boynton drew on his India rubber air
tight suit and inflated the air chambers;
in his air-tight sack he placed food for
three days, compass, bulls-eye Ian
tern, some books Gust to beguile the
time on the water,) some signal rockets
and United States flag. In his inside
pocket he placed a mail which the pas
sengers had given to him to post, he
strapped his bowie knife and axe to his
side, and grasping his paddle, was low
cred into the water, amid the cheers of
the passengers, at half past nine o'clock
p. m. 1t was wild, dark night. He
lay on his back padding vigorously,
and now the lights of the vessel were lost
in the night. In quarter of an hour
more his spirit almost quailed, when
tossed high on the crest of wave he
could no longer see the coast line or any
lights. The wind blew, and rain pour
ed down and the tide set dead against
him. He was drifting out to sea, and to
add to the awful loneliness of the situa-
tion, and to increase the dreadful peril,
a violent gale commenced. He was toss
ed on mountainous waves, over which
he floundered and padded for dear life
until o'clock the next morning, hav.
ing traversed distance of thirty miles
He landed at Trefuska Light, some
miles from Baltimore, his original OBJ
jective point. He then started for Cork
where he is now sporting naval uni

Making Camels Useful in WashOe.

Upon a ranch in Nevada, on the Car
son river, there is a herd of twenty-six
camels, all but two of which were bred
and raised in Nevada. Some years ago
nine or ten camels were imported into
that State, but of these only two lived
to become acclimated, and from this pair
have been raised twenty-four animals.
The men who have them are French
men, who had formerly some experience
with camels in Europe. They find no
difficulty in rearing them, and can now
show twenty four fine, healthy animals,
all of Washoe growth. The camel may
now be said to be thoroughly acclima-
ted. The owners Of the herd find it no
more difficult to breed and rear them
than would be experienced with the
same number of goats or donkeys. The
ranch upon which they are kept is sandy
and sterile in the extreme, yet the ami
mails feast and grow fat on such prickly
shrubs and bitter weeds as no other ami
NAL would touch When left to them
selves their great delight, after filling
themselves with the coarse herbage of
the desert, is to lie and roll in the hot
sand. They are used In carrying salt to
the mills on the river from the marshes
lying in the desert some sixty miles east
ward. Some of the animals easily car
ry l 900 pounds on their backs.

Spider Killers.

BY general observation spiders are
considered by ntomologists to have a
specific Office, viz: to keep down the
dangerous multiplication of winged in
sects. They occasionally seize a worm
or stray caterpiller, ifthey happen to en-
croach upon their webbed territory. But
entrappling flies is their forte. Insignif-
icant and solitary as they are, we could
not dispense with their quiet services.
Let spiders strike, and for a single month
in summer refuse to set their traps, we
could hardly defend ourself against arm
les of noxious insects that would take
possession of our dwelling. But useful
as they are, unobtrusive and vigilant as
sentinels in cellars, garrets, under the
floor, in the hiding places of straying
bugs, moth, and creeping things, they
have their enemies, and are subject to
the rigorous demands of the same law
under which they act, otherwise there
would be too many spiders in the world
especially in Van Dieman's Land.
Just in the busy season of spider act
ivity, when they are slaughtering their
thousands like Cincinnati butchers,
peculiar fly is let loose by nature TO linn
it their multiplication. 1t is about the
size of a wasp. In fair weather they
NAV be seen constructing their cells of
mud against walls and sunny dry places.
They are really prison dungeons. In
company or alone they hunt whatever
spiders are found, seizing them adroitly,
and away they fly with their prisoners,
which are forced into the cells, some
times three or four in one. When Sc
cure, they drop in an egg and then plas-
ter over the top securely. When the egg
matches, the young worm has an ample
supply of food all ready for consump-
ton. The above puts us in mind of an
incident that happened twenty-five years
ago. When Boy, hunting birds nests
we observed wasp yellow Jacket drop
into the web of large spider. As this
was something new, we watched the
movements of both very closely. The
wasp lay perfectly still. The spider came
out and apparently bound him fast, and
as he was turning to enter his den as
usual in such cases, the wasp turned and
took hold of the spider, cut his legs off,
took him. in his mouth and few away
with him to his nest. The whole was
the work of a moment Farmers Jour

A pleasant family reunion occurred
at the Russell House in this place, on

the 34th anniversary of the marriage of
the estimable host and hostess of the
House, Mr.. William Russell and Mrs.
Elizabeth Russell. There were present
all their children, ten in number, and
all their grandchildren-save one-six-
teen in number. Since their marriage,
which was solemnized in this place on
the 9th of November, 1910, this couple
have lived in Somerset-all the while
in the enjoyment Of the high esteem of
their neighbors, and their acquaintances
generally in the village. May they live
to celebrate many another similar ami
versary.
Perhaps, in this connection, it will not
be inappropriate for us to express the
opinion that Mrs. Russell thoroughly
understands the secret of making good
