A New Spider.

Professor Wilder says, in the Popular
Science Monthly for April: Strolling
through the woods near Ithaca, N. Y,
one October afternoon, saw, upon a
leafess hemlock branch, what looked
like piece of the net Of some geomet-
rical spider. Still, there was a regular
accord with the idea of its being frag-
ment. A closer examination showed
that its form and structure were perfect
and unbroken; and moreover that, in
stead Of hanging losely from the twigs,
it was upon the stretch, as if constantly
drawn by power at one or the other
end. On touching the net to determine
its degree OF tension, what was my amaze
ment to see it suddenly loosened with q
snap, as if let 30 at one end! Nor was
my wonder diminished when, a mo-
ment afterward, the net slowly regained
its original condition, by steady pull
ing upon short line connected with the
apex. And now I saw the puller-a lit
tie dull-colored spider, about tone eighth
of an inch long-hanging from the I'M
der side of the apex line and hauling it
in, not " hand over hand" as it first ap-
peared, and as one would suppose by
analogy with sailors operations, but
foot over foot" in short, with it's hinder
legs moved alternately SO as to gradual
~ take in that part Of the line which in
tervened between its body and the twig
to which it was attached
When this line was ali taken in the
spider was close against the twig, and
it's legs were drawn together, so that
the whole formed compact brown
mass about the size and shape of raisin
seed, and differing SO little in appear
ance from the projections of the dried
hemlock twigs among which the net was
built that felt in part excused for not
having noticed the little creature
before.

band-saw is belt, and the power
to do work is all derived from
the friction between the band saw and
the lower pulley. In the case OF
the saw-mill spoken of it amounts to
from ten to ffteen-horse power, and
this is all transmitted by the saw itself.
1t may be said we cannot get belts of
steel wide enough to take the place of
our large belts. Whenever such belts
are wanted, they will be made, of any
width and length asked for Belts of
the present make are run with a strain
of one-ffth their strength, and as the
strength of low steel is over 1000
pounds to the square inch, belt one
foot wide, and one-eighth of an inch
thick, would have strength of 15O.-
600 pounds or more. One-ffth of that
would give us 10000 pounds; this strain
upon an elastic surface pulley of say
sixteen feet, running at speed of 1000
feet per minute, would give usa belt with
the power to transmit over 1900 horse
power. If the belt were sixteenth
of an inch thick it would BIZ able to
transmit 900 horsepower. We have no
belts now capable of anything like this.
How will this belt be joined? When
the band-saw first came out it was look
ed upon as the stumbling block in its
way, but to-day they are joined without
thought. and in about the same time
that it would take to join a belt of
leather. The steel belt would be Joined
IN the same way. Whether this steel
belt is the belt of the future or not,
there will be wanted better and cheap
er one than we now have, and it is to
the practical engineers that we are to
look for it,

LiyingstOne's Researches.

It would be impossible to overstate
the Importance of DR.. Livingstone s
researches and discoveries. By his own
exertions, beset with perils and OBJ
sticles which would have driven back a
man less courageous and determined,
he has filled up great space in the
map of Africa: he was the first Euro
pean whose eyes beheld vast inland seas
whose existance had been vaguely con-
jectured from native reports; he laid
down the course of huad1 eds of new
rivers, and noted their volume and the
velocity of their flow. Most important
among the facts recorded in his journals
is the discovery that Lake Nyassa
belongs to totally distinct system of
waters from that which holos Lake Tan
ganyika and the rivers running North
and West. With regard to the latter
lake he leaves an interesting problem
to be solved by future explorers. 1t
may be taken for granted that he would
hardly venture the surmise that Tan
ganyika may have subterranean out
let without having duly weighed the
probabilities in the scale with his Ella
borate observations. But whether this
really polrs its waters through the
caverns of Western Kaboga into the
vast rivers flowing Northward, is a
problem which must soon be deternin-
ed by actual exploration.
Besides geographical information OF
Importance, these journals contain in
Vulnerable notes on the habits of an
imals, birds, and fishes: on phenomena
of every kind that came under the keen
searching eye of the great traveller as
he moved through some of the grandest
and mos beautiful scenes in the world
descriptions Of native life and habits,
and sketches of personal adventure
told with the natural modesty of a great
man, whose thoughts were more on his
work than on himself. Mag

An Owl in the United States Supreme
Court.
Washington Chronicle.

AS if Providence had DOUBTS of the
assembled wisdom of the Supreme
Court, the other day one of these medi-
tative birds suddenly appeared in their
MIDST. 1t came down the chimney and
perched itself at the right hand Of the
chief justice without saying a word, and
there it sat all day, blinking, winking,
and gravely listening to stupid pleas,
nodding comfortably between times,
and, altogether, performing the duties
of the Bench with due decorum. No one
disturbed the new associate, but when
the other owls walked up at evening and
went home, he, too, shook off the dust
of ages and went up the chimney. An
attendant Immediately stopped up the
fireplace, and put up notice. No
outside owls are hereafter permitted in
the Supreme Court chambers.

he argued, thinks that I have forgot
ten 1t in my delirium, and lesitates to
tell me of it,
The next time that the immovable old
face came near him, he threw the re-
naming arm around theold mans neck,
and said: eff [ had tvo arms, father,
[ would put them both round your neck.
Forgive your poor cripple for any sor-
row he has caused YOU"
" My own boy, you have caused me
no sorrow, 1 am going to cause you
some. Are you strong enough to bear
it,"
" Is Elizabeth dead ?''
"Your faithful nurse? God forbid
that such thing should happen. She
is close by. But the match between
you and Ada is broken off. She has be-
haved more heartless than [ could have
conceived. She has refused, do you
understand, to marry you after your
accident. It is all over, my poor boy"
"Thank God !" said George
care you glad, then 2" said his father.
I" I don't know yet. Did you say that
Elizabeth was here ?" Send her to me.
And, dear father, go away"
When the father came back, a beauti-
full woman had thrown off her wimple,
and had disclosed the magnificent ra-
dance of her hair, which one month
afterward would have teen cut away
She said: Sc [ am going to marry your
crippled son, sir. [ will be good
daughter to you. Try to be good
father to me-"
So they took hands and went down
the stream of life together, and never
separated in thought, mind, or deed.

On the Door Step.

On the Door Step.
We were sitting on the door step

Save where the moonlight fell,
And the dear head resting
With its wavy, soft brown hair,
Made more than ever lovely
The face / thought so fair.
know we talked but little,
And at last Der cath the stone,
We heard the cricket chirping
So clearly all alone,
Til my heart had mustered courage
To tell her then and there.
How for her sweet sake truly
'Twould all things do and dare.
Then came the soft, shy answer,
AS her shining eyes dropped low:
''My heart is mine no longer;
Twas yielded long agow
And even as she doomed m
To misery and pain,
The soft cheeks filed with dimples,
Gathering DER and DER again.
How well now remember
That, turning fast away,
I would not heed the whisper
That softly babe me stay,
Till, at the low gate turning,
Her face once more to see,
I saw the tear drops shining
In theey es that followedme.
Alb ! then, with heart fast beating,
To her side l turned again.
"Oh, tell me, Madge, my darling,
Has my love been all in vain?
You do not love another?
Your words were only play?
Look up and answer truly
Madge, must go away"
Again the dimples gathered,
Fen while the moons pure light
Betrayed the tears still shining,
Like dew drops soft and bright.
"My heart was mine no longer;
I have given it, it's true;
Why could you not have waited?
Because-ah! / meant you ~

the head is below the surface of the belt
then of course there is no contact Now,
every rivet in belt is in one or the
other of those positions, and leather
belts would be improved by using some
thing else in their place. Double leath-
er belts are more used than single ones,
but it is clearly mistake, as a single
! leather one will transmit more of the
power than double one. If YOU look
at the face of a leather belt, You vii,
see, when it has been used for q time,
the face has a notified appearance, light
and dark, showing how much Of
the surface of the belt has been
In contact with the pulley. If an
avera e of one inch of width has not
touched, then you have paid for one inch
of belt that is of no use, but is really a
detriment. Double leather belts run
straighter than single ones, as the flank
side of one part can be put against the
back of the others. A double belt will
stand a greater tension than a single
one, but single one will stand all that
should be put upon any belt. The cost
OF betting IS increasing every year, and
it is well to look out for the belt of the
future. My impression is it will be
made of low steel of great tensile
strength, and will run upon pulleys of
an elastic surface to give greater fric-
ton. The instance | mentioned of a
sheet iron belt running upon cast iron
pulleys is, l believe, in Pittsburg. But
We nave hundred instances of the steel
belt upon an elastic surface pully III this
city, in the band saw, and one of a
large saw mill saving logs with band
saw about three inches wide. Now,

Deleval died that night, but George
was delirious, and did not know it.
His head was confused for long time.
and he came to himself very slowly.
The first person he knew was his father:
he fancied he must be in London, be-
cause his father never went out of Lon
don on any pretext whatever, and he
would never take the trouble to come
ten miles to see him, though he might
spend q hundred pounds in sending

Guided that he must be in London.

The first information that his father
gave him was that he was still at
Givonne, and that Paris was besieged.
There was an intense tenderness in
his fathers manner, which he had never
noticed before He made a guess at
the reason of this when his mind fully
returned to him. Ho new that be had

 From 8 casual perusal of an article in the Enquirer of last week, having Sharon at its head and the suggestive cognomen, Zero, at its tail, substantially devoted to re- affirming that this town is, or has beer scourged with g virulent epidemic disease, I am driven to the conclusion that the so- called epedemic has either gone down to zero, or that zero has got the epe6emic both conclusions are correct, for from all the information l can get on the subject, there never was any foundation in fact fol the statement in regard to an epedemie made by my friend few weeks ago in the Enquirer. maintain since the issue hal been forced upon me by Zero himself that if he knows ot any virulent disease unknown to medical works etc. raging ir this town in an epedemic form as he asser ted, it is duty he owes to the citizens, to locate it-and call the attention of the prop CT authorities to the same, and if there Is no such disease, then it is for the common good that it be promptly and emphatically denied, and assume the responsibility of denying it 6'a toto. and I go farther, viz. I deny on the highest medical authority that there is or has been during the past throe months, any disease of sufficient prev alence to be by any stretch of the imagina- ton characterized as epidemic, excepting perhaps, disease called influenza. which in no sense of the word is virulent or ia tai. know there has been rather unu- sual amount of sickness in town, from va rious diseases, but that does not constitute an epidemic by any means, neither does 1t help his (zero's) case to enumerate deaths from scarlet fever in Salisbury, or 10 dilate upon the sanitary condition of adjoining towns, the point at issue, being, is there, or has there been, this winter or last autumn, any fatal disease in this town, that can bs called an epidemic? And ia there or has been any disease unknown to medical works and which the doctors do not under stand" All of the physicians of this viii lage deny having any knowledge of such disease. ......

Limo Rock.
 Friend Pease:: While waiting tor the mail stage and my paper (THE NEws), I observed a fine looking dog in company with said stage. and while waiting ts change the mail, Mir. Moses, the peddler's, dog rushed out and gave battle. Now if the village of Lime Rock had suddenly been wrapped in flames, there would not have been a more general outpouring of men, to the number of fifty or less, from the work shops and offices, to see that dog fight, and they stood there with coats off and sleeves rolled up, on that bitter cold morning, so eager to see the fray that they evidently did not realize at all that the mer- cury was then lowering around zero. The stage dog seemed to fight on that principle of right (self-defence), and it did my heart good to see that noble dog let go his awful grip and trot on with the stage as if nothing had happened, leaving his enemy and az gressor all torn and bleeding, and that large crowd of men standing there toiled and dissatisfied because the dog would not stay longer and satisfy their hellish desires for such low and disgusting scenes, and the thought sprung up in my mind which was the most civilized, those men or that noble and faithful dog. Now is there no stop to such things being encouraged and carried on in our streets, and if there is, is there no man in this place that has public spirit enough to stop them a......Last Friday morning Mr. Charles Barley of this place cleaned out his stove and left pan of em bers on the floor, and his little son, some two years old, who was running about with his night dress on, sat down in them aut got burned very seriously, but it is hoped not fatally. This is another warning tt parents leaving such dangerous thing' around where children can get to them. OBSERVER.
