extent of one degree for every fifty feet.
But in the second 100 feet this falls to
one degree in seventy feet, and in the

do not necessarily involve excessively
high temperature coal-working can be
carried on below the level previously
considered possible. This is practically
proved at Chaleroi, in Belgium, where

Horrible Death from the Bite of a
TArantula.

Mrs. JERv1s, wife of farmer living
near Sacramento, died a few days ago in
this city from the bite of tarantula.
The case is singular, and is another in
stance of the deadly attributes ofthis in.
sect, not uncommon in many portions of
California. Some six months ago Mrs.
Jervis, then living on her husbands farm,
had occasion to strike light, and going
to a closet felt about for match. While
so doing she found something in piece
of writing paper. which she thought
might be a bunch Of matches, and took
hold Of it. AS she did so she felt a sharp
pain like the prick of a needle or pin,
and found something attached to her
fore-finger. She screamed with terror.
Her husband rose, lit a candle, and to
his horror discovered that she was bitten
by a tarantula-whose poison is deadly
unless the wound be Immediately cauter-
lied. He told his wife that she had
only one chance of her life, to have the
injured part cut out She consented,
and getting his razor he cut piece one
inch square out Of her finger. The un-
fortunate woman stood the operation
heroicalN but its effects were not such
as were desired. She fingered for six
months in continual agony, her blood
literally drying up, till she was reduced
to an absolute skeleton. Three months
before her death her entire right side be-
came paralyzed; yet, strange to say, the
hand had a tendency to crawl, and the
fingers necessarily moved like the legs of
aspider. This feeling she said she could
not control and it presents one of the
strongest phases of this disease, though
usual accompaniment, so averred, of
poisoning by insects OF the spider kind

rs THERE my HEALTH IN TUEMf

Let lis give the platform makers of the
Ohio Democracy credit for one thing. Ten
months ago they were still in favor of paying
off the "fvctwcnty" six per cent bonds in
ercenbacks, their resolution reading as follows ::
Rcsolred, That the Democracy of Ohio rciterao their
declaration that the Vewenty bonds by the letter and
the spirit OF The aw ana the general understanding Of

Nation 70 their payment in coiu unnecessary and
wicked sacrifice OF the interests of the axpaying Ia
borers for the benefit Of The nonaxpaying bondholder
This year they "reitcrate" nothing of the
kind. Less than onc-haf of the original issue
of tive-twcntics remains in existence. The
greater part of these bonds have either been
paid in gold OF bought by the Government on
terms satisfactory to the holders of them.
That spear in the side of the public credit
may be said TO have dropped out. Pendle
tonsm is dead at last. But this is not the only
sign of intelligence shown by the platform
makers. Last year they resolved fercely in
favor Of taxing the interest paid to the cred
itors of the United States. This year they are
solelnnly silent on this ancient point of Demo
cratic doctrine. With this negative praise
