BATTLE WITH A TARANTULA

The tarantula is the desperate of the
spider family. 1t frequently attains the
size of the hand, and with its great,
glaring black eyes, and frightful claws,
seldom fails to present an appearance so
formidable that a sensitive lady, even if
used to seeing the tarantula, will scream
ut the sight. The tarantula is, in fact, on
ly a big spider, and usually makes its
home in the open prairie, dwelling with
his family in nest concealed beneath
the tall grass. If you tackle him in his
retreat, You will very soon repent your
termerity. for he springs at you like I'll
ger, jumping to an astonishing height
sometimes three or four feet. He is one
of the most poisonous of the family of
the frdntfdoe, and his bite is said TO be
more fatal than that of the Tattlesnake.
In settlement called Grapeville Prairie,
near Fort WORTH some time ago, the son
of farmer named Featherstone was
one day occupied in gathering rocks on
the roadside. Upon overturning q large
flat rock he was suddenly confronted by
a large tarantuia, the size of mans
hand, snugly ensconced inhls nest along
with a number of young tarantulas.
The big one was yellow and black
stripped. and displayed the same inimit-
able color thai nature beStOwS On the

The wheat crop Of Australia, harvested
in January, 1890, was at first estimated at
100000 tons, then at 100000 tons. The
latest advices from that colony state that
there were /, $4,000 acres of land under
wheat, with an average yield of about
eleven bushels to the acre, which would
give Il gross out-turn of 16, 300, 900 bush
els, by far the largest quantity ever pro
duced in a single season in the colony.
Deducting from this the requirement for
seed and home consumption, say for seed
ing 1,G00, 600 acres, and five bushels per
capita for $4,000 population, will take
1 ,325, 900 bushels for food, or for food
and seed 2,925,0O0 bushels, leaving a
surplus of 1915 600 bushels for export
This represents 361 500 tons shipping
measurement, 2,240 pounds to the ton
About 3,S12, 400 bushels of the new crop
has been shipped UP to the list of April

will have 100000 tons of surplus wheat
available for export from the crop har
