A Colorado Spider Story.

A short distance from Bueua Vista,
saws the Leadville (Co.) Chronicle, is a
cave inhabited by spiders which differ
from other spiders in their enormous
size and are quite useful to the needy
people of that region. The cave was
discovered last December by party OF
sipht.seers, and the spiders and their
work were witnessed. On entering the
cave one is first struck by the funny
looking webs. They are worked like
webs Of other spiders, but every fibre is
ten times as large as the ones woven by
ordinary spiders. On passing further
into the cave the spiders are encountered,
They are about The size of small birds
and make strange noise while wearing
their web. TIE webs are 80 tough and
the fibre 90 large that it is almost an
impossibiIity TO break down web.
Some four weeks ago while looking at
the cave miner got to examining the
webs. Their strans were about the size
of a number 12 thread, and he thought
that they could be used for thread.
Having needle in his possession ne
broke off one of tho strands and found
that it fitted the needle. Sewing loose
button to test the efficacy he found it as
strong as silk thread, and that it answer
ed his purpose. Since then the people
have focked in and carried away hosts
of the webs, but the spiders do not appear
to object 10 the least. There is some talk
among capitalists of starting thread
factory there and using the webs for
thread.

Strange Sensations.

Conductor A. s. Parker, ofthe Grand
Trunk Railroad, who resides in Battle
Greek, Mich, by an accident lost a
leg and arm at Stillwell Station. The
members severed from the body were LEFT;
lying by the side of the track, while the
body vas Immediately conveyed to South
Bend for medical assistance. AS soon asl
he recovered consciousness he began to
complain that his right arm was in a
cramped condition. His attendant,
knowing his arm was many miles away
By the side ofthe railroad track, paid no
attention to his complaints, thinking him
out of his head. He still continued bis
assertions that the fingers ofeshis right
arm we're doubled under his hand, and
asked his assistants to send and get his
arm at S.illwell. By his speech they
saw that he realized the accident,
and telegram was sent to Stillweli to
send the mutilated arm to its owner.
The request was carried out, and the arm
sent to him by express. So soon as it
was taken,np off the ground, a'tew mo-
ments afier-the telegram was sent, Parker
remarked to his assistants that his arm
was all right now, that they had picked
itup. Every time person took hold OF
it along the route Parker would speak Of
it, and CRY out with pain when it was
roughly handled; and whenever any Of
his attendants touched it while il lay
in the next room to him he knew it as
quickly as though the arm were still at.
tached to his body. The messenger who
got the arm said that he found it
lust as Parker had said it was, with
the fingers cramped under it. This
is one Of the most singular yet we'll au-
thenticated cases on record, where man
could feel an arm which was cut off and
lay many miles from him, and which had
been cut of many hours. The physicians
are baffied to account for it, and can only
class it under the head Of the unexplain.
able phenomenal mysteries which are met
with in the study of nature.

A Challenge by Telegraph and Meet.
Ing In Person.

l. A "cursing out" yer the wires comes
| in such q round about way, the words
fall in such cold and spiritless manner
from the transmitter that the instance is
perhaps rare in which the insult pro.
vokes collision. An exception to the
rule, however, we have to record:
More than two years ago a:we]l known
and popular telegraph operator; stationed
at this place, in an irritable moment re-
ceived an insult from a brother operator
in Greenville, S. G. Generous and lib
eral in everything else, he could not
brook personal reflection. and the sting
rankled in. his mind. For two years,
wherever the two operators have been in
communication, the words have seemed
curter, the letters cut shorter, until the
unfeeling instruments themselves have
seemed to espouse the quarrel. Last
Saturday they broke out into angry
pickering, hot words were exchanged for
hot words, faster and more furious grew
the war, the click-click of the instruments
was deafenipg, when, suddenly, it reached
| q climax, the deadly insult was given and
| received, and the instruments resumed
their ordinary SLOW and business-like
tone.
"Will you meet me and give me salts.
| faction?" was said in COLD and deliber-
ate manner.
II will" was the answer, in manner
equally cold and deliberate.
"Where?"
"On half way ground. The passenger
trains meet at Gastonia. Twill meet you
there tonight"
20. K"
This was all. The Charlotte operator
| closed the instrument, obtained leave OF
absence, got into his coat and boarded
the train for Gastonia. One o'clock in
the morning, the moon shining bright,
Gastonia, and the other train in sight.
A few minutes interval and the antago.
nists confronted each other. The Char
lotte man weighs about 130 pounds. The
Greenville man 170. The latter had two
friends with him evidently to insure fair
play. A hundred yards were measured
of, sufficient 10 take them from the range
of observation, a suitable spot was
selected and the two men laid off their
coats.
The Charlotte operator, quick and &C.
tive, but otherwise at disadvantage,
made the onset and delivered several
well.directed blows upon the face Of the
| other. The latter in his turn closed
| with him and attempted to throw him.
The activity of the first again came
to his assistance and successfully got the
inturn on his enemy, but, in the fall ,;un-
| fortunately struck his head against the
corner of a fence. His attention was to-
| tally absorbed in looking at stars for the
next few seconds, which his antagonist
| took advantage of to invert the order OF
their position. The ITO FOUNDER now
had it all his sown way. He sat on top of
the Charlotte man and beat him TIL he
was too tired to beat any longer. The

under more favorable auspices probably
would have won the fight. No quarter

Corn cribs are built of jack poles to hold
from three to FIVE hundred bushels OF
corn each. After the crib is filled dry
hay or sorghum stalks are thrown over

are covered, but not nailed up. You can
