LACK OF CERTAINTY.

4 writer in the Century declares that
our laws against murder are not strong
enough. The ST. Louis Globe Democrat
says: Human nature is no worse in
America than in England, France or Ger
many yet lynch law, so common here, is
altogether unknown there Why? Be
cause in England, France and Germany a
murderer, if caught, is morally certain to
be promptly tried, promptly convicted, and
promptly executed" Our contemporary
hits the nail on the head-it is the lack of
certainty in punishment that makes our
people distrtist the criminal Courts. Yet
the Courts are not to blame at all COM
pared first to the Legislators, and secondly
to the people who avoid jury, duty and
thirdly the weak people who are left to do
jury duty. \ first-claSS jury is found now
adays in the country only, as a rule; in
great cities it is certainly the exception.
Formerly lynch law was known only where
society was rude and the Courts hardly es-
tablished-away out in the borderland of
civilization, but now II IS common in old
communities, and where the activity of
the law is greatest. This is an anomalous
condition of thing, for in lawlessness the
people rebuke only themselves. By duty
doing they can control all these matters.
When they rise ana usurp the functions of
the Courts they simply testify to their
neglect as citizens in having permitted
yenal and weak juies and bad and incom-
petent judges, and technical and uncertain
laws

Last summer, while at Lynchburg, Va, |
observed spider-probably an Epeira-
spinning thread down from the upper sec
ton of large fountain on the lawn of the
Arlington Hotel. He wassome eight feet
from the surface. watched him descend to
the water, where he captured a beetle that
had unfortunately fallen into the large basin.
The beetle must have been an inch long.
Our Epeira made turn of his line around
his captive, and assembled all the way to his
nest; Immediately descending he threw an
other loop around his prey, and again as
cended to his nest, continuing this process
for full ten minutes. To myFsurprise,
while the spider was at his web, appar-
emily overhauling and tightening the sew
eral threads that he had spun to and from
the beetle, it left the water, and, evidently
by elastic contraction of the threads, as
cended full an inch from the SUFFICE The
spider spun down another lasso, and threw
il round his victim, then retired and was
busy with his lines, when the beetle again
moved upward These operations were re-
peated until, at the end of forty five min
utes, he had snugly secured his prey in his
nest, at a distance of at least eight feet
from the water, by this curious and inter
eSting method Science.
