Chic,rn cram and Produce.

Chicago. Sept 5.-There was a continu-
alton of Yesterdays dizziness IN specuIa-
tive market for wheat today and IN the
absence of stimulating news or outside
support feeling was again quite heavy.
That the price did get below 1S15c for De
cember was probably due to the fact that
a prominent local operator stood ready to
buy all the crowd would sell at that.
Fair business was transacted in corn and
the feeling developed was firm, trading
being at slightly higher prices. The
strengthening factor was reports of frost
Last night in some sections of the west and
she market opened firm At yesterdays clos
ing prices. but soon sold off 11@3Ic, offer
ings being large. Local longs sold freely.
A reaction followed the early decline and
the market recovered, which was due to
indications of frosts in Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana tonight The market ttuctuated
frequently within &c range, final quota
lions being &c below yesterdays.
Oats were unsettled. Reports Of bad
weather and advance in corn had a
strengthening effect on the market aud
induced liberal buying of May, which
opened &c higher. For time trading
was brisk, but after buyers had been flied
mp weakness set in and prices receded &c,
rallied &c, but reacted at the close.
Early in the day a moderately active
business was done in pork. Prices ruled
somewhat higher and averaged higher,
closing at about medium figures.
Only small trade was reported in lard
and the feeling was easy. Prices ruled , Z
@5c lower and the market closed quiet at
medium figures.
Trading Was fairly active in ribs and the
feeling was somewhat unsettled. Prices
we're irregular and early the market was
stronger. prices 2l2@5c higher, but with
moderately free offerings an easier feeling
prevailed and prices declined 7j9GlOc and
closed steady at medium figures.
The leading futures ranged:

Venus and the Earth.

In the fundamental element Of size, Venus
and the earth are almost alike, our earth be-
ing 1900 miles in diameter and Venus 7,ooO.
The force of gravity on the surface of the
latter is very nearly nine-tenths OF what 1t Is
with us Its density is almost the same frac-
ton of that of the earth. These facts show
that if transported to the surface of Venus
we should feel more at home, so far as some
essential features of exI ssrisnce are concerned,
than on any other planet known to lis. We
should weigh Just about nlue-tenths Of our
present weight, and should find distances
bearing much the same r; TITO to our muscular
power Of walking that they do in this world;
while in all probability th surface rocks and
earth, II such be formed Ii ere, would be COM
pacted and constructed Il ko those we daily
see around u.s. This would not be the case ON
planets SO much smaller han the earth rs
Mercury or Mars, or so mut.h larger as Jupi-
ter Saturn or Neptune.
Again the year on Venus would be about
225 DAYS in length, good de- Il more like what
we have on the earth than Is the case on any
other planet In the length of the day we
should find still more homeike experience,
as the difference would be imperceptible ex-
cept to careful observation. Venus rotates
in % hours 81 minutes % seconds, and the
earth in % hours Sc minutes seconds. The
day, of course. depends a little on the motion
Of the sun in the sky. but the difference be-
tween this as seen ON our earth and from We
nus would not appreciahly affect the similar
ity of the days in each These hkenesses to
the length of our day and year and to our
worlds density would cause a similarity, in
all probability, in mountain form and vege-
tation In fact, so far, Venus is nearly the
twin sister of our world.

THE CURIOSITY SHOP.
Concerning Cobwebs-EabIe Of Arachne.
A Contest of Weaving.


Concerning Cobwebs-Eable Of Arachne
A Cohtest of Weaving.
Every one has noticed the cobwebs which
hang upon each shrub and bush, and are
strewn in profudon over every plat OF grass
on fine morning in autumn; and, seeing.
who can have failed to admiref The webs,
circular in form, ara then strung thick with
tiny pearls Of dew that glitter IN the sun
No lace IS so fine. Could any oe wrought
that would equal them In their nlmy dehcacy
and Hghrness, it would be worth princes
ransom. But for such work mans touch is
all too coarse 1t is possible only to our
humble garden spider, known TO scientific
people by the more imposing name EpeIra
diadema. These spiders belong to the family
of Arachnida, and the ancients, who were
great lovers of beauty, observing their webs.
invented the pretty fable Of Arachne.
Arachne was a maiden who had attained
to such expartness in weaving and embroider
ing that even the nymphs, leaving their
groves and fountains, would gather to admire
her work. They whispered TO each other that
Minerva herself must have taught her; but
Arachne had grown vain as she grew de1-
ferrous, and overhearing them, denied the I'M
plicatlon with high disdain She would not
acknowledge herself inferior even to god
dess, and finally challenged Minerva to trial
Of skill, saying: ''If beaten, l will bear the
penalty" Minerva accepted the challenge,
and the webs We're woven. ATachnes was OF
wondrous beauty, but when she saw that OF
Minerva she knew that she was defeated,
and, in her despair, went and hanged herself.
Minerva, moved by pity for her vain but
skillful opponent, transformed her into a
spider; and she and her descendants still re-
tain a portion of her marvellous gifts OF spin
ming and weaving.

CHAPTER vi.

The acquaintance struck up between
Jack Newenham and John Smith during
the scuffle did not end with it. Smith
came into town from his "claim" away
in the mountains every day. Nobody
but himself knew why he came, because
the facilities for gambling, drinking and
fighting. which were apparently the chief
attractions to the rest of his mates, were
never made use of by him.
II he generally came in the company
of half dozen miners bent "on the
SPREE" he nearly always went back
alone; and it was noticed that he was
usually alone during the hour or two he
stayed in the town. He would, in a
lazy. Indifferent fashion, drop off from
the rest of the party when they reached
the outskirts of the town, and pursue his
own course, which generally ended at
the "Red Unicorn" There he lounged
about the bar room, or leaned smoking
against the fence that shut of the small
inclosure in front of the building from
the square until it was time to go home.
1t was here, rather earlier than usual,
that Jack Newenham found him on the
evening after the scuffie
The young Englishman thanked him
again for his aid, and Mr.. John Smith
received the thanks with GOODNESS and
curt indifference. That sudden glimpse
Of good breeding and education displayed
the night before was the only one Jack
Newenham detected. Tonight Mr. John
Smith was no different from the men
who surrounded him. He did not re-
ceiye Jack Newenham's advances in a
friendly spirit-he even tried to repel
them. But Newenham, partly from
gratitude, partly from curiosity, was de-
