Tho Eject OF q Tuning Fork on a Hungry
Old spider.
While q gentleman was watching
some spiders last summer 1t occurred
to him to try what effect tuning fork
would have on the insects He sus-
pected they would regard the sound
just as thoy we're in the habit of re-
garding the sound OF a fly. And sure
enough they did. He selected q large,
ugly spider, that had been feasting on
flies for two months. The spider was
at one edge Of its web Sounding tho
fork, he touched thread at the other
side OF the web, and watched the re-
suit Mr. Spider had the buzzing
sound conveyed to him over his tele-
phone wires; but how was he to know
on which particular wire the sound was
travelingp He ran to the center OF the
web very quickly, and felt all around
until he touched the thread against the
other end of which the fork was
sounding; then taking another thread
along just as O man would take an ex-
ira piece OF rope, he ran out to the
fork and sprang upon IL, But he re-
treated o little way and looked at the
fork. He wa, puzzled He had ex-
pected TO find buzzing fly. He got
on the fork again, and danced with
delight He had caught the sound Of
the hy, and 1t was music to him.

ORIENTAL CRUELTY
An Account OF the Ordeal by Boiling OIL
as Practiced In Ceylon.

as Practiced In Ceylon.
Recently the district Judge at Kalu-
tara, In Ceylon, had before him three
persons. including a village headman,
charged with causing .grievous hurt
to four others by requiring them to
plunge their right hands into a cal
dron of boiling oil. The medical evil
dence described the hands as being in
"a sodden, suppurating condition."
the fingers being in some cases de-
formed. In all cases the injured per-
sons we're unable to follow their ordi-
nary avocations for about month.
The facts OF the case as stated in the
Judgment were these: A woman in
the village had some plumbago and
rice stolen from her; a headman made
inquiry. and failing to obtain a clew to
the theft, announced that it would be
necessary on the third day to hold an
ordeal by boiling oil This appears
to be q not uncommon custom in re-
mote parts of the country, and the
tormalities are aa follows: Some oil
from newly-gathered king cocoanuts
is manufactured by one of the friends
OF the complainant; this is poured
into caldron and heated to boiling
point Each of the suspected parties
is supposed to dip his hand into the
vessel OF boiling oil and is at liberty to
sprinkle as much OF the hot oil as he
brings up with his fingers on the per-
son OF the complainant, who stands
close at hand. Any exclamation of
pain on the part of the suspected per-
son is construed into an admission of
guilt II no such exclamation is made,
the innocence of the party is supposed
to be established.
In the present case the evidence es-
tablished that the pressure on the &C
cused was not merely moral; they were
forced to dip their hands into the
burning oil No force seems to have
been used in bringing them to the
scene of the ordeal; they collected
there in response to the orders of the
headman, who, seated on platform
opposite the vessel OF oil, appears to
have acted as the presiding Judge.
Each OF the complainants deposed to
the fact that they were reluctant to
submit to the ordeal, but were forcibly
dragged up to the caldron by the
other two accused, and their hands
plunged into the boiling oil. They
had sufficient self-control to abstain
from calling out, except boy of sew
enteen, who cried out Justify, and was
thereupon pronounced the guilty one.
The judge took the fact that it was
custom into account, but refused to
dismiss the prisoners with a warning
as suggested by their counsel He
fined them one hundred rupees each,
with the alternative of rigorous i'm
prisonment for ten month 8. London

IRISH HATRED OF ENGLAND.
Goodwin Smith Says il is Undiminished
and Bitterly Assails the Irish.

Special Cable Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, Jan. 1l.-Goldwin Smith contro-
verts some statements of Professor Bryce's
american Commonwealth" He denies that
the bitterness of the Irish towards England has
diminished since the surrender of an English
party to Parnell He says it is impossible that
President Cleveland, a sensible, cool-headed
man. can really have fancied that Lord Sack
vile had done anything to warrant his summary
and insulting dismissal; and that Cleveland, in
sending the fisheries treaty to the Senate. pro-
claimed that Canada had shown herself willing
to agree TO a fair settlement Why, he asks.

wrong-doer? He saws the extradition treaty is

utes to the effect of
IRISH HATRED OF ENGLAND.
When he had only seen the Irish in Ireland
he was inclined to look upon the weaknesses of
their character as the effect of misgovernment
or political misfortune. This opinion was mod
flied when he went 70 the states and found the
Irish under different set of institutions be-
having as at home. forming an army of cor
ruption expressing and butchering the negro,
maltreating helpless Chinese, organizing the
Molly Mcguire league. raising, under ruffian
Kearney, the banner of confusion and plunder

ZANZIBAR, Jan. 11.-Advices have been re-
ceived from the interior that in October last
Mwanga, king Of Uganda, plotted to destroy
his entire body-guard, his intention being to
abandon them on an island in Lake Nyanza,
where they would starve TO death. The guards
who had been forewarned of the kings inten-
tion, refused to enter the canoes which were to
convey them to the island. but returned to the
capital and made an attack on Mwanga's PAL
ace. The king fed TO escape the fury of the
guards. and his brother. kiwewa. was installed
in his stead. Kiwewa appointed Christians to
the principal Offices. This enraged the Arabs
who murdered many of the Christian officials
and replaced them with Mahomedans The

CHARLESTON, W. VA, Jan. 1.-THE senate

situation of affairs it opened with yesterday
deadlock. Many ballots were taken yesterday
without change of result-Carr has l3 votes,
Minear p. and / floating. The situation is
rather embarrassing TO the republicans, as they
expected to organize the senate without trouble.
But trouble has arisen from several unexpected
causes. Mr.. Minear, who is being voted for by
the republicans, but who persists in voting for
the democratic nominee, Mr.. Carr, is hold
over republican and two years ago shook the
republican caucus and nominee and voted for
ex-senator Camden for Z. s. Senator.
The republicans were very bitter against
him in consequence and denounced him
in the strongest manner, even to the extent Of
preferring charges of bribery against him. 1t
Is believed by soNe that he is now getting his
revenge, by Others that it is a scheme in favor
of ex-senator Camden in case of a close fight
In Senator kenna's behalf. Mr.. Morris. the
republican member who made the charges Of
bribery against and denounced Minear so un-
compromisingly at the last session, gave evil
dence of a revolt when Minear was nominated
for president of the senate Wednesday. and.
while abiding the action of his party, is giving
his brethren some uneasiness Another ques-
ton still is bothering the republicans. A col
ored brother from Wood county, named Jas.
Madison. received the caucus nomination for
doorkeeper, in the face of several white COM
petitorS, and the friends of the whites are not
altogether pleased with the result, and do not
hesitate TO say so.

situation is merely the result of a republican
program to delay the organization of the SEN
