Robert F. Smith, turnkey of the u
ster county, N. Y, Jail, finds that spi-
ders are useful in ascertaining whether
prisoners have been tampering with
iron window bars or not. 1t is not easy
to discover the cut of a fine saw in an
iron bar, especially when such cut has
been carefully closed with blackened
bread. Even running a knife blade
along the bar does not always disclose
1t. Spiders weave their webs over these
windows, running their threads from
bar to bar. Aprisonercannot work on
a bar without breakingdown the webs.
When the officer sees the web has not
been displaced he considers it good
proof that the window bars have not
been sawed. If the web has been
brushed away he makes a careful ex-
animation. Philadelphia Ledger.

A curious system of fines obtains in
Germany People are fined for every
curious little alleged offense. An es
Unable lady very near and dear to
mel went out for a walk in the old
part of Hanover. Wandering about in
the quaint, narrow streets she lost her
way, and, being unable to speak Ger
man OF to find a cab, she meandered
wildly hither and thither until at last
she found herself in a remote suburb
quite in the country. Seeking to make
a short cut back to the city she start
cd across an open field, but was speed
lily overhauled by a native who implied
by his tones and gestures that she was
committing a grave offense.
To make a long and narrowing story
short, this estimable lady was ultimate
ly compelled to pay a fine of three
marks for trespassing (most ~innocently)
upon the private property of a subur-
ban farmer. If it were not, however,
for the severity of the trespass law
farms, orchards and meadows would
be ruthlessly o~verrun, for fences are
what the book sellers would call EEK
cessively rare"
Boys are fined for playing games
in the streets; to throw a snow
ball at any person or any thing
costs three marks. Whistling upon the
streets is a Unable o%ffense; so is drop
ping nutshells or fruit peelings upon
the pavement. If your neighbor keeps
poultry and the cackling disturbs you
a complaint to the police results In the
immediate abatement of the nuisance.

Is enabled to bear the cost of so large

three marks; for this sum the average
American boy can commit any one OF
those characteristic actions or careless
nesses which in his native land are con
sidered the natural prerogatives OF
masculine youth. When one says that

IN Il TAN U

They are then taken into a large room,
the floor Of which is simply planks laid
over large watts. Into these watts a hide
is thrown, fresh bark is scattered over 1t,
and another hide is placed on top, etc,
until the vat is filed. The whole is sub
merged in the strongest tan liquor.
While these are soaking let us see how
the liquor is made. In u large room
there are thirty-two leeching watts, each
10 feet in diameter and 10 feet deep. In
a new tannery these must be filed with
fresh water and ground bark, but in an
established tannery liquor is used. The
fresh bark is flooded with strong liquor,
and when this is drawn off weaker liquor
is put on the same bark, the vat being
allowed to stand eight days each time,
and then weaker liquor is placed on the
bark, till Mt the thirty-second time it is
pure water; or. in other words, fresh
water is put on worn out bark, then
transferred to fresher and fresher, until
when put on new bark it is strong
liquor. The exhausted bark is burned in
heated ovens and generates an immense
amount of steam.
The hides taken from the watts were
packed with bark and suspended on
frames in tan liquor for two weeks.
Here as in the leeching process an old
tannery has al advantage. The fresh
liquor is put on the hides that nave been
longest tanning, and as the strength is
taken out by the hides the liquor is run
over fresher hides until at last it is run
over perfectly fresh hides and into the
sewer. Thus the longer a hide has been
tanning the stronger liquor it is subject
ed to.
From the watts the hides are taken to
be secured by a brush and stone in a
machine. They are then dried. When
perfectly dry they are tempered by be-
ing dampened with fresh water. They
are then polished with copper wheels
worked By machinery in the manner of
a huge fiatiron. This is the last touch
given to sole leather. Betting leather is
sold in the rough without this last pol
ishing. Betting is, however, made here,
and only the best stock is selected for
that purpose. The hides are first cut into
short strips of the proper width, soaked
and secured, dried and stuffed. Stufing
consists in applying a coa of oil and
grease to the damp leather. 1t is then
dried and the oil is absorbed by the
leather, after which the grease is scraped
off, the strip dampened and put into a
frame, where it is subjected to a great
strain in order that it may lose all elias

The study of the ostrich is filed with
interest to the thinking mind. Minds
not used for thinking purposes, however,
will find little to interest them in the
ostrich. One odd feature about this
bird is the custom common to the female
Of laying several extra eggs outside the
nest for the young to eat as soon as they
are hatched. This is only true. how
ever, of the birds who inhabit Syria,
Palestine and Egypt, as they are not
strictly tropical. In the tropical lati-
tudes, OF course, the ostrich does not sit
on her eggs, but deposits them in a sand
pile, and with a degree of Indolent faith
worthy of a mother who is a corporal in

to an all wise providence to hatch out,
while she goes forth seeking out other
peoples children IN order that she may
reform them.
