The strength of the spider silk is incred-
ibe. Size for size it is considerably tough
er than a bar of steel An ordinary spider s
thread is capable of bearing a weight of
three grains, while a steel thread Of the
same thickness would support less than
two. A bar of steel one inch in diameter
will bear a weight of fifty tons, but 1t Is
calculated that If spiders thread OF the
same size could exist, it would be capable
Of supporting weight of seventy-four
tons-that is TO say, its strength would be
half as great again as that Of steel, or near
iy three times that Of wrought iron Corn.

SAUL OF TARSUS

Mr.. weddings lecture on saul OF |
Tarsus, alias Saint Paul" was very
we'll received. 1t is true that the sub |
ject is old, but until the Union Pacific
railroad was built nothing was known
OF him in the far West.
General Jack Easement, the contrac-
tor for laying the U. p. track, once
attempted an off-hand lecture on Saint
Paul at Cheyenne, Wyoming, but the
audience cut him off at the opening
sentence: saint Paul was a d
square boy"-an algebraic mode of
expressing himself, it will be observed.
The generals hearers said that was
sufficient recommendation Of any ten
derfoOt, and they took the remainder
Of the lecture as on trust and carried
the speaker home in triumph, not in
his carriage, but in his cups.
There have been doubts expressed
as to the lightning stroke from the
clear sky which blinded SAUL but the
poet Horace, who lived some eighty
years before Saui's day, gives similar
account of an event in his life and his
return to the worship of the gods after
having been a "a remiss and infre-
quent wOrshipper" of them and one
who had strayed after a senseless phil
osophy, as he called Epicurianism.
The stroke which Horace experienced
was far more tremendous than
Sauls, for he says that it shook the
the rivers of Earth and the founda-
tions Of Sheol.
Horace drank Falermian wine,
sometimes mingling it with the choice
Massic, but when he had to he could
drink what he described as "vile Sa-
bine wine in sober cups" An account
given by any old bachelor, living alb
stemiously on little farm, but occa-
sionally having an abundance Of the
three brands named above, and dining,
as often as he chose to, with the prime
minister of Rome, in the Golden Age,
going to the place on a cropped mule,
must be taken with some allowance
when it comes TO sea-serpents, earth
quakes, the number of fish he caught
or any other prodigy. There are two
instances given in Virgil Of thunder
and lightning from a clear sky, but
it was in war times and we all know
that many irregular things happen
then. Moreover, we know that one
fish story prompts another and as
Horace and Virgil were esteemed con-
temporaries, as well as warm friends,
it is not unlikely that Virgil initiated
Horace in that one thing.
Mr.. Vending does not seem t.
know that Paul took this name to sig
nifty his littleness or significance il
the sight of heaven, for it is from
pduil,S, little. In all his walks anC
ways he was becomingly modest
speaking Of his own immortal word
as those of a fool, and sending kisse
