THE democracy and some republic
cans as we'll, do not take kindly to
the idea Of government control of
telegraph, and consider the attempt,
or the agitation of the subject, utterly
foreign to all ideas of economy and
good government. One of the best
authorities on this subject in recent
article says:
Gully Sixty. one per cent of the
telegraph lines of the world are
under government control, and, leav-
ing out Canada and the United
States, ninety-five per cent are
under sued control. Some Of the
rates are as follows: England
charges twelve cents for twenty
words; Germany seventeen sents for
ten words, and deducts IA cents for
every word less than ten; Belgium
nine cents for ten words; Italy eigh-
teen cents for fifteen words; Swltzer-
land ten cents for ten words.n

THAT reported outrage on a two
year-o infant at Del Rio, this state,
is the most revolving crime ever per-
petrated in the annals of the state.
1t is SO horrible that one can hardly
realize the preparation; so damnable
that it seems impossible human de-
pravity could reach so low a depth;
80 unnatural that the mind cannot
sense the condition of the animal who
perpetrAted it. such deeds make on

THE SILK SPIDER.

A Web So Strong that a Thread of
1t Will Hold a Mans Hat.
Longman'S Magazine.
DIR. Walsh recounts that in his
travels through Brazil he came across
spider which he names Arenca
maculata, and which is admirably
adapted for silk producing purposes.
Far from devouring Oh 10 another, after
the vOracious manner of their Euro
pean relatives, these spiders live in
little communities apparently on the
size and spin following web, the
threads of which are fully as thick as
ordinary silk. The size and strength
of these weOs are shown by the fol-
lowing statement made by DIR. Walsh:
I'm passing in an opening between
some trees L felt my head entangle in
some obstruction, and on withdraw
ing it, my light straw hat remained
behind. When / looked up 1 saw it
suspended in the air, entangled in the
meshes of an immense cobweb, which
was drawn like q veil of thick gauze
across the opening, and was extended
from branch to branch Of the opposite
trees, as large as a sheet 10 or IL feet
in diameter" The DOCTORS account
of the huge web spun by this spider
has been confirmed by the observa-
tions of other travellers, one of W hom
states that he has seen q single web
which completely envsloped a large
lemon tree. Spider silk such as this,
is produced in other parts of the
world besides Brazil.
Speaking of the spider in Ceylon,
Sir J. E. Tenant says: "Their webs
stretched from tree to tree, are so
strong as to cause q painful check
against the face when moving quick
ly against them, and more than once
in riding 1 have had my hat lifted by
by a single thread" Presumably the
spider of whose web Sir E. Tenant
speaks in these terms is the same one
that is described by Sir Samuel Baker
i'm one of his writings about Ceylon.
He says that it is 2 inches in length,
and spins q web 2 or 8 feet in diane
ter, the threads which are so thick
that if walking stick is thrown
among them it remains suspend
ed. Mr.. F. w. Burbridge,
tells of another spider, black
yellow spotted, and measuring 6 or
even s inches across the extended
legs, which spins silk of the thickness
